Sheer Fear
Pink horizons mollifies probing eyes as clouds dissipate above
To the heavens bow gratitude where migrant birds hang glide
Venerated cosmic gods who quieted his pain then gave it love
Yet dusk arrived now this restless heart have no place to hide
A raging sea within me foresee fragmented ancient reflections
Impervious to heavenly rays of interminable mystical sunrises
Averse in utilizing rationalizations amending illogical emotions
Sheer fear appear sinister when incongruity incessantly arises

two-legged ants dart
around & through
a holographic city
overcome by
an illusion of order
overwhelmed by
a terrestrial constellation
under cacophonous con(de)struction
six-legged ants dutifully
transport breadcrumbs to tiny
chasms in the mottled dirt
where cool dark silence
briefly mollifies
a holographic planet
under careless (de)construction

Music can surely heal
Worries, it can steal
It can wisely deal
This is what I feel
Music gives solace
In innumerable ways
Stick to it always
Peace, you can trace !
Music just pacifies
It kindly mollifies
Away tension flies
Our sorrow dies
Music makes us glad
Happiness is ever had
If our mood is bad
Joy, music does add
Music is a holy treat
To regulate heart-beat
Music makes mind neat
Heaven, it makes us meet
If someone is sick
Music plays a trick
Health, he can pick
Via power of music.

What are the things that add Zest to your life,
What moves your heart into Joy,
What kind of remedy mollifies Strife,
What dials you back from Annoy?
Who can you count on to come to your Aid,
Who guides your path on the Way,
Who gives permission to drop bad Crusade,
Who tells you line is Cliché?
Where do you go to find Peace from the noise
Where’s the Love worth looking for,
Where the life lessons that elevate Poise
Where’s Friend who’s not metaphor?
Flavor enhancers do truly Exist
If you would find Happiness
Openness also should grace any list
Always just follow your Bliss.

Alien Messiah
A recital of miserly contastrophists
led by a figure of churlish meanness
speaking rhetoric of the pacifist
maniacal god complex of fierceness
chorus
pledge allegiance to the alien messiah
like Caligula, a self proclaimed living god
power hungry deviant like Allah
with grandiose gestures mollifies the crowd
no iniquity into his spoken words
His hellish plans he now boldly avowed
the mad man in the house has sole control
chorus
Total disregard for black letter law
driven double speak of the deceitful
Iron fist tyrant We should of foresaw
Orwellian society now pitiful
Chorus
Perversely satisfied with global order
mask comes off in this toxic atmosphere
like black death from an exploding mortar
a menstrual rainbow society is here

Drench me in the hues of ocean.
The sky in my bosom quivers
while the dark clouds shadow the birds.
Lost in eternal darkness
heart ripped off by this separation
Insanity mollifies the baffled mind.
Devoured by bleakness
the soul rejoices in complacency.

Imagine true love exists
Virtue that on fealty insists
Extinguishing meaningless trysts
Patrimony, chauvinism resists
Tokenism, infatuation desists
Lingering romance that heart uplifts
Unbrokered love with mutual benefits
Pure motives that bridge all rifts
Honor that countenances no grifts
Steadfastness which mollifies truant shifts
Passionate embraces, carnal gifts
Amorous kiss that inwardly drifts
Synchronistic minds that all good fortune sifts
Harmonious spirits soaring life's rugged cliffs

As the wind briefed the shrubs
To heel by its course
The wobbled shrubs then whispered
To be gentle by it’s arouse
The wind then tamed by the virtue of verity
For the shrubs to dance freely
The bopping shrubs then exclaimed
To bestow with clouds and dance monarchally
The wind then questioned –
Monarchally?
The sun that appeared brightly
Is actually taking away the greenery.
The thirsty shrubs then insisted
The wind to be kind
To come along with the clouds
To pour upon them heavily.
As the wind then decided
To play by its mollifies
It conferred with the vapors
And asked the sky
To evince its outrages with cumulonimbus
And fall upon the earth over the shrubs
To meet their thirst
And respire along with the wind
To heel by its course.
The fresh aroma of the earth
That breathed by the rain
Few drops glinted upon the garden
And the grasses sprinkled by the free rein.

Ennui conspires insipid moods
infringing human awareness,
ruled by a lunatic vision,
not controlled by insight and lucidity;
and a desire for a Dolce Vita
mollifies a false illusion
to appear on an intaglio, to gradually
become a shining insignia.
To steer a ship, takes effort and patience,
and if its course is guided by favorable winds,
all is well for the adventurous captain;
and should he lose focus, lured by lunacy and nihilism,
his enthusiasm wears off and failure sets in...
and his ship will lurch on unfriendly waves,
and his ennui deprives him of courage to deviate
from the safe route when nocturnal vision is lost indeed.
Ennui insinuates myopia,
muzzling the voice and halting
the mind's performance,
thus forging the promise of utopia;
and the hunch is to pursue intuition
whenever it may lead...being
the holster controlling the steed,
getting rid of the humdrum and huff,
humming and ignoring the hourglass,
which trickles the sand to infuse fear.
