Young ladies drink nitroglycerin
They would never hurt a fly
Please forgive them for their sins
They commit murders by mistake
It was an accident or a bad day
Let us pray
When they see God for the first time
They burp but not on purpose
He is much taller in person
Their friends from the west coast say
God carries a purse and has no gender
Silly people
What were they thinking
He is not from LA or Earth
If you curse He will forgive you
If you explode you are on your own

On the dark side of the sun
So hard to see beyond yourself
Too bright to see the back yard
Of the stars behind the curtain
Behind the mind of time
Are oceans really on the sun?
The forest for the trees exposed
Hides other life forms dressing up
In purple skins of nitroglycerin
Globes covered in raw happy light
Explode their particles to the stars
Rays of rain, subsisting on a solar song
Small objects rounding out the day
Drops of water turn to cosmic mist
Pulsing lights surf on raw waters energy
The proof is in believing everything is wet
Not water in the purest sense adrift
Cast more water on troubled water?
Oceans away the concept seems absurd
Seen through telescopic lenses end
If you must cast aspersions then
See mysteries around the corner
---------------Bend--------------------
Shadows know their way around
Crueler things found in the dark
A dispersion of light bursts forth
Reflectively genuflecting to sight
The other side of midnight dawns
Certainly without a drop of water
The dark side of the sun moves on

Just took a Nitroglycerin,
Do you know what that is?
A pill to ease stress and pain
When the World seems to dis!
Never been written up yet,
From Nursery to Adult Jobs
Even though I was no foolish pet.
I only did so without any sobs.
Now in reality there are haters,
Plastering, pestering, being bothersome
Where ever I go and caters,
To things in reality so noisome!
It’s almost 2018! They falsely
Get together to prey;
And I’m no morsel hastily
Eaten to finally spray.
Goodbye 2017 of malice, spite, criticism
That I would use in 2018 era
To read the Cathetism,
For their corrupted circa de ‘17.

Inside, deep inside, at your window
Near the dim light and mystic shadow
Twinkle your moistened graceful eyes
Rustling leaves of moonlit memories
Opening the gates of many a garden
Sonnets of sobs and smiles of soul
Prayers fulfilled and prayers frustrated
Escalators toward hints from paradise
Calm cool cucumber slice on my eyes
Tranquil flames fostering faith and felicity
Inside I look and say what a universe
On the blurring border of light and dark
Nitroglycerin moments in a quiet refuge
