Premium Member My Apology

Apologies for the opprobrious actions that have been brought             

For Thee, who descended from the exalted throne of Camelot                

Patiently guiding and reminiscing of what has been forgot                             

My constituent tactics will forevermore be at naught              

Ruminating and beholding rain for a garden's flowerpot

For introducing a valueless and unfruitful counter-plot           

Being the barren soil, being the one who became a sunspot

Spoken before the unseen and plants encircled within earshot   

The evoking morning rays of consciousness have caused some distraught 

Occurred the substantial difficult admonition for one taught                        

Through time, traveling as a cosmonaut, change of heart, change of thought   

Eons An Augenblick, please keep this seed inside the orchard’s plot

Cursed Abscond

Disaffection            Contemptible 
Inaction 
Always disappointing 
 A life filled with abjection 

A bitterness following 
A black clouded – sadness – infliction 
Running in retrogress           run from her apathy 
False heartedness                               filled with antipathy 

Praying for death 
 in my godless ministry 

Suffering so ruthless 
Without any sympathy 
Without you I'm useless 

Opprobrious eyes           demand I abscond 
For she's a shell 
that is now loveless 
Now selfish 
 now dies 
Her hand is now gone 
In my hands now I cry.

A Little Boy Once Dreamt

A little boy once dreamt:
houses made of chocolate,
and the skies low enough to reach.
The chocolate hard, once melted in its liquid,
ready for our dry lips to taste.
The skies low, to see what's beyond us,
mars covered in candy, a beautiful atmosphere, everlasting.

And the little boy also dreamt,
life without pain,
and the world to love and like -
no beings muddleheaded,
no dying without reason,
no opprobrious souls...
a life for each and every one of us to live peacefully,
hand in hand.


Work

For what reason
must one extraordinary legacy end
and shameful era begin;
opprobrious season.
