My most beautiful nomenclature,
An aldehyde of esteric fragrance,
Roses know I give better pleasure, but...
...You are no doubt better than red roses;
Indeed, your presence is catalytic,
Like electrons, you complete my valency;
Optically, you've made me feel isomeric;
Van der Waals could never dare compare...
...Ethane to someone as aromatic as
YOU.

Sharp the need
burning the bitter weed
burnt offerings in
fragments of imagery
feeling the spice sweet
dreams come
nice as the world swims
out of view
the light feeds on the pain
as if on cue feelings curl
around my spine
as the monsters crawl
were all is pain
smoldering lighting
erupts the vain
the poison seeps
on the nerves optically
burn the sweet spice
turn feelings
harrowing or serene
burrows deep
my spine sharp
but nice
burning the bitter weed
sharp is the need

The hood is foregone.
Into the past, of fired crucifixes upon front lawns.
The day has begun, a new dawn.
Bare faced, in the sun's illumination.
Guised within the roles that make a nation.
Spread throughout vital occupations.
Where darkened communities suffer from the
bleached cohorts occupation.
From tainted patrols roaming free on the range
with no scrutiny.
To deliver captives to like minded counselors
and judiciary.
As aesculapian institutions dispense succor to
the most monetary.
In conjunction with polity, where signed documentation
continues urban poverty.
Strengthened by miseducation from chameleon educators,
educated with an educational degree.
Conjoined in unity of conspiracy, waltzing through the
capital of democracy.
The confederates state their supremacy optically.
It is time for the rolling back of sleeves, to fight
the good fight with bravery.
Steadfast, and observe closely.
For the greatest trick the devil ever pulled, as evil stands
before you and me.

Have situations ever got away from you
evade conclusions while dramas protrude
like a chain link fence no time to think
assess why you're tense or reflect to sync
up events with stress to pull the valve on pressure
just endeavour at pace absent of pleasure
naturally adapt to lessen the impact
while facts not exact and the lesson abstract
taking life in just not learnt
quaking within and mentally burnt
then one intense altercation the only
thing in focus expanding slowly
and nothing else gets noticed
optically trained within the scope
and the rest of the world you take no note
suddenly it's draining all your energy
and events around it just let them be
busy searching every angle like a clock hand
around the clock to brain tangling demand
lurking constant and you assert but weary
astounded half shocked continuously nearly
working it out but for doubt in a muddle
evermore dumb founded increasing struggle
shoulder shrugging as your wonder wanders
from blunder to blunder now going under
where there's no sun it's just dark and dreary
you're torn up inside and teary, now hear me,
HAVE A DAY OFF!!

EYES--
a thing resembling an vision viewed in appearance shape
In my relative position I see
These views
Complex optical-system
Collects light from the surrounding environment
Focuses through adjustable assembly of lenses
To form an image, converts into a set of electrical signals
Transmits these signals
My picture perfect cause I see two
Optically I see what's going on all around me
Eye blue the hue of the skies above
Eyes brown visions of the clay, the earth and sands
Eye see two peering at my status Que
visible part typically patterns of colors all round us
Blacks and whites and shadows unite vision of stripe
Must have two to see double once
Sigh!!!
This I spy, as I look out of my eyes
So envisioned so many different hues and views
I am elated to actually be able to see out my own two

Vision is just an obscure frequency
Optically tuned into the epitome
Of soul
mentally
Constructing and Constricting
Into imagery
Whatever you are
Whatever you were
Whatever you thought
Is whatever you saw
Even though we see we never see it coming
Look at the past but the past has become us
What we come from
Isn't the sum of
What is to come
Stuck
Within the pendulum
Every lesson is a vessel
Signals sent to check you
Distract you
Or connect you
To paths you pass through
Concentrate
Contemplate
Decide then demonstrate
Disorganized sensory
Sensing things that don't make sense to me
deciphering and encrypting
This isn't a fantasy
This isn't at all what it appears to be

He was a writer, a fighter, an old-timer word rhymer
Always thought free verse was asinine
He was the queerest, the dearest, the tear in your beer-est
and he was one Tolkien over the line
He was archaic, prosaic, euphoric, historic
Made pentagrams optically divine
He was the cheekiest, geekiest, and uniquely freakiest
and he was one Tolkien over the line
He loved cigars and Star Wars, guitars, and sitars
Collages made his artistry torch shine
He was the jivest, high-fivest, young poet alive-est
and he was one Tolkien over the line
It's not much reward to those who are bored
but are afraid of not acting benign
Sometimes you gotta get riled, and go a bit wild
and step one Tolkien over the line

Snow as gentle as cotton growing in a field
New and freshly fallen snow
Optically exquisite and clean
Wise as the snowy owl
Flakes of white, six points to a snowflake
Loved and liked by humanity, on a scenic winter day
A sunny day melts the snowflakes
Kind views like a winter postcard
Every pedestrian careful on the walkways
Scenic and serene, God's friendship personified
