Phosphorescent planetary
paths petrify prematurely,
Profoundly powerful
photospheres perish
pathetically,
Prominences polarize,
Propagating parabolic
phantom - shadows,
Preterite plasma - bursts
petrify periodically,
Precipitating permanent,
pitch - black primordial -
gloom,
Prototypical pulsars
paradoxically portend post-
stellar doom,
Profound planetary
patriarchs perish perpetually.
Understanding is like blossoming
of flowers
Misunderstandings of course perishing
Came dancing my doomsday
With the dark specks contort
my head shook to dare-
pour the corrosion on spot
my life dealt below the belt-
Over the matrimonial surprise
Made confused dwindled head,
that came to seal my pact
with the signature of doom
My lover's attach remnant-
On the align with malignant ages;
I lay subconscious in dormant-
And cuddled my angels,
If not for me my heart's grant
I could reverse our quarrels.
I've wanted so much,
So many things that I can't even contain,
Even the mere concept of desire,
Is enough to keep me in infinite daydream,
I can stare out from above at dusk,
So high but not far enough to see the matter itself form,
And I'll look down not in fear,
But to question the fall,
For if I dive off this place into abyss,
How long will it take?
Mere segments of time to see all that matters,
And it's truly sad that in order to see these things,
I must certainly perish,
But in those moments escaped,
I'll know all that I not want but need,
Sometimes just knowing is enough,
To make life worth ceasing.
A Perishing Soul
Warrior fell with desperate woe
pride wounded or innocent hurt
missed the play but never the show
Warrior fell with desperate woe
dying quickly he does not know
prayers offered but so very curt
Warrior fell with desperate woe
pride wounded or innocent hurt

Zeugma/Triolet contest entry..
Whenever I sit
in the rain
and see
streetlights
light the
pavement and
puddles,
the snow piles
from last week
creep to
the drains,
as if to wait
for next year
in hibernation,
I think about
what's guarenteed
tomorrow,
and I laugh
at history's repetition
'First tragedy,
then farce.'
And I feel the
unrelenting sun
from the summer
relent
as I exhale.
