Amóre; what is that, he wondered,
before, before her, before the raw
Circean glimpsed across the buzzing
dance crazed rhythmic beating pulsing room.
Erudite, perniciously droll his
father was, he could have been, the old
generation, but not him, no sir;
he was master of the universe.
It took a while to traverse the room,
jam-packed with hot, febrile bodies in
karezza writhings, bodies touching;
love, or lust, on their minds and on his.
"May I?" "May you what?" She taunted;
neither spoke; both stared. His head bowed in
obeisance, bright red shoes his focus.
Power shifted, as both knew it would.
Quarry now the huntress, wolf killer
relishing command, his submission.
Slowly, mischievously; a wink; words;
"take me to your room, this moment, now
undress me; like you have already."
Vainglorious once; now, kin to a
witless fool, he stood, helpless; she stared;
x-rayed him with her cold steel-blue eyes;
"you're blushing," she whispered. The words like
zephyrs softly caressing his face …

Listen to the racket of resounding lies
that reverberate within your polluted mind,
where another truth is battered and dies.
I have dragged out the casualties of ethical beliefs,
and with disgust for their loss, expressed my grief
while your actions and words of which lies are replete
became the truth’s death, tossed around like trash on the street.
When I speak, the words spoken are poison for you to hear,
and they ignite your temper and strip your comfort—
the burden of truth’s casualties is always onerous to bare.
So, you retaliate with fury and come after me
as if I am doing wrong by admitting the truth in what I see.
And the fact is that I can see the malice in your eyes—
how your actions and words are perniciously personified.
I can see behind your mask nobody else can see,
your veiled intentions and secrets—
the epitome of shameless duplicity.
When you smile, there is no warmth or glow,
it is the mask of deceit that you always show.
So, while others remain fooled and praise your name,
I’ll NEVER be swayed by your fabricated fame!

What's a matta Rick?
Get tired or sick
Bored of your board?
The chore you adored
Now left for a ghost
No more here to post
Left for all but dead
Did you lose your head?
Did ya fugeddaboutit?
can't get a "roundtuit?"
Left it high
Left it dry
Go outta your mind?
Get lost in time?
On to greener pastures
Where the flora and fauna grow faster
"The grass isn't always greener
Where the septic tank is cleaner..."
A bit of advice amorphous
From the wise old Greek, Erroneous
Mayhaps thou art a lurkin'
Packin' prose perniciously perkin'
Mr. Robot's radar is workin'
Are you in a gerkin?
Didst thou lose thy quill of tales?
Choo Choo train gone off its rails?
Tall ship lost its sails?
Out huntin' great white whales?
Not a victim of skull-duggery?
Or engaged in some fool-buggery?
Anon, get thee to a nunnery!
I but jest, a bit of funnery!
If you're hangin' with the fairies
Ya best have a care, be wary
They're a tricky little kind
They'll mess with your mind
And before ya even know it
You're a mad mushroom poet...

From calm and quiet sanity
The source of my confusion
Brought riot to reality
And force behind delusion
Assaulting me and leaving me
In silent desperation
Affronting my humanity
Inside this degradation
What unseen force maliciously
Devoid of good intention
Is crushing me perniciously
In thoughts of my invention
Binding me with indecision's
Deepening despair
Blinding me with visions
Of a world that isn't there
The shackles of this grand design
Are chains I cannot see
And yet they check this life of mine
Through false reality
In crushing weight of hopelessness
I suffer silently
A victim of this mind mess
Some might call insanity
Some struggle for the right to live
While others live to die
Or battle through the night to give
Some meaning to the lie
The mystery they can't reveal
Is one with no solution
How can I know if life is real
Or really an illusion?

Sisyphus pushes his rock up hill
While Atlas bears his load.
Damned by the ire of capricious gods,
Forced down a toilsome road.
And so it is with the gods of thrill
Who trap and hold you fast
With opioids and images,
Perniciously unsurpassed!
Beware the promise of wealth or skill
Contained in a bottle brown.
Hold to the rod of simple truth
Lest you be taken down!

You who perniciously perpetuate
In your own timely image
In a changing, disastrously dangerous world
You reap momentary satisfaction
Millions of blind, awe-struck hangers-on
Whose eerie interpretation is often mistook
Now you deceptively sway them
Tomorrow someone will slay them
As each tempo or rhythm separates

Adjacent to Magic Mr. Coffee
Miss Sunbeam sits anxiously
atop the frigid Ms. Frigidaire
Grab two of her offspring
She protests perniciously
and shrieks ‘Kidnapper!!’
Madame Cuisinart murmurs
‘C’mon, right here in my slots
Oooh! Yes, you NAUGHTY boy’
Shove down her handle and hear
one victim exclaim to the other:
‘Hey bro, I think we’re toast’….
Damn RIGHT you are Sunny Boy
and don’t you dare burn me
then try to butter me up again
Bzzzt! (A shocking turn of events)

That timetable of rapt familiarity's discern
resolves transmitting rumors, my befriend
dysfunctions with misfitting, halting's bend
and circumvents a standstill, toward no end!
While opposite in furthering's belief
beginning's placate, anchoring's achieve
that dormancy becomes a truth's bereave ~
life's reconciling justice to perceive!
All told, involuntary atmospheric sieve
the matters decimating plannings blind
are flushed away, as truth's fulfilled contend
perniciously is focused to amend!
That timeless trust, no telltale virtues send
can irritate or spill the hope's distend,
hurt's mortifying gospel's spoken trend
are turned to love, by hope's conspired extend!

Absorbed of you and seeing
the things your senses blind.
Soaked in my concentration,
polarised in my head.
Chemistry, perniciously,
weaves magic paradigms.
Apothecary wisdom dusts
soft the biology.
Bio-rhythms, endocrine storm
lunar clouds like swamp fire.
And flesh, my flesh, to frost infused
seared at sub-zero.
The nervous system central buzz,
descant of sampled sound.
Centrifugal cinema screens
rotate in spun catastrophe.
No matter how or what the life station,
feelings for you remain inviolate.
Dictates the affecting actions
taken in due alchemy.
