SILHOUETTE (21/23) — PIQUE
Mood swings
Devoid of meaning;
Confront conflict
~~~~~
Here I place
My face to trace
A touch of grace
As mystic wit
Floods lavish fit
Here I stand
To understand
And comprehend
How time and space
Contain pure grace

dawn explosion of color ~
angel’s and flower’s
spectacular yellows, pinks,
cerulean blue ~
still charcoal gray sky
if i look outside, my eyes
depressed by a sunless sketch.

Cast not your pride
With curious tides
Look to your soul
For a sure whole
Feel the hollow
As thought mellows
To purge your pain
Live not in vain
Vain thoughts bring more
Of pain that spores
In a vain pique
Empty makes sick
At journey’s end
Death is your friend

Prize profound poise
Craft clever choice
Dream dazzling dare
Stretch sublime stare
Live lovely lines
Feel fragrance fine
Ask amply apt
Watch wonder wrap
Jazz joyful jest
Frame funny fest
Wander wise wit
Fill frenzy fit
Live laughter loud
Ply profound proud
Dance dreamy draft
Charm cheery craft
Wear witness well
Daze drizzles dwell
Treasure true times
Rich ripples rhyme
Sense salty sea
Bright blessing be

Fancy speaks as fancy can
See if you can understand
Sorry pokes as sorry can
To attempt now to befriend
Worry jerks as worry can
A silly sorry work grand

Fancy floats free
Bright blessings be
Lift lovely laugh
Seek sunny stuff
Pique pleasure poise
Calm cheeky choice
Set simple say
Pick pickled play
Success styles sweet
Mauve moments meet
Laughter lifts looks
Bright bubbles book
Rush romantique
Boost bright boutique

In these deep woods, poetry brews rich dark
Like dark coffee, acidic on tongue_ cheek
I could say deep dark remarks on tales embark
Write poem, for you have put me in a pique
From the deep dark forest draw ravens black
Let them feed upon your brain's carrion
For it is dead, vile, let them eat your flack
Your cadaver brain is barbarian
Refined gracious lady keeps loving
Her spirit turns blind eye to all faults
Nearly all faults_learning to be accepting
Even when bombarded with rash insults
These dark, dark woods forgive your wrong thinking
Though in heart it's impact still affecting
finis
