Sometimes the less weight you bear,
The more of your own weight tips the scales.
There's too many words, too much chaos,
All stemming from silence, from absence.
The coziest warmth is someone else's.
Even the hottest nights can still be cold.
No better music than their laugh.
No stronger longing than not knowing who.

Before buying Twitter in 2022, Musk had said, “Buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app."
Blue birdie, we bid you goodbye.
The sight of that “X” makes us sigh.
It’s not cute like you.
Will Musk ever rue
the day he coerced you to fly?
So~~Twitter is neck-deep in debt.
“X” won’t solve that problem, I’ll bet.
We know you’ll be missed.
So sad you’ve been dissed
by one who views X like a pet!

Come close to me, dearest sweet love.
Hum echoes in my dreams
Let me hear your voice from above,
Elated as love seems.
Each night I feel your kiss,
Darling, you are my bliss,
Hold me tight dear like this.
I care for thee,
Come close to me.

A bouquet of the vestiges of our gall
An aroma that we all parade
With an essence we can't abate
One day it shall encompass us all
For we are inevitable to the fall
And that sinewy scent gives us no shade
From that quietus, not willing to fade
But when we enter the gates, we shall be shawled
Let that last fragrance trumpet our arrival
As we cross the everlasting sea
Cause those that greet us are only tribal
But if your name is ascribed in the book of the bible
The the scent of quietus will set you free
For only our transgressions, we are liable.

Give ear to stream blowing rough ground
Vying spreading plain voice
Spring wind swings spruces blown around
In the calm vale of choice
Yields a cool, clean dwelling
On a calm sea, whistling
Lifestream contemplating
Swept by the dream
Give ear to stream

God, earn a place in our hearts
As we feeble being
Sighting us, we strive for grafts
Save our day of rising
Love each day, is his way
Share thoughts, set time to pray.
Try to grasp facts each day
save us from spates
god, earn a place.

Each moment so sweet, enjoy it,
Just dwell on life's good things;
With life's course of verse, rhyme a bit,
Much joy, to you, it brings.
See the poise of the sea:
Her harmonic chord be
Her ebb and flow you see!
With a smile you greet,
Each moment so sweet.

I stroll, serene, among the trees,
Ascend a gentle hill.
Sun on the face, a subtle breeze,
Enhance my sense of thrill.
Yet all does pale compare,
For she awaits me there:
Graceful curves, wavy hair.
Beside my Queen,
I stroll, serene.

My divine strength, shield my dismay
Exult holly swiftness
Yield not to dull gloomy betray
Creed gapes at lavishness
Yield the boon, not the bad
Dark source upward forbade
Let not soul dwells in cad
Lift lush roots faith
My divine strength

If bliss the quietus, heart glows
We feel complete and whole
Soma nectar within us flows
Remains no earth bound goal
Purring magnetic heat
Has us feeling upbeat
Suffused with joy replete
There is no hiatus
If bliss the quietus

As Autumn delays, I await
Winter's crystal snowflakes
With delight, I anticipate
Skating on frozen lakes
Golden leaves turning red
Bare tree limbs I will dread
But I will look ahead
To chillier days
As Autumn delays

Fear leashes unforeseen harpoons
when faith flees to the hold.
Wind gauges possible typhoons,
purser murmurs threefold...
fractures in the bulkhead
sailors stymied by dread
damage and death ahead
Fear leashes anxiety;
Faith can anchor urgency.

The sky tonight is full of scars
Gaping like my heart-flesh
Punctures of its myriad stars
Still bloody red and fresh
Oh night, don't slip away
I have much more to say
Before you turn to day
I will make right
The sky tonight

The tongue waves its magical wand
capable of much more
than to dot its prints on the sand
all over your heart-shore
It can gladden the mad
Lead the way for the sad
Always in glitter clad
My ear craves
The tongue waves

Smoky sunset over the plain
Is it time for a verse?
Your breaths caress my neck like rain
Will our goodbye be terse?
We're in a pandemic
Words that were once magic
Useless to lives tragic
I lose a bet
Smoky sunset
