I have sustained and harbored for years?

With a string of curses never too far behind,
From the host, feeling particularly dejected,
Yet who’s always been able to have them wined,
And out the door without feeling affected.

Latent Destiny10/14/21
Everything follows you home,
Your skin is denying,
The usual monochrome,
For grip marks applying,
The shell of your catacomb.
Parts are tempted to find out,

To Know You is to Love YouWhen I say “I can’t take anymore.”
It’s really quite a shame
That doesn’t mean I’ll shut the door
It’s become a losing game

The RainbowThe Rainbow
The world howled and the roaring thunder did clap,
amid frothing waters and whipping winds our vessel marched.
To us whom the boiling sea had unkindly spared there was no stopgap,

KnotsKnots
Two fibers to join take some time,
Partly crossed, partly ajar.

I Will Search ForeverLife on Earth is but a brief interlude,
watercolors fading, becoming air.
Yet, loving once surely we could conclude
love is the purpose of our being there.
Night upon night, it's my dreams you intrude.
You thought this was all...

Larissa Laluna
The sun was sporting a radiant yellow,
with headlong pause, upon entering her space.
Tanned and serene, cheered by warm fellow,
Larissa’s slightly demure, emanating grace,

Oh, Autumn
Today I really feel it; I feel it in the air,
and even though I still can feel sun’s glow,

midst guilt-condemning sins, awfully rife

as night owls glide silently upon wings stalling
while twinkling stars shine so...

Cinnamon Leaves of Autumn
Autumn teases the last cinnamon leaves
clinging to branches with amber fingers.
Seasonal change awakens Nature's thieves,
a wafting breeze that doggedly lingers,

In the sight of the harvest moons bright helping hand
I feel the root of natures’ essence singing loud from...
