Some things in life one must not shirk
Heal things that drive the mind bezerk
Relieve a long time personal quirk
Arising, past deep shadows lurk
Creates a doleful hazy murk
Dig deep to find a joyful perk
With daily prayer to make self love work
when more money spend
to me another bill send
on income depend
about game will talk
either was a hit or walk
or had been a balk
had been well rehearsed
for being best and not worst
in standing was first
when we heard God call
many sins caused us to fall
each one will appall
when my sins will hurt
God does serve meals with dessert
gives me a growth spirt
when we start to grieve
from the sins we do receive
will always relieve
My mind
A big store
Should be empty
Of worries
& suppressed feelings
At least
Once
Maybe
In a while
Oh childhood lullaby
Yee of bedtime sheep tailored
dream woven pillowcase
Ticking striking momentum behind
hidden crossed finger hand
Conical , decoherence pyramid shape
of future held in open palm
In barren room furnished simply
with a wardrobe hidden in a corner
Beckoning forth an erstwhile champion to
penetrable it's wonder-wall of secrets
And relieve them of the key so
as they can sleep and keep no more
While those who unbeknownst to them
know what they are not
Safely slumber under moon and star
pulsar up above and far further beyond
Sheltering under love's protection from
the bite of the north cold winds jagged teeth
cutting through bare exposed flesh
Who's purpose they believe is to challenge
the power of the witches spell and stroke
a lion's mane
And hopefully imagination permitting
return via the very same rabbit hole
they entered
To speak and tell of such graphic tales in
the key of lullaby that children just like
themselves can even understand
And willingly wish to go to bed in order
to dream
And resume the search of last night's
merriment and folly

Opens wisdom wings;

Topic: Birthday of Richard Rosendo (December 16)
Form: Vertical Monocrostic
Tension cascades down the neck
shoulders all through heavy legs,
avalanche of a sand that has been
weighing me down with burden.
Vacuum replaces this drop
in an after echo of the shock,
legs deflated by stress of blood
are left without structure to hold.
Balloon head floats a migraine,
aimlessly it drifts ruler of none
in conflict duplicity of the outcome.
Celebrate the thick skin of endurance
or repudiate unseen extent of damage,
thus pick the numb wine to pour tonight.
