your foulmouthed shout
weaves angry waves
bashes my ear drums
pierced I wail in vain
as the echo gets closer
staccato crescendo
climax refrain
can’t shut you out
cannot withhold
silence won’t come
until the final note
that fails to abate
our melody out of tune
sweet memories wane
why so cruel I dare
to object and stall
in anxious mourning
beaten I tap on my scull
hardcore discordance
dis-phonic noise pollution
where harmony morphed
into orchestral acrimony
until I dust off the harp
restring my guitar
triangular chords
block coda and pain
reclaim my own music
mute your assault
scream as loud as you want
eat your words
digest my freedom
croak as you wish
while I breathe fresh love

What more do you want?
You ask for a shape I give you a color.
Your sweet tongue grows salty on my ears.
Bring forth the kite,
Let me restring it for you,
We'll work together,
Get it all right,
In the mist of courage,
We're all wandering.
"Daughters of Trust, I forbid you!"
He called.
But they were filing out now.
Astrewning the skies with wonders,
Glittering grace down to us now
Now, but what do we do now?
"We have no more cows!"
She yelled.
"What more do you want?"
He yelled.
But the matter had ended.
No one was listening
'Cept the boat in the harbor.

This cadre of intent so compromised
by bridge of soul's relent exemplified,
retelliations quandary builds complied
in asking's way, my spirit only bides.
That compass merely ground, accomplicing
a higher level mounds to reveling.
Oh grant of time, so compliment, restring
Thy motives masking mine with their upswing!
Do span my entity, so nurturing
some grief's deterrent, heal my measuring,
once faith, forgotten now , faults leveling
the seal of truth, contingent on redeem!
Oh span of righteousness, I wish new scene
to cross this gap, contention's sullen ream,
a fold of my detention, not extreme
nor fear my own invent or love's new dream!
