Rhetorical Somethings And Nothings

Somewhere there’s a
sunflower poking out from
the corner of a concrete
barrier, going unnoticed
by everyone except
myself.

And it makes
me wonder:

They say when
you fall in love with
an artist, you
can never die.

But what
happens when
an artist falls
in love? Do
they continue
capturing futures,
or only retrospective
moments?

Time is an old
concept—or shall
I say, odd?

Because
I see you in soft shadows
and storefront glass, in
wilted flowers I forget to
water,

yeah ...

there was someone ...
a long time ago,
lifetimes, really ... eons,
and she burned me ...
oh, I don't mean in a bad way,
like betrayal,
I mean inside - DEEP inside,
like torch burns steel,
she seared herself into my being -
fired her name into my marrow,
with immutability and intent ...
like gods etch their ids on
the pillars of eternity,
she changed

I Ask Myself a Rhetorical Question Regarding

I ask myself a rhetorical question regarding...
the durability, longevity, and tenacity of *****sapiens,
after screaming headlines report one after another atrocity.

How did the human species manage to survive
with many means
of self destruction at their disposal?

Atomic stockpiles nothing
but ticking time bombs,
and prior to advent regarding
weapons of mass destruction,
the histories of civilizations
replete with one after another
ingenious modus

Lost in deep blue.
Stuck in a mood.
Find the sunshine.
What to choose,
A frame of mind.
Open new views,
Just so much time.
Go in win or lose.
Move on with style.
Whatever ensues.
Endeavor to peruse.
Rhetorical Exercise.

Absurdity: a Rhetorical Question

I 
it was midnight in a perfect world
as a child my mind swirled
with ideas as domestic troubles stirred  
from an early age, innocence unfurled 
how can a man learn to live happy in this world
as to which we were so randomly hurled?

Metaphorical and Rhetorical

Metaphorical and Rhetorical

Had lasted forever and was historical;
Is something else and metaphorical;
What a mess;
Had to guess;
Effectively written and metaphorical.

A knock on wood,

You entered my office ...
I was showing a young couple some diamonds -
Oval Brilliants and Emerald Cuts, I recall quite clearly,
"Message for you" ... you winked, and tucked a note into my hand.
While they fawned over the 3/4ct F-VS1 in the pin spots,

I unfolded the paper and read - 'I'm pregnant!'
Oh, I

Feel how poise charms with a clear write,
Ink in bold strokes the art of reach;
Note voice that arms the way you cite,
Etch as style yokes finesse in each.
Rouse then the truth that lights the way,
Heart and mind sync with charm that wills;
End with grand proof that levels play,
Touch knows fine think as thought meets feel;

Rhetorical Questioning

rhetorical questioning 
deliberately thrown 
aimed bellow the belt
meant to hurt 
meant to injure 
meant to wound 
meant to sting
all in the name 
of dramatic affect 
used as a means 
of getting the intended 
point across within 
this play of swings 
in mood upon the 
maladaptive stage 
of this unhealthy 
realm of reality in 
which we
