seasonable spirit speaks
held by halloween
ghostly gibberish
a disembodied spirit
a spooky séance

Time
Life millstones pressures creation to sort
through essential time, balms the albatross
over seasonable means, paid in court.
A past fraught in qualm, trading ourselves short,
wills the clock face, hands smile--it sates the loss...
life millstones pressures creation to sort,
from the moment that stretches to distort,
spoke present to a fresh reference, toss
over seasonable means, paid in court.
Seconds, minutes, hours ticking by, assort
cleft role of abled spread twinklings as moss.
Life millstones pressures creation to sort
that infinite future's schedule, escort
zealous flashes duly, that run across
over seasonable means, paid in court.
Shapes an hourglass, together, we support
an eternal measured us, reach across.
Life millstones pressures creation to sort
over seasonable means, paid in court.

All in this world are natural,
We the men making differences.
All we love the roses,
Is it only for her glamour ?
Someone love the loftiness,
Is it only for height ?
Someone love the sea,
Is it only for a dive ?
We love opposite sex,
Is it only a seasonable agreement ?
The thorn of roses injure us,
Yet we love her,
Because of her life long celibacy,
Her youth, her grace.
Attraction on height is nothing
But the vastness which is
Much important in a human being
To make himself broad-hearted.
The magnanimous sea attract us
Not only for a dive in her saltish water
But she teaches us to accept all
In this vast world are good or, bad.
The opposite sex is nothing
But we try to find-out our lost love,
The resort, the peace, the serene
In our abridged, very short life.

All Is Well
When my back is against the wall, and the outlet seems so far away,
My troubles seem to follow me, and my joy goes astray,
Through the pain and the suffering, late night tears I'm crying,
I'm insane from all of the lusting, my soul seems to be dying,
My Final wish was unreasonable, but there are no more stars in the sky,
I thought my pain was seasonable, but time will never lie,
The storm will cease, but the ship will have set sail,
Because in heaven I know that all is well.
Her behaviour was exceptionable but exceptional.
She has enormity of inflammable but flammable,
Her feasibility generalize that women is most credible,
Naturally internment, ingenious but usually seasonable.
Prevaricate, masterful and triumphal but confessional,
Intensive to locate liability to decimate flout,
Careable, loveable, a family addicted always in doubt,
Import surcharge, impediment, tortuous, indulgent decisional.
Children and woman why conflicts conscience consignment,
What is consensus, consecutive censure considering?
Conservatism is consequential continuous consistent,
Living is execute and executive, exempt revising.
Nature, God or sophistication who is defendant?
Hell or heaven, what is important living excising?
