Short Abhorring Poems

It’s paining, it’s boring
The children are all snoring
They got out of bed
To school they did head
The teaching they find abhorring...

Truth
not a dictum
of majority

Credence
more pointed
abhorring a crowd

Its tenets
relentless
called from its slumber

To censor
the many
— its voice zero sum

Above all the life's traits
Ambition tops the list
asserting one's will to
acquire a secured place,
Aiming high for the stars
albeit down to earth
abhorring vanity.

Loved
 tender, passionate
 wanting, panting, joining
 friendship, pal, foe, enemies
 hurting, harming, abhorring
 dis-likable, detestable
 Hated

  veiled by a shroud of mourning, 
                    lost outside a mask of woe-
    I seek abhorring moments, 
            disguised by joy, a rough smile-
            concealed by a handmade cloak, 
       obscurity is a sheath...
                      until I feel love’s blanket.

The sugar-tipped touch of desire
Meets every abhorring soul at one point in time
Mine hits,
It knocks me to the curb and leaves me bloodied
With signs of fresh exposed flesh
In agony and devout angst 
I rise
All I can see is hazel-
Your eyes,
The subtle fluff of your hair
Your preciously treasured grin
Remains with me
As we continue on our merry way
Only the street can feel my heartbeat beneath my feet....

Ever moving
The migration by wind and water
As the sands shift with time
Changing the face
The feel
The look.
As sea laps, wind blows
Longshore drift

Ever moving sands
Passing us by
Marking time
Ever soft and smooth
Nature abhorring a vacuum
Growth and life
Migrating
Evolving
Flourish and wilt
Flower and dieback.
Fixed to an ever-moving
Ever changing due. Clinging to the lip of the sea....

Eurynome's great joy,
     the Graces of her womb,
     whose names transcend the tomb
like Helen's, famed of Troy!
Ah! Graces all enjoy:
     they fill earth's space and room,
     abhorring away life's gloom,
before the fates destroy.

If mankind survives, spring
     reflects the sun's hot disc,
a brilliant fire breathing,
     a dragon basilisk;
which these three Graces, being
     Eurynome's, might risk!?
