Never once laughed, she only snorted

Trump cursed the GOP
"Why wasn't that woman aborted?"...

a faceless evil aborted
before its heart could start beating,
before its eyes could grow in.
Of course I would hide it away!...

If there was no poetry
Where all the muses would have gone
Aborted in the harsh depth of eternity
Imagination would have remained unborn.

Moments shared.

Flawed by design.

Now just memories.

Scattered across time.

Fleeting recalls.

Renewed disdain.

Karma aborted love.

For our past due pain....

shaking hands with the invisible man
while "knees" just cackled and snorted
as the border was aborted
the Easter bunny took total command...

Much danger and darkness courted;
What I could do is have it thwarted;
Never love;
Get rid of,
Or transported away and be aborted.

go back to your mother’s womb
if you live for nothing
apply to be aborted
if you live for others
planet earth is your empire
you are not here to joke...

A place so big, they'd never seen, 
A place for the small, that they'd never had been.

The older I get,
  the more distant they seem

The past and the future,
  reality’s dream

The older I get,

The cry of the dead
  the wail of those gone
unheeded by the uncaring living
  who dully carry on

Are their pleas any different
  from the screams of those unborn
aborted by the uncaring living
  who dully carry on...

The older I get
  the closer it seems

The past from the future
  what’s real, to my dreams

The older I get
  the deeper it feels

Distraction aborted
  —all distance revealed

with each passing train 
the house trembles 
aborted dreams

strangers in the night
the creaking floorboards
she cheats on him

wafts of warm
spiced paratha bread
her aroma lingers

with fruitfulness of children.

through troubled thoughts for Adam mind,

America, land of the free,
riches and opportunity, 
abound from sea to shining sea,
dreams become reality.

everyone that is…except me,

Low and lonely, but not to succumb
Through warring thoughts a pitfall deep
Ireful, rueful, contort
This speaker’s blunder deemed

Subdued with met solution
Devil’s plot decayed
Ruinous intent aborted 
Blithe courage keenly resumed...

She is a spinster
Seventy years of age
and still going strong.

When asked why 
she never married,
She whispered an answer:
“Somewhere in the land
I will never know
my husband was aborted
at the very hour and minute
I was born.”...

distance, distant
trinket, shrinking

figment, thinking
spirit,  stigma

instant, vision
wilting, listen


bidden, dripping
infant, sickness
 
pregnant, stringent
silent, client
