thrown back
amidst the liar's ruin
weathered with the reins
wrapped around his hand
pressed on
over dusk flooded fields
should it never lift
and drown the thistle
heard still
phantom hoovesteps pounding
as the drifter accursed
takes flight and is gone...

Dancing with the darkness
Accursed creature of the night
Wearing a mask of humanity
To hide that twisted trickery
Then playing demon music
Pipes wail a beauty's curse
Stealing life and children
From our loving tender kin
Twisted vile changing
Go back to darkened dreaming...

kissing golden sands         
in endless admiration
accursed by the moon

a sweet surrender
caught in stoic web of time
joy reigns eternal

waves hug sand
sweetly serenades 
‘Would you be my valentine?’

The Veil

On decrepit pathways hobbling
Life soul and world a wash of grayscale

Dark wings in shadows sing
By design the spirit to impale

An artist’s palette of black and white
Bright hues in daylight pale

Adrift in oceans of ravens night
Accursed walk beyond the veil

Lolita’s Conceit
 
Obsession defined
Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov
An accursed passion
Love’s true abomination.

Literary allusion
Tintinnabulation
Sounding moral oblivion 
God’s sure condemnation.

" Enchanted by her soft laments was he in lawless wonder; seeking salvation as though they lied accursed in the darkness of appealing madness. 

O such the precarious torments that bordered the divine need of mortal repentance; where upon their kiss, they cared not too depart. "

Through a lightning's gash
By a war-like clash
Nigh blinded! Oh the bedlam!
Then the expulsion
Of something, yond the realms of
Washed up repulsion!

With its dragon's wings
And its bellowings
What flew down our street; over
Rooftops; yours, mine.
Great fear, formed a storm from out.
Greatest accursed sign....

Accursed thing-cravings

Covetousness that prevails

Abiding not in God’s will

Cleaving to self-might

Absence of God’s leadership

Cause my spiritual defeat.*

*2Samuel 17:14  … For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel … to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.

The "Rhymers" guild; archaic faction,
We garner all the more detraction
Less, are we, in our attraction
More, we are, the poetic infraction

When free is verse, a form accursed-
Murders Art, fetch forth a hearse
For they coerced the Poems reverse,
And left our lines inverse- perverse!

*Title is a play off "It's Hard to be a Diamond in a Rhinestone World"...

A thoughtlet rises from the deep,
Tiny companions coalesce as they sleep
Swirl up a storm ever expanding as they surge.
At  surface emerge and with the ether they  merge,
Lost forever as the bubble-wrap when burst.
From the deep to collective banality accursed.

The blinking cursor taunts
I know not what it wants
Alone it sits and pleads
I know not what it needs
And yet.....and yet....
My fingers hover
over a keyboard
Aching....longing
for the touch
of a distant lover
lost
not for words
but for passion
not lust
but fire
The cursor winks
come hither
caress me
whisper to me
to us

A new car is in serious trouble,
Its worried owner worrying his stubble
A helpless heart is on fire
No longer sure The Devil is A liar!

Unmistakable tears of a crier,
At a still far off market, a buyer
And through accursed routes A Trier.

New dreamy wishes of a road drier,
Upset  by his left front tire,
Already in a manacling mire…

Some tomorrow a flying car or car-flyer...

The churches are closed and it’s cold.
Outside on these holly grounds,
The tired and hungry huddle,
Become part of  landscaping, pray.				
	
They are all alone,
Each with their own story,
Telling it to God and anyone else
Not bothered by their circumstance.

Tonight I am one of them,
Shuffling for a place to sleep,
With empty pockets and stomach
Growling at God and religion....

Nor shalt one mortal soul of my tale.telling.
Of my majestic life in the wondrous sea!
Dare not pen of my alluring, mystical fate
Elst,the painful curse of Neptune befall thee.

Your accursed human verse, hardly divine!
Find you then,earthly matters and rage on!
Human,you fathom not sea matters sublime.
Author thee, the beautiful,to dwell upon.

Love me tender, love me strong. 
Love me with wine and song
On a hillside all the day long. 
Love me with a joke or two
With stories of people you knew. 
Love me until night releases you. 
Confide in me all that you fear. 
Whisper words as you draw near
Words you know I long to hear. 
Death, that sting, be accursed!
Love me for what life is worth
And know that I loved you first....

I DESIRE AND DREAM

AND EVERY  CORNER OF MY HEART

EXPLORES YOUR LONELY WORLD..

I SEE YOUR HIDDEN TEARS

TRANSCENDING MY EYES..

THEY MELT LIKE ICEBERGS.

THIS LIFE IS FUTILE

IF WORDS DON’T REACH ME

AND EVERY MOMENT IS ACCURSED

TIME IS ALWAYS CALLOUS

FOR THOSE WITH A GOLDEN HEART…

BUT MY ARMS WILL REACH YOU 

BEFORE THE SUNSET OF MY LIFE..

I HACK YOU IN MY DREAMS FOREVER…...

Toxic serpentine bite 
Wicked tis vile appetite
Eyes malignant heat
Spew malicious deceit

Warriors cast to stone
Charity ne’ver condone
Coils of slithers amass
Malevolence came to pass

Cold tis heart despised
Sculptures highly prized
Stoic beauty, pillars of salt
Lest ye stare no blame to fault

Accursed to damn or quell
Apathy for virtues expel
Trespass sanctum if dared
Mercy tis utterly spared....

To the melody of 
"Cara Mia," by
Jay & the Americans
c. 1965

Corona virus, Why
Don't you say goodbye
Each time you infect
A life you do wreck

You're just an ugly bug
You halt us when we hug
Our graves you've dug
You're creepy and smug

Here's my final word
You accursed nerd
Hitch yourself to a bird
Fly away... away... Goodbye!

(Chorus):
COVID 19, Why
COVID 19, Why
COVID 19, Why
Goodbye ~ GOODBYE!...

Poetic Terrorist- flagrant Errorist!
While all I write feels meritless
And all I do seems perilous!
Chalk it up to being careless...

My Heart, my Mind- about to burst!
Born, was I, a Soul accursed...
A million wounds I have nursed
Still I feel always the worse

Send helicopters full of doctors-
Tell me, what is their diagnosis?
Oh! the Tests conclude I'm awkward!
(What a bleak and poor prognosis!)

*Old experimental piece...
