That is a lie.
We just become accustomed to the pain....

Accustomed to doing as bade
Now she is with child
The wife has gone wild,
"Thats not how a maid should be paid!"...

Blooms, green, warmth was its greeting

Left in flurry winter cheating
Gladden Daffodils bloomed treating...

life is full of waiting

waiting for moments to begin
waiting for moments to end

waiting in the mouth of the beast
growing accustomed to its teeth
and fearing the belly...

No Poems Lately

I have not written any poems lately.
Which, would have been done greatly, 
Read through,;
Accustomed to, 
That probably ended up so sedately.

adore escapism, douse in self-pity, darkness;-sorrow...

There are people who are 
       accustomed to lie so vitally
       as the air they breathe ...
       They can't stand truth ...
       That for them is the same as
       if it were carbon dioxide ...!...

I 
predictably
made you accustomed
to my love
with daily and intense doses
of passion, enchantment
beauty and magical chaos
so 
one day
I could kill you 
like an addict dies;

in pain.

accustomed to struggling and striving
we know not what is non-volition 
so sink in quicksands of mind
(with which we so identify
soul’s eternal presence) 
where we languish
lost in dreams
hypnotised

accustomed to duality
we feel disconcerted
when in singularity 
attributes disappear 
and ego identity perishes

our resistance is the veil
we’re the tormentor
as also the prisoner
in this lucid dream

Duty with love is perpetual			
                                    Under compulsion it's artificial			
                             Duty is duty, anyway we must perform			
                                         bounds to be accustomed...

In time my senses came to terms 
With such medieval justice,
And found the hole they cast me in 
Accustomed to my taste.
I’d made myself a tidy home, 
Proclaimed myself Augustus.
Content within my realm of stone,  
All memories erased....

You call me weird eccentric odd too different 
still I am me
colors are constant through seasons
no one can repaint this scene
the panorama of glamour
you see will forever be
so please take this here instruction
and get accustomed to me....

I dreamed I was in a strange place 
Near no accustomed kin 
With nailed boards across my face 

I am the beast of the land 

With fire that froze my hands
And water that burnt my skin
My lost soul lays in bands

I am the beast of the land

became 
accustomed 
to the habit 
of shrugging 
off arguments 
brought about 
by emotional 
outbursts 
since everything 
would always 
seem to blow over 
in time eventually 
till one day it 
did not blow over 
instead it was over 
we were over this 
time for real...

Many would judge 
Jerry an old man, 
not accustomed 
to the idea of course. 

He keeps 
old songs in his head, 
about new streets, 
meeting strangers. 

It never quite wore 
away from his 
belief-hopes in 
magic amour carrying him 
to new warm shores 
and thrills from pretty fingers....

Different than what 
I have become accustomed to
Not the same at all 
Not at all what I was expecting
Jumped head first into a new world
One much different then 
The one I had been living in
So far so good 
Only time will tell
Keep my fingers crossed
That it will continue well...

Follow me I'm accustomed to eternal beauty; 
Come with me as I walk into the lands;
As I'm wearing the wings,
surrounding my head;
 I will fly away;
One day;
~ now I'll fly away, 
In awe onto the fullness,
 of my Lord, My God;

There is a hum to morning
an accustomed to whirr
softly grinding gears
electrical whispers
gentle creaking of awakening wood
satisfied exhale
of a still slumbering dog
purr of a sun warmed cat.
I lie still and listen
to this too often unheard
Symphony.

We get so accustomed to everything that surrounds us
We begin to call familair faces friends and familair objects home
Our true home lies within our hearts
Leaving means giving up all that has become familair and comfortable
Pain comes from knowing rebuilding lies ahead and saying goodbye....

Is sanity a gift or foe? 
I wonder at its campaign 
To inflict confusion. 
Maybe madness is my friend.
Will it block the pain 
And edge out the fear,  
Yet crush the inevitable 
Normality enemy? 
Accustomed to intense 
It holds me in its stare 
Grips me in its wilderness 
And yet I feel safe....

Our linguistic limbs sulk as the
dreary day progresses.
It begs and aches for more pain
for it's grown accustomed.
The longing and desire that lingers
within the blood pulsating
As each day marches forth,
A feeling of hate submerges and
dominates the emotion sulking
back
Toward the dark core we now possess....
