His heart walked out the door
it couldn’t take any more
of the affliction.
His fickle addiction
to love, or was it war?
Beneath,
Moving higher,
Upset and distressed now,
Lapsed into disturbed sleep or grief,
Afflicted with uneasiness for you.
Your soul stained
You set fire to the rain
Hate floods your veins
It’s your diction
It’s your affliction
It’s your addiction
There is no lengthy night
that prevents the day from rising...
there is no affliction that
be everlasting...!
They were conflicted.
About my affliction.
There is no cure, they decided.
But a remedy.
That they will inflict upon me.
There's an affliction among many people that truly drives me insane.
It's known as diarrhea of the mouth with constipation of the brain.
By and by,
Tis the fate believers buy.
That when they sin hallow,
Then affliction will them swallow.
c,2017
inspired by Gorge Herbert.
Twitter is an addiction
A serious affliction
Like heroin, meth, or crack
With this monkey on one's back
Lost between fact and fiction
serious vagueness to choppy doubt ,
always an affliction .
prolonged this will burden !

Born in the heart of the insecure
of him who finds in baubles allure
A grave affliction, difficult to cure
Consumed by Jealousy, one must abjure
Frequency of heart beat high
Extreme unexpectation apparent without a sigh
Affliction by an unseen trauma
Recurring in the mind is this non-existing failure tumor.
My bones corrode
From the acidity of your endearment.
Stay away.
Keep your distance.
I am already decaying
From the affliction
Of all the tenderness I carry
For you.
Hurt people hurt people
“You’re my love and my addiction”
Hurt people hurt people
“So please don’t give me your affliction”
When his wife caught her spouse fooling around
he claimed a medical reason sound:
I have an affliction—
A hot chick addiction!
Now he’s cured—six feet under ground

I feel
this affliction
blood flows
without end
through darkened
poison veins
long suffering
at last
hope nears
if only
to touch
that hem
just once
may I
live stricken
no more

In Honor of Dane Ann
And contest
Ludwig van Beethoven
raised music to realm of art with heart’s rhythm interwoven.
Despite failed romance and stressful hearing affliction
composed fervent music of dexterous perfection.
Tanka
It is amazing
How many things happen
In a tiny village
When you have time to see
How busy quietness is
Senryu
Illness of boredom
A sedentary affliction
Lack of imagination
Everything that seems is not what it seems,
But is an affliction to caress and subdue your frail mind,
With the illusion of peace, and salvation, in reality it is paved into a sinner’s oblivion.
Ludwig van Beethoven
raised music to summit of art with heart’s rhythm interwoven.
Despite failed romance and stressful hearing affliction
composed mesmeric melody of dexterous perfection.
Didn't realize how bad his affliction was
His train left the station, he's got too many flaws
He sure ain't a smartie
His aura is faulty
As well he's probably broken every damn law
V-ie with others for the trophy,
I-n the friendly competition;
M-ake it through the fire,
A-s life is fraught with affliction.
