All there cast in Stone 
Pompeii a gift to all
they laying down as if sleeping 
Vesuvius aggrieved and granting 
to some a later undeserved mortality...

There was an ardent cowboy named Redd
Who wed a city girl beyond his spread.
They were a good match ’twas believed
Except she was acutely aggrieved
To discover that Redd wore spurs to bed....

A dear heart aggrieved may find it hard to offer reprieve
until the heart that yearns for such mercy sinks to the grave. 
The heart consumed by hate 
may mourn hard but it's already too late.

A boy serves his parents
  He thinks they are God
'Till, coming of age
  He sees them as odd...

The boy, his home leaves
  To a stranger now cleaves
His mother, his father, aggrieved
  -- No matter --
The boy, once again, believes...

Just this once, oh, please! For me?
I promise you it shall be my last
One more won't hurt, I swear you'll see
I think it not too much to ask?

Your doubtful gaze; you disbelieve
That I could ever truly change
My wicked ways, so long aggrieved
You've left me now, our love estranged

And I have but myself to blame-
When I am burned by dying flames...

Afraid and deceived,

... I ran away 

Illusion and delusion, I’d obey.  

 

Before I believed,  

I would yet pray 

To not be lost in this world one day.  

 

My soul aggrieved. 

The truth did weigh 

Seeking audience above the fray.  

 

An angel conceived, 

To show the way 

God found me in your smile that day....

Monsoon set fire in the heart.
At that,persecute your distance.
Song love's heart sings it.
Without your,now it is not possible.
Mind fish,like,aggrieved.
The sense persuaded me to be mad at you.
Your thirst,it increases.
The heartbeat that you call.
Without your,heart does not found someone.
Monsoon set fire in the heart.
At that,persecute your distance....

Here comes Autumn's pallid pall-
It stealthily creeps; it silently crawls
Bringing the air of the Season's despair
(For Misery is Comfort, after all)

The changing of leaves, my Psyche aggrieved!
The Fall in all of its Depression
Alas! The lessening light, the worsening my plight-
My face- a somber expression...

* I suffer from "Seasonal Affective Disorder", hence the reason I wrote this...

There survives a burg, strangled by,

A fume as thick as thieves,

Where soaring glass stalagmites screen,

The adroit aggrieved.

Skyscrapers and broad avenues,

Where vast trains shunt and squall,

Where soaring glass stalagmites screen,

The vestige’s caterwaul.

Where night tide is perennial,

The gargoyles chill and ward,

Aged curves and finials resist,

Thick gnarling walls contort....

He may lie to the whole world;
Rob he may the entire world,
But have you truly noted one
Escaping from his faulty heart?

He may pick a delicate flower,
And create a castle sky high,
But have you seen a man ever
Mending his crumbling heart?

He may win the entire world;
Lords may kiss his velvet feet,
But can he ever, truly heal
His doomed, aggrieved heart?

Alliterative adjectives
Are like poetic additives
That rearrange raw rhythmic rhyme
So sonnets sound more-so sublime.

“Aggrieved aggressors,” “Angry Aunts”
“Outraged oppressors,” “Haunted haunts”
Are all alliterative bits
That prod poor poems into hits.

Consider how this very verse
Without alliteration would be worse.
For con-sequential consonants
Create quaint quotes of consequence....

The day we born the death senstence achieved,
Be merry, be grateful, don’t be aggrieved;
Drink with friends, and dance a merry dance, 
Kiss the girls, kiss the boys, take the chance.

Ignore sadness, ignore grief,
Take loving hearts and be a thief;
For once you die you are dead
Make love on the floor or on the bed.

Beg, steal or borrow don’t be a fool,
Use the gift charm use it as a tool....

A dolorous mournful miasmic hue,
colors all of my closing days blue, 
sweetness of days gone, 
that can't be retrieved, 
has me missing those souls 
whose death left me aggrieved, 
life should be lived with the relish of youth, 
before old age comes and 
confirms cold deaths harsh truth, 
mark clear the note that philosophers chime, 
get busy with life while you still have the time.

Regrets

Antagonisms perceived
Leave us aggrieved
Hearts broken
Tender spirits token

Words miss-read
Actions miss-lead
Clamors in the night
Pleading miss-sight

Sides taken
Lines shaken
Blindness bodes
Heavier loads

Rashness steps
Action’s regrets
Unthinking eyes
When misery cries

Matters adrift
Sieve and sift
Love enduring
Pardons ensuing

Antagonisms perceived
Leave us aggrieved
Hearts broken
Tender spirits token...

A ravaging downpour,
At destruction not pour;
In farms a chainsaw,
Trees punching their core,
On many leaving a sore
All your cries from bare floor!

Muddy water in drains,
Obvious from speeding trains.
My face notes these with pain
But never Evil judges The Rain.
If I be upset “What Gain?”
Still, A loser in the main!

Gathering closer her aggrieved silk, 
A dame starts mourning The Spilling Milk:
A woman whose man is no farmer; 
Lips are rather proclaiming Snake Charmer!...
