Wheels within wheels, am locked in a maze
Myriad of floating images block my gaze
The path is clear yet the truth elusive
I seek direct wisdom, not symbols allusive

immense
on the surface,
massive
in depth
yet 
 if   overblown..
malevolent:
a tortuous
      reflex..
..allusive
    as mercury
to grasp:
a threat
      perhaps
if
assembled
and paraded
sans
   modesty...

oh elusive death!
I am biding for your encounter
one feet already in hell fire
my beloved departed in wait on the other side
no bonds to hold me back
delay not my friend beyond the styx
my simple request is no allusive....

As allusive as you are
I’m still crazy about you
I find your heart beautiful
Flowering into my soul
I hope one day you’d see me
And desire my heart to hold
Free, I’d give it all to you
I would unfurl and be yours

Although amateurs are annoyingly apt at aping another’s avocation, 
All artists accord another’s art acceptance, 
As any artwork asks appreciation, 
And after all, all artists are allusive, anyhow.

Hope such an allusive thing
Only the despair that each day brings
Memories of a dignified life
Every day overwhelming strife
Living again for just one more day
Empty eyes see the world as gray
Seeking compassion from their fellow man
Surely each of us needs to do what we can….

Can it not be, are we all destined to err?
Must it occur from time to time?
Is life written out like a poem?
by some tormented, demented
dark lust to find that allusive rhyme 
in the recesses of your mind
from time to time to err or not to err
is human but to find the rhyme is more divine....

I'm Not wordy
I'm worth it 
My cursive 
Encourages  the mind, malnourished 

Enquiring on allusive conclusions
Is not cruel or foolish 
It is
True
The most  infinitive quest of life 
To question and test 
to prove or neglect  
to mourn or adapt
These are the most natural states of being...

Why is accountability so allusive to mankind?
I think that many of us forget, that God is not blind.

There is always an excuse, an easier path to take.
Will our deception anger God, or make his heart break?

Can’t all be forgiven, why must we show disdain?
Practice what you preach, so your work is not in vain.

Trifle the thoughts living on a breeze
hearts darken twist a loving soul
eased down an anchored way
can't you feel the sway

Oh mother, hear my calls
muttered in a muted melody

Pulse, held for dear thee thou
leaving dotted lines, symbiotic
airs of allusive elegance

Imbed out an echo of relief
nether real nor silenced hope 
exchanged, changed, or rearranged
resistant to extinction
slip away, go slip away...

She returns my gaze when I'm too restless to sleep
   a lustrous pearl mounted, deep set in a sapphire sky
I lie awake in my room, papered in spider spun silk
   Slumber is allusive to us tonight; the moon and I

I wonder what thoughts she holds in her heart
   Surely not man's doctrine of trivial pragmatism
Not by the one who rules the tide's ebb and flow
   Her mellow glow is a healing ointment of chrism...

Lofty crafts of sensational creations, 
Oily traits dripping affections
Vulnerable hearts somersaulting
Evisaging allusive hyperbole. 

Damped dance, complex steps
Elating destruction with a breath
Acreage littered with confetti of gloom
Tainted trails, dainty doom
Hood hoisted, deep-six in hell. 

Track embroidered with bramble brier 
Innuendos of choices chunk at men
Mid-way mediator of the turbulent twain
End of love, beginning of death.

Peaceful harmony painted the scene 
Regrets wondered, but a new era seen 
Inside my dreams 
Blending coloured themes 
Into tempestuous reality 
Desire to seize 
Retracing conversations allusive to thee 
Never more to weep 
Visions fiery beams, 
Mouths without screams 
Where silence speaks 
Symbols in peace 
Covering within 
Mending inside 
Running thru the rye 
Love was denied 
As we shifted with the tide 
Beneath the dark blue skies 
Waiting to unwind, 
I leave it all behind......
