Your absence,
A howling silence,
That
Amplifies the feeling of 
your loss
In my aching

Voice inside amplifies pain
World hears silent screams.

stretch artist, A. Modigliani amplifies
sketching curvilinear bodies, weak eyes 
his far-fetching figures still mystify us
despite his premature death to meningitis.

Thoughts
Trapped
Inside
Behind bars
Scales tipped unbalanced
Lack of harmony breeds this chord
Caged word's rhythmic pounding amplifies a deep, dark funk
Deliverance awaits, the blues scribbled into wall graffiti, notes penned behind bars...

On the shiny platform
I hold a microphone
raising it higher
the ground trembles in thrill
power slowly amplifies
fireworks from behind burst upward
enthusiasm overwhelms the room
the candle of joy
shall blaze for a while
before it burns out...

Captive of the heart
You are a willing prisoner
You fain the life, a poet's soul
And bristle when love, like writers block
Amplifies the anguish
And tolerates your impotence
Above all, time is not a comfort
It ticks down louder and slower
Until time stops and stills it's beat...

stress is self made
stress is self inflicted
stress is a byproduct of ones confession
stress is a byproduct of ones confusion
stress amplifies ones inabilities 
stress exemplifies ones chaos
stress can only help those with no hope
stress can only hurt those with dreams fulfilled...

What seems dull by day
  Flashes peril by night
Sparks far away
  A trembling fright

The rustling of trees
  Noontide's gentle wind
On nighttime's breeze
  Nearly do me in

Night's shadow amplifies
  What bright days minimize
Pitch-black terror underlies
  The scream of the Evil Eye...

Pitter patter raindrops are slapping 
The windows pelting at the glass
Like chipped bone hacked and splintered
Wind whipped and catapulted 
The wood of the house dulls the sound
But the glass twinpained amplifies
The droplets Pitter Patter, Patter,Pitter
An unnatural sound to disturb sleep...

Sitting with a lap full of tears
Asking the air for help
The blubbering sobs that scrimp and save for recognition
Help me please 
but the nothingness holds its breadth
twisting my agony 
in its tortured game of hide and never find
Somebody please help me
but the silence amplifies my fear
Alone...

I want to go where the land
Is boundless, where the wheat
corn and flower cane grow,

where the soft white downy
of cotton amplifies in big fields,
and bed my body and soul on
the waves of cotton balls,

and in natural surrender my 
élan vital to feel the virginal of cosmos 
descending for once in age.....

Wrecks homes and family disaggregates
Annihilates lives and dreams stalks
Ruins souls and number of orphans aggrandizes


Promotes stability and quietude installs
Enhances joy and anxiety abolishes 
Amplifies wishes and creation procreates
Corroborates love and hush authenticates
Epitomizes harmony and cooperation eases....

The rain is pounding on the roof,
it makes a rhythmic din,
the metal amplifies the sound,
but won’t let it come in.
A lot of folks hate this weather,
I can’t blame them for that,
but for some reason this dull noise
feels relaxing and glad,
especially when I’m in bed,
drift in and out of sleep,
deep, fleeting satisfaction that
there is no way to keep…...

I’m unbothered by cold within you,
comforted and calm in a stark light;
Jet-fueled by that taste of clarity,
the knowledge you remain in control.

My soul amplifies crystalline blue,
maniacal grin that shines so bright;
Called to your sure personality,
I’ll follow you down a rabbit hole.

Your ice brings out the fire within me,
feeding my angst just like rock and roll....

A shout into the void, like a whispered wish,
amplifies the loneliness that dwells within.
And like the feigned beauty of a lionfish,
lust can lure the uninitiated in.

Like an emotional roller coaster ride,
love can be frustrating; count the tears you've cried.
And in those moments, you fight the urge to scream,
for life feels more like a nightmare than a dream....

Lost inside of a sexy playlist,
made out with a one hit wonder boy;
Vintage crooning with a virgin twist;

Record for an intimate convoy,
the first track behind a one night stand;
I relented and became your toy;

Undercover art of reprimand
amplifies the volume in the air;
He jammed alone never with a band;

Just one hit with emotions laid bare,
hit replay step back in that affair....

All Ways, Always

Bestow love; begin the beauty.
Cheerfully cherish; live charming.
Happy hearts grant heavenly hopes.
Let loveliness lead new lifestyles.
Hold honesty in your thoughts.
Merrily make marvelous days.
Determine to adorn delight.
Admiration aimed amplifies.
And affection accentuates.
Approach life tenderly, all ways.

Fantastically fickle
Rarely enduring -- ever ephemeral,
Adamantly flexible and footloose
Gregarious, vivacious and effervescent
Irresistible, insuppressible and indestructible, 
Love is all that and more…
Ever needed, ever elusive;

Homing in on fragile hearts, love
Erupts into a rousing passion and
Amplifies raw emotions
Rallying those faint at heart
To overcome an insurmountable
Sisyphean task.

You left us

For 

A better world they told me,

Victims to Covid-19 

And

Since that moment, your absence, 

A howling silence has become

That

With the passing of time,

Amplifies the grief for your loss 

In my bleeding

Heart.*

Said their Voices from the Graves.

Listen!

As death amplifies the frequency of remembrance

you delve into your faith,

your mind searches for God

and answers.

Unify your sincerity,

and let your questions be herd.

Together!

yours are the voices that will rise

and resonate,

the justice that will adhere,

the love that will mend,

and the prayers that will bring change..

Surely!

God is aware

and you are His proxies.
