appalling altercations
apt… apparitions
alluding… appertaining
annihilation achieved...

parakeet flashing
pigeon perch precarious
windy Acton trees

We're the most intelligent species

Solely by our own admissions

So why do we continue making

Such apocalyptic decisions...

The way is not seen
The blinding lights are heavy
Covering my eyes 
Long lines of saints and sinners
This world is nearing an end...

Apocalyptic approach,
a way for getting nothing.
Altruistic endeavors
means more fruit for the hungry.
Which avenue do we take?
Who, today, do we think of?
The choice is forever ours....

the news breaks
the world breaks down
the sky screams savagely
the war dogs maul mercilessly
the raging rubble bounces bitterly 
the apocalyptic horses gallop giddily
the rotten roof caves in catastrophically...

Apocalyptic breaches 
can destroy eternity; 
for glorious heights 
indulge jumping 
knowledge; Limitations 
may never over power 
quarantined rights, 
seperate toxins, unite 
volcanoes' windows 
exploding years. Zap!...

signal of approaching cataclysm?
we can't see the gauntlet
it's past the cunning poison
a villain of his own timeline

piqued by an illiquid New Moon
Level 2 risk for severe stratagems
Earth braces for an apocalyptic slap
this time it could break...

Earths red crust shudders
Skyline crackles purple forks
Famine feet flurry

My willow tree scorched
Lunar eclipse eternal
Barefoot beach walk dream

Volcanic ash views
A black season treelines crunch
Whimpered solo bark

Stagnant water tea
Pungent roots and herbs galore
Humanless abyss...

After the riot-
with chairman Wuhan swirling around his head
president Trump, with bible in hand,
strolled from the embattled white house
toward a smoldering church
quoted some apocalyptic verse
then cussed out the press...
For the first time in seventeen years
the cicadas are snickering-...

                          Broke dumpster fire in Los Angeles !
                          Burnt vigorous Pacific Palisades.
                                         Apocalyptic !
                                         Weird ! Catastrophic !
                        Wild fire or something else ! Can you guess  ?...

running down the aisle way, a-giggling
streams of paper white, a-streaming
an apocalyptic wriggle, shelves emptying
toddlers buy their wine and away their going
unexpected per-usuality of a pandemic outing
per chance my husband’s found this greeting
the sun has set on 2020, yet the panic’s continuing...

It Was Apocalyptic for those mountain folk...
A quarter million pristine acres crisped.
Dozens of homes destroyed by Hade's blow.

Everyone gushed about a bible. 
That came through the inferno untouched.
Stranger still, some called it a miracle.
Despite a dozen people being burned alive...
Where was their miracle?...

the nuclear snakes
   slither into disaster
warheads waiting 
   in the dithering wings

~~~!~~~X~~~#~~~>>>

light explodes
darkness erupts
fiery projectiles 
  obliterate without mercy

<<<~~~#~~~X~~~!~~~

the reptilian warlords
  fumble through flames
apocalypse waiting
  amid withering declarations...

Sweet apocalyptic frailty
seeps from weary sighs

Punctuated words we love
or love-words we despise

Body-rocking self-hatred
that drags us from the light

Idealism, perfection
thieves that rape us in the night

Car wrecks and too much sex
things that make us feel

taint of success, abject failure
things that make us real...

Love was born
An instinct inborn
Love took its first step
An invasion of sense
Love was real
An emotion to feel
Love was a belief
An armament for relief

Love became a fallacy
An imprint of fantasy
Love turned into melancholy
An output of jealousy
Love became hate
An apocalyptic fate
Love became extinct
In my heart’s precinct...

Rapturistic and apocalyptic
Slowly, rhythmically I cried
The end of the world was here
I couldn't breathe, I tried


I knew you wouldn't come 
I doubted you
Like sulfuric air, it choked me 
There was nothing I could do


Pleaded, screamed, begged 
Clawed at my heart for an escape
Aching and tormented
Is there recovery after rape?...

Immortality upon coming of the phoenix reign,
Presence foretold, taking up the battle to send,
Turmoil and insurrection driving insane,
Mortals into a redirected sense to defend,
Liberty and justice suspending the vain,
Vigor of the peaceful people to lend,
Apocalyptic rumors driving the disdain,
Inside all the victims, that faith will tend....

BROKEN TELESCOPE

Hung
from mouth
hitched to
Heaven by
this sleek steel 
blade bungee
jumping
over rooftops
apocalyptic
vapors of gas
fizzle and 
spout



Hung
broken 
telescope
stars have fallen 
from dark sky
floored
they lay where
I have no doubt
one by one they
will flicker
out

Pitch Dark Rain: Apocalyptic

vanished polar ice
oceans’ currents all askew. . . .
skylines blaze scarlet

comes a scathing wind
scorching land left not immersed. . . .
waters turn crimson

moans escape parched tongues
prayers ascend to ashen skies. . . .
pitch-dark rain pounds down


For Royal Ninja's Crimson Poetry Contest...

The sound of the trumpet rallys on
The composition of the skies was blur
Every shallow wind shifted soon the sky's turned

The trumpet sound
Rains armies of angels on white stallions
Descending at the head of them Jesus

Apocalyptic
Past the storm past the sword
Rapture dawn

The mess you made, was 
apocalyptic. 
How the debris streaks 
like a fireball.

The blood becomes 
a sheer truth. 
Moist, sticky on 
your hands.

Up in your sleeves 
the past hed planted 
many wrecks, 
You will not be able to retrieve.

The burnt-out roses 
emit a beautiful odour. 
The phoenix rises again 
from the colored ash.

the underground tunnels that capture small intervals of light the shadowy passages that wind over lost crumbs of significance you chose this dark direction under wraps with each hidden layer of apocalyptic wonder do you really know what lies ahead in every labyrinth that the psyche endures druids walk up and down the walls of time with only one wish   to see clearly....
