She asked if he could pick her up at eight

A language eludes in ancient tongue

A Child Smile Boosting War Will
Death terror stood still,
Looked askance warring evil,
From a pile of ruin
Amidst war’s terrible scene,
A child’s smile when lifted will.

Funeral Home Crasher
Funeral home crasher
observing peoples raw grief
tallies visits up
no one questions her
assume she knew deceased

over four hundred
I am askance and concerned
at her weird hobby...

Inner Alignment
lower and higher minds entwine
resonance preference assigns
going where bliss hues souls ensconce
looking not at love throbs askance
vaporised self becomes divine

A mental void, uncaring stance
Was it greed or was it askance?
Always those that confess
To having the answers,
Yet he fools all of them
The noose his only friend.

what has landed on my head
What has landed on my head? The child asked, askance.
No one replied until a guy named Mr. Fancy Pants.
I believe it is a parakeet, and good luck, so please enjoy.
But I do not like it! Whined the annoyed tiny boy....

State of Stupor
dream illusions rise and subside
though not always, a pleasant ride
sleeping state determines response
whilst waking, how we look askance
our luminous self, veiled inside

There is another world in my dreams
A dream where only I know to walk alone
Beyond control… beyond my means
Yet the altered land belongs the place I call home

Spousal Abuse
He said he would never hit her again
She wanted to believe him of course
Sincere and apologetic
Her children begged her not to
Her parents were askance
She has been killed now
A child sad
Abuse is

What of yesterday be of reminiscence today?
And of dreams to welcome the unknowing
Is there enough words in the voicing to say?

Poetic Freedom
What I venture never to dare say,
Humour lets; and there’s no need to pray:
Readers look not askance
And approve it at once,
And as bonus I have it my way.

At the Gym
I do not check myself out
in full-length mirrors
at the gym.
It's because of Them.
I seldom see a guy pass by
the chance of a glance,
not even askance, but
active admire in scanty attire,
tank top and shorts,
a photo op....

Lover's Waltz
In my dreams of love
we always dance a waltz,
matching steps, eyes in askance.
The answer descretely given.
When the heart is driven,
love must acquiesce.

Another Woman
Break of day,
sitting by my empty bed
in the approaching dawning
I turned my sleep filled head askance,
and saw her out of my widow framed in hers,
another woman silhouetted in the light,
I wept and I wondered, where was my love
again last night....

She wore an orange bikini that showed off her enormous butt.
