to assuage our guilt

Escape less an option

We’re living in a high tech age 
Of megahertz and gigabytes,
But still can’t manage to assuage
The itch of tick and chigger bites....

time
assuage
broken hearts-
and ignite
passion
once
more
or
will
despair
overwhelm
forever,
stifling-
love's
flame...

Water's mood of assuage
Emulates merely
The beauties of today

But, with waves which ripple
Throughout the seas
Offers lives with invigoration of change...

Along came a fine feline named Morris, 
Lured by lilt of lascivious chorus; 
He crouched inside the cage, 
Appetite to assuage - 
Patiently he purports to ignore us....

Literal is not,

the fake climb is aunt,

and a stake in the attrition not an alimony as you can see clearly in me...I do not assuage an empire-

I follow in the most economical exigencies,

as one is up, another is down my friend....

He wandered in the wilderness
from enemies, to save his life.
Prostrate, he cried out to confess
his sins and pled for end of strife.
Though lonely, he knew God was near
to shield him and assuage his fear.

Soft and round,
stuffed with cotton,
Muffles my giggles,
Suppresses my sobs.
Buries my feelings,
Carries my throbs.
You feel my heartbeat.
You swallow my tears.
I fill you whole 
with all my fears
You assuage my bellows
my dear pillow.......

The sifting sunlight
taunts the sea.
Its meager light plays tricks.
Those crooked rays of shadows fade
behind some distant mountain, 
but I, beneath the shrinking sun, 
take pleasure in dark skies;
as long-awaited clouds rise up
to assuage my love for rain....

A rasping pain persists in my aching knees
Nothing brings relief, despite my pleas,
Salves and creams I’ve tried won’t assuage
Arthritis persists – it’s the bane of old age,
If you know what works, oh, tell me please.

Finger tips gently
caress sensitive skin
reddened with tears.

Declarations spoken
freely to assuage the
drum beats of the heart.

Lips sweeping across
the sweated brow
refreshing timid voices.

Limbs gracefully entwined
clinging with fondness
to the center of life....

The wind stroking my eyebrows
As I try to assuage my sorrows
The guilts of my past 
Lie await in my path

My yesterday has become an assassin
That exterminates the enthusiasm of my tomorrow 
My today whiffs with the redolence of sin
As all my drives are engulfed in sorrow

Moonbeams fade from the depths of night
giving way to dawn's rays of light
Sunrise dries morning's tears of dew
but not mine of sorrow and grief
I search for comfort and relief
Solace in glints of life anew
Each day provides an empty page
where hope is a balm to assuage
and skies a lovely hue of blue...

.                           Waterspout
                         Majestic, powerful
                    Twisting, churning, dipping
              Tornado, whirlwind, stillness, peace
                 Resting, soothing, allaying
                       Tranquil, assuage
                                 Calm...

Amid dark despair
And the deepest fear
Hope is always there
A voice we can hear
With the inner ear

Heed its message
It will assuage
The despair stage
And give courage

Take action
And move on
With caution

To cope
Don't mope

HOPE!

At last, the darkest depths of night
gave way to the dawning of light.
As sunrise dries moist drops of dew
it fades away the tears of grief.
A welcome respite and relief,
solace in glints of life anew.
Each golden dawn, an empty page
on which hope can soothe and assuage
when warm sun rays come shining through....

A plane devoid of noises
Within a darkened cave
No words of consolation
Assuage the rants and raves

Awareness unattended
Has obfuscated will
But fluid through the fingers
Puts ink into the quill

She roars across forever
Four corners of the earth
The Alabama legend
Has made their voices heard...

The River Charles

Brackishly
she leaves, yet still remains,
motionless in movements rhapsody

timeless witness to a revolutions birthing
a tender refuge in the heart of city life.

Water to assuage new freedoms fire
esplanade, overtures
The River Charles

Six children alive and sired
Fathering three and tired
The other three reject me
A traitor in me, they see

Married once; now again
My sanity to regain
At what cost to the kingdom
My rejection of martyrdom 

The natural man waxes and wanes
The spiritual man rises to higher planes
I asked for as many as the stars
To assuage my emotional scars...

An immense ocean of grief life is

Where fierce storms of agony rage

Constantly battering our soul's ship

Without letting our pain assuage!

Absolve us all of anguish
 When appetency goes awry 
The allure of the atrocious 
Can take precedence over the auspicious.
Nought can assuage the anxiety  of  abomination 
Flowing from such appetites
Ancillary to our basest desires.
Saying amen leaves us 
Aghast at our arrogance
Adding to our aggravation
Acquittal comes from abstinence 
And not from avarice....

Sulphurous moments, shadowed
beneath natures natural defences 
Tenderly swaying, the coconut palm 
leaves transmute devising my fan blades
Refrigerant elegance appreciated greatly 
chilled iridescent cocktails assuage  
My acousma heightens as the waves lash 
such a lovely sound, to woolgather
To think about your next write, possibly 
let us face it, we all do it x...

God must have smiled, when there so high
He hung a rainbow in the sky,
To reassure, assuage our fears.
We’ve been so blessed for all these years
With God’s own sign that he still cares,
And he oversees this earth’s affairs.
So when you see the storm clouds brew,
Remember God’s dear oath to you.
He’s sending love in sweet accord
With assurance that he keeps his word....
