Same roots, thirds, augmented fifths...

Angst acutely augmented all crowding
Aligned to semisubmersible state
Safely seeking solitary succour
Propitious perfect proposal provokes
Reckoned rated Racoon River Retreat
Lay luxuriating lodge location
So surrounded, solitude saturates

Intentionally deceived by those that augmented dubiously.
An Innocence killed by lies that seemed real.
Now, what a heart should feel is controlled by strength of will.
Entombed down deep inside a garnet red does hide.
Tossed away, you lost, I'm afraid....

After grueling sessions of
 
Guitar Hero 3,
 
I would often look to the mirror
 
to my right
 
and marvel at how
 
my vision was affected by the game,
 
with the mirror becoming twisted
 
and augmented,
 
slithering across the wall in my living room....

I tasted it, I spit it out
I tasted it, didn’t like
I tasted it yet didn’t inhale
Most of it vaped, yet to no a vale
I touch it, it was hot
I touch it, it was not
Hardly tangible
Yet not augmented able YUCK!
Taste like bitter sweet defeat to me YUM!

Can you smell flowers on a sunny day?  The wolf can speak into my mind. hurry to the island above the ocean twilight. The twin gypsies sing to the green blind one she can never be escaped from she will find you in the corner of the shadow. Looking at the wall and the green orbs will appear and burn through the curtains and walls shuddering with an augmented hunger hunting those who run away....

They gather ‘round it
All the young’uns
Brandishing augmented timber
With rusted pointy steel at the tip.
Impending over their prey,
Smiling, laughing,
No blindfold required.
The heart-shaped piñata
Still, silent, almost breathing;
Ready for the punishment to come:
The ravenous embrace.
The digging of sharp metal
And splinters spliced within.
Lusting over
The soon to be bled sweets.
Pounding mercilessly and forever....

eerie aura augmented
felon feature fermented
cremating callous contractions
drooling drips punctured
hoity relief reeled
vying voluptuous acme

tainted tongue trained'n
decking damped trail
fostered feelings feign

porous pulchritude birthed
crisp conception pivoted
mystic smirk aided

syntactic silhouette seeped'n
seductive syllables' creed.

Sea Minuet

Prima donna restless surf
Dance on shoreline turf
Crash to augmented beat
Trip light fantastical fleet

Pirouette high and low
Gracefully curtsy, as you go
Effervescent tutu foam
Crisscross silt return home

Sea of melodious minuet
Garner stars in silhouette
Highest regards to deep blue
 Keen tis moon to ensue

Reflections of stars on glass
Shimmer at ballerina pass
Chaotic tis waters rebuff
Beauty tis never enough...

Telling Lies 

Make your words worthy of speech
Your knowledge credible to teach
Understanding of what it implies 
When you are telling lies

Your dialogue impeccable by design
Augmented by your thoughts divine 
Looking deep within someone’s eyes
Sympathetic effect of telling lies

Perceptive to what lies may portray
Evolving to where truth goes astray
The legitimacy you no longer recognize 
When you’re deeply entrenched in telling lies...

Machiavellian schemes besmirch a murky mangrove calm
A propeller breaks the tranquil glass over an underwater farm
Neath the broken still, a peaceful giant stirs with alarm
and no consolation is found as noise churns it's quiet charm

The serene spots need to be augmented for they are our balm
Ecosystems need protection from greedy developers’ harm
Empyrean Earth for all, is in our active palms, giving alms…

natures way
Pains relieved through
Nature’s ways

morning wake’s to flowers blooming
Spirits wane as waters flow
Hearts desires restored

Through the surging crowds
Its fears tormented fade away
Light of day pierce the skies
Seekers chants defies the night

Augmented anguish
Flames ascend 
Buried breath tides resend
When silence stills
To all life’s surging

Comes to feel the pains of joys 
Of our existence within
The spaces of life’s circles...

Sheathed in unfamiliar undulating curves
Likened to white marble maidens
Once a graceful willowy frame, wistful memory serves
Augmented by fruitful years and plump babies laden

This heart and mind deceived by time
And all that I have collected
My evolution into this voluptuous frame sublime
Youthful archetype of attraction neglected

Yet this mantle that encases 
Does not define or symbolize
For my reflection in my children’s faces
Is the only mirror I realize....
