Cutting through the chase towards this cause a means unto, it's end....
Bypassing poetics terms twas, never about verse; no, not ever her world ?

I'll take his walks
But not his ways.
Rugged for each, rung through
Old woodsman's days.

I'll track what cries
For peace, hawk-climbed
In that soothing, stream-breathed
Mountainy thymed.

While bypassing
Unnerved by, mourned
Legends echo, in both felled
Branched grandeur; horned....

We're all brothers
and sisters
in life and death
the common
bonds of humanity
We may harp
on our differences
do various 
sorts of things
because of misconceptions
But there's
no denying
that we
must all experience
life in
all it's forms
and the
ultimate equalizer - - -
Death
There's no 
bypassing this
It's inevitable....

Listen to poem:

a buffer between the you and the me
the constant mediator chaperoning

criticizing with its glare and pursed lips
negating the realm of possibilities

as it downplays the fragranced essence of hinting
opting to zero in on the desolation of nothingness

and that buffer between you and me
only grows stronger and louder

They come and go the same as lovers play.
With no clear rhyme or reason, truly stray.

Up to bat for both the good and the bad.
Knowing that what you have is what was had.

So, sit it in silence or have your say. 
It’s clear that most will surely slip away.

More frequent than the latest social fad. 
Life's intersections cross within a plaid.

Steadily bypassing of all delay.
You had your chance; there’s nothing more to say?...

A foul odor seeps into the nostrils
bypassing the standard sensory process
And darting straight for the brain
It elicits the memories
that once thought to be extinguished
Bringing former passions to the forefront of a hesitant mind 
A mind that is weary, ravaged by time  
and ill-equipped to absorb such recollection 


Unable to suppress the torment
that accompanies excruciating reminders 
The tortured mind bleeds out
and the body falls to the ground...

life imitates,
the river imitates
life...
life is all
movement,
the river is turbulent,
sometimes life
is backwater,
the river sometimes
stops...
life hides
your feelings
in the depths
of the spirit,
the river its secrets
in the depths
from your bed...
Life and the river,
always follow
in front of...
pioneering
borders,
bypassing
obstacles,
seeking out
horizons.
just stop forward
in blue infinity:
The river, the blue of the sea,
life the blue sky...!...
