once countered measures
prior based methodologies
tabala Maya breath...

Unseen days without you cause me angst
Completeness countered with sharp pangs

I once had a butler so dapper
He had but a slight stutter
On the grounds we once walked
To find treasure of sorts
Wh.. wh.. he stuttered
I know I countered
Then why'd you step on it
He questioned...

Out the door
is a vicious game
a process

battle of spite
tug of war
circus of irritation

where nobody loses
no one wins
a bloody senseless draw

no referee
only stiff jabs
right crosses

haymakers
countered by blow
after blow
       
low......

Find the comedy in the drama
And laugh instead of  cry
For every darkness there is light
And to every low there is a high

Every negative thought can be countered
So let a positive one prevail
Why choose to hold your breath
When you can simply just exhale...

Bones 
Protruding 
Like they never have before
Questions
Countered by camouflage 
And false filling
I can only count to a thousand
And you’re counting on me
But I’m trapped
And truthfully,
I don’t intend to flee
It’s a numbers game
And I’ll calculate my way to the carcass...

heavy confused dreams
filled my night with restlessness
subconsciously awake

endlessly the mind wonders
every thought held as captive
unrelenting fear

the mind takes over
grandmaster of illusion
and I the pawn of the game

a mental torture
I mount my attack, countered
I awake, checkmate...

I held her so
wonderful
soul do I love her
her love countered embraced me Oh!

and I love her
I surely, holy un adulterating do so
love her
as we embrace

in my spirit, heart, mind, and soul do I love her

my heart beats, as well as her
and I never want to never ever let her go
Agape...

Shadowy silhouettes and fragmented memories;
ebony outlines inked by years of disappointment
veil hope's complicity in using trivial deeds
like colored crayons, to show God created those lines.
Faith countered my enthusiasm for life with self-doubt,
controlling my thoughts and dousing any sparks of hope.
All that awaits me beyond death is oblivion,
religion can't silence the lamentations of fate.

If freedom was granted, it would be wasted. 

They said.

If imprisonment was granted, it would cost you money. 

I countered. 

I left my spark. 

And carried away the remnants. 

Along with my bags. 

Which they had deemed part of the outside world. 

I left silently in the middle of the day. 

When everyone else was asleep. 

I wouldn’t stay another night. 

But others would. 

And their screaming would begin again without me....

I stuck a needle in my eye- I cried,
the soldier stuck a sword, in my heart nearly died.
Our fencing duo, our battle stride, 
Each step I countered I led in pride.

I stuck a needle in my eye- I'm blind.
Falling to the ground wounded I bled,
I died where I lay.
dismembered decayed Private 1st Class Daniel Ostrogoth,
dead frozen…"For a fly does not enter a closed mouth".
