Banal denials 
tumultuous humility
karma boomerang...

Fomented cycles
address only lonely lips
kiss free denials...

Leap Year's "poll" vault
Olympic primary trials
Push-over leaps by party default
others limp away with denials.
Sis boom bah; blah, blah, blah, 
"poll'-itics and the media.

Two sisters sit beguiled in common guilt;
all that is left.
That
and denials;
bitterness 
turned outwards;
inwards too painful.
Truth, a casualty
like lost children.
Love, just a word....

Crawl
Tears

Denials

Full circle

Death nears

Failure is not final
it affords you a second chance

mistakes are not denials
most times the're just happen stance

so never give up on desires
your defeats are just trials

the heart never fails to inspire
for it knows that failure is not final...

Suicidal
with this gin
in hand.

He's repeating history
when his denials
another grim demand.

Who knew silence could be so loud?

He wonders why their here at the end,
but when needed the most,
he couldn't find a single friend.

Singled out.
Across the crowd....

Precedence are they mere fragments of one’s imagination dreams deferred of acceptance, denials, or excuses. Precedence beyond one’s control although it may seem.
In systems called life, Are their really second chances re repeated cycles in this game of precedence....

Shall I see the burden take how can it ever shake
Color me hue so hurt  sadden and blue
Half lies so trues seldom denials
Closed minds Open Hearts
Colors of truths duty bound awaken by  brutes 
Shall I see harvesting absolutes planning the truth
Shallow breath~...

A distant scream,
the future cries,
our past to burn
unclaimed

Predictions simmer,
forecasts stir,
denials rage
enflamed

All promise broken,
hearts on fire,
reasons singed with
pain

With love in ashes,
hope to scald,
and freedom left
—in shame

(Dreamsleep: October, 2019)...

He wrote poems, 
Little bridges,
Broken lifelines.

Distance, like darkness
Drained the heart,
Despite the crying,
That no one heard,
Dreaming, replacement
Denials, escapement,
Confusion all around,
Until the final shutdown.

She loved orchids,
And the full moon,
Those were her windows....

In our brief life, 
so many roads, 
so many miracles 
and blessings and glories, 
but also so many curses and denials, 
grief and contempt,
continuous waves on the planetary seas 
that come and go, 
and they crawl us into the vast heavens,
in that quiet rhythm universe 
listen to your heart beat....

Tomorrow will be the day - I swear, I willstop - Today will be the end - Only one more day, today - Everyday becomes tomorrow - Every tomorrow denials today - That is a dictEd ad, but not for one day - Oh no mam, I do it everyday - Tomorrow I will change - Tomorrow, I pray, must stay away - That is what I pray today...

Nagging ~ recurring,
Conjecture of truth or lies,
Man deaf to it all,
just wants a nice quiet life.

Success ~ happy life,
nagging makes it a failure,
Depressed with failure,
nagging says ~ I told you so.

With all its sarcasm,
respond with the optimism,
Out of denials,
It Will find joy in its thoughts....

Giving up,
we lose ourselves
in soft denials,
tally up bone-tinted
Kodaks – recall
brief glints of eye,
succinct resemblances
of generations. 

Listlessly,
we wait
death’s domination—
cool brushes
of wind,
flutterings 
of waxen wings
& last breaths,
dusky, distant
as the webbed
membranes
of memories....

Running up to the runner up;
Side snear clusters,
Pearl smiles exchanged for admitting the lifelong denials.
Perfect, for what is perfect in the now?
Pressed on shirts and passed on frowns.
Speeding black shine for year long miles,
The get up to get up,
Grows fallen in the struggle;
Gold fades to brown,
Tarnished and soon to be mild....

Where love so behind
Scare  its  own  arguments 
In wish tent of love  resurrects
Where love reborn in many kinds
In between beloved  in between  denials
All be the same love in tenderness
Love so behind  in each  lost
Love so behind  losing  dreams inside and abroad
Make a tent to be all world  in love
Magician in dreams in house  should fall in love...

Sincerely dear;
I love you here;
Only you and I;
Can spy, we fly;
We see with are eyes;
How we fly;
With lifted spirits skies;
We tower high;
No reason why;
Towering cries;
Loving sighs;
Pungent cries;
Emotional denials;
Fervent trials;
Yet you and I
Try
To live this  romantic tie;

If Only we
 could be
 honest

 to each other
To ourselves 
Really 

I could ask
You could  too
Shields down

so many others
You spoke to
I just got ink

Denials and lashing
I trusted without blink
Mistake 

Set up traps
Some real, some fake
Fear over took 

your eyes confirmation
Further confusion 
How could I want more 

Like I said, if only....

Wisdom 
picks on the dementia. 
I lash out in drunken rage.

The water world,
I stand on an island 
in incremental rain-

of denials. Time was 
floating on the shells. 
Sea was in sullen mood.

Sunless sky wants 
to start a ceremony of 
clouds and tears.

How far you will 
walk with a gypsy ?
I have started the journey for invisible.

Everything tended 
to darken around her
The light from the sun
all feelings deferred

Her winter foreboding
sucks air from the room
Constant denials
predictions of doom

Pawning tomorrow
the price of today
Happiness bartered 
her dreams steal away

Everything tended
to darken around her
Shadows descending
—the future interred

You treated me this way since
day three of our marriage 

At first I thought it was me
causing the misery 
I wised up and found
you were a man from Hades

I kept our home as best I could
you never even tried
after years of marriage 
and two many blue-black eyes
I left....

Not soon enough 
when denials lead the way
that’s what made me stay
too complex
a diet of denial never works......

My mother on a day of marked memory
By this cycling page of history
Gave me then my first nativity
I have no next title to her legacy
That stretches my skin to cover
The etiolated sagging of time
That since childhood over and over
Stripped me of the strict sublime.
I am not deluded by denials ruse
This subtle crawling of grave
Nearer to my impotence to refuse.
I am still, all the rage is in the wave....

Overnight the woodland mushrooms grow,
High up the acorn oak flourishes,slow;
The school of life,awards no degree,
Each day,we all, an examinee.

Delays are not always denials,
More often , wayside trials;
Best not to compromise or abstain
Merely to make short-term gains.

Hurry takes a very long time,
As we make our daily climb;
Take life slow,from inside out- 
To ensure we reach life's check-out,...

God is kind
The opposite is of mankind
The world of minds
Full of thoughts as seas' sands

When evil deeds arise
Propelled by a man
Say not it's God surprise
For He is not a man.

God is kind
For when He to you brings trials
To ascertain your true denials
Such a man He choose to find.

Faith worthy in whole
Who runs not after miracles so urgent
But request in patient head bent
Receives a reward of a blessed soul....
