Paradise Lost
Apology
not good enough
Intention
still to blame
The road to hell
left burning red
its deviance
in flames

Excuses
rolling off the tongue
with lie
compounding lie
A higher power
judgment bound
the devil
— in denial

Insights
It was less savory.
The tibia breaks and you
enter into unbuttoned dress.

        *

The deviance was abusive.
I cannot accept the celebration 
of skin, unwrapping small Buddhas.

        *

When the fear recedes, I will 
move around the words? 
to seek the meaning.

Carnal Flame
I oft wonder about thee
the flame that once shone bright
into mine life

Have thou been extinguished
by all the lies
spread by deviance for all to behold

Or have thy flourished
using deceit and manipulation
to fuel forward

Nary a thought
as to the carnage you leave behind
in the hearts of others

Tis I ponder

Symphony of a Battered Woman
His cold hand graced the softness of my battered skin. He was a dead man but he walked in front of my eyes. His patterns of repetitive punches flew and sorrow filled screams coming from my heart never stopped him from rotting away. He continued to be dead but I saw him well alive, as I thought the law would never capture his deviance and pull him to the morgue....

Disjoined
When
Will we accept our idealist indirection? 
Deviated by selfish deviance;
byproducts of our own deceits. 

Hope
Remains in anonyms who grasp moralizing concepts. 
Courage must manifest promised tangibility. 

Despair
Cripples forces of hope;
Sprinkling dreary forecasts, only to be left in doubt.

Questionable answers are found, such as...
Why do we be what we are?

Premium Member Respect For Humankind
Pray, do you know what I do mean
When respectful I do wish you seen
Do you care for humanity
Do you care by showing respect
For all that does be imperfect
Do you have this humility
Pray, do you know what I do mean
When respectful I do wish you seen

Arrogance fills up every nook
Deviance follows it by hook
Do you care for humanity
Do you have this humility
Pray, do you know what I do mean
When respectful I do wish you seen...

Change At Hand
The fallen snow procured 
Itself with the earth all winter
As spring enters its warm winds,
The snow-transformed-from its frozen home
Begins its path of deviance carving the weak soil
Conveying the grieving trusting earth down river
Where the surmounting horror ends;
Only after a twisted ride does the soil find refuge
In the bottom of a lake;
Where momentarily is thought of as unimportant
By its self and others; 
But, a change is at hand; a change is at hand....
