dissolving fantasy...

And finally, the time has come...
the butterflies flew away,
and the bees ran out of honey....

So disenchanted with spring equinox 

my clock has to change again 

will someone tell the birds.

Tasted, loved and disenchanted
I went from chateau blanc to become bitter
sommelier of myself vinegar at last
all love comes to an end one day...

With tyranny appreciated and coercion praised
The noble and gentle are bewildered and dazed

Today the world is simply disenchanted
     Tomorrow there will be many fingers raised...

Longing
Pining, Desiring
To be loved
Unconditionally, as one is,
Unfulfilled.

Yearning
Wishing, Nostalgic
To be belonged
By others and self,
disenchanted.

I am as an infant 
Reaching
For the stars
Above my crib
Fascinated so
By shiny
A piece
Of metal scraps
And lacquered wood
Hanging 
By silver threads
On the lattice
Of the skies....

On a night like this
The weaknesses take hold
Turn to dust the things
That keep you bold
On a night like this
I took some things for granted
Now I stand here free
But disenchanted
Could it be possible again?
On a night like this
I do wonder when...

Tapering off in a redundant gesture of defeat
An erroneous life silently suffocating on fumes
Indoctrinated since birth
and reprogrammed by independent perception
Disenchanted as the layers peel back
revealing the perverted roots of a seemingly fruitful surface...

Trapped, like Napoleon on Elba, cursing himself 300 straight nights.
There's no escape from MY desolate coast"so I longingly wait nights.
The moon comes and goes on restless, disenchanted, chaste nights.
Will I be an old maid before the next"dear and playful"date night?...

Though at first terrifying,
no denying:
dancing on a wheel
makes it feel
like I am flying.

An aside, for what it’s worth:
unbridled mirth
turns disenchanted
supplanted
by crashing to earth.

Who Elected Recent Presidents
By Franklin Price
2/1/2016

Who elected recent presidents?
My guess is you don't know
It was not the ones who voted 
But the ones who did not go

If you are of the majority
Whose ballots end up blank
Don't be disenchanted with results
You only have yourself to thank...

Benito Mussolini was known to folks in Italo as Il Duce.

   But they became disenchanted and hanged him with a noosey!

He was strung upside down with Clara Petacci his moll!

   'Twas an ignominious finale for his closing curtain call!

CONFETTI

sitting
under prickling stars
twitching
moon weaved wedge
stares then wanes
behind looming gloom
switching
distant dreams fall
like confetti

misty and tarnished
disenchanted
vaporised visions
pearls of passion
pervasive prevailing
like confetti

With strong hands resting
on sharp rocks, I stare afar
intrigued by silence...

I seem disenchanted
by what reality conveys
through its mystery... 
 

Fear is a lament, 
a remote voice never heard;
a lark's joyless shrill...

There were shades of tranquility
    aching 'neath civilization's cry,
still blood was shed amid glorified
  borders of battlefield's convoluted calling,
each magnified footprint pooled crimson
   filled ideologue's of disenchantment
     amidst revolutions of ill-chosen power,
 marching to drumbeats of fool's gilded dogma...

AWAITING SNOWFLAKES


            ALONE TAMPING BEATEN TRAIL IRREPRESSIBLY HEARTBROKEN

            MENACING SKY TORMENT A PERIPATETIC DISENCHANTED SOUL

            TEARY EYED SHE PONDERS FORSAKEN WISH LONG FORGOTTEN

            COURAGE TRANSCEND DEFEAT AWATING SNOWFLAKES TO FALL

I am bored with work.
  My job is mundane.
Somedays it seems
  I might go insane.

It's the same thing
  day after day,
but I have no choice,
  I need the pay.

My job is boring,
  disenchanted I am.
If I win the lottery
  I'm going on the lam.

The darkness calls for me and in the trees i hear it whisper
ever so softly
it knows me by name now
it understands my pain and it promises me no more misery
swears it will take me away from this disenchanted existence that has forever 
denied me satisfaction
denied me life
i take it's sweaty hand and i follow
into the deadness
eternally 
into nothing...

Humanity thy thorns burn, tear untoward for you conceive no compassion
Tainted soul seeking kin to participate in wrong
As the disenchanted search a haven in which to belong  
Why hate lies strong double pronged in our troubled world
Be every mans cross to bear 
Sentiment and words alone constitute not change
Good night god bless suffering doth not digress...

icicles  dripping on  a  disenchanted  heart
stalls it’s rhythm right from the start
desire of love is absent to  its core  
like an  paradise island  without a shore

a cold heart remains  silent and does not bond  
remains aloft and does not wish to correspond   
freedom of love had been torn  from its veins 
now sheltered  in fear which takes the reins....

I've passed the disenchanted one, in the empty hallway
I've heard the isolated girl, arguing in the mirror
I've seen the angry hermit girl reflected in the toaster
I've noticed the crazy girl, crying in the shower
I've enjoyed the whispers of the poet talking to herself
Her latest performance had the largest audience yet
the flowers were captivated but the cat left unimpressed...

Inside the circle
Where we played as children
Careless of moon and tide
I stand alone
Savant of the starry heaven
Pursued by a disenchanted bride
The rosy moon
Her lilly white nakedness, a breast
Upon the wet and naked grass
The stars in ruin
And of the storm I have no love less
The sublime moment cannot pass
Outside the circle
The wounded hawk circles still
Aroows of the moon are made from quill...

Forsooth and forlorn ferocious I fried,

Before Bibawhack, my baboon bastard's bride. 

To teachy thee a truth,  Ye took And Ye tried…

On yon odorous oxters [as the ocean tide.] 

Guarengriddle Green, elope, elope.  Makes watery- eyed.

So send it soft, send it soon, spittle spot, easily spied.

Him and she, Her and He hurtle and hide…

Disenchanted, disabused, deceased I died.
