To Love

There is a deep hum in the abyss at which you found paradise
Death is nigh – fetid, still, and dreads just slowly enough
Before we find ourselves, despairingly alone
Haunted by action, and dreading apathy –
Perhaps life was sweet, drearily idyllic
Yet as stench sank slowly into my soul,
Your face haunts me still in possibly. . .
The most beautiful way possible.

Winter Rhapsody

The leafless, arthritic branches of the sycamore and maple trees stretched their grotesque, naked forms now stripped by the blasts of winter; splaying drearily overhead casting cold, rickety shadows over recently fallen snow. A prevailing wind rushes through the trees and a choir of creaks begin their rasping rhapsody. A momentary lull begins and the wooded composition in a Larghissimo tempo ends on a melancholy note.

After a Long Work--Lgt

The evening dons a peaceful shroud
As windows teeter in the breeze.
Here, only lone sighs are allowed
Along the road, an endless wheeze.

While toilers saunter homeward bound
Reflecting hours quite drearily,
With tic- tac rhythm on the ground
Like shuffles of a weary tree.

Dim lanterns cut through brightened shade
With moonlight glowing starlit white,
Till liquid eyes are inter-laid
For even in reminisce is light.

the sloth yawns at time
inert, as listless minutes
turn wasted hours to years

work is left undone
avoided like a poison 
the very thought, repugnant 

the useless hand rules
in sluggish monotony
repeated “ad nauseam”

hear the weary sighs
a disinterest in ideas
thinking takes too much effort 

how dull the moments
how easy to lay around
drearily, suffocating

and so the sloth goes
through blank, barren idleness 
wallowing in stagnancy
