Annoyed as Death stalks on her
Powerful end game...

One war is enough
To end all aspirations
End game for who's tough....

Care is passion first
Giving action next in line
End game: Happiness....

Fate the end game
time is fleeting
Moments pass
hate unleashing
Choices lost
reason stalls
Darkness calling
—hell enthralled

Sunday
Football's cool
root for my team
too bad they could not win
end game

Next week
game day starts
excitement builds
I hope they win this week
rose bowl...

Cat and canary at odds through the day
A game of chase hunts his delicious prey
But Tweety turns tables
Just like Aesop’s fables 
End game birdy tweets, hubris doesn’t pay!

An arrow
Slicing through the air
To hit its target
Wise upon the way
It is deceived by the destination
And is perceived by the realization
That the end game
Is already dead

Silent generation stay stoic, speechless, pout, watching time run out
Boomers shout while Gen X'ers rant
Millenials meanwhile, run fast, breathless, noisily  pant
Gen Zs the end now, run can't

magnetism intensifies
within body urn
no one else besides us feels
God’s benign bliss burn

our presence now void-centric
transforms as the flame
kundalini transmutes us
in our life’s end game...

The past is the one to blame
Yes future, it is his end game 
I will continue to eat
I will hand over the receipt 
Therefore, you can take the shame

version 2. 
version 1 didn't make sense.

Limerick : Once a Lion of a Man in ruin

Once a Lion of a Man in ruin
Tried to salvage his pawns and queer Queen
Far too late t’was end-game
Even his Knight was lame
So he reset rules and horsed his Queen !

there is this surreal pull
along central axis of form
bliss enraptured we feel full
as long as with love we conform

consumed thus from inside out
our central vein is now aflame 
each breath is a bliss bout
vibrant in life’s end game...

Heart 
seeks love
and mind light,
thus when both meld,
with light as the source
and love God’s vital force,
pristine presence feels complete,
having thus become the bright flame,
as soul’s claim to fame in life’s end game....

Quatrain #847:
GATE


Glimpse the your fate in that clear light,
Apt thought comes late as fond cheer sight;
Touch flings the gate open to soul,
End game you date in that last flight.

Ask now
Endow


Be well
Love tells


Charm clowns
Purge frowns


Dance trip
Firm grip


End game
Fits name


Frame feel
Sure thrill


Glimpse grace
Now trace


Hurl hurts
Dump dirt


Ink words
Joys heard

Three years of 'police action,'
Conducted according to 
The doctrine of 'limited war,'
In order to pursue 
A policy of 'containment.' 
Police action?
Containment?
Limited war?
Guess that’s why 
I don’t feel like Patton 
Pissing in the Rhine.
War is all hell.
Don't sugar coat it....

plugging energy leak
we see we’re strong not weak
the ‘we’ we allude to
is bliss that does renew
pervading every cell
in this body-mind shell

so as God’s magnetism
in this organic prism
as bliss beats take the lead 
fears and desires recede
thus we become the flame 
here now in life’s end game...

when Holy Spirit pervades form
there rises within, a magnetic storm
rapture of which nothing may be said
save we are being to heaven by God led

as a benign bliss burn slowly exhumes ego
vibrancy of our presence begins to grow
we are in time, consumed by the flame 
transformed thus in life’s end game...

I'm bunged up.
I need a filter for my gutter.
My bone-headed Doctor
reckons I don't eat right
but 'Little Debbie' Donuts are my delight
as I binge-watch re-runs of Game of Thrones.
Blood, gore, and sugar -
but i'm stuffed
and must take the cure.
Now I dare not stray far from my own 
porcelain throne....

Asking for your support
not your agreement
I looked into your eyes
Seeing rejection
your stare blank and cold
our connection was untied

Your words became hollow
your touch nondescript
 new distance did we share
Alone while together
the ending in sight
—finality laid bare

(Dreamsleep: July, 2023)...

When you’re dying of terminal sadness,
It’s easy to fall for false cures,
Distracted by tempting amusements
Whose needs seem more pressing than yours.
When you’re two moves adjacent to checkmate
In the game of asserting control,
You’ll get ghosted and gas-lit, 
By a gold-digger’s gambit
Hell bent for a piece of your soul.

Heart hears
Art tears
Purge fear
My dear


Keep face
Fond trace
Sure space
Clear ace


Now sight
Warm light
Poise right
Calm flight


Love shows
Deep flow
Wise glow
You know


End game
Bold name
Frames same
Not blame


Rich pun
Fond run
Pure fun
Bright sun
