Hot flashes for change!
Entrenched momentum steamrolls
—maybe tomorrow...

Entrenched
positions
in no man's land,
on the battlefields of
our minds

Turkish Delight Jumble

‘Glorious’ gallimaufry 
crumbles confusion in vain
entrenched in Gallipoli
still no sense derived from pain

Here lies the whistling hollowed bones of lovebirds 
Entrenched in storm torn skylines
Set flight amidst torrents
Breaking body and soul
Failing to find the fervent love in them in others...

I thought that SOMEWHERE
At some point along life’s line
Our hearts would find each other

Somewhere’s out of reach
You’re entrenched in yesterday
Another SOMEWHERE awaits…

Images
     
Imprint of holocaust
         indelibly entrenched
implodes with recurrence
          Injuring array of
icons  evokes nightmares
         inciting shrill screams of
infant left motherless

reserves
       depleted
    entrenched
in
feebleness
    strengthless
      self-centred
ego
to
the fore
        the
        tempest
rages
all around
battered
drenched
bereft
      broken
       beaten-
sigh
  turn
      back...
the cry...

Pen or pencil, scribbling a hearts desire
Open mind that begets thoughts that are afire
Entrenched with a passion of painting words with brushless strokes
Mindful of every corner, every hump of these lyrical roads
Saving every fantasy, cherishing every dream!...

Clarity

Seems as a

Conditioning 

Goal..making 

Boundaries sharp

And words crystal 

Clear with unquestioned

Definition..

Separation is solid

Entrenched

Assured and protected..

Clarity is pleasing and

Beautifully illusory...

Habits are hard to break
Makes no difference good or bad,
Entrenched, they problems make
When problems, make us sad.

Habits steal our freedom
Got to find time to indulge them,
Make us believe we need ‘em
Even when hacking up phlegm!

Conspicuous
by his absence
Entrenched  
in his abeyance
Condemned
in his reluctance
All feelings
askant 

Forgiveness
but a carrot
From a garden
long estranged
Those closest
to his exit point
Bereft
— and unclaimed

What do I want and what do I desire?
How the question never tires
Entrenched in oil
Falling victim to heresy
Deceiving myself into apostasy
Gravity & I have come to an understanding
When I die
He's free to do with me as he pleases
Until then
He must grant me a day without pain....

Houses
entrenched, mounted
over beaten soil and stones...
Cemented in concrete
 and amazement...
Everything to survive the fight
against the natural ways
and artificial routes...
Everything to offer
  to the lord of the place,
the comfort, the security
from life's misfortunes!...

H onor, unseen, unheard, not felt, is not mucH.
O ver there at the other side where we will all gO,
N othing's worth preserving, not things we've knowN.
O nly the declared weight that the scales tell us sO
R eveal the fate where we stay entrenched foreveR.

The Lord draw's
A long line from Divinity
By proclamation
And by design
The Lord is
Entrenched in Divinity
And for the Ministry
There is time, thus multitude
Of Trinity
Becomes' his long suffering
His cantor for Restoration
Is here-by restored
And refined to the end
Of time of being

Friend of freedom is close at hand,
Roaming the battlefields across our land,
Engulfed by whisps of smoke that somehow pervade,
Entrenched by the enemies' live grenades,
Directing their tracer fire across the sector,
Over the bloody scene carnage is a spectre,
Many have perished because freedom is not free!...

aura seeped'n seals
trained by breech
entrenched in smirk
leering limbs lurch
saucy smirk spank
face into trance

lusty lips weave
hoisted hankering hymns
rustling robust rhythm

jumpy jazz jolts
per punctured pores
sappy song sawn

admirer nursing gores
felon face prod.

Family Is A Growth Of Joining Forces
From The Beginning Of Time
A Time Of Creation
An Establishment Of New
With The Fundamental Ways
We Are Entrenched To One Another
Each And Every Day
Though Sometimes It Is Hard
To Be Near One And All
For Our Family Is Here
Be Thankful One And All

The sky can’t decide
If it’s blue or it’s gray.
The clouds, filled with rain,
Aren’t going away.

The sun, mostly hidden,
Entices the birds,
While raindrops sneak out,
Dripping onto my words.

This morning I walked,
Getting thoroughly drenched
But beneath this strange sky, now,
I’m gladly entrenched....

WRINKLES
in
vivid
  transformation
& corroborated
  shifts of tone
 reminiscent
stimulus
  plays of light
powerfully alive
 in split
second feelings
 interspersed
by
suggestions
in
 entrenched
 dynamic events
yet
 unhurried style
with
lightness of
 pushing
momentary
situations
encountered...

There is no heroism in war
no glory in its glorification
nor beauty in its brutality.

There are no heroes in war
only soldiers entrenched
in bonded brotherhood.

There is only life and death
amid the screams of
living and dying

It is to do with pilgrims or something
Round up the turkeys and buffalo wing
Quite hard to celebrate
Aware of turkey's fate
I prefer our New Years Eve highland fling

It's not related to 4th of July
I'm quite sure that one has the pumpkin pie
It's fireworks and freedom
Pretty entrenched custom
I'm totally more a valentine's guy...

I pick things up and feel their power again
As their memories flood right in
For some have happiness entrenched
While others find my tears are wrenched

Just simple things you may say
But I will never give them away
Carefully I wrap these things with each fold
For later when their story will again be told.

The Lord draws'
A long line of divinity
     By proclamation
    And by design

      The Lord is
  Entrenched in divinity
     And for the ministry

          Of trinity
Becomes His long suffering
   His cantor for restoration
       Is hereby restored

Banished by nature.
 Condemned to a watery
 grave of recycled

 tears. Struck down in the
 wake of newborn innocence.
 A fallen angel

 surrendered in an
 untimely demise, seizing
 tangible feeling.

 A photographic,
 stagnant beauty entrenched in
 a cleansing casket.

 Existing among
 the wrath of nature’s recourse.
 Embodied silence....
