or perhaps life's futility
that little is being learned,
just more wrinkles earned!...

The honey is taken from me.
I sting.
Someone cries.
And I die....

Wife
I once had one
So much in love
That we couldn’t see
The futility
Of love in this life
No what I really need
Is a loving wife...

dilly-dallies that people do.
Gross lessons in futility

Healing the deep agony within
Both pain and love have been seen

One Mad Summer Afternoon
Forgetting to hold my breath,
I was swept away in an ocean
Of passion and futility,
Without any thought of resuscitation.

I Am Impaled
Flailing madly
Against the tide,
I am impaled
By the futility of life.
Slowly losing myself
In the bitter cold,
The devil's clenching fingers
Encase my soul....

a cosmic exercise in futility
The king loves his creatures quite white
Colored beings make him uptight
From those he’ll secede
Though that won’t succeed
Since leaving this Earth’s not too bright...

Total War
Bitterness, loneliness,
Anger and pain,
Whole worlds suffer
Yet none may gain.
Frustration, futility,
Strife without end,
Mankind’s in the dust
Death comes as a friend....

until you learn humility?
Life is short and often blurry.
Summon your inner tranquility.

held strong with grievous filaments
i struggled not
feeling the futility
and the masterful illusion of my jaundiced mind
she holds me captive
on the turntable of despair...

Futility of a Run
ebony carnivore’s velvet coat comes into view in a rush
his prey is terrified, too frightened to run, knowing the futility of it
she advances, with those determined amber eyes
her babies will eat tonight...

We'Ve Been Trumped
Each day is a frustrating adventure in futility
Tolerating such weird behavior is incomprehensible
The man at the helm
Is spitting out phlegm
Normal just ain't in his realm of possibility...
