Retribution

You asked forgivenesses,
She didn't reply to it. 
Ironic isn't it?
You only realize that,
Whom you've known died already.

on life's ugly, jagged edge;

Ironic Connection

Undoing our breaking net,
To your false heart connected;
Ironic we met.
Our lost feelings, I reset;
Upset, our trust, I regret...

A girl once told me
She had a fear.
A strange
Fear,
Hippomonstrosesquippedaliaphobia.
It's the
Fear of very

Such balances as do as you’re told

Look ironic man

Not a random skip.

Rather, it dropped correctly.

Was neater than other lines.

Irony of My Story

How ironic is my sad story
After enabling their glory
Finding my errors and folly
Is what they now seek in fury
Zenith this is in daggers gory

ironic endings always wrought
never lasting in our findings

bullies
made you flinch

will grow up
to gain mid-sections
stand over grease pits

Life is ironic.

hard against the wall
the seat of death finally rests
in ironic drape, ropes hang
wicker basket waits
a twist, a turn, beheaded
mans inhumanity dealt

Black Garlic

I wish I could eat black garlic
Its so paradoxical
something axiomatic 
eating sweetly caramelised
like an ironic joke
or a thwarted after dinner speech

       at asylums where madmen shoot at you

Fool For Love

foolish are the men who write of love
if experience is lacking
ironic that a woman

truly love is blind
yet we still see
each other
