And you tell me there's a God?
I won't sleep. Will you?...

Spring of lotus births
Summer of forest flowers
Fall of colored warriors
Winter of lamentations
Seasons of tragic dance...

Teacups by the sink.
Lamentations laid to rest.
I, a foetal curl, 
Breathing  in your life, now gone
Cocooned in your unwashed shirt....

The nostalgia in me stays
over such remarkable memories
and now the grieved lamentations
They fixed me and turned me to stone.
But your presence, though fleeting,

Even perpetual and absent, ... serves me as a guide ...!...

Jones, Jones, where are your bones? 
I'd like to hear again your moans, your groans, 
underneath loathed graveyard stones, 
all with weird sepulchral tones, 
me and all my friends, the crones, 
wailing o'er the bones of Jones....

Oh, all the grievances of grief 
When she is sad,
Oh, all the gladness 
That her happiness produces
When she’s joyful;
But the sadness of her lamentations
And the gladness of her joys
Doesn’t compare to the madness 
When she’s pissed off!...

Threnody dirges miseries
Severance of machinations
The gravedigger’s shovel buries
These coffin crypt lamentations
Lachrymose welts filling levees
Life’s vile xenotransplantations
Psychopomp as a wraith’s whisper
Dust swept away by a zephyr...

Regrets' embrace stirs past the hour
Ere long after best forgot
Anguished lamentations auger
Stains the shade of envies plot
Follower of deeds most dour
Bears the pall in every wake
Bids inter the tangled flower
Of passion birthed for envies sake...

Sobbing withheld in silence and emotions oftentimes feels like their related to each other. Fears,  weaknesses,  mistakes.  Everyone seems to have their own issues and
one's soul  burning like charcoal upon a fire causing confusion, griefs, disappointments,
blood,  sweat and tears...

Tried and tested by a virus, novel
I sit by the hearth of my lowly hovel
Taxed some more, without relief
Our kings, of their infallibility, grow in belief

Stimulus packages to the Lords
Home based care for the lowly sods
Dynastic games they play
The masses can only moan and pray...

"Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? ...
? Lamentations 1:12 ?NIV

Who loves America anymore?
Far too many takers.
Far too few givers.
LOVE, not selfish but selfless.
LOVE will not empty her of resources and leave.
LOVE feeds her with our dedication and loyalty.

IN MEMORY OF CENTURION 
GAIUS LUCIUS MANIUS 
PRIMUS PILUS FIRST COHORT
LEGIO VI VICTRIX
HE SPENT HIS PENSION
IN CISALPINE GAUL
WHERE HE RAN 
AN HONEST BROTHEL
HIS FUNERAL WAS GRACED 
BY A MURDER OF CROWS
AND GRIEVIOUS LAMENTATIONS
IN THE NAME OF FAIR ISHTAR
DAUGHTER OF SIN AND SHAMASH...

shadowed
       sunlight
        striding
staring
stirring
leaning
         in
         spectacular
         splendour
inexplicable
                distant
stumbling
        in
         elegant
               silence
in
sterile
twilight
    frosty
      red
whispered

God repaints the sunset 
uniquely
every night!

How can anyone be
indifferent
to this sight?

The sunrise, 
without fail, 
He keeps exquisitely 
adorning

Exemplifying 
how His Mercies 
are new every
morning*

An angel, 

in his heavenly tranquility, observing the lamentations of an inconsolable soul  because of its

upcoming incarceration within the walls of mortal flesh,  turned towards it and calmly said:


" Be patient dear soul for manifold your rewards will be for such a sacrifice !"

Darkness settles in
Grief parades our souls
and covers all like Sin
as we shiver from the cold.

He is gone!
In flesh and blood alone
Nothing left but the bone.

No more years left to chase
gone to be with the Divine
He is no more in this place
far above in Heaven's shrine.

He is gone!
But his spirit remains
Let Heaven bring down the rains....

It's been a beautiful day!
My being swims in the lotus poetry
Of souls penned true lamentations!
I can feel their lachrymose tears on
my soul's pages.

A poem has its own heart that can
without, a key.... open mine.
And pour its wisdom into my silky fine,
living, heart that becomes thine.
To remain forever, till the end of time.

Fly away little bird
from whence you came
into my freezing hand.

There is little fire
in my heart
to keep thy soul in winter.

I can no more join
Thy sweet angelic psalm.
My voice is gone
From my lamentations
Of my lost Evangeline.

Fly away
Beyond dark snares
To perfect rest
My arms cannot provide.

Fly away
O prey of love
from whence you came
To the cage of freedom....

In this place
her last sigh is thirsty

This is not her

In this place
her foot has grown numb

This is not her

In this place
poison has torn open
her back

This is not her

Her hair is in tangles
after her last bath

This is not her

Wearing her new clothes
she has looked at us for the last time

This is not her

Her ashes fly, scattered
in her joyful shrieks

This is not her...

X.I commandments, the lost lamentations

thou shalt witness infomercials
thou shalt carry unknown desires 

thou shall sign away contentment
thou will discover liability 

thou shall not have read small print
thou percentage will approach thy age

thou shalt cry with lacrimation
thou salt will crust thy face

thou shalt stare into nothingness and
to thy credit, thou will know human folly

The Bible contains 72 books
(Or 73 depending whether Lamentations listed as a separate book
Not as a part of Jeremiah)
Varying length from a few hundred words to many thousands

Together, these books comprise the official list or canon of the Bible
These books
45 were written before Christ
Called the Old Testament

The other 27 books 
Were written after the time of Christ
Called the books of the
New Testament...

Subjugation
listen to 
all the cheering 
the internal seething 
external hissing 
the breathing the bleeding,
the beating 
and weeping
eternally bleating 
Is supposed to be 
you said, ordained 
requiring a mark
and you are marked
whipped mindless,
senseless
Cowed into believing
in ancient lamentations
but didn't you know
when silence crawls, 
this is
Subjugation,
it's unconditional
consensual
sweet pain...

Shadowy silhouettes and fragmented memories;
ebony outlines inked by years of disappointment
veil hope's complicity in using trivial deeds
like colored crayons, to show God created those lines.
Faith countered my enthusiasm for life with self-doubt,
controlling my thoughts and dousing any sparks of hope.
All that awaits me beyond death is oblivion,
religion can't silence the lamentations of fate.
