Monogamy breeds monotony

Duplicity breeds depravity

Frivolity needs formality

Hostility needs humanity...

Relentless rain
Over abundant

Cold monotony
Blurring seasons

Droopy blossoms
Soggy gardens
Diluting summer....

A friend’s best laughter!
Shenanigans and tricks
End monotony.

You have clear vision; 
Monotony will cloud it; 
Your path is your own;
Stay off paved roads trailblazer, 
clear away the brush with fire....

Clouded sky in tears
Sorrowful sunrise
Midday monotony
Blues at sunset
Sleepless slumber
Midnight madness
Nightmare alley
Rude awakening...

A tenant farmer strummed one note
That some would argue Chopin wrote
Neighbours heard that sound
And plowed up his ground
Monotony sure got their goat!...

experimentalist artistes with rare  flair
Simplistic sounds expressed in numerics

monotony of redundant days
disappointed breakfast face
oh woe is me oh woe is you oh woe are we
stories I have heard sixty-nine-thousand times
my trial of life...

Leaves dancing in the breeze
Nature is blissful
When will I be
Creativity beckons
Come dance with me
Together we will break 
the monotony
And wish good bye 
to melancholy....

more danger than the outer 
                               internal enemies are multiple
                               until they can be conquered
                                    outer remains alive...

Alone with fifty men six months at sea
torture, this womanless monotony
after lusty dreams
follow lurid schemes
curvaceous manatees look good to me

Didn't like the taste of sorrow on my tounge
My bitter words, ashes in my mouth
Tears streak down my face, grey stains
on the sallow surface of my cheeks
Turns to salt on my lips
I whisper, every day is the same...

smoothness
imbued with character
his essence
imbedded deeply
in every crevice
sweet oils
of everyday labor
lubricating
its monotony
burnishing
the hard patina
of life

fields of corn
as far as the eye can see
from horizon to horizon
golden tassels wave
at a never-ending blue sky
allowing only occasional
gossamer wisps of clouds
to break the monotony

In the boring
U would have to make peace 
with us

feel complete with
the every day

a place where
my monotony is heaven
my hells yours 
& visa verse

can u accept this?

can you love us
in all the unacceptable

can u forgive
what i cannot be.......

Petite dear ..
Nowadays are normal
Inhabited by the vacuum , noise and boredom
And the language demilitarized rain
Nowadays wearing monotony
Is it possible, my dear ..??
Can ask from your breast to visit me ??
I want to give me ..
Share of strangeness...

    Happy Days of the year 2023

       
      Song of my lone life to sing in melancholic monotony.
      Christmas- meet of Granddaughter this year tuned the song in sweet symphony.
       Happiest days of the year resonated in perfect harmony....

Ive hit my limit
hit the ground
fallen over
without a sound

Today was it
the bitter monotony 
Stretched to my limit

Another day
still alone
I feel nothing
no emotion shown

And hereIi sit
Dark as night
to far to carry on
to tired to fight...

A whole new 
Irksome block of monotony
Placed at my door
By night.
Climb up or down as you please
Vacuous and silly I am all agog.
Some crazys have not slept
To herald
My wife, sterner stuff
As usual
Shakes off the ennui
And ignores the banal.

I would grow old with you
traverse the daily monotony
and the unexpected delights
that wound my heart
and make me bleed with love;
shed tears that weep in joy and happiness
knowing and embracing the thought
that we were meant to be
together, forever
and I would grow old with you,...
