Love Found Me
Oh like an army
she battled through my defence
like a tornado
blew away a mordant mind,
yet the touch of an angel.

This mordant assignment
Is my nemesis with physical insult-
My venerated assailant
Famed for making life difficult!

Sounds Discordant
Sounds discordant around abound
We instantly react
Likewise for fearful thoughts that hound
Tranquility detract
Aversion and desire

Be free, aglow, afire
Crow’s caw mordant
Sounds discordant

Snow Night
Snow began in mordant gray dusk,
a silent sprinkle of crystal light twinkle,
attaché charm to the simply ordinary.
Purple skies drew black as dreary fought back
to obscure winter’s mask of ceramic magique.
Yellow sodium campus lights slow ignite to golden

ever had sour thoughts
that pickled

brine times of life
had to be left
behind;
and then
you sought
lush cane fields
in which to rump
and wallow
and scream
in wholesome glee?

menacing moments
of gloom
devoured and transformed
by the sweetness
of happy times dawning!
Yes, to be sad is bad;
to not know happiness is worst....
