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

So hailed a once sophistic court -
Dealt and felt, their mordant tort ...
If e'er the fount divulged its queen,
From seeping wrists ... what might have been.

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

Sounds discordant around abound
We instantly react
Likewise for fearful thoughts that hound
Tranquility detract
Aversion and desire
Send to funeral pyre
Be free, aglow, afire
Crow’s caw mordant
Sounds discordant

Quietus
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
halo bright, their intense, saintly glows casting rivers
of shadow and a golden glisten to the snowflakes that fall
twisting, in silence, in grace, to present winter's face.
Because Trouble Don’t Last Always
Have you
ever had sour thoughts
that pickled
you mind
until you realized
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?
Indeed, pity on the fool
denied mordant
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.
