others staggered,

Trump Mustered Out

We met Trump at mustering gate
And see him we could hardly wait
Failed having bone spurs in feet
Now is part and parcel of elite
How can a moron others educate?

.

Heat rushed through her fleshy parts from the thrust within mine charge
  That look on her face as I made flight for rest did melt this cold heart
    Oh I panicked yet mustered the wake to cause her dream in sleep...

Soft pink lips open for a gentle kiss-
To and fro between locked hips-
Two souls dancing into eternities bliss-
Physical union at each end and dips-
Mustered will and swift returned-
By each inch, soft lips had learned-...

Embers twitched;
it took everything I had 
but they reluctantly stirred to my will

Cold ashes abandoned in the grate also 
mustered under whispered threats
and gentle reproach

Through tortured twists
and painful resolve
hollow bones, wings and talons emerged

I live again -
spirited, proud and free
Rising to face the world anew

Vacant Perdition


Reeling listless
Empty story
Gazing, endless
Mandatory
Purgatory
Muted motion
Thinking sorely
Null devotion

Sudden urges
Fleeting feelings
Will emerges
Sailing ceilings
Disused dealings
Mislaid purpose
Broken meanings
Without service

It’s insipid
Bouncing bluster
Wisdom wicked
Nothing mustered
Lacking luster
Sempiternal
Filibuster
Silence vernal...

Timid, gutless, young man feebly muttered 
Then mustered spartan courage and puttered,
And fluttered he like a dove
And stuttered to say his love,
But "Shoo - Shoo!" pretty, beloved uttered.

My frailty was a huge weight,
A burden I was unable to support.
But I mustered the strength to go on.
and they make my weakness into a strength.
My uncertainties and worries acted as a wall,
A wall I couldn't go over.
But I mustered the courage to press on.
And make my weakness the wake of my strength.
My battles were like a storm,
I couldn't control the temperature.
But I discovered the will....

Eye tried stalking
Eye did everything
Eye wanted to be near
Eye was obsessed

Hue always cover up,
Hue avoided me all the times
Hue defied my efforts
Hue left me hanging

Eye took my thoughts deeply 
Eye mustered all my strength
Eye vow to fight
Eye will never give up, because

Eye loved everything about hue
Eye did everything to see hue
But I saw nothing, cause in the end
Eye was blind of hue...

faint hues arose from a distance
as i follied beyond the grave gestures
of a calming mirage

faintly showers began
to sprinkle over the seasonal earth
thee past time frawned above it all
shattering sound near a mustered seed patch

coarse branches crawled over soiled nest
tampering with the birds homeland 
twigs fell to the ground draw string hung
cracked eggs settled underneath the oak
just in time for a foxes lunch...

With the autumn
like the trees
I turn
and shed my graces
bare
but for mustered 
reservations
for a long nights 
depression
that's as faithful
as the seasons

Most leery was I at the introduction,
not knowing if poet or possible seduction?

but after a while I mustered  "hellooooo" 
and 15 years later I've now come to know 

That if I could convince Ron Wilson to write 
he'd put it all down in the heat of the night.

"I'm too busy, he said, I just want to work!" 
A poet's ... a poet,  stop being a jerk!

Well he finally wore down, joined Poetry Soup,
VeeBdosa's his name AKA endless loop...

When the light flickered a shadow whispered,
Psst my bubbles,
For whom have you mustered,
This bear courage to face the fears. 


Oh her eyes knew,
Each ounce, the word of truth
Yet silent was the air in morning dew
Layered in mist, through and through


The life that made her eyes, crumbled
Long before the smile that built her
Today, the shadow pondered,
Oh bubbles,
How long before was it that you actually twinkled?

Bronco Don

My name’s Bronco Don ,
an I’m not passing on, 
cos I’m busted.

I can’t ride me horse,
Me spurs look much worse,
Cos they’re rusted.

The Shielas can run,
but I can’t catch a one ,
Cos I’ve lusted.

Me stockwhip will sing,
Around any flaming thing,
I’ve mustered.

An I’m springing about,
An checking you out,
Till I’m rusted.

So bury me deep,
Away from the sheep,
Cos I’m not cutting the mustard.

Voices scream in terror,
They cry, pained whimpers left echoing in your ears,
And you can't escape.

Running frantically,
Fire in waves of relentless fury surrounding your path,
You can't escape.

This Hell, mustered from fear itself-
Your enemy- cackles,
The shadows reflected from the fire swarming you, invading internally.

Internally indeed,
With no chance to escape the devilish imagination of the mind,
You live your life in Hell....

our personal failings are held inside
they show themselves when we call upon
them &
when we least expect them to rear their
ugly head---
lucky are those who have people round them
to distract from the suffering
which the self inflicts upon itself
when undergoing the regret of
personal failings,
but ironic is the fact that 
to suffer is to survive &
to survive is to conquer 
all those things which
would have it be otherwise,
even if one mustered them on their own,
alone....

you enter into my innermost calmness
chafed naught a crawling grapevine 
and speared mustered seeds I'd beckoned 
your tenderness your infamous timely 
sorted kisses morbidly missed over time 
driving over gravel searching for hidden 
scents of blushing rosebuds that catered 
to my senses why I'd explored your shyness 
that emptied my kindness beyond a darkened 
cave a sinking floor causing me to blush 
beneath the mauve sky hidden 
along Baghdad's humble shoreline...

Periwinkle winter wind
an icicle arena
a mustered bold intensive soul
inside this house I linger.

To venture past my sunken gate 
To melt the fallen snow
would endanger all that's candle lit
and snag the shadow's flow.

I'm married to this musty page,
these words in sepia leak
while the morning blows continuous
the writer's stain takes seed.

And if you see me weeping
and if you see me sigh
close the shutters, trap the darkness, 
winter winds are blowing nigh....
