Lost in stormy weather 
Obliterating new endeavours 
No chance of getting better 
Even when were together...

illnesses too tragic to mention
angrily parading through families
who will be the next victim?
changing your life greatly
obliterating
nonsensical

Walking on the soft sand, forming open arms
Hovering towards the wind, wings able to fly
Under the mighty rain, obliterating from the outer harm
Seeking the Truth, I encountered humanity from my private- eye....

Funny, feisty, fearless
Obliterating output
Rescuer of raccoons

Creative counselor to curious children
Adamant artistic aspirations
Relatives overrunning
Eye for exceptional expression
Nifty note-taking natural!...

The world ends inside me as I realize you can never be here
And darkness shreds inside of me, curling and twisting
The absence is abhorrent - positively criminal
Emerging in me is the aftermath of all disasters obliterating
YOU CAN NEVER BE HERE
And there, to you, I must go...

November breezes in, 
Obliterating the remnants of October
Vacuously announcing its intentions to 
Embrace the sky and all is over
Memories of warmer days misspent,
Believing we had more time to circumvent
Events that would follow, the November 
Rampant days of tomorrow...

Like spears of light such bright bolts born;
the buds of daffodils are formed
Within a fine green glade of shafts,
the buds of Marches blooms do blast

Removing gloom of browns, grays,
obliterating dreary days,
most fair salute, glorious dawn;
the day the daffys buds adorn....

Perdition is a lonely road
Travels on and on
No haven found
Hiding in the fogs of time

Purgatories gain
Has found the hearts loss
Obliterating glorious possibilities
In finding everlasting nirvana

Timeless hopes 
Engulfing a life in solitude
Lost in worthless abandonment
A savior yet to be found...

My broken soul weeps
Eternal tears for you

Never to understand

The thoughts inevitably obliterating my heart

Only glimpses of the former person remain
Fast fading into nothingness

And such will be the lethal life sentence

Forever will I weep
Weep, weep, weep

Not only until death

But beyond my demise...

As the Sun sets at dusk,
The women folks trekking 
   briskly home,
 dinner on their minds.
Turning and churning the
  firewood;
Smoke billowing from the
  fireplace,
Rising and ascending to the 
  Skies;
Obliterating the blue sky with the
  plumage of smoke.
It is the evening sacrifice of wood,
  dinner is being served....

Fantastic fabulous frisky faeries flitter forever 
Luxuriously loving lady-like likeable lilies 
Obliterating outgoing outlandish ostentatious orchid
Wonderful whimsical warmhearted warlock wiggles wind 
Effervescent ebullient elegant elves eagerly expedite Echinacea 
Relieved rambunctious radiant roses replenishes rakish Rudbeckia...

The wind roars 
obliterating
angel voices
showing me
the way,
the only way,
the gospel way
trees bent and broken 
hurled like dust
in a desert storm
a sword dance 
I take the chance
and pray
the angel voices
messaging
the wilderness
prevail
at last
against 
the howling
prowling
creatures
of this deafening 
windswept
wild and unforgiving 
night

  The locusts are coming
    They’ll be here soon
  Turning all greenery black
    Obliterating the moon

  Devouring vegetation
    Causing aggravation
  Raising a ruckus and din
    A sorry state the world is in  

  Yet in three weeks they’ll die out
    And I bet you’ll shout
  for joy as their shells go snap-crackle-crunch
    when your pet aardvark eats them for brunch
...

embrace the utterly fleeting nature of your
existence
for within moments you will disappear
& all that you think matters now
all your 
plans
for future endeavors, for relationships, for trips & 
attempts at ascension within some kind of 
labor structure---
they all are reduced to the head of 
a
needle---
& as the smoke from that last obliterating fire
you’re whisked away by the
wind....

wars of every size
man's compulsion
thru the ages

always motivated
somehow by greed
call it what you may

persecuting
bullying
harassing
invading
crushing
conquering

causing drama
creating grief
thriving on mayhem
survival of the fittest
in the jungle of life

obliterating harmony and peace
sowing the seeds of evil

I took a lot of photographs of you,
I wanted evidence, not just a memory.

I remember how you acted
as if it were no surprise at all
for us to be found together
on that same isolated beach.

Every day
we walked the same footsteps,
the same path over that shoreline,
until an alien tide roared in
obliterating all signs of
our when and where.

not even a picture of my washed-up
and broken camera....

Savior I pray you come to me, 
And this I ask on a bended knee; 
Could the skies and the galaxies
Give way through their obliterating fallacies, 
I would climb to your hallowed throne
Before all my breath  is gone.

But since this cannot to a mortal be given, 
 I gaze upon the lights that illumine your heaven; 
And pray that of your glorious volition to me you come, 
God's only son, His treasured Lamb....

fragrance barely softly tasted
garden such as earth has never seen
dreams a plenty clearly wasted
even if fantasy quite clearly mean

blossoms dripping wrath curiously
unknown entities arrive to cheer
demons tease benefactor’s generosity
hell has released his wife so dear

devilishly handsome, he awaits her wrath
flowers of his evil mind
obliterating her thoughts of hope or kind
fear fragrance wafting forevermore...
