Morning, you onerous tease
with your welcoming light
gifting illuminous sight
what have you brought forth
an awakening
to move and to hope
in the woe of day
but upright I fear not...

HEAVY

when the greatness of life
feels arduous under mass
weight of onerous days
we pray in tunes
of blue to blank
	out the blaze
		of vehement
			maladies
				that 
                                     plague

A-n onerous outbreak brings
L-ethal link to humanity; 
M-orbid mystery carries
A-ilment's virus so eerie.

R-abid risk of infection
A-ims to cause pain and ache; 
S-ilent sickness still spreads
C-orona's onerous
O-utbreak.

Lunar observation  -  vehement eclipse
Insolvable notions suffocate ideas. Dead ends.
Naked  - onerous  - torrent
Dilute obviate
Silent torment inside lost lacuna
Energize vexation   -   every rationalization
Yourself -  odious   -  unquiet

End.

I used to telemarket
Met a lot of would be actors and actresses there
The work was onerous 
not as onerous as some jobs 
Now I work at ESL and write verse
and articles
I plan to see the Brooklyn Cyclones play soon 
As for tea 
    I take mine green 
    I take mine 
    I take

in the silence of
your early fantasy dawn
breezy dreams of purple peach
i am eating you
your wavering thoughts indecision
onerous shadows of withering souls
i am eating
hidden flowers
of your turbulent heart
dwelling passion pride
unclogged tubes of vision
i am eating the freshness of
your laborious silence...

It doesn't matter what you look like
It doesn't matter what you feel
All that matters is where it lands
when you spin the wheel.
Where the blood splatters and
and finally congeals;
perhaps out back, in your garden. 
The neighbors would say:
'but he was so genteel...'
Onerous is the duty
of knowing what's real....

Coming back home.
On your own.
Morning mist.
In the rain.
Nothing is the same.
Get going, man,
Back home again.
Another time, a different person.
Cable cars move me down the road.
Kites torn and wet on the ground.
Hilltops in the haze.
Onerous and erroneous,
My acrostic a broken cheese grater.
Everything's greater at home....

Mystery was much better,

It was bit by bit some relation.

There was thinking,

There was feeling,

There was waiting.

Now nothing left except

Some unbearable unfitness.

Whom to I am weak

All sayings seems erring there.

Sometimes

Expression goes onerous,

Expression makes the end.

What else is new more?

Let me lit the light rather.

For me, for you too....

K-iller opponent in silence
A-ttacks the humankind; 
T-he threat of hazardous horror
H-asn't been far behind.
L-et the killer opponent
E-vaporate into oblivion; 
E-rase the onerous outbreak, 
N-egate the crowned contagion.

S-anitize your both hands, 
U-sing soap or detergent; 
E-liminate the dreaded dirt, 
S-top the killer
O-pponent.

The encumbrance of
life
Copious and
never-ending
A leaching
gangrenous wound
In need of
dismemberment
From his torpid soul

The medicinal
elixirs have raped
the mind
And replaced it with
a dense syrup 
That makes
cognition, onerous 
He cares for nothing
Feels nothing—is
nothing

A means to an end
Has him captivated
Fixated on the task
Relief is at hand
But he lacks the
strength and courage...

Deep inner turmoil rising in layers of morose fog
Eternally she seems to scream putrid nothings
Put your mind to rest in somnambulist serenity
Reaching forever to only waylay breath
Efface my eyes does she of beatific maudlin
Sallow spirit filled with lackadaisical laughter 
She steals away grins and gifts glower
Inane is the patron of life she echoes
Onerous is this bombination of melancholy 
Needless are we the companions of she...

Detected overpowering odour ascending by degrees
Rational thought dissolved in fear
Animalistic unearthly roar transpiring
Gigantic mockery of every living thing
Oblique it’s huge amber eye surveyed
Nostrils twitching rapidly to detect
Stagnant atmosphere all pervading
Tantamount aversion restrained
Onerous task to undertake
Nihilism mindfully conjured despair 
Extinction of human kind a possibility
