Impotus Pew

Donald Trump went to church today
Ostensibly to kneel and pray
The vicar wept
As Donald slept
Trump snores sounded more like a bray ......

We Are Strangers Here

dark letters in
the book of secrets
revealed ostensibly
rain of fears on 
the field of unarmed
masses disturbingly
the last train leaves to
the white of the dawn
we are strangers here

FAKE

“Fake it till you make it”
Now the world reeks of fake
And the throng who hail it
Suffer no shame or ache
For the welcome we bade it
Ostensibly for our sake
Camouflages the first who said it
And in his wake
We live and believe it 
All fake, give or take 
Can’t stand it, can’t shun it
Just sincerely fake

I Alphabet Not

Mystically murky memories

Antagonize anyone and anything

Despite delving deep down

Each embellishment encompasses eternal envy

You yearn, yet…

Only one option opens

Understand, undertakings undo unambiguously

Live, laugh, love, let lie

Opt out of obligation

Offer open objections ostensibly

Knowledge kindles kindness

Denied 





With early sunset, the heart descends,
veils of dusk and inconstant eyes,
Set to return home, but one last flight,
as darkness tears and stains vibrant vibes,
My denied emotions ostensibly pretend.

I hope to be the most convenient thing for thee
Though in the flesh I’m still unreachable to you
But in ethereal sense you may rely on me
Recline on me, this may be helpful too
I walk the sunny streets habitual ways 
And like a watermark ostensibly shines through
the houses walls, the trees, there is your smiling face
Your dearest face I see, as if I am with you.

A Pondering Moment

a Pondering Moment
in the sensual hours of day...or night
can horrendously ache the mind

for every passing thought
leaves a sense of humane torment…or delight
they can ostensibly liquefy the heart

a split second of silence leads us back to the days
that we love so very much…or hate
and oh! how they tear ourselves apart

But we need them
These moments…
Keep us alive…or dead

Premium Member Jack and Jill, Scrutinized

Jack and Jill went up the hill,
a pail of water they would fill. 
I guess that is their story still.
It always was and always will, 

but, this reason given, ostensibly
does not hold up to scrutiny. 
Let's take another look and see,
and, so, rewrite history.

What do you think this couple did -
something good morals would forbid?
I think they wanted to be hid
from prying eyes, off the grid.

Freedom

Standing high atop a canyon wall, a rising, thermal current warmed my weathered face with gentle, smoothest, invisible fingers. Overhead a lone eagle glides effortlessly, circling, dipping downward, ostensibly playing. His iterate screeching echoes loudly through the narrow chasm. Genuine freedom on the wing but unaware how free he is; and I who deems to be as free knows that it’s only an ideal one that can never be achieved.

Premium Member Rhapsody of Colors

Onto peaks the setting sun has splashed its brilliant red.
Clouds cavort in the twilight's cerise as geese soar overhead.
Trees along the mountains’ ridges, trembling in the breeze,
Ostensibly flaunt leaves bright scarlet, tangerine and gold.
Beautiful and bedazzling, and the mundane now flees.
Eventide’s extravaganza, such bliss to behold -
Rhapsody of colors! Fall has me in its hold.
