Hope a firm raft is
 
Sailing over the rough seas

Among parlous riffs,
 
Determined to reach the shores

Of dreams' realization!*

Place where they  have a lot of nerve;
Should surely see the way they curve;
My big buckle,
Said knuckle;
They do it with much  vive and verve.

Parlous Vaux cantata....

A fierce inferno
The entice of gunshots
Engulfed by your worst nightmare
Wake up! Wake up!

Submersion of you consciousness
In which we have no valid control.
Hallucinations flash and tear down common reminiscence
Wake up! Wake up!

Parlous or peace
Which will past the test of slumber?...

I cry out boldly in the night
In the darkness there so bright
Standing stripped of moral might
Looking back with perfect sight

Slender rays of stars swift flight
Pierce my weeping soul with smite
Alone inside unbridled fright
I roam within this parlous plight

In panic’s metered dirge,
           A sentinel of hope;
          Amid a parlous surge,
      One swirling lumened rope.

   Vexed vessels churn and gaze,
         In rabid waves of froth,
       For safety’s tethered rays,
  Through nature’s taloned swath.

 One hopes that through the rage,
      Lost souls will see the light;
   Veer toward that flickered sage
      …Escape Poseidon’s smite.
