This is where you’re resting
Came to tell you I miss you....

Noticed recently my readership is diminishing
Guess people find in my limericks, something's missing
The pathos, the drama
Or the ills of marijuana
Well, the ones still loyal, deserve my kissing!

Embracing pathos of pensive heart,
As elusive hope flickers in sullen eyes
Tears of despair feign vacant smiles.

storm surged from the sagged horizon 
mind’s visage turned to destemmed leaf...
rain drops rolled in rills
made a stream of tear.

activities of reality
pathos
 in
      reposed eternity
                     stranded

        nuances
in measured
        intervals
of
soft
luminosity...
