Beauty persists unnoticed
Even quite moments....

apart again
crestfallen within
my longing persists-
we dis-engage
into parallel lives...

Whilst the pessimist persists 
to resist the positive...
The optimist insists 
to dismiss the negative....

nothing  eternal, nothing  permanent
but love persists after
 for being a Gods way...

turbulence persists
       wave after wave every day
          somewhere life sails on

her wrinkles look at me as if in doubt
“have you seen my child about?”
perplexity persists

silence in the night
its chant persists
its melody beckoning
sweet guiles enchanting

Tainted souls and Twisted minds
Unfair world.
Vicious trolls win the polls
Withering honor that once stood strong
Yet Hope persists to right the wrong....

Ignorance is bliss
My house is burning
Ignorance insists
I not go learning

Ignorance persists
I'm not through yearning
Ignorance exists
a lot to spurning...

Said my Mind
Wicked eyes,
and an evil filthy mind 
will keep its provocation,
 and persists with devious intent.
So let the anger be - it is un-GODLY

I imagine that somewhere... exists---
(I'm not sure, but my theory persists)

Moms who read --what their kids read-- from school
Then... :-) they book-club about it -- how cool!!! :-D...

Precious paranoia persists
My mind is anxious
To die at this point in time
I have seven kills
While you own none
Yet my run from you is rampant
Though you’re up in your room
Uninterested...

Dark dull dawn
Sunset sad silhouette
After you’re gone

Pricking pain persists
Grief getting gross
You, still in dreams exist

Lonely long life
Sinking Spirit Subsists
Where, respite lies...

while words sour away into thin air
the writer persists
no at all by imagination
yet with a fistful of lies;
words transform the truth
sentences elope with dishonesty
the published book a fraud....

My heart still crumbles even now,
Fighting to move on some how.
Even with all the time that's past,
The hurt inside persists to last.
And as my days and nights collide,
I'm drawn within myself, I hide....

There is words,
nothing at all,
just a whisper of a dirty whore,
claiming your her victim sill,
demanding to be heard,
but the mind resists to let reality go,
even though the whore persists
she is the one to go...

I ride my life on camel backs
sit on python skin carpets
eat from ostrich egg-shells
sleep on ribs of fallen dogs
wear wooden overall dress
tongue chained by silence
but hope persists and thrives
Oh, the neglected in Africa!...

In my dreams
I am small
Flowers budding
Behind deaf ears
When I leave you
Inevitable in its longing
I wish to be
A grain of sand
In your hurricane
A leaf in your jungle
Hiding ripe fruit
Red as my tongue
Beneath low fronds....

Who can foretell
The heart swell
Tranquil wellness
One with Oneness

Heart & head align
As we divine entwined
Become a bliss mist
Where rapture persists

No coming
No going
Simply being
Thus pulsating

With joy

the secret
            dread..
reopened,a
chance
      happening..
trouble
disclosed-
        the discovery
        alienates,
the spell
         persists
long after
      it had dispersed..
reality remains..
          ...indifferent...

My truth is false,
a glittering overcoat with torn lining,
always catching on good intentions
and jamais vu,

but persona persists
anealed to the base elements
of slipping into a round hole
without scoring.

Time to be fashionable again....

I dreamt of you
And a thousand thoughts 
Came searing 

It's been some time 
But this madness persists
And it's jarring 

A one-sided delusion
With pangs of pain
At your intrusion 

Too tempted to regret 
Yet with all my strength 
I would rather forget...
