I choke in my dreams
I’m struggling so it seams
A conflict with me and the inner me
Unblock this plague and let my words free

Why?

Unexpected thoughts
Plague the mind we know today.
Thinking of things that
We dont want to ponder 'bout
Like, "Why must we all die?"

Truth is as much a plague for the lips of falsehood as are lies a plague for the soul!

Their importance too difficult to guage
sadly both dying of the plague

died in the forgotten plague
of the last century*
I sit musing under the cherry
startled  by a white possum

The Plague

Who brought us the plague?
"The strangers", they cried - "kill them!"
And the plague just laughed.

The Egg

The Easter bunny found an egg
Turn around and named it Kreg
She kept the egg together
Through all kinds of weather
But, the egg gave the bunny a plague

They lined the streets with bodies ~ we'd been cursed with a modern day black plague.

Plague Crime

Tonight also I heard,
My heart beat with your feet arch
Both were in rhyme
You can see this injustice
Here is a crime plagues
To write your name in my poem

Bedding

Suns. Most often moons.
Slithering like a plague
From a craving nowhere
To a playful peephole
Which the poet himself can’t find.
Now it’s there—
Stains!
Now, what?

This Life

This Life 

Soon a plague of unbearable insanity 
Will wreak havoc upon humanity
Misery, murder, and endless strife
Famine and drought 
Will torture this life
Form: Rhyme

Doubt

A viral plague, it is. 
Dishonesty; a sweet epidemy, 
which all has its' take, 
upon the soul of all. 
Never, looking at upheaval,yet, 
sight-seeking for downfall.

Donald Does China

"A plague on your houses!" she cried
When told her true love had just died
Tears rolled down her lashes
For there were no ashes
Since her love was just, "Pet re-fried"

covid 19
suffering and death
souls heading to heaven in mass quantities
vampires and freeway car pile-ups have done less damage

Corona Beast

When all worry and fretting has ceased,
in the North, South, West and the East,
we’ll look back on this day
and triumphantly say:
“’Twas a plague, but we conquered the beast."

Mind movies in Kodachrome
and vibrant technicolour 
set to rewind
Whenever shades of negative
monochrome
dampen the spirit
and plague the mind.

Loving You Is Impossible

I try to strike a relationship
with you

The next thing you approach my wife
in a vengeful attitude
telling her everything
about us

You've become
a plague I so fear
to associate with
Form: Verse

Fears

My
mind
is filled
with a lot
of anixety
thoughts of abandonment plague me
I am terrfied of not having a family
I ruminate about my fears every waking hour because I cannot stop
Form: Fibonacci

Faith

faith wanes
questions plague
clouds form
monsoons rain

lightning flash
thunder cracks
constant turmoil
wounds rehashed

sun shines
moon glows
ceiling stars
after the storm

Rising

Like an oath to quit
Or a plague from below
I become blindfolded
To the sickening
Pain
Deep in the soul

Dark hate
Consumes
Her heart
Like a black hole
In the universe
Of life

The Cure

Have a great birthday, dear Rhea, 
The world truly needs God's support; 
The plague caused mass hysteria, 
The cure carries joy and comfort.
