while fantasizing my reveries
auscultating to silences, expecting for pledges
the infant I was, told me au revoir !...

I have no pledges just
indulgences.

I live in fatherless harmony,
a puppet with no strings.

a laughing kiss created in danger.
and abuse...

If we stayed young
and didn’t age
would marriage last
to turn the page

Would love endure
and pledges stay
with time becalmed
— and youth sustained

The cicadas proliferate habits

   Are akin to promiscuous rabbits

      They have infested the land

         And its gittin' outta hand

            They should observe the pledges of abbots...

Promises are bestowed
Pledges made from their hearts
Precious vows of marriage
Proclaiming troths of love
Plighted to each other
Personified with rings
Partners 'til death do part

Twinge though sans words

Mirrored through her face

Indeed, she has a broken ring



White truth reveals itself

Euphonic blissful pledges

Resembling day but an evening



Now, her derelict heart reciting dirge

Reflecting dark tune

Her eyes can only sing...

Broken promises a continual disgrace,
Truth is told no lies hidden anymore;
Regrets are shown clearly on a hard face.

Broken promises a continual disgrace,
Words are spoken in anger out of place;
Nothing will ever be the same as before.

Broken promises a continual disgrace,
Truth is told no lies hidden anymore....

Through the street's cuts and edges
Divided by rolling, speeding wedges,

Rain hastily sears the worn hedges,
As well as dusty, solemn pledges.
A flood comes to consume

Benches melt and lamposts bend into canes
With a flickering end

A city meets it's disintegrating end
Before one can count to ten.
Acid rain strikes again....

The flowers of apricots blossomed again
As the color of the cheeks I saw years ago
And the murmurs they had hoped to show
And the feelings made me love the springs

How many times I should wait here as this
For the miracles appearing in the breezes
And for the readiness of making pledges
And making sure each youth full of cheers...

Moods… 
Machiavellian moods are moods of plan.
They are also mood tp satisfied their ego some that always.
Ad hominem per personnel or nepotisms are self to claim or self hears to hands pledges.
Lover in micro ways are observatory for epochs essays.
Epoch making are wrong or right.
Some of us have moods.
Hatred mind are very sharp and acute....

a thousand colours above my head
pale and flaky
am i a guest?
i asked for a full moon
my pledges unheeded
o my god what am i to be
guster of leaves
a little light filtering
they sound bland to me
cold oars shake a moment,
the spirit of blackness is in us
life is a valedictory meanness
a thousand voices peer their rectitude

bruised brush bled
oozing, drooling dreg
puked pulpy pledges
wielded wits etches
hankering zeal hoisted
dribbling fiery drills

yearning fingers flickers
dragging moaning meter
delicate gaze glisters 

gaunt grasped gibes 
itching dainty drive
mystic art's aisle

crisp contractions yawns
pluming porous pawn.

A heart

Made not of iron
A heart opened
Unfastened not like a hole
A love to pierce in grace
And a heavy entrance deeper

An openly heart
A receiving way is ready
Approached to be hurt
By then with a lady
Totally trouble-freely!

Appearing nothing
Without trial
A work of a soul denial
Give me nothing

Governmental opponents
Governing climaxes’ on fake pledges...

Curvaceous beauty, she knows not her strength
Offsets gentleman to edge of his brink.
Then she captures soul with her sweet smile.
Our hero stretches to his tallest length.
Heroine’s face flushes a pretty pink.
Their love can be seen a country mile.
She pledges her love forever more.
As she cannot resist our hero fair.
Who can throw pink roses down the aisle?
That is what dainty flower girls are for....

pathetic,
pitiful &
pigheaded
perry
peddling his
propaganda by
preying on the
populace,
painting a
picture of the
“popular
pious
politician,” who
profanely
prays for
profit,
professing his
partisan
poisonous
pledges to the
predominant
party leaders,
potential donors &
practioners in his
parish of 
paranoid
pro-lifers & anti-gay rights
pontificators, who are
pushing for his
potential run in the republican presidential

Forever the shadow, tangled light
Held in place by invisible edges
And there the slanted, stumbled plight
Echoes of always repeating pledges

Under the dawn, where eyes don't see
Where caresses sooth the rebel
Reality listens, hears a dampened plea
Heard by the ear shaped pebble

No-one is bound or prevented to leave
Each of us settled, sedated
Looking for semblance of self to retrieve
In the existence that we created...

Solstice perennial deed
Vivid blush ingrain seed
Reverence of times past
Pledges for battles cast

Lulling heads, utmost grave
Reverence for services gave
Abloom on war-torn fields
Long ago sacrifice yields

Acclaimed soldier's might
Noble tis honorable fight
For whom bell tolls
Poppies laurel lost souls

Doleful meadow bloodred
Tally those who bled
Rustic fields gently sway
‘Neath skies somber gray

Hands hold, faces face
Eyes embrace, distance dissolves
Time stops, love lingers.

Hands hang, faces warp
Eyes glare, bridges burn
Past crashes, time aborts.

Minds mangle, hearts abrade
Egos blaze, identity incinerates
Pledges perish, bonds break.

Road deserted, journey desolate 
Present pines, future forlorn 
Change reigns, time rues.

It is relentlessly our intent
To do the right thing.
Why then do we relent—
A bird with broken wing?

We make earnest pledges
Vowing to fly higher.
But they fray at the edges—
Caught in self-made mire.

We would strive to be
A friend of welcoming ways.
Except they quickly flee—
Gliding through wasted days.

We pray for a resolution
To these earth-bound misses.
But we forestall a solution—
Opting for self-inflicted hisses....

Sickeningly unstable,
disheartened we stand 
like brave little cowards
with solid, shaky hands.

We make declarations out loud,
oaths beautifully fall out of 
our mouths.
Even the most significant pledges cannot be guaranteed
as our minds think up promises our hearts can't keep.
We're just a slew of hearts,
pounding no good hearts.
We're just a slew of hearts.

We're just a bunch of slayed, pounded hearts.
Just a slew of hearts....

For years we’ve each lived in such a way
To now appreciate and adore
Each other’s company every day
With heartfelt feelings we can’t ignore

Lives intertwining without delay
Sure to share our love forever more
This past year’s been grand if I may say
Our talks have stirred me fast to my core

Your touch electrifies in a way
Great assurance that you will never bore
The ring I gave you pledges today 
My love for you and many years more...

Oh My love,
for pennies thou did flee;
in a dream, it was told to me,
it was not for love you
strayed away,
you somehow forgot those
pledges made.
You, my love, were wooed
by silver and gold,
it was in a dream, this to me
you told.
Now this sad song to my heart I sing,
Money, money, Money!
A sorrowful thing.
Was it wrong of me, not to heeed your plea?
Or were you wrong to sacrifice so much 
for so little...
Now I am free!

Just a ribbon of blue ragged at the edges. 
Nearly ruined by empty politians pledges.
Just look to the skys, the expance of the heavans.
Damaged by the needs of business and the avrice of nations. 
You and me cant breath pounds and pennys 
We need the thin blue ribbon, not rich politians
Stop global warming or  face the consequeues    
Lets  look after that  blue ribbon, thats so beatiful when viewed from a space station.

Abundant expressions tender recurring themes
Of misplaced pledges resigned and destitute  
A sole endearment resides in striking gleam 
As only my eyes in blindness could
They crave the sound of a graceful name
A place for doubt to crouch and bleed
the remnants of sad songs and hidden strain
and release beyond and positively repeat…
That I dream in red not of blood
But of roses aware and sensing that
in you the same cannot be said,
In me the rose’s petals spread...
