Short Profaned Poems

I love you—I hate you,
  now one and the same

Betrothed to a heartache,
  all feeling profaned 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2017)...

A sentence or two, nothing more.
Five rhymes, and then back out the door.
A meter that’s strained,
Some topic profaned:
Ah me! What’s a limerick for?

    the public thoroughfare
      pummeled, profaned
    verbal fists rumble from 
      amped-up throats...  

    a generation or two
      with nothing better to do
    than scream at the intersection 
      of decline and decay

Bubbling up through the surface,
  one truth leaches out

Like a word long forbidden,
  oft whispered—it shouts

Rising up to the heavens,
  its message proclaims

“The eruption has started,
   redemption profaned”

Whether it is now some folks’ habit
Or a lifestyle to try a bit,
You should begin to inhibit
The thoughtless actions others exhibit...

For here in Ariel we actively prohibit
Lovers having to cohabit
And should be the last to simply sit
While lovers below the belt chastity hit
Making the still-not-profaned their teeth grit....

erred against God's omnipotent will
sacrosanct commandments profaned
myriad chances bestowed
squandered - still sins exist
all are imperfect
but must do good
now, squealing
being
JUDGED.

Discordant scissors cuts a ribbon
Pleasure of a man destroys
Nature bows to indiscretion
Reality deceit deploys

With glee, they break the ground
To set an edifice to man’s ambition
Forever ruined with proposition 
Field and flowers sacrificed

Breached to bent insanity
Evolves a place profaned
Glowering graceless vanity
Imprisons the insane...

The voice of one 
Crying in the Glade:
We are not safe,
We are being molested
And assaulted sexually;

We are not safe here,
We have sex without consent;
Angry dogs in the society
Have taken away our 
Sexual prerogatives:

Our marriage privileges
Have been profaned,
Our future is in jeopardy:

The girl child screams:
Save us, oh Lord!
Protect us from the
Hands of these angry dogs...

Vision
A zephyr with 
breaths of April after rain
whispered: 
   “sleep not this summer day.”
He stirred, woke up 
and saw a heavenly face
eyes blue as the sky
and the skin of the apparition 
had the hue of 
un-profaned lips
only the newly born possess.
He smiled reached out
to touch the divine being,
but it had disappeared in a miasma
of the everlasting,
but leaving behind a hope as sweet
scent of jasmine....
