In the middle of the mess, frightful loss:

wonder of wonders (!): quality of mercy

--- Mythologem of Mythologems ---

sudden succor reappears once again.

Need to step back and rethink things here
Living high off the hog, too high it appears
Must reassess
Do with much less
Get back to my roots and sanity reappears...

It’s true, tomorrow never comes;
In the last seconds of the day,
When darkness reigns
And moonbeams play,
When tomorrow’s late approach
So inevitably nears,
It’s today, not tomorrow,
That so freshly reappears....

Jack doesn't smile 24/7, sometimes he's a mean old grouch
So Cathie says, “till you're happy again, go sit on the couch!”
He mumbles and sneers
A spoiled brat he appears
Till a dirty big grin reappears on his snout...

Time can not destroy it.
I am that love.
Time can not touch me.
Time but changes the form.
Somewhere in some time it will return.
When you least expect it,
the face of a love one reappears.
Look beyond the face and you will find me....

The drunken child-- she emulates the moon.
The stench of perfume and alcohol 
fills the stage upon which the actors observe,
her drunken swerve.

She fades and reappears faster than 
a bird at dawn, she is not tame--
No! she is not tame...

dust is endless
no matter how hard
I try to wipe it away,
it returns like a bad
memory which refuses
to be erased and
reappears in the middle
of the night as an old
black and white movie
which keeps showing
the same scene over
and over until I search
for the remote which
fell on the dusty floor...

She twirls, swirls, dips and sways
In exotic costumes of satin and tulle
She leaps into the air her arms fluttering
Her pirouettes leave audiences stuttering
Into the wings she glides with grace
Then reappears to thunderous applause
An experience filled with fun and delight
Only at the ballet can we see such a sight.

"hear the train"?
he lifts
 his head
and listens
thinks
yes he thinks
he knows one of his boys
is coming by train
but when
this boy disappears
without any warning and reappears
that way too
smelling different, not like home
but still....
no way for Red to know
but he knows
the sound of the train 
means he might be coming
today?
is it today?...

Nibbling at a piece of moon
I lost the zero line
of my violence
mapping the lone
jungle.

The waning light
flaunting the peaks
for docking
the missile
in dark.

The body of water, 
prior to the tempest, 
will invite the brown
creator to pull
the ropes.

The past reappears,
shows presence. I
search word anchors
to reach
buoyancy.

Happy Thanksgivukkah!
Latkes and turkey!
Protocol here is
A little bit murky.

It hasn't happened
For thousands of years
And we'll all be dead
Before it reappears.

So watch all your football
And spin your  best dreidel.
Slurp up that pumpkin soup
With some kneidel.

Savor these holidays;
Celebrate twice,
'Cause having Thanksgivukkah's
'Specially nice!...

Friendships always come and go
Sometimes they fade for years
But nothing beats the hope and joy
When a friendship reappears

Some friends are just like wishes
They are there at the right times
They know your life completely
All the verses, lines and rhymes

So treasure friendship wishes
Because however far they go
Wishes come back to the best of us
To the safety and love they know...

Under the moonlit sky
The ripe rose stands majestically
deep down she understands 
that time is upon her once again 
As the folklore goes
with the dark moon 
she sheds her deep red petals
one by one they all fall
left bare she stoops
hiding the welling tears 
of losing her precious children
once again
holding onto hope
of having them back soon
When the full moon reappears...

Mighty tree, it is that time of year.
All your leaves must fall down.
People know about your sap so sweet.
Love the way it tastes.  It’s great to eat.
Every year, autumn must come around.

This is another fall, but do not fear.
Rest you must until spring reappears.
End must come for your leaves that were green.
Either they are brown or red when on the ground.
