words are powerful
when used correctly they move
but trump them does death
reducing thoughts to mere tears
as the words forever fade

Makes one count syllables, and yet
Flows from one line to the next
While making sense of text,
Each line reducing
Syllablcally,
Producing
A terse
Verse....

mocking the sight of Tom, Harry and Dick
reducing to laughter
their before and after
bursting the bubbles of needleless pricks.

Reducing his wife to constant tears,
At wits end she put a peg on his nose
To stop where the emanating air noise grows,
But unfortunately it blew off both of his ears....

Suicidal! his own problem
The wrought of his failures
Reducing himself
His deceiving pleasures
The trials
And temptations
He succumbed 
The remorse
His down fall!
Leading to his back fall
All is himself
Self war
Suicidal!

Insisting one might was well be dead
Feasting upon dark emotional words
This is how the young have been led
Magnetic this compass for the birds
Signal sent be that of infrared 
Drawing them all in by the herds
This be part of their pseudoscience 
By misusing the cognitive science...

Gigantic pain reducing gun
Heaving hearty hullabaloo

Real flavor boost for life's fondue....

What difference does my endless pool of excuses make?

Do I not realize that my inarticulate sigh of agony 
is diluted in a sea of decomposing silence, 
with negative noise foaming at the pores of particle nonsense, 
and false memories of perfect bliss,
 in the process of reducing me
 to utterly insignificant screeching?...

respectable break
relaxed and refreshed
readily rejuvenated
responsible respite
reluctantly retiring 
rapidly unwinding 
relieved of day to day duties
reducing  stagnation
ready for a well-earned hiatus 
recall joy found during the last one

As we slowly soften attention
simply looking about in gentleness
empathy tuning into subtler vibrations 
we feel impacted by misaligned consciousness 

This anomaly of contraction is easily corrected
by reducing identity borne attachment 
recognition having ego deselected
thus nestled in contentment
