World Is Powerless

world raw in anguish titans warring and mortals dying powerless to change or choosing, knowing choices bring grave requiems

Dying In Autumn

The misty sky above,
shelters the trees with its unforgiving grip.

The wind sings requiems unheard, 
and tells tales long untold.

Leaves lay interwoven, 
 surrounding me.

Singes of ash from a fire so warm,
a fire in which I bathed not too long ago.

Autumn is a season like no other,
and cold is its sombre song. 

As my soul withers away, 
no longer tethered and trapped.

I laugh with glee,
"Oh! I see I am free"

Music uplift my heart
Disperse distress,down cast depart;
Vivaldi on Venetian violin
In concerto,cello and mandolin.

Music enlarge my mind
Reminece and then remind;
In Mahler's opus strong
Adagio,lieder and song.

Music to suit my every mood
In valued secluded solitude;
Satie and Pachebel
Motifs that haunt and indwell.

Music tingling my spine
As emotions re-align;
Choral and slow requiems
In pleasing dulcet diadem.

I Have Started Using Firewood

Crosscheck with An Honest Magazine
Price of liter of kerosene:
What it costs to upload ten poems,
I hate: Thief!” leading to requiems,
Poet to freely leave Cybercafé,
And at home drink Calming Nescafe…

So, I’ve started using firewood,
Where piles of Good Ones stand have I stood:
On this day the Twenty-First-August 
No shame asking Ant to be My Guest…

But-Gosh!-Cruel Smoke for Unprepared Lungs
Please, pray, I don’t start speaking in tongues!
