I accede to 
licking the suburban carpet clean under 
my bed following the 
resignation of 
my vacuum.

His

hormones seethe

Warm, golden
Gazing, longing, tempting
Diet, restrained, guilt, resignation
Biting, chewing, swallowing
Moist, delicious

No crossed legs
No crossed arms
No crossed eyes

No closed circuits
Why?

Poor circulation
Limited creation
From crossed parts
Let there be resignation...

Resignation

forbearance today
as elder minds bathe at noon
eyes are passive while
hands fold in acceptance of
a quiet resignation

Trees
Are bare
With sky holes
A solemn gray
Like Whistler’s Mother    calm resignation

Leaves
Flutter
In the wind
Drop one by one
We find the autumn smoke from field and hearth...

Stoicism defines
Accepting situations
Presented by teacher
Known as experiences 
Result of life aftermath

You win.  I withdraw.
I acknowledge your terms.
Embrace my weak flesh.
Love me that I may admit
Defeat.  Make your will be done.

The earth now dry and cracked, like shattered glass upon the floor
Clouds hover over the mountains, refusing to cross the plain
Earth begs, then in resignation turns to dust and blows away...

Accepting Godsend afflictions with resignation is fortitude 

But

Tolerating Man-made suffering without a fight is cowardice!

In the game, 
to the winner,
the victory,
to the loser
the defeat... !
At the finale of life,
 the same prize
and reward:
The mortuary coffin,
means of transport
to eternal life...!...

pond geese are leaving
for places I long to go….

An Olympics Committee official said
          "Women talk too much in meetings"
       His resignation is being loudly demanded

       Were a woman to say the same about men
          ~ She might even be reprimanded...

Culture Prison

freedom
we all seek..
searching for that
which will make us
free..
when not discovered
resignation reigns
and quiet desperation
begins new searching
until an Abruptness
in a moment
sets us free......

When in-ept come's to reason
And stillness run threw my mind
I then resonate...
     ----
Leaving me spellbound
       Non the less 
So lost and empty
    ----
I soon ask myselt
     The reason why
And rightfully so!

I deleted your number from my phone
I wish I could say it broke my heart
With a sigh of resignation
the buttons were pressed
and you were gone.
What a weight off my sad heart
to know I couldn't call,
What a stone to carry
to know I wanted it all....

FEBRUARY

Fiercely independent these
Eclectic February days.
Bravado, masked in the madness of
Revelry’s raucous, windy,
Ululations bowing the
Aspens in prayerful
Resignation to the simmering
Yearnings of Spring.

Velvet toned
Air...silken wonder
She played
upon a stone throne

Jeweled by sea and sun

frolicking from one foot to the other
Thier hands always touching

a sacred reverence

Little was known 
of later's
dark resignation
in those days of white...

Blood Deep

a placidity of pain
softens lines in resignation
layers her beauty
like actors makeup
sadness dusted like powder
to finish her night face

during the day
living removes all
but those stains
too deep in her blood
held holy close
her smile never reaches her eyes....

The Disaster.

When you play the helpless victim,
making me out to be a whore.

I'll move out of the equation,
Your fantasy villain, no more!

When I feel like a worthless slave,
that disappointed his master

Please accept my resignation,

Yours’s Faithfully, 

The GrandMaster....
