Bamboos are awesome
It bend when the wind smites
Such clever wisdom....

Mystique in that smile,
Ardency in those eyes,
Delicacy in porcelain skin,
Honesty in her voice, 
Uniqueness in her spirit,
Soul in her passion,
Mystery again in gestures,
Intricacies in her flaws and perfections,
Tenderness accentuates in all of her,
And again, her madding Mystique....

Blest heart of love*

smites greed dart angst

now reigns care part.

*2Thessalonians 3:5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

Around, all around,
the mourners gather.
My dread grows as
the angry hand of
heaven,
Falls against my
naked soul. It
smites me,
And darkly my
essence drips to the
wicked earth that is
my prison.
In a strange and
terrible glee, 
I beg forgiveness
while the reaper
takes my unwilling
hand,
Now alone, my
cascade of tears
falls upon uncaring
eyes.
This is my hell,...

The lyric deft and yet bereft, its logic baldly doffed:
an heir in err, a progeny ‘twas not untimely off’d.
In aggregate, the follicles that sprout the facial hair,
protrude a plain that’s primed for pain, as microbes nestle there.
To mow the glade with steely blade creates a field of woe;
the pain-free knight, his own mote smites, so mites midst hair might grow.

Might I'm wielding,
Coping dealing...
Blight unyielding,
Prying, peeling.

Writhing turning,
Twisting churning...
Mindless  yearning,
Lauding, purring.

Stomach keeling,
Curdling, reeling...
Now  repealing,
Good sense of being.

Thoughts  reverting,
Sleepless,  spurning...
Legs-a-stirring,
Nae adjourning.

Whipping wheeling,
Grip congealing...
Hope that  healing,
Smites these feelings....

She that brings fear to the hearts of men,
She that lifts up, then strikes down again,
She that, the children, the workers and wives 
Twists slow through their health her vicious knives,
And always, and always, she takes.

She in her coat that hides truth from their eyes,
She that holds mercy, but stands as he dies,
She that advances, and smites here and there,
And takes what she chooses with no thought for fair,
And always, some heart, she breaks....

Mind breaks out of fright
seeking peace with plight
needing freedom flight
escaping from gloom’s blight
to love's glowing delight...

Soul in despair, day and night
cries for blest caring sprite
against cursed weakening might
midst what’s unfair, not right...

Faith smites doubt's fight
sans heavenly insight
conquers pouting bite
from guilt’s route and cite…

Pride falls from towering height
heart yearns for God, source of light....
