That sad decaying corpse 
Of western civilisation 
In the final throes 
Of cultural suicide...

and rashes back against the throes
prays aghast
he screams out No

tears of dust
o god no more...

the embattled soul
A transmutation
ennobled whole
In darkest throes

Herein the throes of our family's tragedy,
Herein our woeful daze, we're not the defeated
Nor victors; Simply the bearer's of tragedy.
Yes, Jonas was here; Thence we're the cheated....

Eager to be in the the throes of something
Glad to be gnashed by the tiger
Thrilled to retain my anger
For it is my most

He got the irksome hypochondria
His crazy mind cued in to pee
He was a loony, he must be
Shuttling in throes of polyuria.

Happy birthday, dear Jenny Rose, 
The world is a slave of trouble; 
Man cannot avoid woes and throes, 
Life is always in rise and fall.

Her panting 
Wheezing

Eyes, a second lid of Vaseline
Mouth gaping open

As if to scream out but
Nothing

Take your turn to clasp
For the last time

A last exhale
White as clean linen...

sun pours 
      molten gold
sky in throes of passion-
      the day dolls in
                  black dress

Frosty cold with a bone chilling wind,
the kind of day to just stay in..
The ground is frozen, crunchy but not slick.
Snow flurries blowing but none seem to stick.
Winter's throes arrived too quick.....

Immersed in the throes of a
Skinflint Scrooge syndrome… 
Enriching coffers, and yet
Renouncing to joys of life

parched-
dry of mind
my soul in throes
of dessication

wearily-
i march along
i stumble
and quite often trip

and struggle so-
to come to grips
o' for one,but one sweet sip
refreshing inspiration!...

Hope

Strong winds
Push the ship, sail!
Quest for knowledge foremost.
Then tempest ends discovery,
Hopeless!

Mid sea
The raft throes, row!
Land ahoy, destiny!
Sanctity of life, prevalent.
Hopeful!...
