I wish I could eat black garlic
Its so paradoxical
something axiomatic
eating sweetly caramelised
like an ironic joke
or a thwarted after dinner speech

thwarted are
your attempts to
sway me
simply put;
I have moved
on.
whatever
your motivation
may be
guaranteed,
I'm much too
strong.

Classicism
dark and ethereal
stark reminders of being
never tainted nor thwarted
ever present in light
deceptively absent otherwise
now unusable
these tethers
pray tell their value

Danger and Darkness Courted
Much danger and darkness courted;
What I could do is have it thwarted;
Never love;
Get rid of,
Or transported away and be aborted.

Expectation's a sure path to pain
First we cover our gaps with dreams
And let them dreams grow within
Tall, thick and feasible
Turning to purpose
Then obsession
That thwarted
Maddens,
Hurts.

plans thwarted
it is a routine life test
an opportunity to check
is heart contracted
or yet tranquil
God has designed
earth life so perfectly
optimised for soul growth
as we gentle responses
breath by breath thus

i've trapesed many cemeteries
all once wildlife sanctuaries
now rows and rows of houses
nature spurned, again thwarted
not one stone left unturned.
Missed the deadline for the 'Two Word Challenge - One Stone' :(

Running with the breeze
Gray cat and blue butterflies
Orange sunset skies
Zest meets curiosity
just to hear the ocean roar
Evening melodies
drift far on the floral air
as time slips away
A cool cat is at the shore
thwarted in purple shadows

I live in shadow,
a sweet sunflower
sown on the dark side
of your selfish need
to dominate each
spot of joy.
Stunted
and shriveled
my bloom is thwarted,
your need for nectar
to keep your black soul
satisfied
leaves me nearly dead.

Standing by the colosseum
Is the time of the last persecution
When the houses of Caesar
call out for revenge
Byzantine highways have lost their sheen
thwarted tall ships fall
and trumpets sound
relics of soldiers roam
you walk to your fate alone

My well-seasoned heart seeks love’s light
Years of heartbreak, thwarted romance
Harrowing each eternal night
A wall flower in life’s last dance

Attractive and interesting
Mannerless and disgusting
Extra judicial killer
Aren't you criminal?
You break law
Ha ha haw.
Note.Gangsters are often aggressive.
Lesson.Let it go mad man and free your mind.

Uncaptured sympathies
From the lost departed
No turning back
All plans are thwarted
Revelations and tears
Washed away with the rain
Forgotten tragedies
Unspoken in vain
Here I am a castaway
On a passengerless ship
Thanks for the freedom
No longer your whip

My days are dogged
by ankle-panthers,
my nights cursed
by the thwarted yowls
of sexual athletes.
I try to negotiate a way
into their affections
yet they scorn
chin tickles,
my hesitant ear petting.
They all strut away
tails stiff in the air
flashing me that old pink
one eye.

I gazed into a multi-colored sapphire, bright.
Its sparkles made my brain and heart take flight.
In a single instant, I was transported -
Some kinds of magic are never thwarted.
On an endless, timeless loop, I swiftly sailed,
As nature's enchanting majesty prevailed.

dog’s nose is twitching
whatever he’s smelling, I am missing
dog next door barks ferociously
my dogs used to run toward the fence
they have a pen now
there is less running
they have been thwarted
confined to a mere thousand square feet
angry because they used to run the entire neighborhood

’Twas Jonah the Lord God did teach,
When orders he opted to breach.
God’s porpoise not thwarted,
Escape was aborted,
With Jonah spit up on the beach.
If the fish had refused God right then,
Having tasted the flavor of men,
An immoral cetacean
That fell from creation,
Or a case of Original Fin?

Harassed,hasselled,harried
temporarily tarried
tormented and troubled.
Yet blessed !
Feeble,forlorn or friend-less
powerless,forsaken and distressed.
Yet blessed !
Beset,burdens to confess
suffering,perhaps oppressed.
Yet blessed !
Despondent and thwarted
in frustration and failure.
Yet blessed !

love has no conditions
no contract
no absolutes
no rules or regulations
love is automatic
she cannot be thwarted or obliterated
you cannot talk her out of herself
love demands freedom
she loves who she loves
she owes no one an explanation
or an apology
love is a soul feeling
she cannot help herself

Spirit will not be thwarted
it will move through even these circumstances
to call forth the truth
to bring about a healing that leads to wholeness
we are not alone
abandoned to darkness and confusion
but in our struggle with daily circumstance
grasp the essence of Source
and uncover our own tenacious hold on life

Witch Wilma’s accurate abracadabras no longer work
Wiley wizard had jinxed her, that mean little jerk!
She had to give up favorite kinds of bewitching
Which made her pimply purple nose go wild with twitching
Incantations and spells are now a thing of the past
Mumbo jumbo sabotage of that little creep better not last!

Persons finished with last breath rest in peace
All good souls become choirs of adoration
Royalty, earthly power left in dustbins here
All bodyguards and servants expelled
Direct communication to earth a taboo
Inmates talk without talking
Satan’s deception and conspiracy thwarted
Earthly pleasures and sorrows left in clouds

Labour wants new money
who will they rob ?
VAT on private schools
a start
Thwarted Environmental expenditure ?
Thumbled again
running chicken,
Their leader is such a bore
I want to snooze
!
Towns expanding on green ground
planning permission relaxed
Just realise Croydon was a Labour blueprint
and got Bankrupt thrice

When I and me become we
and times threaten reverse.
When we stay the course
in opposition to today's prevail
of the self serving I with no remorse.
We can raise the standard
and then the cup on high
for we have thwarted the arrogant I.
Having done so we are rewarded
with a depth of understanding
and the wonder of a greater WE.
