My eldest and youngest sons surprised me today
Unprovoked, both sons made an unexpected survey
In unison, they agreed
Their Christmas' did exceed
Their wildest dreams, heart-warming to hear to this day

Paranoia
Words… said behind my back
Fear… that he’ll never return my love
Anger… there’s no comfort in tears
Attacks… seem to come unprovoked
People… we don’t even know
Tension… always bestowed
Insanity… too many voices in my head

List
words
not quite seen
not quite heard
freely floating
drifting aimlessly
beyond a misty screen
directionless unmotivated
in collective solitude
until
an unprovoked spark
undirected unknowingly
seeks grasps
their trailing tendrils
orders and thrusts them
conjoined in breathless
wonder into something
more

Tonight’s Dinner Menu
Tonight’s dinner menu is:
one bowl of
in the manner of,
half a bowl of
in spite of
everything sprinkled with
spite of
small efforts and
small expectations, a plate of
another’s and
on the other hands, and
a tall glass of
the outcome of
a situation thought of
collectively as
morning unprovoked attacks.

When day becomes night
And night becomes day
The cycle continues
With less on display
For chapters reopen
And life unrehearsed
The card that you played
Was never dealt first
The life that you want
Is merely in reach
And wanting is lacking
While lacking is need
You've spoken much softer
Than many will know
But feeble the child
When he comes unprovoked

Rhyme
Untie knots of hate with...
Unconditional love.
Upsurge of violence,
Unreal! Asian folks
Under assault these days;
Unprovoked, outrageous!
Unity, what we need!

It attacked my life like a swarm of predatory wasps
Anger, regret, pain, confusion, to ruin me at all costs
unprovoked, vicious stings to my soul, many a tear
made me hollow inside, without joy, living in fear
Unable to run or hide for their venom is already within
To snipe at my belief, questions to drive reflection of sin
Should I seek reasons, or find solace needed in a friend
My friends helped win battles, and the war inside did end

Couplet
Grace once took me by the throat
And squeezed until I gave up Pride,
But Pride remained still unprovoked
As will began to slowly die
So faith stepped up and begged for hope
But hope preferred unstable waters,
Which brought despair on noose and rope
And silenced all I had that mattered
Yet faith prevailed, though by a smidge
As small and simple took the win,
For little triumphs made me rich
And progress I did find therein

Rhyme
Oh dreaded parasitic predator,
I yield to your flitting whim
and unannounced intrusion.
Innocently productive,
you carry on your quest,
unprovoked and unassuming.
But for your merited renown,
I take preemptive action
testifying to my regard.
The sport of a cautious hunt
prompts instinct and evasion,
no match for a well-aimed swat.
And with your final writhing twitch
I find a kind of sovereign triumph
in my gleeful, gloating grin.
