As delusions replace memories. 

I don’t understand how I got these enemies. 

It’s not fair, not really…

My thoughts had just become unwieldy. 

My blood was at a simmer. 

And my mind was getting dimmer. 

All I have is scared. 

All I am is impaired....

Pasty delicacy
demands protection
since succulent
taunts beasts
roaming wilderness
gripped by hunger

until revelation
pivots the victim
aggressive arguing
defensive while
harnessing feral
hungers unwieldy

with megatons
securing leverage
against savage
hidden wandering
enemies disguised
behind amity....

Our back cupboard, the one which lies above 
the microwave, houses backup coffee
cups, with faded image of turtle doves
or like the camel cup just unwieldy.
Others with flaws, cracks or broken handles 
patiently waiting for someday repair
holding memories some might say shambles
patiently waiting for someday repair....

Unbidden you deserted our happy home.

Unforgivable the things you left unsaid.

Understandably our children were undone.

Unapologetically I refuse you entry. 

Under no circumstances upstart.

Unbroken now my broken heart.

Unwieldy unyielding you will find.

Unlikely I will change my mind.

Unless you fall down on your knees.

Unendingly  begging of me "Please"....

Guilt is a heavy load 
     A conscience can only carry
                  For so long
      Before it collapses under 
     It's unwieldy encumbrance
       A pressure on the lungs
     Pushing out air, threatening 
    To smother and deflate them
          Completely of oxygen

When your path in life you have lost,
	The road I shall guide you to.
When your belief in oneself you doubted,
	Your confidence I shall restore.
When unwieldy as life may seem,
	Your burden, no matter the weight, I shall carry.
When your capabilities are doubted by others,
	Believe in you for all time I shall.
When all your friends are but gone,
	A loyal companion I shall remain.
No matter the weather or danger, if you need my help,
	Always there, remember I shall be....

Finding myself devastated in the middle of the run, 
I built up the courage to start with the new rising sun. 
With thoughts of all the encountered failure coming one by one, 
Making my life look like a piece of pavement unwieldy done, 
I snuggled up with a few achievements, leaving behind none 

With a tint of fear, 
With a skeptical attitude towards the coming year. 
I was bolstered up with a lot of cheer. 
The importance of treating the ends as a start dawned on my broken tears....
