Than to challenge his beliefs. 
How wan and drear my dreaded fear

wan ivory keys

Black-white enigma
Benign  real time elan
Banishing time-worn ‘breaks’ over a WAN

As the days trudge along, old wounds heal
Slowly; yet the fresh dew of the pain 
On the hearts open field…
Will the pain ever stop? Will it ever wan?...

To explain in detail, is to take away,

away from the feelings I wan to convey

My heart is inspired for a short burst of time,

so I must find the words quick, and make them rhyme....

cuddling the new pink bunny
her wan face lights up

Oops, I recalled your face,
Ashen and wan;
You were petrified,
Shocked with drumbeat hearts.

'Goosh,' it sounded
as it slipped out
of your grab.
Down the drain it went,
Into the hall of shame....

Ghastly
Ghostly
Chilly
Tingly
Pale and wan the ghastly, ghostly be
Made a scared and chilly, tingly me.

Rusty glow hovers—
setting sun’s wan glint
yields to grasp of night—
terms of surrender, resolute.

Halfway round the compass rose,
paling rays summon fleeting
alpenglow, fading echo of
dwindling winter snow....

My brain is emptied ,
My soul is faint,
I miss my muse,
I need some rest,
When I think of something,
This one pops in my head,
I want a bowl of soup,
I need a dose to take,
I miss everybody,
I wan to write and back again....

The sun smiles a greeting at me
I meet his wan rays graciously
unblinded, unbowed
unblinking -- 
I hold the cards now
in December
the sun's played his hand --
Pale, absent fire
he slips
inconspicuously 
below the horizon...

Wan shades 
of carmine and carnelian
Dying in a sunset’s 
languid demise
The flame of pink, 
the smoke of lavender
Grudgingly giving rise…to
Final feeble glowing light 
of velvety purple 
Then to Ebon soot of night

...

I'm not big in size
But I can do more
House of gold for you
And for everyone
Shelter I provide

Just call my name 
I'll be around
Believe in me
My word in me

Rain or shine
Bright or wan
I'll be there

A friend
Promise

Me...

In a dim, desolate bog,
between the wavering shadows,
a violet shows its clear blue face
to the wan, desultory sun—
a sweet, pristine reminder
of perennial rotations—
rebirth, dissolution,
waxing from the waning;
all haunting and sublime....

There once was a man from Evely Wan Wun
Who walked around with what look like his son
Women would stroke the boys head
Shaking with delight he said
“It’s not me son, but keep stroking I’m having fun

breath, gone
you drip moonlight
blue, wan ...

thru shades -
skin and tresses
soft braids

cede sleep
limbs and percale
swim ... deep.

I do miss him now that he has gone
He finally left during dawn
To him I always was drawn
He made me feel a pawn
He left by the lawn
There was a swan
He’s don juan
I’m wan
Yawn
