In the crepuscular halcyon sunset, bells tolled urging the desultory audience to attend the sermon of the new pastor. Despite their cynical sentiments, they dared not absent themselves. The look of visceral satisfaction on the pastor’s face was unmistakable. Outside light became penumbra, Still, men and women trudged towards the chapel as the dirge-like bells faded into silence. ...

I once was apprentice to heaven’s top man His blackboard showed humans were still just a plan He’d outlined this thing he was calling a tongue And sketched all the teeth it would nestle among Although I was scared it could cost me my job I told him you can’t put that thing in their gob ‘Why not?’ said the...

Speak No Evil
Speak No Evil As I sit enjoying the penumbra of the crepuscular sky, Suddenly all hell breaks loose, as I hear a sonorous cry. “I have no room for jealousy or a cynical upheaval!” With exuberant energy, my quick response, yet, I Speak No Evil! Matters not the visceral thought behind this desultory exchange, All minds clear, with visual halcyon...

When crepuscular shadows loomed in a bay to grate upon this opulent view’s grandeur, my visceral thoughts reeled like windmills where breaths heaved low, desultory the mind. Gazing at Anger, doubts replayed a cynical past, in lone sojourn...winds hummed,” speak no evil” yet, penumbra of waves turned desultory. Until a hundred stars bathed my eyes whole, kindling exuberant rays, to console love’s blow; and...

Speak No Evil
The touch of their slice bleeds out my exuberant self As the pain they bring within, into anger ferments A hot spring of words akin to crepuscular hues bursts within But before my mouth can utter, consciousness becomes visceral And a blanket of penumbra covers my imploring, hurtful words My desultory state is taken back to halcyon...

Six slovenly inebriated men engage in their regular crepuscular activity nursing their beers with desultory chit-chat in the penumbra of a local restaurant. One man, whose jealousy of those with opulent lives makes him the most cynical, is pontificating about the idle rich who live off the backs of the poor when he eyes an exuberant woman with...

With visceral conviction, I say, speak no evil, Oh, the jealousy consumed; Like crepuscular insects you hide deceitful, I wish for a halcyon day with peaceful people. And keep your cynical disillusioned opinions, Your penumbra shadows dim my illumination; Sonorous, my voice- stay away from my dominion, Give my opulent,...

See, Hear Or Speak No Evil
We should see no evil the teachers taught us. School faculty had butter, we margarine, They relished the toasted white, while we ate brown bread; Always on the wrong we suffered they were Right. Ringing roll call bells we heard in the line up House master to walk a sharp eyed inspection; Pulling out those loose tie...
