                          Lost

The sun sinks low, the shadows grow,
No moon is out up high,
A chilling breeze begins to blow,
With stars up in the sky;

I wearily wade my way in

Strains of fate

The strain on the strains of fate
Unseen forces pull
Trying to tug us their way
I anchor myself
I bend not to others will

Strains of Aite

Sorplaisitese was his name
he was moderatly poor
and happy. He had aweful luck
with woman. So he thought.
One day he meet one of his
former female freinds
and became wise
to plots against him.
He learned his family members
would corner his female freinds
and ask had he consamated there
relationship citing a faith that lead him
to beleive certain things.
This would
make spectical of him

INFLUENTIAL STRAINS

 this legacy
exuberant
recherche
    collude
the deliberate needs
an arcadia
inhabited
by
   primal beauty
darkened 
  glowering
reminiscent of
  decay

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

The Strains of Skies

Merriment has bustled ever so brightly.
You are one who was taken so timely.
Lost inside the strains of skies.

Over above is where you are.
Vast and lonesome, so very far.
Eternally so, until we are one.

New Strains

The God of Pandemics is silly
Displaying less sense than a lily
The rest of us know
The virus can't grow
Where no one has a 6' willie!

Premium MemberStrains of Interpretation

The bond between our eyes and heart 
     sometimes is not so strong;
the heart may fool our vision's part-
     conducting its own song.

The bond between our mind and soul,
     half-hearted, blend each view;
the soul can shade the mind's eyehole-

Death In the Midst of Pain Strains

For lives lived in perennial pain in strain rain
Death delivers droves of reinvented relief
Cutting corners from trains of painted pain
Accumulated at the hands of a throng thief.

Death delivers droves of reinvented relief
In the midst of indifference insisted upon in each instance
Accumulated at the hands of a throng thief
Clad in clothes claiming to restore bliss balance.

In

Start with good cheer


Prime pretty page
Wise words now stage


Please simple flight
Dream sure and light


Prompt profound say
Soul shows the way


Round and round keep
Mellow thoughts deep


Feel surge of urge
Let joy emerge

Sense fine music
Show grand mystic


Live well each peak
As magic speaks


Watch love now grow
As rapture shows


Forge easy strains
That echo gains


Once in a while
Fancy greets style


Live in the light
Of bubbly sights


Know when to stop
Ere the last drop


Pain can be good
To show odd mood


Love wears a style
Prompt and worthwhile


See that you see
How best can be


Wear well each strain
Outlive

Pure joy sighs
In sure highs


Seek to know
How love grows


In good time
Cheer sculpts rhymes


By and by
Calm clear sighs


Warm the cold
Dare be bold


Walk your talk
Let truth stalk


Be one whole
Heart and soul


Live fine strains
Prompt yet plain


Do good now
Love knows how

Breaking Dna Strains

Breaking DNA Strains

In Biology lessons, one reads of mutations…
That inexplicable quirk of natural selection…
For once in a while some individual thrives…
While at other times, another withers and dies…

The latest movies exhort the supreme human being…
Through the process of mutated genes, he comes into being…
The Marvel World of Super Heroes and super bad Villians …
Though fictional,

The Last Strains of the Decrescendo

The last strains of decrescendo were still in my ears
Dancing at the masque party time flew leisurely on downy feathers
The night was still youthful, the breath enjoying every fragrant inhale
The last strains of the decrescendo were still in my ears

I was jostled to my senses when it was announced that I had won a free

HAIKU STRAINS 4


Modern shoppes
Bayfront attractions;
Window shopping spree

~~~~~~~~~


Midnight nocturne
Window view moments;
Bedtime distraction

~~~~~~~~~


Music seeps
Through front door;
Passing minstrel vagabond

~~~~~~~~~


Easy escapade
Scented lemongrass;
Spa massage

~~~~~~~~~


Fond company
Old lovers sit quietly;
Calm charms crisp

~~~~~~~~~

HAIKU STRAINS 3


Nephews and niece
Day trip outing;
Keep fond company

~~~~~~~~~


Sunlight in rain
Confronts conflict;
YinYang movement

~~~~~~~~~


Old fruit tree
Tropical delight;
Mango outburst

~~~~~~~~~


Godmother charms
Sanguine compassion;
Stern love stays

~~~~~~~~~


Touch of beauty
Poesy sings;
Economic sway

~~~~~~~~~
