Deliberately debating a debilitating disease,
Excruciates and exacerbates existential ease.
Loquaciously lugubrious her lacrimonious wailing,
Instilled in me an ignominy of incongruous assailing.
Galling in its gargantuan, garrulous gainsaying,
Hypocritical hyperbole it goes without saying.
Tormenting me with tales of her tinnitus tintinnabulation,
Forced me to fulminate with ferocity and damnation.
Until, unambiguously, I uttered my interdiction,
Life's too short and your lassitude would test a Saints benediction.
The world's most beautiful creature,
And the most expensive treasure
"The primordial leaf of the garden of rose"
A being made with carats of diamond,
From the side of man.
Woman,
A great emblem of beauty
The last born of nature moulded with care
Insurmountable beauty that charms.
The dew of Harmon descending from mount Zion
Authentic, Angelic, Alluring unambiguously divine
Only to the morning's sun,
can your beauty be compared.
Your eyes engulfed in a never quenching fire,
Full of passion and undying desire
Woman,
The synonym of perfection,
Which no words can perfectly ameliorate.

Ambivalence
Any action that comes to mind
May be unambiguously defined.
But being uncertain of the intention planned,
Indecision will promptly show its hand.
Very soon the action will be declined.
Ambivalence is the way to go
Lest any preference should start to show.
Each idea in conflict with those past
Never was determined to be the last.
Conclusively, therefore, I have to say
Equivocation is here to stay.

Mystically murky memories
Antagonize anyone and anything
Despite delving deep down
Each embellishment encompasses eternal envy
You yearn, yet…
Only one option opens
Understand, undertakings undo unambiguously
Live, laugh, love, let lie
Opt out of obligation
Offer open objections ostensibly
Knowledge kindles kindness
a phone call
a text
a stroke on my cheek
the way you weep
your sarcastic guile
a cheeky smile
you melt me
unambiguously lay my fear
at your feet
that hat tossed about
your head
your cherub nature
a tarnished sweetness
assails my heart
sorcery, magic, the dark; dark arts
whatever that is
is you
whatever will be
is you
Speaking about what happened unambiguously
is too hard to do for several reasons.
People are fragile beings,
they need to be protected from too much.
It is a balancing act,
walking the sharp of the blade wearing socks.
So instead you wrap words in colours and images.
In rhyme and hidden clues.
In music and dance and friendship.
Knowing it will be understood.
Alone in his cell, an inmate said,
"Truly, I have escaped the baseness of humans-
that inveterate vice which condones condemnation.”
No longer will he mistake loathing for love, enmity for
amenity or abhorrence for adoration.
Here, who you are, whether you be Gandhi or Nazi, is
Worn proudly, unambiguously, not shrouded in incongruity.
No longer will he be forced to live a lie and deny who he
Is. “Here, we are all the same”
No longer will he need to weave elaborate stories to cover
up your crimes. “Here we can count on your face
the lives you took”
Looking through the prison bars he saw our dilemma:
The masks we wear and the people we pretend to be; the people
We befriend to betray in the end. He saw the disingenuous,
the hypocrisy, the ruse and the tricks,
the chaos and the lies; and he felt sorrow because
he could not free those of us still trapped by prison walls.
A red clock and the dwarf
will not meet on the wall.
Time slips out in virginal shyness.
On the verge of collapse was
an ossified civil group
after emotive conception fails.
Unambiguously an azure
sky measures the human steps
in somnambulant thoughts.
You throw a bound kid
in a water tank, after postpartum blues
and walk away with a halter.
Who will grab the fractured
age, during the fire dance?
A mirror lies flat after announcing the award.
