in an unfurnished studio apartment,

Diabolical it was….

The Woman

Rhythm

...I am naked of you,
once again unclothed by love
unfurnished
I know everything of nothing.

In sympathy of tears
the air gives up its water
Hydrogen
You separate the oxygen.

Locked in cycle...

American Girl

...Sadness echoes once more in my chambers,
pain, residing in me like a filthy squatter,
and my heart is squalid,

...A solitary kernel for lack of succoring nurture aggrieved
From sun's warm caresses seasonally bereaved
With wind's chilling strides constantly plucked, heaved
Lying on fallowed ground whose cloak now...

A World To Its Passing

...And I let the world to its pass
Letting it pass by unnoticed
The never moments never asked
A time only if left unfurnished

...I have a hollow basement,
It's unfurnished and devoid.
Love and enchantment, it should have plenty.
Tenderness it seems to lack.

Many hands have offered help,

Outweigh the sparkling rhapsody of pains it brings,
