It's a serious chore

To maintain close relations.

It takes commitment,

Determination,

And a persistent fervour

To face them smiling.

Hesitating like

Faulty clockwork Chinese toys,

He chafed under the

Disdainful patronage

Of a man for whom he felt

Nothing but esteem!

Fearful of sounding

As if he'd overdosed

On sour grapes,

He whispered prayers,

Fatuous prolixity, to

Dystopian gods

Whose jaundiced eyes

Shone diaphanous blinding  light;

Unredeemed  he'll soar

Luxuriating in

The power of unhinged

Language... he is free!

A shimmering pond 

Under Helios' nonchalant

Gaze; paroxysm...

Steeds champing at the

Bit, snorting most auspicious

Hell schadenfreudes!

Apotheosis!

Floundering

The incredible 
Ship ran aground, its tough crew
Unaware it seems

Of invisible
Sycophantic sharpened teeth;
Firmly stuck it is!

The frenzy lasted
Till day became night again;
This is its element!

Why are collective

Convulsions on this planet

Fragments of despair,

Headless Albatross

Swimming fast to the surface;

Our conscience clearer.

Chinese white tea pots
Hanging from a lampadaire;
Unctuous forethought!

Sufism, mystical
Dimension of Islamic
Faith of warmth; puzzling!

Voluminous crowns
Overshadow short comings
When duty won't call!

Amor's weaknesses

Are too many to list here;

It baffles logic!

Reform all surreal

Faiths that promote prejudice;

Myths abound here.

You had motive, means,

Opportunity to slight

All that matters most.

You should let sleeping

Dogs lie, or else they will come
Surely after you!

Sinking ships

Alzheimer’s disease,

Erasure of everything

We have ever learned

Even instinctive

Functions  such as chewing and

Swallowing, speaking,

 Continence control,

The brain inevitably

Losing its instincts

To regulate most

Vital organic actions.

We then are laid up

And suffer ailments

Common to the bed ridden:

Infections, heart trouble,

Pneumonia...the brain

Begins to clot with plaque and

Bad fibrous tangles

While neurons shut down

By the millions, dimming,

Distinguishing us

From what we like to

Define ourselves as members

Of the human specie.

Why declare obvious

Moral  equivocation,

In ambiguous

Enterprise, washed

Away by overwhelming

Malignant passions?

Biggest gang around

Is indeed the government.

Common occurrence!

Supercilious look

Accompany the usual

Desiderata!

 Le mur

Ta lutte est avec moi!

Brique par brique le mur

S’érige très haut!

Illusoire, mais là…

Imprenable il se veut;

Et voilà! Conquis!
