Destiny
– has a choice –
Liked it or not
Destiny paused,
For held thought
Of fitting caused,
Fits aging fraught
By revoked losses,
Find related ablaut,
Saved faux sources
Sits amide ye tralala,
Traces of life course,
Alleged be gods exalt
Given triviality voiced,
Shant admit a bias result
As if destiny has a choice,

– to soon be –
A Place
– to soon be –
There is a place
We will soon see,
Cannot be erased
As truly fixed be,
By gods in place
Said gurus of red,
Whom rule space
Feeding its stead,
Fear not to deface
Mans ruins in red,
Be a death to face
Destined we read,
For we’ve a place
Ever so to soon be!

– of love –
A Story
– of love –
Mans aspirations
Held time to time,
Pleads inspiration
Be need of reality
A love story finds
In livable validity,
Assumes ere after
Images an eternity,
Ne’er so to faulter
As gods’ actuality,
Of the while alive
Despite a tapestry,
Arrives in surprise
In fates phantasies,
Be assured survive
Sets a story of love!

– of a love affair –
The Memory
– of a love affair –
Twas a time ago
That a love affair,
Meant yet to know
Could be life shared,
Thence hesitant show
Had feeling that cared,
That time ago held ours
Wouldst then fixate such,
Afore gone aptly past time
Made bold with gentle touch,
Was of the memory you’d find
The while be pact of a love affair!

– on the wall –
– on the wall –
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Hard to show
My face at all,
You make it seem
Like it was mauled …
Mirror, nearer
Your torment,
Can have me cry
And looking bent,
Instead of shy
Of seeming spry
As it has meant…
Mirror, closer
You discuss,
A weathered face
Shows craggy crust,
Made hopeless case,
Ne’er as it must…
Mirror, mirror
Now violator
In melancholy state,
Alas ye so deface
A shan’t be salved
Thru your efface,
A torturous onguent
For a losing case,
Mete by a malfeasant
As held mirror on the wall!

– ain’t necessarily so –
– ain’t necessarily so –
As ye shun circumstance
Had interpreted ill shown,
To a fit considered stance
A bit distorted as known,
For a compunctioned anx
Found it suggest inhuman,
Tho it ain’t necessarily so
To find be far from human,
One to see image thru hand,
Has blind man stroke tableau
That tell his heart understands,
What it bore ain’t necessarily so
Yet alas would alter fit as a human!

– then and now –
Ne’er need to wonder
What the morrows be,
Twas before and after
Could stay facile free,
For gods that meander
If thy reach a morrow,
Afore fits end wander
Hence a then and now
Despite curios borrow,
Inadvertent tell us how
Held gods find plunder,
From you and from me
Attain hereafter wonder
As place fits morrow be,
Then now or yet maybe!

– of living dead –
– of living dead –
All those years
Of may’ve said,
To lack of cheer
For a life ahead,
No longer clear
Tho be its stead,
Ye can yet hear
As living dead,
End gets closer
Tis so I’ve read,
Possibly darker
Thus so a stead,
Ye will discover
That lies ahead,
Neath a surface
Not plus as said,
Nor be a feeling
Ye might’ve pled,
Or tried discover
Tho to fixate late,
Yet could so liven
By extending state,
The while be given
A hint of living dead,
Thus in ye gods heaven
Might be your life ahead!

– as ye reach ahead –
– as ye reach ahead –
A year now gone
Thus so too fast,
Find next along
Mayn’t see pass,
For hast amiss
Awhile it lasts,
An evoked kiss
As not aghast,
Be if you miss
Or ye fail ask,
Shy to persist
To fit end fast,
Save find gone
Or fix hide alas,
Withhold strong
A life’s stead lack,
As ye reach ahead...
Nigh told as yet
In ye gods care,
Be mock regret
Or but shadows,
Your life begets,
To find propose
Tho inapt riddle
Bound ye forget,
Not so be puzzle,
Until fits matter
Did avoid dread,
Of but to scatter
Via hazy spread,
Held be smarter
Best concentrate
Long afore dead,
If ignoring strife
Thru life’s stead,
Is what goes rife
As ye reach ahead!

– in a perilous place –
– in a perilous place –
Lapsed dreamscape
Of rhythmic sounds,
Is in perilous place
Yet aberrantly bound,
For lovers enfoldment
Will rouse until found,
Fitting neath life lent
Hence thus to astound,
Beyond held its lament
Bar it cry on the brink,
If fixate anecdotic face
Is far off implied think,
Thus now in irate space
Holds reach despite hazy,
Ne’er meant set replace,
A dreamscape turning lazy
Fixed in a perilous place!
based on old familiar story,
for a friend of errant ways...
