I grieve for time
Passing unseen,
Tho anxiously
I try to redeem,
An absurd task
Held be a dream,
Behind the mask
That only seems,
To assuage its fear
Now less than keen,
When down the line
Reality holds clear,
That life I left behind
Actualizes many years,
Yet neglected tell my mind
There be life beyond the tears,
For obtusely squandered designs
That has me grieving, now ill timed!

We’re held believe,
Life offers beings
A state perceived,
As an apostrophe
Of human needs,
Held best allayed
By transient bond,
Save best ignored
Till they abscond,
Supernumeraries
Of guile abound,
With ignobility
Of such ineptness,
As to apostrophizing
To form a connection,
Holds short imagining
Word worth excogitation!

You come to believe
Thru serene control,
Had then so achieved
A mind now set bold,
Held made concede
Put memory on hold,
Save too little known
Of significance told,
When recall has flown
To a mindless absent,
Tho spirit may mourn
Fickle fate will consent,
With memory conform
To consequence bent,
Of forgetfulness shorn!

You live with an issue
That stresses in excess,
Thus until out of tissue
You’re forced address,
With corrective venue
Hold offer of regress,
For needy disinvolve
That comfort will asset,
Hence to set-up dissolve
That allows find repress,
In this life thin of resolve
That comfort will redress,
The while fate affords absolve
You must find in every breath,
You’ve love of life reason to evolve!

I endeavour to be there
For alleged fellowman,
Whose illusionary care
Rejects an offered hand,
Has humanity in doubt
That he fails understand,
What transience is about
Links affair to be human,
Save finds a contradiction
In homo sapiens’ acumen,
As to mans interpretation
With a passion to contrive,
We’d ignored his fixations
The while we’re still alive,
Yet ‘twould be our inaction
Cause averts man to survive,
And procrastinating factions
Who’d be hell bent to divide,
Thus we’d not live to next tide!

Do be friend fair
Who’ll ne’er stray,
As to be ever there
Holds mean to stay,
Thru thick n thin
Wouldst not betray,
Or cause chagrin
Hence compensate,
Be oblivious to sin
The while meditate,
Sadly none to rescind
Till ye find situate,
Benignity therein
A truly bested state,
In varied compatibility
Humanistically paired,
Despite some dullards take,
Save who seeks be friend fair!

Not for a life time
But of time alive,
Fate holds be mine
To explore demise,
As nature’s design
Of erudition drive,
For a human assign
In a complex devise,
Be suspect durability
That we want define,
Ceding be its brevity
Ought facilitate mind,
For its one only life
In a scant fix of time,
Has man ever puzzling
Till he realized best not find,
He was born to indeterminate end
With longevity be as fate so inclines!
