A simple musing about a broken heart
There are no tomorrows when the day is long
and filled with sadness
there is only the slow counting of tears that fall never ending
onto the wet palms of lamination
where the weeping heart yearns for yesterday
that was lost to the empty heart of today
and causes time to be an unbearable purgatory
of tortuous emotions
that washed away the beauty
that once filled the eyes the heart the soul
this trinity lies in a state of mortification
and discontent
wanting to be buried in a ground of hopelessness
that comes with a broken heart
The world is so attached to this perceived device
Lost is the romance of rolling the proverbial dice
What would it be like; if we remembered to entice?
Instead, we only tax each other to a ruined excise
Until all our souls breath is cold as new formed ice
Seeing impurities; in the aspects that we are precise
Most are shown to have spines akin to the ghosts of mice
Our days spent trying to quantify our life's value price
Seeking to achieve a version of paradise
All while searching for an unattainable entitled slice
Without giving an offering to self-sacrifice
No real effort to make the world better will suffice
This verse with judgment; am I withholding advice?
Peel back the lamination of this to reveal its true gneiss
Questioning; who do you know; would you ever think twice?
Swimming times river, looking for every-ones; selfish vice
SOLEMN AUTUMN
Autumn adorns ambient in dulcet dream
Deciduous trees shed leaves on priority
My emotive urge surges flowing in stream.
Meet me Dear, here in solemn serenity.
Glow on abloom blossoms and fine foliage.
Aglow Moon smiling casing luminous glance
Passive quiescent passion ignites to outrage.
Dormant desires rolling rippling in romance.
Calm pleasant Autumn zephyr to murmur
Rainbow spreads arch to indigo horizon.
Migratory grey geese flying in gossamer.
Release your love Dear, do not lock in prison.
Nascent leaves shine on glossy lamination.
Auburn autumn tuned in merry interlude.
Autumn afterglow on dreamy sensation.
Meet me Dear here in still sublime solitude.

BEAUTIFUL FALL
Beauty of bright blue sky in Fall as bliss of Nature
Embossing environment, enhancing efflorescence.
Amazing Autumn adorning ambient amusing muse.
Undoing ultra -heat uttering murmur of unseen breeze.
Trees are tickled, thrilled on tender touch of temperate gust.
Illumination and ignition of auburn Autumn- flame by Sun in sheen.
Frolic butterfly fluttering free on fair firmament.
Urging unison of Sky with umber Earth on horizon.
Leaves leave branches leisurely loosely while withered or dying.
Flora and foliage on flow of fresh fragrance.
Autumn alluring amour on assurance.
Luster of nascent leaf on glistening lamination.
Long-forgotten lyric to play in lute and lyre to rewind lost love.

Laminate
Plastic covered up definitions lip with profound mastic.
Layered lamella formed single filed lines separating life from death;
Held onto by paper thin adhesions.
Besides bungling up a perfectly fine bollix,
Laminate single handedly took arms up touching innocency.
Scrolls of past things are looked less upon;
By inclinations vestal eye, seen glimpsing beyond chaste.
Blind alley virtual figment reality innocuously engulfed—
Suppressed complimentary service accepts multiplied donators;
Final offers pickled debacle is utter intrinsic debasement.
One lamination, under God, with liberty and justice; For all…
