Fairest lady is mine own poison
A brume of sweet pear and Irish fragrance
Yet, I can not throw her hence
For she ravages the mind and soul
That was graced to me upon birth

Her departure still haunts me so
The unexpected nature of it
Visions of her wispy hair lights
And tangles over her sweet face
Rosy it was, during amorous rites

Now I'm hath left with thoughts
Of another man in all of the spots
That we beautifully existed in
So curse this love potion of death!
Until the very day that I die!

There is no use in idle play
For the draconian way will fill
A void unheeded by Mother's milk
Sustaining those serpents born to bilk
Before they **** you and your soul dry
To climb up that misty mountain high
With three cheers and a soluble dream
An awareness that pulsates in seams
Shows currency can not be eaten
When everything else has been beaten

in this climb
you were blind
so i held out
in high hopes

we fought hard
we sold well
but you fell
the way down
to low death

Some nights I see the moon
And wonder if you see it, too
Perhaps, you do
In another universe
That hums along to another tune
Where the rich are poor
And the naughty are nice
Traverse I shall
Even if it’s only
In my mind

Karmic omissions saturate the spell
Of which was deserted eons ago
Left overtaken by virulent vines
Seething from how the Almighty's sun shines
They seek to confront everything they can
Within the rhythms of algorithms
In a most preposterous way in day
For the absolute lack of its match
To their steely visions of humdrum
So now, it is finally up to us
To play the now vacant, coveted ***
Our dear God was, before He took the bus

Found in a rather balmy condition
It was inside such an ornate structure
Where she lived, washed her spirits
Down basins of verity

The glare of mimosa shined
Onto decorative butterflies
And their spirits did flutter
In her rather delicate frame
For there was uncertainty
On where to go?
And what to do?

T'was out of the wash
And into the sun
Sounds of a piano beckoned
From the saratoga valleys
Into darkening mikados
She had found salvation
At a quaint destination
Through communal melodies
From a young collective
Though not all in body
But rather in spirit
They held each others hands
In hopes that their souls
Would find a release

On that mulberry night
We had whirled around
The marigold light

Oh, how it found
Your porcelain face
Beyond formality
Adorning the guests
In evening clothes

So we cheered to enrichment
Of good times
And good ideas
For there was nothing we feared
Entrenched in acclaim
As all the others
Danced to forget their shame
