1,2,3
She is not free,
A heavy burden,
In her insides

Filled with pain,
She walks in the rain;
A storm of distress held before,
A norm of life held in the hand

An illuminated face she see's,
From groans and kicks within;
Yet no light beholds,
The face within the mask.

4,5,6,
She is in the mix,
Of pain and happiness,
From a world of deliverance.

Freedom she demands,
Yet no one listens;
A permanent virtue of life,
A constant struggle as a wife.

A sweet drink,
She has not;
A lovely ring of courage,
She wears, to brave the rage.
7,8,9
When will it be time?
For the hour,
Of labour and anguish?

Her presence is happiness,
To the essence of loneliness;
Yet a heavy womb,
She carries, day in and day out.

As the night rushes,
And the sirens wail;
Groans and distress heard within,
Grows behind closed doors.

And then,
The world is brought to a standstill,
Yet, hearts beat,
As the closed doors are opened to all.

Congratulations!
A voice is heard;
Filling tears in the soul,
Engraved on a cold ring.

Freedoms at long last, she cries,
As she removed her mask

.
He'd arrived at the door
many times.
His fingers would always
wrap around the **** with surety
and little hesitation.

He’d pause...
Just to relish the initial sting
of the coolness
in the brass and let it
soothe the creaks in the bones
and skin on calloused fingertips.

When he was ready,
he’d twist but
his wrist wouldn't work.
Like a hinge that hasn’t seen grease,
it wouldn't comply.
It would freeze because
he is afraid...

He knows well what awaits
beyond the threshold of this doorway.
He knows of what he craves
that calls like a siren beyond the door.

But yet...
He’s afraid.
Because what he wants the most
scares him so.

And opening this door leads to...




Closure.

Knowing makes me wonder
At evocative truths which abound
Salient sentience is a crucible
Where the enlightened meet
To sip ambrosia’s elixirs
Enrapturing mesmeric enchantments
Fecund grace ensues
Pervasions depths seem within reach
With treatises we expound
Lecherous libido’s pandemic liaisons
A chorus so unique
Each one a sentinel equation
In harmony replete
The decadent arrogant squirm
As rubato’s flair reveals
All the things that might have been
The love that they concealed
As they reach with grasping greedy hands
For things they can not steal
An oldy but a goody
Problematic diversity matrix, relatively positive dynamic integration, accidence ambience acoustics, a coordinated interjection through time.
Exotic trollwood harlotry and mule kit blues
Tyrannical tyrannosaur traction padness
Cohort cavorts clastic and witch’s *** hues
Ontological ontogeny somatalogy fadness
Inductive endemic veracities and talus weather clues
Epistemological equilibrium’s homogeny badness
Timeless rhetorical ruminations and ephemeral exigency dues
Transcendent ascensional equivocal madness

Tactile acuity prescience capacity intrepid intrigues
Mystical symbiosis dharma sensorium sentiment proselyte
Torturous tractive prosthesis umbrage ultraism colleagues
Newfangled nocturnal nonchalant nether nestle neophyte
Top notch topography tortoise trauma fatigues
Faustian faux pas foist felicitous fealties socialite
Agnate nous ontological ontogeny euphenics in league
Mentalities evocative introjecting sycophant eulogizing apposite

Mystical terrestrial equestrian tellurian tableau
Panoramic imagery empiricist
Evocative exserted apomixies’ ethereal should show
Ontological somatalogy lyricist
Reflective refraction remissions opulence could know
Theosophy theophany epiphany equilibrist
Magniloquent inductive extrapolation quantum back ***
Transcendent nimbus nimiety exorcist

Book Thief
It was a graveyard and overcast sky
and I sat with book and accordian in hand,
hearing the world with its screams
swallow up around me.
The people whom I had loved and lost,
Papa with his silver eyes
Mama her sharp tongue and tough love
Rudy whose hair the colour of lemons
and questioned why, the living and dead,
worlds apart, yet both did not have a choice.
I stood and screamed so that everything shook
the burning rubble and ash and dust
willing my words to bring it all back
but it did not come, and my breath rose in gasps.
Death had looked me in the eye and said,
“It’s not time yet.”
I would shut my eyes to the world
only decades later.
I will understand that there was hate and pain
there was sadness
but even more so, there was love and joy.
I will know that the people I loved had reason
to kiss goodbye
whether it was their own hurt
or saw it as a necessity,
but they were never truly gone from me
always somewhere nearby,
in the thick and thin
frail and worn
of times.
I would learn
to forgive Death that day.
I will understand that
and I will be hurt,
but I will be okay.

~

Not all deaths are sad.
Some, meant to ease their own pain,
Are called freedom.
While some,
Meant to ease the pain of others,
Are called love.

Oh dear woke with a
feeling of aneixty
early this morning

there it was sitting
in my chest webbing my heart
into a panic

so I inhaled a
gulp of air held it
for a short while

oops nearly forgot
to exhale , nearly met up with
angels in heaven

soon calmness begins
to settle , kick arsing fear
right down to my toes

where I get up and
walk leaving fear to scatter
alone on carpet

Hmmm must remember
to hoover floors later with
an extra wide smile

outside the weather
looks rather dull again but
that's okay I think

I've got my jacket
and pumps and a packet
of peppermint gum

I can hear lorries
driving by , there must be lots
of deliveries

all ready to stock up
shops or whatever , jeez
there tyres are huge

I take another
swig of deep air and am so
ready for today

manage to get a
grip on my aneixty
which makes me happy

I feel like zorro
as I'm ready to take on
the world with power

got my black cape and
horse chewing a strand of hay  
parked outside waiting

o okay that's an
exaggeration but i
loved zorro when young

Ah well goodbye for
now mustn't ramble on , the
day is waiting for me
