A walk nowither in winter's wasted wood,
Finding a deep quarried chasm,
From whence I stood,
A raven suddenly alights from a stunted tree,
Over breathless edge, eye level with me,
Like a pyschopomp with much ensiled underneath,
***** the raven over a quarry that has long since ceased,
And as if those wings flapped off the dust,
Of the ensiled toy size trucks,
I began to look around, in the wasted wood surround,
Everything matched the chasm, in its strangled hue,
Even a derelict station wagon, and through its cracked rear view,
A television set, cooking wares--
Far from any path but perhaps are overgrown,
All reflected the sides of the chasm, even in their ghastly chrome,
Even the Knickerbockers in their amber glass of old.
This site had no Rhodenite,  that much sought Stone of Love,
No Roxbury Pudding nor Chocolate Garnet were among,
Only the Granite Moonlit Rose,
And all her blushing has succumbed.
So I took the lightless amber,
And threw it into the blank dumb deep,
" Who are you, what you cannot speak?"
I impugned and laughed off the quarry,
And continued on to leave,
And when I would have thought the glass hit bottom,
I felt tracked and not alone,
In the corner of my view,
With amber eyes now sunlit gold,
A fox, furred in granite, of the silver blue Breathless Rose.
Do I ever cross his mind?
When she is sleeping by his side?
Does he ever recall the night our eyes met?
When he was standing outside in the winter’s cold
Did he ever think of me as his lover?
When I was wrapped beside him in velvet sheets?
Does he ever recall about the time
When I was on my knee on a marble surface?
 
Nostalgia plays its tricks with me
I was left to carry our will to the summit
We were always meant to be with each other
Even if it was all just in my fantasies
This is Scene 15 of The Altar I Was Denied, a short story in form of poetry.
My heart betrayed me the moment our eyes met
He was standing on the altar with her
And my eyes started to melt

I noticed a strange look on his face
He looked worried when he looked at me
yet he kissed her and left me there
This is Scene 14 of The Altar I Was Denied, a short story in form of poetry.
Bound in blessings with the Left -
                 Brother Left!
Joined in patriotic love of country - fellow man!
        How we quarrel, quarrel, quarrel,
In pursuit of governing!
        Stars and stripes define our kinship,
Coupled by our common heirship
Providential comforting;
           Striving on, on, on,
         In the stately pantheon,
And respectful competition of opinions coalesced
       From the Left, Left, Left, Left,
               Left, Left, Left -
  From the striving and reviving of the Left.


        Hear the agitating Left,
                 Fearful Left!
Having aspirations of equality expressed!
        Notions quite inferior -
        Vaunting ours - superior!
From the birth of modern man
    The crown is ours.
God-anointed master plan
  Grants the bounty to the chosen ruling clan -
   Avatars!
           Rightful is our point of view!
Such a farce to claim equivalence in detinue!
   How undue!
   How untrue!
           Parity!?! They misconstrue!
Toleration? We eschew -
         And the thieving, and deceiving
           Of the Left, Left, Left,
         Of the Left, Left, Left, Left,
               Left, Left, Left -
  To the squeaking and the shrieking of the Left!


         Hear the loud and loathsome Left -
                 Traitor Left!
Behold their filthy claims of equity expressed!  
       Speaking for their people now,
       In a gruesome, ghastly growl!
Bellowing their heresies,
From their foul vicinities,
                  Blasphemies!
All the voices tell me that the Left is savage and insane,
All the faces sell me feelings of derision and disdain,
           Ceaseless refrain, refrain, refrain,
            Feed the chorus to sustain
That which makes me feel exceptional,
Castigating as contemptible,
      Anyone with views apart from mine.
            Oh, the Left, Left! Left!
Inhumane and demonized,
      Reviled!
How they dream, and scream, and scheme!
       How could anyone oppose
Righteous, pure and godly promulgated truth?
       Yet the chosen few persist,
Through the gnashing,
And the thrashing,
      ‘Owning Libs’ is sacrosanct;
Even though the mirror shows,
       The heaving,
And the seething.
       And the cowardice repeating,
Of the spinelessness - projected on the Left—
             On the Left—
     On the Left, Left, Left, Left,
            Left, Left, Left—
In the droning and the groaning of the Left!


          Hear the venom of the Left -
                 Evil Left!
Claiming equity of those awash in melanin!
Fetid fiends of arrogance,
Threatening our dominance,
       Damaging hegemony,
      Weakening supremacy,
Of the righteous, rightful heirs of kingdom come!
The heresies that they espouse,
      Causes panic to arouse;
     Evilness!          
    Oh! These wicked, loathsome creatures,
       WIth disgusting, grotesque features;
                 Vileness!
        And their preaching, preaching, preaching,
          In their pitched and putrid screeching,
Mutual inclusion teaching!        
          Oh, what awful, wretched swine!
     Having sold their own humanity
     For prolonged insanity!  
              The fools!
        Look at them! It’s not us, not me!
        Can’t you see? See!?! See!!!
                    SEE!
             Paranoia on the Left!
         How delusional they are,
             Maniacal are the Left!
          Spying on my ev’ry move!
          Telling lies, lies, lies!
          Being kind is for the week!,
             Tell that to the dreadful Left—
               The wretched Left -
          Telling lies, lies, lies!
          Selfishness in virtue!
            Hear the throbbing of the Left -
          Of the Left, Left, Left -
            Hear the sobbing of the Left;
          Telling lies, lies, lies,
            And they creep, creep, creep,
          Spying on me as I sleep!
            Oh! The mania of the Left -
          Of the Left, Left, Left -
            The hysteria of the Left,
      Of the Left, Left, Left, Left -
              Left, Left, Left -
  And the moaning and the foaming of the Left.
"The Left" is written with the poetic framework of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Bells", and contemplates the descent into madness from a voice on the conservative political spectrum as they traverse from viewing fellow citizens as regular, worthy human beings, towards a twisted, grotesque, delusional perspective of immortality, paranoia, extreme fear and anxiety. This physiological degradation is aided and abetted by what is consumed in various media outlets, to the point where the narrator loses the ability to think critically or evaluate facts and situations with any autonomy.
Everyone was happy and his father’s wide smile
his eyes gazing at her while I sat in the audience
I was at our funeral I wish I was the one at altar
his ring on her finger but his promises are on my skin
 
Everyone was happy while I sat and mourn our loss
Should I blame her for being the other women?
Or should it be the man who I love?
he is free from ever needing me
This is Scene 13 of The Altar I Was Denied, a short story in form of poetry.
My heart was beating louder
with each step I took inside the venue
I felt like my freedom was  being restricted
and just wanted to run away from the scene
knowing I'll never find love like him again
but I tried to keep my feelings in control

a look at him reminded me of our nights
when i slept by his side after he was done ruining me
Only if he felt the same about me
the way he does about her
Maybe I would have been the one
holding his hand and kissing on altar
This is Scene 12 of The Altar I Was Denied, a short story in form of poetry written by Messier Plath.
his gun inside my throat
And hand holding my face
he swore to love me
and then took me off the gallows

he left me in the morning
holding someone else’s hand
breaking all vows he made with my heart
but never really signed his name
This is Scene 11 of The Altar I Was Denied, a short story in form of poetry.
She waited for him by the lake
After he promised to meet her there
But he was lying naked on my couch
after he was done fueling this affair

She has no idea about why and when he touched me
but she will wear a wedding ring, with his name on it
so I wore his marks like rubies and diamonds, for one last time
before his touch becomes foreign
This is Scene 10 of The Altar I Was Denied, a short story in form of poetry.
