"bestill" poems
Bestill
one word
used as a charm
When you get oh so humanistic-
and panicked-
and-
can't-
breathe-
Through the smog of your angststaranxietystarconcernstardespairstardismaystardoubtstardreadstarhorrorstarjittersstarpanicstarscarestarsuspicionstarterrorstaruneasestaruneasinessstarworrystarabhorrencestaragitationstaraversionstarawestarconsternationstarcowardicestarcreepsstardiscomposurestardisquietudestardistressstarfaintheartednessstarforebodingstarfrightstarfunkstarmisgivingstarnightmarestarphobiastarpresentimentstarqualmstarreverencestarrevulsionstartimiditystartremblingstartremorstartrepidationstarbête noirestarchickenheartednessstarcold feetstarcold sweatstarrecreancy
Bestill
and breathe
and don't spare
a second thought
to the past
You are Heaven-sent
Dont. You. Dare. Forget.

becalm, bestill, bequiet…
yes, a singlet. a singular mannerism
the language permits to adjudicate
the required emphases of the
urgency of a command, plea, a begging
bequeathed bequest and a request in
combination, with one exhalation,
these portmanteau, allinone, smashgrab,
blending of two words, to advise herein,
that we bring our kitbagofwords of
poetry to ourselves in order to
becalm, bestill, bequiet our kindred souls…

Choose your memories
Bestill your thoughts
Quiet your mind
From thoughtless thoughts

Silent,
Like the cool moon blanket,
Dreary, like the furnace melting,
Further,
The night mistakes the identity of the lifeless,
Fast,
Growing outside to be, for devils and nightmares of thee,
SHADOWS
Growing, beneath the stairwells,
Last,
First,
Past,
All of the day's aghast' the haze,
For all the sages could now enrage,
The battle of omeui,
BREATHE
She hurry's to the place,
Where she can not only un-decide my person,
But the life of the broken,
Will turn unspoken
GUA
Sun light,
Soft weak and low,
Dying ill manner,
Follows,
The gale of the morrow,
Bestill's all the sorrow,
Of kill's of the....
Sheep in the life...
On streets with the knife

You’re nothing but Ice
You cast shivers on;
My soul
You’re nothing but snow
Falling in flakes upon
My aching heart -
You’re nothing but doubts
Like icy roads
On Christmas Eve
Bestill my mind -
Shiver my soul
Show me your frights
For all I really wanted;
Was your Ice
