Absorbed by the dreary remains
Of a web of circumstance,
You fumbled in the dark for a door,
An exit strategy.

Whether "can't" or "won't", it's clear you don't understand these tears -
Well, each tells a story of its own:
This one's for best, but never enough -
That one's for brightest, but never on show.

It's a sorry series of unfortunate events,
A spidery path of ups and downs.
Reflective to sensitive others,
They remain opaque to you.

Then the world collaborates,
Confers and corroborates.
The domino network forms a chain,
A bridge to distant decisions.

So long a life donated to the service of man,
Thinking the weight of the world
Rests on two shoulders.
Now, finally. A man. Donated to life.

Darling moon
The circular shape of your pale body— engraved with dark, profound craters— assures my turbulent mind of incessant curiosity that darkness, undoubtedly, holds beauty of which many cannot fathom.
Your colorful aura corroborates that assurance.

Every night I look for you, darling moon, and I feel a sense of liberation.  I am merely an infinitesimal speck of nothingness in a space of infinite, vast depths.
What is “real”?
You are a real tease with your intangible presence. Moon, why is it that I wish upon you every night of your most spherical phase?
Perhaps it is because in you I see Him, and somehow in Him I see truth, and if I speak to him loud enough and often enough then he will finally turn and face you as I have and at last, He will see my freckled face smiling downward into his heart.
I will be found.

Dear moon,
allow me to be you for a day. Give to me the knowledge of how it feels to be looked upon in awe; to hear the wishes of the lonely, the happy, the hopeful; the path-finder for the lost; the dictator of tides— especially the tides in His heart ( they will always be gently gliding along the contour of his heart— never monsoons or tsunami’s)
Tomorrow is the day, darling moon.
Another wish to be locked inside for you to treasure.

The green grass corroborates the cold
Making the atmosphere feel cold
Waiting for the trees to be mold
Waiting for the beguiling stories to be told

All of my frivolous dreams are thrown
As I search for the stupendous unknown
They, themselves live alone
But, they bring forth chills to your bone

You'll be bedazzled as they array
As they make your feet wander astray
You'll find yourself discombobulated in the bay
As you glare at them in awe as they dance ballet

But I apprise you, keep your feet close to the ground
Keep your ears focused to the mellifluous sound
Saying, the lost are soon the found
And one day He'll be releasing all who are in bound

Watch out for the wolves hiding under the moon
Watch out! They'll be howling soon
Inveigling you with an enchanting tune
So be aware, and be immune!

One step, two steps; they're near
They're in your vicinity, waiting until it's clear
They'll be gnashing their teeth near your ear
All because you're cavalier

Fear this most, "the trumpets shall once again blow"
And the question is, do you know where you'll go?
If not, then it's time for you to know,
Heaven is real, so is hell; are you going up or maybe low?

Occupy my time
With the grind
Don’t want it for the fortune
Nor the fame
I would decline
No notoriety
Accompanies
Such thankless
Entry level
New positions for myself
Within the status updates
Revel
See for me
It all comes down to
What corroborates my class
That education
Means you make it
Means you fake it
Till it lasts

— The End —
