The Disappointing Quality

The taste has soured

Enchantment scattered

To the winds

Of an echo

No longer heard

The beauty once

Remembered

Not visible

Through the shell

Of bitter acid

A lifetime enclosed

In a mind rotted

With instigation

For the purpose

Of hurt

When the soul

Has flown free

Embittered

Will it continue

To be?

What legacy

Was left behind?

A bloodline

Of memories

Emotionally

Abused

Ready to carry on

To the next

Generation

The same

Acrid views

Life's Hullabaloo

The seedy underbelly

Of a belly rubbed

The wrong way

The upside of it all

Is the growth of anatomy

To better a fake economy

Or so says he

The man

With a plan

Inferring

With his wee

The debased walking tall

At the beck and call

Of Decembers

Aging caterwaul

While May

May have

A little sweet

Not too far away

A sight to see

In this city

No need

To pity

The choices

Are open

To interpretation

Yes or no

To the invitation

I would cry

For the sadness

But the scene

Is so ridiculous

That I smirk

To hide my

Mirth

Oh to live

And die

On this earth

Nothing to do

But find the humor

In the antics

On the stage

Of the aging

Life's hullabaloo

And so would you

If you gazed upon it too

Second Shower

Second shower of the day

Got caught in the pouring rain

Warmth pounding my skin

Elates the mood I'm in

Drops bead

Mirroring

My need

That power never fails

To impress

     As it castigates and rails

          Our frailty

Lightening screams out

My name

For we are the same

I feel it in my blood

As it surges

And floods

My synapses

Contained

Within this fragile shell

As the thunder

Rings my bell

And I smile

Flourish Triumphantly

I've wandered free

As a bird did I fly

Watched as people

Flowed by

Dreamily

I meditated

As to how it would be

To be a tree

That I perched on

So happily

Rooted to

The mother of all

While being fed

With her love

Growing ever tall

So I've scratched

The earth you see

And settled in

Peacefully

Soaking the love

She surrounds me

With a little help from above

I will flourish 

Triumphantly
