Adumbrated aeration regarding...

crafting reasonable poetic rhyme
nothing to sneeze... at chew
asthma lingua franca –
acts as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious glue
inspiring me to skip to my loo,
and ye to play altruist gist
imagining how and why I still rue
cashing mucho moolah legal tender

which absolute zero funds recouped,

Missing In Plain Sight

Many are missing,
Where can they be?
They are standing beside us,
Why won't we see?

Who are these people
Who cause us concern?
And what is the issue
That we all must soon learn?

From where are they missing?
How bad can it be?
They are missing from our table
Where they should deservedly be.

They are the hungry
And the food insecure,
They might be our neighbors
Who are trying to endure.

Somebody Is Missing (Challenge)

Come now, my Darling
So far yet so near
Even at a distance
I can feel your every fear
A silent scream only the one can hear

Talk to me, I'll be right there
Tainted breath on broken lips
Let me kiss away
Every single tear
No need to disappear

We aren't so different
It's like looking in a mirror
Loving blindly to fit in
Wrapped in the cloak
Of someone else's sin

Sneer...

A smile snaked across his lips
his beady eyes delivered stares
He swivelled thrusting hips
and smoothed his greasy hair

His dance was calculated
to excite her little mind
To draw her in, close enough
not a thing to hide behind

A mask of good intentions
"Surely you will see...
just thought that I would mention
your best choice, would be me"

He's smooth of tongue and reason
it's always worked before
She should fall for him, why not ?
He's everything and more

Insomnia - A Haiku

Didn’t sleep again.
My alarm rings in minutes.
Maybe tomorrow.

Father

Father
Your face I see
Urging me to be free
Assisting me to change my ways
My Dad

Cadaverous climate controlled cave creature

(Idea birthed, engendered, and germinated
from Lombok Indonesia earthquakes
On 5 August 2018,
a destructive and shallow earthquake
measuring Mw 6.9
(ML 7.0 according to BMKG)
struck the island
of Lombok, Indonesia),
rendering Johnny on the spot,
Jack of all trades able, eager,
ready, and willing to rig up

Crown Of Stars..

Through evoking words of ancestral wisdom,
Combining the emotion within the wills form,
We empower the actions of our sacred mission,
Upon a destiny to which our soul was sworn.

As the stars descend from the cosmic skies,
And a fire lights within our nature and heart,
A lone angel in heaven lets out his soul cries,
The twilight of the end times is now to start.

Anathoth!

When everything I’ve created,
becomes grievous to be born
and the path beneath my feet
is broken, well worn
I think to myself,
I knew this would come,
but I believed deep within
that my heart would not fail me.
proven in my yesterday's,
that the days yet before me
would not discourage
or destroy me!
as l rise to my feet
and look to Anathoth!

A strange story

Once
Each
Word
Was new,
Had not existed,
Never been spoken,

So, say
‘Seaweed’,
For the first time,
‘Seaweed’,
Weed of the sea,

Smell the word,
Flavour it,
Salt-fresh
Or foul decay,

Savour the words -
Green-Hair,
Oarweed,
Hen-Pen,
Rosy-Pink-Plates,
Dew-Drops,
Oyster-Thief,
Kelp,

Coiling
The threads
Of Mermaid-String,
Knot them Into your brain,
