December 2019 Poem | Painting of the Month

Today’s understanding of a bellowed comply

Feelings compiled from a bravely felt witness

Hard strung temper rewound thru the discuss

Forever’s beginning saturated one-more time

Memories timed departure singing feverishly

Repeated dancing of yesterday thy reminder

Grieved misunderstanding statements demise

Hovered compliance awaiting social conclude

Hurtful the divided and occurred concomitance

Staged conclusions of life’s bereaved repealing

Feathery posture running through a landscape

Withering allow, escaped under shadows flaw

Avowed reminders from vivid rewinding repeat

Hearty scaling between times volleyed gesture

Spinning’s pressured revolve a swollen denial

Evenings slow drenched acceptance sourly spun

Apertures twilight revealing spanned acceptance

Voyaged amenities from life’s traveled witnessing

Temporary’s danced two-step highlights uncover

Another tomorrow lost to a stolen circumstance

Drummers rhythmed cadence, life’s bounced remit

Channeled remembrances from a yesterday’s okay

Memories special insistence, times guided purpose

Winded denials, lost to a periodical happenstance

The frightful acknowledgements, dust slowly fading 

Filtered involvement, a grey pigmentation of allow

Staged carrying-on’s, fugal in attempted coverings

Blue lined horizons, drifting amid sea-scaled eyeing

Daily’s constant visitation, amid segmented revealing

Feelings pressured detachment, unto irony’s unfold

Hurtful vibrations, another soul’s fragile acceptability

Mentality, stretched before actuality’s unveiled peek

Blue-streaked drama, trailing the lonesome insistence

Promised conclusions, unsung to segmented pausing

Stepper’s practiced wondering, a fugal commonality

Weathered followings, menaced interpretation found

Timely minutes cloud-fogged, visual impaired, unfold

Offerings divine presentation of a gilded compliance

Special initiations, to a longevities blinded miscuing 

Another tick-tock, of livelihoods misrepresentation

Evenings tried patience from daily’s understand

Faithful’s solemn meander among walking’s sty

Winded peril once again, a biased understanding 

Gathered compliance, today’s harrowing peek

Selfish bother, livings temporary timeless setback 

Insiders betrothed following from memories allow

Destiny’s agitation, alas beyond flagellating repeat

Grey-scaled destinations reveal fabricated real-life 

Theaters controlled altercations of biased lively

Clothed participants dancing lyrical innuendoes 

Sustenance built of a stature’s false compliance

Bred collective, spinning under the microwave

Trepidations televised broadcast, the unraveling

Generational miscuing lost under timely minutes

Secular evolvement divided unto a period’s stager

Routines blinded following, the cherished agree

Pressured happenstance, a histories alignment

Floating passages from soothsayer’s calm repeat

Colorful alliances unite the dreamy affirmations

Predatory conclusion file endings after-glowing

Robust notions filtered between the borrowed existence

Touched souls wading in the deep mystical waters of blue

Field-tested allowances prance, under darkened uncover

Channeled charisma, peeled backward from guided view

Soft massages, alas rekindle prosperities stolen moments 

Visionary wanton, running through timely minutes allure

The days preparation, calculates involvement slowly adrift

Tangible retreating, unable to unscrew tapestries connectivity

Colorful images, staged inside the global rounding of time

Upright persuasions of guilty pleasure, thine total recalling

Seepage from a voluntary’s regimentation, in life’s penance

Gathered persuasions, render eventualities solemn speak

Familiar statutes, holding true; inside a volatile outcoming

Harvested beginnings, trail behind an anticipated wonder

Life’s twice bided proclamations, fall beneath parameters 

Caged whistling, free-birds unique allowanced expression

Thunders pronounced awareness before the tribal decide

Gripped understanding, following fools’ hearty segregation

Spell-bound remembrances, unfounded before the agree

Magical moments again dancing unto a shaded tic of clocks

Things found upon a destiny, in revealed appliance

Hardship’s beleaguered follow, inside twisted now

Boundaries earthly abandonment runs superficially

Tethered tween timely minutes collared allowance

Mine remembrances dining of creations proto-type

Loin-built application’s shining through a pragmatic 

Winded decertations donned of gritty indignation

Soul’s-rendered happening, a confronted condition

Heightened gatherings, reveal the shielded truth

You within a blind understanding shall fall to reveal

Our total involvement, awaits the unveiling of you

We retreat to a novice themed tell you not, again

The figure of preened following, in spoils sanctuary

Rivers divine running-through, flying among a devil

Spirits toiled borrowing within a collided splashing

Memories trenched dilemma, sailed of a yesterday 

Everything creeped upon the sheltered wonderment

Futures dynamic foliage simmered unto life’s spoil

Evenings remembered decertation, to recitals spiel

This tonal commonality of stolen macabre, my dung

Windows borrowed testimonial of days-gone-by

Mine, a shadowy figure, within yesterday’s remiss

Memories saga, dancing the delightful reviewing

Evenings sorrow, bleeds of mindful recognitions

Hearts blind following, staging a fond remember

Connectivity searching through the cloudy return

Boundaries stolen repeal, life’s frightful miscuing

Silenced understanding, a rueful degradation felt

Isolation, wandering through times stunned ritual

Guttural passages from existences fragile walking

Disbelief welding the gauntlet’s furious inference

Thunder’s striked intercept, fire heated trepidation

Dysconnectivity, abrupt in theater’s sudden finality

Borrowed stabilization, the slowly ground emotion

Repressed feelings, chewed raw of mental disbelief

Times blended shuttle, running a coursed pathway

Grief’s plausible deniability, a sheltered misgiving

Release’s torched affirmation, hurtful witnessing

Vengeful allocations, wonder of soulful affordance

My window of remembrance, bitter-sweet remorse

The wonders of yesterday’s visitational segmentation

Scarred testimonials floating inside pained remember

Gritty bygones whispered in silent regurgitated spiel

Memories dissected period, from recalling’s insistence

Royal happenings spewed upon thunders bold alliance 

Tethered beginnings, stolen before the selfish injection

Weathered sacrifices staged upon a theater’s arrogance

Another weary entity, sliding to fruitions remembrance

Destiny, riding along the fearful collective shenanigans 

Staged follicles running the gambled pressurized repeal

Miniscule allowances treading unto a plagiarized repeat

Symphonies agitated encore, to life’s unchanged strife

Steely observed diagrams, spinning forward to continuum

Foggy examples of mortal reprieve to a homage unseen 

Dolled happenstance tilted upon a borrowed collectivity

Mysteries unknown denomination the blind parabellum 

Containers over-filled stockade of unjustifiable observance

Stolen testimonials from ill-acquired, encompassed rights

Cloudy fragments of history’s compromised understanding

The Solemn accusations reveal blemished accompaniment

Livelihood flounders in remiss, to livelihood's revealed digress

Childish stumbling, centered in eventual recognition renown

Memories profound reoccurring dreams, a colorless blurring

Occasional flashbacks, spinning against gambled categories

Daily initial allowances begin in honesties humble involve

Many sanctioned retreatings, discover the borrowed truth

Segmented portions, from timely minutes prowled initiation

A calling's predisposed foundation, a protested social display

Degradations spun affirmations, under scolded blueprinting

Storytelling spread in a most influential caliber of availability

Wading shadows of translucent existence amount a collective

Smoke-filled vibrancy, life's channeled, mystical, see-me-not

Wasted happenstance running along a troubled conclusion

Picturesque examples, filtered of menial pledged memories

Dancing a participant's waltz to life's branded redundancies

Memorabilia a silent avenue to histories blinded overture

Golden passes from timed temporary, scarcely illuminated

Allocations, deemed unnecessary to a greater evolvement

Movements, slow-drawled pledging, inside today's acceptability

We bleed constantly from open-ended wounds never closed
