The witnessed account of time
Delivered through patience
Have meanings declaration
Presented in judicious light
Swollen matchstick caricatures
Visually exhibited among canvas
Aged to history's proper demise
Languished sportingly in unison
Livings momentary courtship
Twisting beneath pressures thumb
Continue along to rhythms stanza
Forfeiting any chanced redemption
As prepositional understanding
Investigates the vicarious spillage
The minuscule delivery rendered
Loosely infiltrates saturation's end
And each missed opportunity realized
Wasted to hastily garnished ideals
Those images devoid of recalculation
Hover knowingly beyond consciousness

Misty enthralled remembrances
Gathered under visual highlights
Softly echoing the spent minutes
Uncover again a savory blend
Every inch of bright glowing blend
Sincerely delivered in wonderment
Hypnotizing in all its pure nature
Capture the released understanding
Feathered temperament alas swayed
Giving of the highest found example
Newly announced to simplicity's end
Spin the rounded passages of routine
The heated macabre to involvement
Solely transparent of maliciousness
Placating skeptical tip-toed advance
Bleeds readily inside trying solutions
And once more timely stayed minutes
Rejoicing to history's known accounts
Playfully remind of theory's wanting
Staging finalizations sweet goodnight

Serendipities mongrelly surround before egregious behavior
Testimonies vicarious unwind, a sculptured witnessing review
Degradation beholds a challenged belief syndrome unleashed
Theaters announced presentation, fraudulent characterizing
Remedial trauma, forged tween thy nocturnal forgetfulness
Pestilence emanating decayed blaspheme throughout ranks
Heathenism languished afore eyes cloudy introduced alliance
Mimed occurrence the staged happenstance of regurgitation
Clemency retreated under filings standardized unfolding truth
Macabre's total grounded, hegemonic undertow relinquished
Breeched channeling surrenders to destinies barbaric miscue
Thunders horrific demise, timely minutes social ignorant blind
Minstrels dancing dilemma, shaded soft-shoe tappped sonata
We ponder outrageous aftermath slovenly administered afar
Paralyzing rebuttal analytically processed investigative convey
Witnessing rapture from a buffoons grifted, mind twisted ego
Tyrannies showering affront to existence, leads unobstructed Fated parallel of reciprocity dangle among weak minded allies
Another stale reminded of indecisive commitment to a cause
Grievances squandered of non-participated acknowledgment

Foggy Mentality 7/1/2025
6/1/2025
Inside minds dangerous avenue
Lost among the traveling psyche
We revel in blemished wonders
Seeking audience with honesty
The twisted wreckage of memory
Spoiled of yesterday's primping
Dutifully performs the rendition
Mesmerizing in sporting glory
As every calculated dispensation
Coined in longevity's stony arena
Withers unto the dusty finality
Spilling forth a graying solution
Our neatly folded understanding
Tested before irony's laden path
Blend sparingly rainbow's results
Casting expressive shallow outlines
And preening to tried examples
We broadcast temptations calling
Hoping for a remedial forgiveness
Something for the long, lonely road

Twisted under life's gripping hand
Holding time in bottles wedged cap
Our completed finishes as transposed
Unraveled through a histories rewind
Spilling furtively in evaluated examples
Left upon lights positional awakening
Carried beyond another spoiled view
Display is clear in abridged conclusion
And while revelations wide perspective
Overlooked by the faithful interactions
Falter not, reversed habitual rounding
We of higher pilgrimage rejoice blindly
Yet in the terrestrial horizons of space
Where things of the unexplained reside
Our reprisals in given situational response
Hold motionless the spinning deceleration
Saving only things we with selfish nature
Truly cherish between sheltered castings
Staged upon life's ever evolving heart-ship
While investigating miseries wanton cure

4/1/2025
Heavy the heart of remembrance
To be searching inside yesterday
Lost on the attainable absence
Plastered by a memories ghost
By the sands filtered movement
Teasing wishful occurrences held
Blissful recognition recedes further
Capability flails in abandonment
As cherished embodiment consumes
From a learned and practice state
Given significance to witnessed source
Still grounded before our fleshy demise
While thunderous clap of heavy heart
Pounds feverishly against skeletons cage
Igniting temptations reckless imposition
Cautions fraternal pestering serenades
Alas the too familiar visitation to sorrow
Brings together repeat acknowledgement
Softly spoken but hardly ignored entirely
Remembrance again challenges hardship

Somber inequities filtered through menial background
Testimonials derived of thyroid cancer, newly founded
Sheppard's following, a single-filed prone obedience
Miserables denial, the triumphant misunderstanding
Treacherous commodity, stolen advantages unknown
Sealed compliance, walking under the staged umbrella
Every waltzed footstep, a played consortium of refute
Preened anxiety, the scampered run-around deployed
Things from yesterday's rage, denominal circumstance
Flagrant degradation, wondering among tonal ignore
Myopic versions of human involvement, as bestowed
Everyday blasphemy, freshly brewed within accounting
Winters uninhabitable existence, commonly accepted
Mentalities social monitor, on permanent disconnect
Contrite presence, acting on a borrowed participation
Eventualities conclude, thunder struck before an expire
Relinquished command, times grand sutured witnessing
Sovereign engagement, spinning under repeated evolve
Timely minutes, running verily before the excited masses
Another column of character, song-and-danced abruptly

Green Peace 3/1/2025
2/1/2025
Hibernating inside momentary slippage
Engulfed by random transitional speak
The flowered beginning naturally faded
Insistently displays again stayed moisture
The running of life's everyday carnage
Rounded upon our hurried inclinations
Diminish fully sincerities trying accolade
Leaving unfinished a profound meaning
And dwindling under the pressurization
Shielded beyond any redeemable grasp
Examples unforgiving ink laid scribble
Records thusly each stipulated guessing
A histories field-tested experimentation
Borne of the many temptations afforded
Flail despondently to a winded suffrage
Left billowing to a wanderer's imagination
Making totalities slow intrusive passing
Ground of repeatedly suggested homage
A series of ingrained delusional thinking
Unworthy of interpretations acknowledgement

Bleed Through 2/1/2025
1/1/2025
Blank signatures from invisibilities past stolen moment
Memories stringent recollections, lost in a flatulent flue
Sciolism, relinquished under muted arrogance emerged
Theaters dancing, a worlds ravished undertaking found
Spacious elaborations, spinning forth the bountiful array
Icy declarations strangle every truthful undertaking alas
Beings stone-harbored announce, timely minute's peek
Destiny, borrowed unto thy traveled everlasting abound
Pressurization, stunned between a crimped insistence
Filtered vulnerability, unto forged compliances avowed
Waning defiance's, trailing under moonlights dual comply
Clarity, spinning tween helpless shadows of fading light
Grounded denial, stages forth the chronicled reminders
Images from yesterday's beleaguered insistence remain
Evenings shade following, sheds light under twilight's fall
Spacious unfolding, dimmed of existence's known spiral
Appeasement, copiously injected on narrative pronounce
Literal insinuation, sanctimoniously broadened to height
Generality soft-spoken, within a triumphant testimonial
Tomorrow's grainer passages, tell the tale of bygone era
