Nimiety ( An Acrostic )
Needed rest and
idle cares are necessary—
maternal levels treasure
intellectual affinities;
earthen pleasures manifest—
tiny flames engulf
young lovers in love.

Feeling romantic since Johnny mentioned Byron on the Classic Corner discussion thread!
Been reading him since! LOL!
Now I know who to vote for in the latest Classic Corner poll.

Adust cutis, curls, founders
onto desert pavement
Dry-shod and caked
into a geometric blueprint
Scrub oak with her crooked
branches, naked and twisted
cry out to an empty sky
As unforgiveness falls
from the mouth
of the sun
Mistletoe thrives on bits
of life, she clings to.
Nesting, like an organic
hoi polloi
She seeks silence
In her desolate mind
onto desert pavement
Dry-shod and caked
into a geometric blueprint
Scrub oak with her crooked
branches, naked and twisted
cry out to an empty sky
As unforgiveness falls
from the mouth
of the sun
Mistletoe thrives on bits
of life, she clings to.

Left silent
Wow, V that is beautiful 💜

Hoi Polloi
competitive living,
the hunt for the holy grail
is all for show;
everyone is certain
their neighbor has it,
and they covet
to the point
of conspicuous
gluttony
the hoi polloi,
with an inability
to conduct their own
investigations,
jet fueled by Vyvance,
noses to the grind
~fake it til you make it, baby ~
while consuming
Costco cases of wine
and joking about it
on Facebook,
not realizing
that chronic dis-ease
and irreplaceable moments
are the only prize awarded
for the quest
the hunt for the holy grail
is all for show;
everyone is certain
their neighbor has it,
and they covet
to the point
of conspicuous
gluttony

This hoi polloi?
It's all a decoy---
a cardboard cutout nimiety
Sans the live fans
cheering from the stands
your life's an arena
empty --- a'void'ing null
as self-esteem is held hostage
daily; ransom demands
never paid in full

It's as if I were reading
A rare classic
Just beautiful

Enkil & Akasha
In eburnean form
they sit continually still,
seemingly lifeless
turned to stone as centuries spill
until—
The sound of mankind's
wicked evil hate
was enough putrid ire
to rouse them awake,
after years, thousands spanned
it is now —
Enkil and Akasha's
time to rightfully stand,
and hungrily reclaim
their King and Queen's place
(to all mankind's disgrace)
T h e i r 's....
is now
a brand new
Vampire race
*Inspired by Anne Rice's book:
The Queen of the Damned
