In silent anticipation, I wait,
Heart pounding, palms sweaty,
For the verdict that will shape her fate.

In silence I have prayed, I wait
Heart pounding,eyes full of tears
For the verdict that will shape her fate

Then the moment arrives,
A phone call finally comes
An answer comes as a surprise

Words came , a score revealed,
A sigh of relief, her fate now sealed,
A wave of gratitude, my heart is healed.

It started with the batting of an eye
A voice that made the heart skip
Touches that made pheramones drip
Spurned into a vicious lie

Slide the blade across your throat
That was all she wrote
Your name in blood
Amidst a sanguine flood

Drawn from the knives left in her back
After all your sneak attacks
Lying lips get far worse than stitches
Next will be all your snitches

Ring around the Roses
Pocket full of Poses
Your body's turned to ashes
Lit it up with gasoline and matches

Here I sit
Lost inside my head
Wrapped around a blanket
Of existential dread

There's no way out; I've lost my faith
In everything but you; I hold dear
In your arms; there's nothing left to fear
I'll see you again between roses and razor blades

If I told you that I love you
Would it even matter
The blood's beginning to spatter
Hold me as I fade into the abysmal darkness

Brainstorming yields casting
the following plumbline
netting genetic, italic, kinetic,
magnetic, opportunistic, quixotic,
synchronistic, and universalistic result.

Happy: An Acrostic

Holiday elements of joy and peace,
Always inherent in the changing seasons.
Preparations planned with love,
Peaceful aura 'round the table.
Years bounty encompassing all!

A painted smile
carry on a thousand words
Through a simplest
kindness of act
To shed a light
from a giving heart
And a caring soul
make a difference
In the world of tomorrow
for a better change
To eliminate hatred
form a peace of mind
Embrace with hope and joy
come together with unity
For the sake of humankind
and the next generation to come
Plant the seed of love

Tear drops fall again
Dark sullen, lonely wind
When the past has called
Will I stand to lose it all?

Take no notice here!
Leave it for the universe to bare.
Past has come undone.
Look into the eyes of the sun!

Can I now deny?
Is it in my heart to defy?
Is my witness sure?
Only He can tell for sure.

Left on mercy’s door.
Only He can settle this score.
Drawn into the light.
Will He guide me home tonight!

I sometimes feel your absence as if it were dust,
easily disturbed by currents of sorrow,
only to settle on the remnants you left behind.

With some effort, I sweep the delicate memories
into a bin that is never full, so you won't worry that I'm okay.

Away from contingencies and conspiracies,
Binding thoughts cold forest,
Judging my actions, giving orders against my world
I hope to win, swimming swiftly against those plaintiffs
I yearn to achieve, to undo those deeds that failed us,
To do all my best, again and again

Test results
Waiting, nerves
Anxiously anticipating
Outcome, fear, dread
Relief
