He didn't like
when the stars moved
because without
this celestial distraction
the forlorn man
had an eternity to ruminate
with his perpetually pissed life mate
the interminable sentence
attached to their divine prison

Due to untoward reality
intruding on our best laid plans
integrity's integration
into the current political situation
has been postponed indefinitely
and sent back to committee
where it will be buried
with the forgotten ghosts
of reform proposals past

My ex's
frigid #Dear Me exit text
demanded a response

So I grabbed parchment
and penned
what needed to be said
in a romance sonnet
where petals and pages wed
to try and win her heart back

How pathetic is that?

Post deception
the Inquisitors questioned
those who were forsaken
by the #Phantom Ghost
who plied deceit in muted tones

Once trust was established
the heist was preordained
as the dazed victims
who now curse their ignorance
look for fresh scapegoats to blame

I sank slowly into it

That mattress
sure was a disappointment
when it came to firmness
and physical support
which really messed up
our surreptitious tryst
rendezvous as planned

Comfort should not matter
but it does
to us middle age adulterers

#fromoneline #foxprose #poetry #poem

They waited patiently
on the edge of a cliff
to take their turn
jumping into the abyss

The pilgrims believed
their unwavering faith
would offer protection
from the rocky elements below
as they leapt
into the enchanting endangerment
with all the other soon to be dead minions

#FoxProse #fromoneline #poetry #poem

Thoroughly enchanted was I
by her shadowy elegance

Like charcoal on the brush
her lovely countenance
was a fixed portrait
mounted on the heart walls
of my busted romance memories
til that close out day
when I myself revert to dust

Fuck the muck and mire
smothering our creative fire
with oppressive negativity

A candle in the swamp
yields a muffled light
always in danger
of being extinguished
if we are not vigilant
to the less than conducive
climate environment

Our view from the train
piecing through
the Winter's landscape
was quite visually deceptive

For we would find
upon arrival
finding solar #warmth
in this chilled environment
was yet another wishful illusion
we brought a long as baggage

@foxprose

Trying to please you
by adhering to your #precious rules
is as ludicrously impossible
as taking a small sip from a waterfall

Drowned by the sheer volume
of conflicting expectations
give me pause to reflect
if your attached high maintenance
is worth the aggravation
