And her thinking is an intangible tempest of sorts,
Shouting and rumbling within its confines.
But tranquil semblance hints none to her thwart,
That irks at the fingertips and undermines
The nonchalant ways she nurtured for leave,
From springtime visions of love unrestricted.
And as the thought shatters to which she so cleaved,
She soundlessly weeps at her heart, afflicted.
Dependency,
Like a hungry babe suckles for its mother's teat,
Or the moon, which sanctions the stir of Poseidon's waters,
Has its clutch on the soul of man, God's most enfeebled work.
For man, in himself, is ceaseless reliant
On the association with fellow mind and make.
Whether it charges the spirit in ardour extended,
Or strikes, a bolt of sheer belittlement, crushing the core - conductive.
He will endlessly wander, seeking the warmth of connection,
With instinctual vehemence and sagacity omit,
For there is nothing but the need.
The yearnings of an infatuated heart,
With ardour returned a point perplexed.
Clenches the bosom, this cruel black art.
Elicits detriment in bitter excess.
Angelic aches form hellish confines.
Their infernal essence leads astray
The saneness of man that surely declines
To scourge at the soul and mettle betray.
With dote unrequited, beatific yens wax
Yet crumble buoyancy upon each fresh cross.
Immersed in nihility, musings morph black
To deadpan convictions, dignity to dross.
And her thinking is an intangible tempest of sorts,

The Ballad of Hank the Doomed
What is your name? The lady said
It is Hank, I live in a shed
It is all in your head, the lady said
That is no shed, but a loaf of bread
Heartbroken, Hank stood back and cried
How cruel is life? It spits and it lies
Depressed, Hank stared at his finger-shaped fries
And with a woeful cry, began to pluck out his eyes
He picked at those sockets for many days more
and placed his eyeballs into a drawer
Whenever he cried, he would keep score
And then hurl himself at the kitchen door
'I AM A MASOCHIST, SEE MY PAIN!'
Hank would declare in the pouring rain
Dancing and prancing with a wooden cane
Hank's life was ended by a leaking brain
