'Tis oh so wicked how I'm feeling,
bones and joints en masse a lump
the pains subtle still rock my core
as I'm seeing an under the humps
'Tis a little unfortunate how I wait
for answers to undiagnosed riddle
wish 'pon a cell to meet half-ways
found an end is now in my middle
After we're gone, they'll ponder our thought
wonder where we found all wording we got
shake heads in agreement, feel written awe
concur that's mighty fine poetries they saw!
What a great way to let poems out
say how you feel, sonneting shout!
Tell all you see in writing a rhyme
release the odes, sestinas sublime!
Please put this on my headstone
Here lies the one and only
A twin who hardly loved and lost
Long gone but ever lonely
Please spread my middling ashes
Out beyond the swimming lines
A twin of fatless servitude
Worn out by father time
Please leave this on my tombstone
Who rests here none more mattered
A twin who found his nothingness
By soulless sword and scabbard
I'm blessed now I'm cursed
much better than I'm worst
Here most positively happy
there feeling kind of crappy
At moment my hopes fly up
full second buy me half cup
Cry like a frown went down
grin as a white-faced clown
Emoted in merriment's glad
relapsing on bottomless sad
Here, we've finally found our mark
Two twins talking, words to rhyme
A place as good and fine as any
A tale as old as beastie time
Now, we've spun full circle
Two twins talking, pen to poem
A life of sticks and stones aplenty
Along the trail that led us home
When I was by myself, a grown man on his own
I ached for one good lady, house to call me home
Trying bachelor freedom, I paid for tips massage
but alone my spirit went, rub-a-dubs feeling raw
That's two poems for me, and one rhyme for you
if the sonnet doesn't fit then wear the other shoe
One verse minus two doesn't make an odd equal
but a poesy in your hat, sent the lyric into sequel
The lyrics don well,
these odes are good
our back and forths
shape nice as wood
We'll two by uppers
ones before another
like word machines
the ballads brothers
One fleeting now
In this glad place
I feel the sun
Upon my face
One rowdy ride
In time and space
I feel the force
Of earthly grace
Right here and now
No better place
Before I'm gone
Without a trace
When I think about what's happened to me
I'm grateful 'twas not a named chimpanzee
that mauling, mutilated my handsome face!
Pondering each shouda woulda coulda been
I remember my exact same thinking's again
mad monkey, please keep far away from me
One mouth and one nose
Two ears and two eyes
A head and a skull
One big bean inside
Basil ganglia
In primitive form
Feeding and fucking
The lounge lizard norm
An R-complex brain
From germinal stage
Fighting and fleeing
Primordial rage
Gray matter geckos
Reptilian and cold
Scaly and savage
As primal pure gold
