There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea.

The lady is not at fault.
Dear lady, how enticing you are at first sight!
The milkman comes to you daily
The vendors, the technicians, the tailors
And such sorts visit you frequently.
They are more fortunate to get stirred.
You have no desire for us,
That does not mitigate our desire for you.
How enticing you are and yet how
nonchalant!

Jejune, Puerile
Black and white
That is the law
The books
And the lawyers
And judges
Jejunely
Insouciantly
Disenchanting

Lily
Oh dear sweet Lily
how sad that life
is dragging us apart
and that by choice
you are living
a life of your own.
When you have time
or want to reach out to me
no pure flower,
or desire can change
the way that you treat me.
Even the enticing petals
of your naked skin
cannot win over
what is getting lost
when you do not
really want to comprehend
the cost
of the way that things
are going between us.

Toss The Coin
On a bus ride home
Or down a grocery store aisle,
You might meet
The most enticing lover
Of your transient life
Or encounter the hands
That will grip your throat
And extinguish your existence.

White Dicussion
I talk of freedom
you talk of the flag
I talk of revolution
you'd much rather brag
and as the decibels of this disenchanting
discourse continue to dampen the day
the coin flips again and again and again
and again as our sanity walks away
all this discussion
though politically correct
is dead beyond destruction
though it leaves me quite erect
and as the final sunset rolls behind the earth
and the clock is finally dead
I'll look at you, you'll look at me
and we'll cray a lot
but this will be what we said
this will be what we said
look where all this talking got us baby

We are all bound to the throne of the Supreme Being by a flexible chain which restrains without enslaving us. The most wonderful aspect of the universal scheme of things is the action of free beings under divine guidance.

Astral Realm Lower Vibrational Emotional Debris
Death visited me mystically suddenly
late the other mystifying electrifying night
beckoned beseechingly bewitchingly spectral
starry portal of fusion mass dissimilar life
evaporating all earthbound cares trivial wares
typifying lost world of density bound strife.
Death visited me suddenly impishly
late the other interdimensional night
enticing with beckoning spectral finger
cutting through senses like an icy knife
comet flight mystic struck spine kidneys
enticing chill resolve revigorate stilled fight.
Ice needle injected numb self-will resurrect
with renewed invigorated resolve vision life
night reaper not yet ready to steal claim reap
this newborn chill of prophetic service sight
astral planes energy blaze screened love learns
soul’s scarlet seeping dimensional peeping light.

Don't Stay To Feed This Beast
Word of advice.
Although it feels enticing,
To argue with someone...
Who has chosen ignorance to use,
As a weapon to fight against what is right.
Don't!
I repeat...DON'T!
Do not...
Show you are upset.
This will ignite,
A heat you will not be allowed to leave.
And you will get upset with regret.
Since...
People of ignorance,
Love and will get their attention!
And historically,
No one needs to prolong a search...
To uncover the evidence of that!
Word of advice.
Although it feels enticing,
To argue with someone...
Who has chosen ignorance to use,
As a weapon to fight against what is right.
Don't!
I repeat...DON'T!
Save yourself and 'time'.
Walk away immediately.
But don't stay to feed this beast.

By adopting the 'free trade,' or British, system, we place ourselves side by side with the men who have ruined Ireland and India, and are now poisoning and enslaving the Chinese people.

Sonnet VII
The strong man's hand, the snow-cool head of age,
The certain-footed sympathies of youth -
These, and that lofty passion after truth,
Hunger unsatisfied in priest or sage
Or the great men of former years, he needs
That not unworthily would dare to sing
(Hard task!) black care's inevitable ring
Settling with years upon the heart that feeds
Incessantly on glory. Year by year
The narrowing toil grows closer round his feet;
With disenchanting touch rude-handed time
The unlovely web discloses, and strange fear
Leads him at last to eld's inclement seat,
The bitter north of life - a frozen clime.

To Be Cured
You accuse me of corners too tight,
Living a lie that was demanded of me,
But when do shoulders visit and dismay
The liars who perpetrate the crimes to be.
You sway and dash like a river into its sea,
With me you swing and search to see if needs are met.
The real religion is a faith of certain epic nature
That I trust and hope to suffer for all the days in my life.
To accuse me of slander and backbiting
Is next to enslaving my body to the rigours.
It is a regime that ordered me to be good,
To be effort and comfort, and to be all that cured.

Sonnet: Human Love’s a Mirror
O, human love is brittle as a glass!
And breaks into pieces, you cannot glue,
Enticing people’s hearts, until they pass;
Succeeding in the hands of just a few!
You ought to handle it with supreme care,
Lest accidentally it falls and breaks;
Most times, it shows that life is still unfair,
Or mountains out of mole-hills, surely makes.
Sometimes, the silvering may much peel off,
Reflecting faces as weird as can be;
Sometimes, it makes you laugh or cry or scoff,
And shows that life can turn at times nasty.
Lucky are some to witness love life-long!
For most others, ’tis just a dainty song.
