Insincerity
To die for
the most obscene
expression
to come out of the mouth
of talking heads
their insincerity
as palpable
as the lack of talent.

There is no absurdity so palpable but that it may be firmly planted in the human head if you only begin to inculcate it before the age of five, by constantly repeating it with an air of great solemnity.

The difference between a theatre with and without an audience is enormous. There is a palpable, critical energy created by the presence of the audience.

The great charm and comfort of the system is, that its affects are palpable within a week of trial, which creates a natural stimulus to persevere for few weeks more, when the fact becomes established beyond question.

I've inherited a sense of that loss from my parents because it was so palpable all the time while I was growing up, the sense of what my parents had sacrificed in moving to the United States, and yet at the same time, building a life here and all that that entailed.

The Edener
Surrounded in ultimate bliss
Boredom in nature so palpable
From a dreadful sleep awaken with a kiss
Beauty before and a fruit palatable
So clinged became strangers twain
By the side an emptiness
Yet without a pain
A little while and forgotten in every moment
Away drawn and in beauty changes
Into a curse plunged by the edener

Palpable Mistake
mistakes are palpable
sometimes and equity
demands a correction,
some mistakes are
so serious however,
death is demanded
by strict justice and
divinity weeps for
another soul wasted
humanity pretends
another victory
a triumph for its
blood thirsty instincts
another life is taken
in payment of a debt
I have read it somewhere
they have thrown the last stone,
and
Jesus wept,

Fractured Time
He would set them free,
words. On cityscape.
For extended release of connotations.
Part of him, not his way,
and become weaponless.
Once the silence descended,
nothing was left to be known.
Between doubt and belief
anguish was palpable.
Truth was a capped fossil.
The rumors and denials
were similar. Fractured time.
From lie to lie watercolor ticks the clock,
fells the tribe of seekers
and breaks the mirror.

Pall-bearer
He has seen the nakedness of the palpable death.
How many times he has walked to the cemetery behind the innocent coffins from a child to the elder.
His tearful eyes lament but tears almost dried.
He always thinks the auspicious day will come and who goes with him?
He lives in his entire life with the cenotaphs of different souls.
Though he is an adolescent nobody loves him.
He never catches a girl's true smile as he may be smell of death?

In Transit
A blind spot
was clinging on to earth.
Point of entry had
an eye against eye.
obsidian falls
unshaved. The guilt
of dawn was palpable.
A nimbus surrounds the pain.
A microdrone takes on
the spider. Diffusion of
hydrogen sulfide starts.
Don’t break the window.
Through my love, I touch
you on face with ashen fingers.
I step out from the hawk’s talons
into the prophecy.

A Companionable Love Or 'Working It Out
The difference between them was palpable,
kind of off key like a strange smell,
they didn't quite gel.
She'd go her way, smooth and easy,
thoughtful and kind, straight,
and trusting.
He was a hard, edgy man, private, not shy,
with a sharp tongue __tough,
so you see the situation.
She tried to wring his neck once,
when they'd had a fight,
you'd never believe it!
Now they're this old couple,
timeless, mild, like peas in a pod
You'd never have guessed their past
and when they sit together
it's a companionable kind of love.
