Perfect Storm


Men who lost their crowns
Theirs is an epidemic.
They live with
Women who wear their frowns.

There’s now a covid pandemic.
The clouds are overcast
He is home more.
Closed are all the stores.

Grown men. Little boys within.
Falling upon their lovers.
Their homegrown whores.
In conflict with their mothers.
Hurting these little girls its
war.

Children uncharacteristically silent.
The atmosphere heavy and violent.
The neighbors know the indictment.
Witnesses say nothing . . .
Of a man’s excitement.

To a woman’s innocent incitement,
to love.
The inner boy looses control,
As we can see
the man in his role
unfulfillingly.

He has no place to go.
The employer sent him home.
There’s no school to attend
And the children cannot visit
friends.

The pandemic intermingles with the
epidemic.
A perfect storm has developed.
The vacuum is tight.
The pressure afright.
Atmosphere building up
without release.

Who will suffer, who’ll finds peace?
In an emotional hurricane everyone’s
the same.
All are hurt, all are damaged.
Those who suffer just might
brave the challenge.

But in this perfect storm,
there is no one left but the
innocent and careworn.

Is There Nothing More?

Dinner is on the wall Children crying, infant screaming Fear freezes her when he calls Between them there is silence peeling Its the way they only know Its how love they struggle to show He knows nothing more She can’t bear the blood and sores She understands she must flea But how else can she Be? _______________ Copyright © 2020 HeardWords America

His Love for Her

Don't leave me here!  Don't you leave me here this way!  What will all my friends say? Who was it that carried me on the bier? Well, will you pray for me? Or can't you wait to see another man, if only you can?  Life with you was never,  the kind I wanted.  You called me "friend" That was after you put an end to our coupling. That was after you had my ring  cut off your finger. I can hear you singing after that. You had your own definition for being a swinger. A woman, free and unattached. Since then we've never been intimate. No matter the many times I had to wait. You would love me  Only by cleaning and laundrying for me. Still you'd never give me a bath. We had a life together you never let last. Don't leave me here!  Don't you leave me here this way!  What will all my friends say?     "She buried him, with his love for her.      She's not so demur."  _________ copyright ©️ 2023 SDKilmer, LLC All Rights Reserved www SDKi

Oh how I love your manners. Does it really matter That I want to be like you? Got nothing else to inform me. So let's see, who I am. If I can break free from Being an Adoptee Chameleon Of different colors. With different lovers. To
