Unacknowledged

Sultry night
Simpering stars
Wicked cool
The faint night air
Under the blankets
Turn and toss
Snow White moon
Sahara loss.

Ancient bat
Wing black night
Treacherous holes
Oozing spite

At the poles of Gaia
Earth inclines
To make belief valley
Of sunny climes

Pellucid dawn
Mythic skies
Chiffon skeins
Of blood veined  light

Out and away
Anno dominus day
Deadbook Time
Turn Life's page.

For what you pray
The wise Sufis say
is ethereal
It will not
Stay.

l, heart shaped dot
Nanosecond's pause
With my wealth of feelings
That would blot
A cosmos. 

Leave me alone
Adam's fragile bone
Of me no mending
Cast into stone.

Sweat  trickling into tears
Tears trembling in fear
My role defined
Each act unclear
The mise en scene
Makes them
Boo and jeer

And the God of Goodness
Who created all,
Still pretends and
Turns a deaf ear.
