hate, sleep,
Stealthily and with no invitation,
Wicked Mischief rides into my night,
dismounts and strides inside. How impolite!
For rudely she intrudes - this aberration,
bearing that unholy “deprivation”
strongly brewed with venom of her spite,
and if I can, I’ll try to expedite
her speedy flight; thus my liberation.
My desperation’s growing all the while.
Can I fight her power? Can I flee
her whisperings unceasing that so rile
me? Oh, precious seconds gone! I see
light of day. Sweet sleep she did defile.
Insomnia has wrought fait accompli.

recovery from..., lost, peace, lost, peace,
A.W. Nutter
Soul filling with darkness
Destroying the internal light
Love, peace and happiness
Forever lost in the night
Anxiety and trepidation
Fills every waking hour
Normality an aberration
Sanity being devoured
Family and friends disappear
Cravings, must be appeased
Satan whispering in the ear
The body becomes diseased
Lies and thievery come easy
Bowing to the masters trill
Creating an allusion of ecstasy
Swallowing the poisoned pill
Soul filling with darkness
Destroying the internal light
Love, peace and happiness
Forever lost in the night

lost, lost love, love, lust,
Parachute love once was my aberration
and shift into abrogation/ fell for a talebearer which only told lies annoyed my every thought
“Abrogation Aberration Destination”
still spinning like a Fishing Rod. Fell to deep to soon in this exploration
” Fluctuate in Separate Directions”
My EX-Parachute lover once was my Best Friend and now became my inconstant friend/

death, faith, forgiveness, loss,
Teased by the aberration of false tenderness.
Subdued in despair.
The tightened noose around my neck.
I feel as though my last breath is approaching.
Strickened airs' final gasp.
Clear these darkened clouds.
For my anguished,suffered love,I hurt no more.
May the guardian of life now take me home....
For those who have tortured souls.....

love,
Saturnine fields
Lay fallow
Upon the shores
The wind does not breathe
Time to stand still
While I hold you in my mind
I am reminded of bucolic days
And nights that never ended
We lived and loved
And walked together
Though never hand-in-hand
In the moon
I saw your smile
A whisper in the trees
Your voice
Danced upon the breeze
Like a satellite
Twinkling in the night
You circled my bed
Angel of silence
Not a word was said
In the morning
I would drink tea
Waiting for an aberration
To be found in the pattern
Of the leaves
Alone, oh no
Not I!
For I have a dream
A dream to remember
Though often I do cry.

appreciation, cat, discrimination,
I’m the smoothest cat in town -
No fur, no fleas just peachy down.
I wear my wrinkly skin with pride
For I’m unique and dignified.
I am a Sphynx cat breed mutation,
A furless, feline aberration,
It’s who I am and I don’t care
If my appearance makes you stare.
For I’m at home in my loose skin
And beauty comes from deep within.
My mistress loves me, I love her;
I warm her lap, she makes me purr!
( Shame I can't include a picture but do look this species up if you've not seen one before.)

lost love, love
You looked through me
Like I wasn’t even there
You were saying words
That I couldn’t hear
I thought I knew you better
I guess it wasn’t so
The only things I saw
Were what you put on show
A veil of deception
A cloak of desperation
A mask of dishonesty
A shroud of aberration
A disingenuous act
That took me by surprise
A nefarious performance
That was well disguised
You looked through me
To see the other side
Like I wasn’t even there
A memory brushed aside

spiritual,
The slow route, no shortcuts please
Delusion removal one step at a time
As layer by layer we gently unfreeze
To entwine with divine love sublime
Picking up any aberration, say desire
We struggle not, simply change direction
Turning inwards divine ignition afire
We imbibe & assimilate blissful elation
Or flipping desire, we encounter fear
Rooted in ephemerality, a mere illusion
Turning within we draw divine love near
Rapturous bliss renewing its ignition
We hurry not, pausing to smell the roses
The journey more beautiful than imagination
Adroitly sidestepping ego’s alluring poses
In tune with Ohm in an unending continuation

spiritual,
The automatic inward breath a divine blessing
Followed by a pause in the void of contentment
Gently breathing out gratitude & loving healing
Dying graciously returning to our native element
The pranic force thus by divine love transmuted
Pure loving intent enlivening all lifetrons within
The constant factor being in ecstatic bliss elated
As ignition in renewal each moment does begin
Breathing without thinking and likewise blinking
Even a momentary shadow an aberration in purity
Cognising without judging each nuance appearing
In & within the flow as a mist of bliss in continuity
