Futility



                                                      

                                  
                                        This sanguine restraint
                                        encumbers ascendancy,
                                        psychagogic spheres
                                        safeguard reality;
                                        once protruding beyond my means,
                                        this last dire lark, all that holds me,
                                        all that I am, yet defeat overwhelms,
                                        this trespasser and enchanter concedes 
                                        this impetuous caprice, whereupon
                                        and whatnot truth unfolds this
                                        inimitable touch for whom
                                        binds this Godhead, mortals morass
                                        in their ignorance conjuring up fables
                                        and myths to subsist with their weakness
                                        and frailty, O thine eyes of a fool for whom
                                        resurrect idiotic clauses to buy themselves
                                        freedom from the inevitable and the
                                        futility of becoming nothingness. 

                                           -  John Hardesty

The Mornings Are Hell

The mornings bring their misery and reassurance  of my life’s decline, hollow the marrow of life, empty the cup of hope and filled the plate...
