Reset Relationships Poem by John Sensele

Life on Earth is a mirage

I thought would escape the rage

At the betrayal daily I feel

When searing sorrow can't heal

No matter the remedy I try

Whether poking noses cry

Tears I dislike to see

When convenience cavorts in the glee

Soaring on faces I long to avoid

As scenarios amount to a void

In the morning plastic smiles they wear

In a travesty they claim brandishes levels of care

Absent from arrows and daggers

They sink into my back that staggers

Oscillating right and left

Blister blows bashing my chin cleft from the trust theft

Triggering a flood of questions

To vie for reasons as to motivations

Propelling hearts of rock

To don the frigid frock

In once dreamt doled out swathes of bliss

Until it dawned on me in flatulent fleece

I can no longer repose my trust

Unless my cognitive ability cleaved the rust

Roving all over the iron

Where future undertakings metamorphose into an unstable ion

Blast into a optimal orbit

Demanding and commanding bliss in every blessed bit

I believe precedes every move henceforth I make

From now onwards to avert death in a lampoon lake

Where he who laughs last

Laughs the most in a comfort cast

Delivering limpid love

In every slice of relationship I contrive to have

Thereby preventing mental health from emerging

In sinews clearly surging

When the brain takes over

For my heart to trust a three leaved clover

Swimming nearby

In the trusted lullaby.
