PREFACE

Amidst the chilling storm was inspired by my father

Because he was always telling me tales of his early

Life as a shepherd boy!

Beauty rises above the weeds, was inspired by my mother

As she always looks simply elegant and stunningly great

And for instilling in me good taste and proper values!

I would also like to thank Trikki, the star of the

Wrestling show Ignition for the photo for Champion

Movie martial arts, action stars

Jean Claude Van Damme for streetfighter

Chuck Norris, for Win Every Fight

Frank Karan for the poems

Couldn’t Be Unfaithful

Fooling the Fool

Tickling Schism

To the readers:

Wishing all the best.

-Frank Karan

ABYSS ATLAS

Spider spider, on the paper wall

Be careful not to slip then fall

Into a large bowl of boiling porridge

Scolding hot too hot, then fly cannot

Roam in the air n’drivel everywhere

Be aware to safely land, down there

Don’t let chains bind you’re scintling walk

Leave behind your rusty lust, it’s not just

Don’t be distressed by maiden’s vows

Steer a course sailing forever proud

If not enchanted anyhow there lies a

Crypt of vicious vipers, for you now

Slight and short compile to naught

Born too soon gone for noon; death

Greets it’s victims, with a scarry toll

It feels the greed to win a virgin soul

Cruising the abyss atlas is the epitome

To coercively foresee revitable destiny

So be weary of pivotal travels and ails

And be thankful only to where you avail

ACHES CRY

Pain is lurking in n’all around

Seizing victims on random round

Stumbling blocks make ladders larger

Can you contribute any major charger?

Children swing on swings, while siren’s

Wail in the wind, laughter aches and aches

Cry; Shall we let it slip on by? Or adjust

Harness sadle whilst droving thirsty cattle

Factories ooze out their venomous plough

Gushy slime intoxicates the clear ground

Adding refuse to greenhouse’s peer mound

Our atmosphere can’t fortify major bound

Don’t cripple my heart with your radioactive

Chart. Please have pity for my swelling part

Don’t crucify my sincere art; or the passion

Of a mighty blood flowing: terricolous start

Looking around do you see? Can you see?

Is there anything that you really would

Like to be?. How can we eradicate hate

Envy n’greed from every race and creed?

AD HOC VERB

Which is better to lie or cry

I ask of you to tell me why?

I awoke as you spoke of the

Mambo sun, it’s fiery rays

Were no joke, believe me son

It’s barren heat weighed a ton

As i made my escape to oasis tarn

Guns, planes n’army trains dissolve

With rust, bandits of darkness shift

Into top gear; their nocturnal fear!

Surmise surprise get the lies out of

Your eyes, classic images don’t burn

As wax, if you prefer then make tracks

Axes and saws are tools used to achieve

A formidable score, is it worth yielding

For? Ipso-facto; there must be much more

Sex appeal teases everyone for a spill

Is that a viable trill or a cheap ill?

Chiselled in granite we looked superb

Everything that we did was ad hoc verb

Risque is my plan of malady divorce, from

The mammoth social sour of repeat discourse

Stomped on by a bleeding mad bull, dragged

Through arid plains of prickly cactus scrub

Debris scorpion n’snake, i tilly-vally

We pivot in shifting sand and lose our rake

I see a mirage; it’s a scumble mistake

I feel the rubble splatter, it’s earthquake

ALL YOU ACT

The world exploded in my face

As it was pelted magma pace

The closest encounter of your

Life yielded so much strife

Whilst directing dangerous scene

You couldn’t participate obscene

You only thought you’d direct the

Role but you ended up protagonist

Whole: as pretentious bossoms

Bestowed inveigling your mode

Sarcasm was a puddle because you

Were too frail to strode shuttle

Having held it’s debut on stage two

It was cursed unrehearsed, only one

Act it played staking inaugural way

Academy award winner; mega money filler

Tinsel town spinner! Can i take you out

To dinner you stunning sidewalk sinner?

You’ll sign a pact n’use ten fold tact

Renumerating epenthesis of all you act

Agnostic%20%20Android.jpg

AGNOSTIC ANDROID

I don’t want to be left alone

Tired, hungry, away from home

Scolded by the scorching torch

I wish to quickly run ablaze

Into a safe sheltered haze

Where pure trickling streams

Sparkle in clear days, little

Hummingbirds glisten in gaze

My hard harvest is promptly due

Only to be wasted on bills cue!

I seek to be exalted; not vaulted

In this faulted skyscraper jungle

Whilst in it
