MY ALLEGIANCE - The Abandoned Project / Canto XIV

Most likely to be published sometime in latter 2017 or early 2018, my 10th book currently entitled; 100 Proems & Poems on the HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included (in the bonus section) upon further editing, and front cover below merely a working version....

CANTO XIV - Every Passion Natural


There is a Passion natural to the Mind of man, especially
a free Man, which renders him impatient of Restraint.

George Mason (statesman, 1725-1792)


Betwixt the libidinous fixes, within the loveliest mixes
Gone are vulgar tricks, between the common hexes
Anon the rexes in Self arrested, upon the pelf attested
For Liberty, the mean alone, hence the seed so thrown
For Peace indeed, the human garden, where two bleed
Accordingly to breathe then sigh, thus to covet the locus
To summit their focus, against the pricks and stings
Mid the matinee flings until twilight warbles on wings
Singing low in voluptuous poems and euphonious moans
Kin to lovers of life `low the satin as paramours in strife
Flirts terse with hurts cursed by curt pangs and pains
O the romantic stains on lassies' skirts and lasses' shirts
The blundering erratum, as well the thundering stratum
Consequently, the mortal macadam, befittingly traveled
Marveled or caviled, to fix in part, then err in fraught
Else not at all, grand and small, excessive propensities
And passive activities, per every passion natural rightly
Oft a ménage à trois unsightly upon STATEly meddling

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
