Contusion, Diffusion And Intrusion Poem by John Sensele

Disgust shouldn't rust the trust
Invested in the best vests of relationships
Even if reasons of treason try to bust
Foundations and consolidations on which ships

By design sail
Lists of the gist
Of relationships that fail and hail
Doom and gloom in a twist

Fate sprinkles by stealth
Into the fabric
That slays health and wealth
In a rubric

Minds can't decipher
In the midst of a shift
Whose last cypher
Spins a gysmo gift

Unwelcome
Unwanted
Unwholesome
Vaunted and taunted

In the context of a departure from norms
In place from the birth of a bond
Jeopardised by clicks, tricks and storms
Brewed and hewed in a vagabond

Crucible driven by addiction
Selfishness and recklessness
So impervious to benediction
They titter on the precipice of carelessness

Built on shores of indifference
Catalysed by obstination
So averse to convening a conference
Meant to yield the intended destination

In the midst of the flak and flux
Blown, flown and grown in ports of uncertainty
Willfully whittling trust from the crux
Away from the direction of certainty

To repose confidence in intrigue
In double talk and subterfuge
That raise temperatures of fatigue
Growing by leap and bounds so huge.
