Politeness,punctation,division

Politeness is considered archaic
Old men, in their suits, and ties say it
Distinctions are  made,
So life can be played.
And while we live let us not be prosaic..

Punctuation  fills a similar need
Sentences ,syntax ,they plead
Of course we may  lose it
Which, generally, proves it.
Or  sentences  anaemically bleed.

When visitors call   for their tea
Then fruitcake divided  shall be.
We share what we  love
As sun shines from above.
Then five thousand shall eat,we shall see,

Appearances, both natural and contrived  

How gently,sweetly softly flowers pose,
Carnation,orchid ,daffodil and rose.
For their intricate petals form a shield
Yet bees with striped force shall make them yield.
Appearances,both natural and contrived,
Mixed with the wiles of human nature thrive.
As knowing not, we pluck the apple rare
And bite its flesh,with teeth we have to bare.
We too deceive the innocent who pass
Not seeing watchers hid behind the glass.
The windows break,the deep earth quakes;
Seized is the maiden ,he  her virtue takes.
Beneath the surface,force and fierceness thrive.
What fearsome, burning God enjoys our lives?

I am no longer

I heard your voice outside the glass front door
I  felt no shock nor worry  nor surprise.
But there a man, whose image is a blur,
Handed me a box with friendly cry.

What part of me still waits for your return?
Why don’t I know you’re gone and shan’t come home?
What  knowledge must my  puzzled heart still learn?
Why do I get an urge to search and roam?

If we are conversations ,as I read,
Then our  exchange has ended with your death;
And so I  am not she with whom you laid.
Nor she with whom you shared a common breath.

When deprived of  hearing your response.
I   am no longer she whom I was once.
