Wine and Cheese

Offended is an expensive Vintage blended lacking precision I recommend a less sulfuric fermentation -----------Varietals------------- grapes of wrath so much to offer each glass examine swirl smell breathe and savor see legs of the vine tannins to taste or we can over drink over think get wasted and offended tick clocks fast amidst boiling stew issues skewed by our own jaded views we can be peaceful yet perceived to push hate our temple may become damaged via friendly fire and as for poets... we may be the single most egotistical, emotional, tremendously divine individuals of all time and we know it! we laugh when skies cry, seek solitude as joyful crowds arrive we write and write 'till pens run dry of ink we, the Swiss cheese... we pretend to be bulletproof, whilst writhing inside we juxtapose we justify we jigsaw puzzle brothers and muzzle others we control situations then recite white lies to monopolize conversation all the while remaining dedicated to being offended with loose change and pretentious and boy we've figured out the whole Multi-Verse because "My Deity can beat up your Deity! yet, let me not be the last fool to promise you, we are so miniscule, the god's will be too busy swinging sticks on the golf links to visit you before the toil of your sore drama is through we must pave our way, keeping heads clear and high stamping urgency upon trusting self Mister Bob Marley sang it best with: "EVERYTHINGS GONNA BE ALRIGHT!" shhh...LISTEN upon this short enlightening journey exists a plethora of big aspirations we'll fail to grasp if our hopes swirl in the vortex of black clouds sidetracked offended at misunderstandings and minute words burning midnight oil on the spoil.

Great aroma of wine in your verses filled with both the sourness and sweetness of truth about who the poet is.Lots of food for thought,indeed cheesy too...An excellent poem which speaks with lots of honesty.

A truly fine one my friend. Write the way your heart sings , you'll never go wrong. For a poet's heart has a million flavors to paint the sky, the world and the spirit of mankind with. I once wrote hard and raw as a young man. I back then enjoyed stabbing deep to watch the initial shock. Now I pull back because my aging heart lost the fire that fueled a bad temper and wild ways. Hold onto your fire my friend, blast the sneaky world with cannon balls of " piss an vinegar "... Damn the PTB.

It's like whisky and butter. I like your virtual introduction, and speed of words. JSLAMBERT, I don't know why you were gone for such a long time, BUT KNOW THIS! This site needs more poets like you, not that I've ever met another poet, who's got the right groove, when bouncing a straight shot of words. Peace and Love, no time for hate. "Everythings gonna be alright" you got that right. Love this, raping rant, swirl smell, and on and on....weeeeeeeeeeee! Hey, It's Awesome...Linda

I think you're spot in with this one man, quality write. I love it when folk are honest with their poetry, invention and truth after all, are not necessarily exclusive of each other, and anyway, "Don't worry, about a thing, cos...."

please keep in mind that the only "poet" I have ever met in person on here is me. So perhaps I am speaking of myself. You never know with poetry. Written word (for me) is merely blips of random digestion...Rarely do I write about firm beliefs. Often I write as if I were someone totally different than myself. This is the addiction, I suppose. Everything changes.

we must understand there is a bold line between fact and truth. Words I write may not be 100% factual, yet they are written from a place of truth. Also, I do not edit or hold back anything written, there is enough of that censorship in my speech and actions. Could it be I wrote that to identify those who become offended:)
