Accursed Poems

Premium MemberAn Accursed Grin

Inside me shrieking like a banshee,
dark shadows hold an accursed grin;
Old wounds are licked fastidiously;

Always wreaking havoc painfully,
squirming below my butter soft skin;
Inside me shrieking like a banshee; 

My darkest demons they run madly
and feed on that deeply buried sin;
Old wounds are licked fastidiously;

Any who harbor them would agree 
it’s easy to tell where they

It was an old tiled house that I was born,                             
 My mother grappled to give birth to me,

Once Submerged Beneath The Dark, Accursed Sea

Darkened winds beyond the long and hidden veil,
Rising sea its calm repose then casts away,
From some distance away, moaning church bell
Calling faithful and sinners, come lets pray
Tho' Fate with its power cries more in store
Here I stood, stoutly battling the unknown
With feeble words, I did each plea implore
For greater

From Poetic Thoughts On Mankind And Its Accursed Fate

Hark! Grasp firm precious golden ray of moonlight
Wrap in heart's grip, let seep into awaiting dreams
Release it next dreadful, hellish-cast storming night
To delight in its saliently flowing bright streams.

With fervent prayers, bid high Heavens to cast  down
Manna and wine to the feast-born unwashed masses
Without need for

Premium MemberOh, That Most Accursed One

An unacceptable poetess,she.
How dare she pen of her reality!
We, in the upper clouds of poetry,
Not glad of her beingn present here, eeks!.

Can't we just lock the golden poetry  door,
And bid her farewell, alas evermore?
She will never be as grand as we, 
Who swing from the officious Poetry Soup Tree!

Off to our unicorns and grand

Premium MemberAccursed Cursor

The blinking cursor taunts
I know not what it wants
Alone it sits and pleads
I know not what it needs
And yet.....and yet....
My fingers hover
over a keyboard
Aching....longing
for the touch
of a distant lover
lost
not for words
but for passion
not lust
but fire
The cursor winks
come hither
caress me
whisper to me
to us

Jinxed With Accursed Automobile Woes

Small fortune already spent
to maintain 2009 Hyundai Sonata
(pray cuz I love genii, or even mirthful
teletubby heaven sent)
compromising financial means to pay rent,

telecommunications service provider (Verizon),
electric company (PECO), sparking pent
up rage against the machine money meant
to buffer panic attacks
springing up like Jack in the box

yet, yours truly feels his soul got lent
to the devil, impossible mission
peace

Argh What Accursed Fate Did Lurk

Argh...What Accursed Fate Did Lurk...

Regarding thee 2009 Hyundai Sonata
(50+ shades of gray), a cred
debt tub bull vehicle, that at
this moment finds sinking 
feeling akin to led
zeppelin, yes (for almost ten years,
this car manufactured with damn) sped
to countless destinations,

no whomever drove head
ding here, there, or anywhere,
yea without missing a beat said
vehicle dependable, rightly never left
being reliable,

Wistful Accursed Penniless Fate God Dime Mitt

Wistful Accursed Penniless Fate...God Dime Mitt!
(neither defamation, nor blasphemy meant, sans Title)

Despite ingestion of
     anti anxiety medications
     ferocious hellish onslaught
     pummels me aback
finds resurgence of ghostly
     white implacable terror
inducing panic attack
cogs and wheels

of psyche frenetically
spinning alas and alack
swallowed in

Lolita’s Conceit
 
Obsession defined
Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov
An accursed passion
Love’s true abomination.

Literary allusion
Tintinnabulation
Sounding moral oblivion 
God’s sure condemnation.

An Accursed Abominable Deadly Epidemic

(alternately titled random axe of violence)

I calculated an average 
of ~10.16.... deaths per year 
of mass school shootings since Columbine, 
a morbid benchmark where,

iGen / Gen Z 1995 - 2012 bore significant hit,
now students require armed guards to learn - veer
really within purportedly "safe places", 
which statistics tracks a unilinear

trend, and justifiably causing 
absolute zero

Casus Belli Conquers Accursed Submucous Cleft Palate

after pros and cons discussed
     with six grade speech pathologist, she weighed
in favor, to launch stealth offensive
     spring time surprise raid,
which faux analogous military show of force,
     no picnic nor hit parade though undeniably,
     unequivocally, and unquestionably

*****Sacer, An Accursed One

Before knowing, he was turned into an invisible man
standing in the middle of a busy street.

Unmistakably, though his image reflected on the glass of the show 
window no passersby noticed his presence or recognized him; 
not even endowed him with the acknowledgement of his being.

All kinds of gestures he made to attract passersby did not
