Best Contradicts Poems


Premium Member Women are like Wild Honey
They start thick— 
not the polite kind you stir into tea
not the mild drizzle on breakfast toast
but the kind that runs hot
slow
dangerous 
coating your tongue before you grasp
the price of its pleasure.

They start golden— 
dripping off the comb 
sun pressed into their marrow 
too rich,...

Bloodless - Tale of a Hero and the People He Died For
You knew you were going to die. 1
And yet you came, thinking no matter how insane,
the man on the seat of power would never want you dead
… it would be too much on his head.

And so you came, and there in the brightness of the...

Confessions of a Henpecked Man
Do you dare to hear this story,
listen to the rant of a cuckold tale
This story will give you nightmares
if your masculinity has begun to fail

Despondent voice of said henpecked man
was recorded secretly at a support group therapy session

He swear he loves his wife,
don't know why...

There Was Born Only One Perfect Human
To write in a 'poem' that one is perfect
and worse yet, made that way by God
is to be guilty of arrogant disrespect
when it's yourself you praise and laud.

A humble person, who is mild and meek
would never pen something so absurd
and risk insulting God... His anger...

Premium Member To Those About To Leave
As wisdom falls through apertures of the sky
forever evanescent in nature passing us by

We are told too frequently to know our place
or there'll be consequences that we'll face

Still, a man must do what a man must do
sometimes this concludes taking a different avenue

When a man...

fear of missing your ''self''
there may be times when you think that everything's changed...
but you look around, and you still don't see anything for what it is...
so you willingly forfeit the hope of what could be, in exchange for the theory that should be.

so naturally, you incline towards your...

Premium Member Psychotripic Theory of Everything
Compassion co-arises nondually 
internal-external.

Today I want to talk about possibilities
for integral polycultural dynamics,
which are systemic relationships,
correlations,
between LeftBrain deductive ego-mind,
RightBrain inductive eco-body,
and a boundary between these bicameral landscapes,
which we call unconsciousness.

The feasibility
and health value
of recognizing this phrase, "unconscious mind,"
as an oxymoron
may have optimally Continuous Quality Improvement...

Such Big Ideas
SUCH BIG IDEAS

White man lies.
He is just a crack among the flies.
He is not blowing any minds.
He must know that the lives he contradicts despise him.
His stance is he is walking for a cause.
He states that it is illegal to discriminate against White folks.
He expresses...

Premium Member A Brief Epistle in Urgent Forewarning against Melancholia--Part I
(Somewhere in late 18th-century Europe a friend, Laetitia, by way of a letter warns her beloved girlfriend, Euphoria--a young, gay and unsuspecting mistress--against the almost inevitable seductions of the infamous and maundering philanderer, Melancholia.).



Dear Euphoria,

     Melancholia is one of the more...

Clone
To parents
I am the replacement
The new hope
To medicine
I am multi donation
An organ harvest
For a sick nation
To agriculture
I am renewal , without obligation
Mutton always dressed as lamb
To politicians
I am a universal pawn
To be bartered or  thrown away
To war
I am the never ending battle
Action replays ,...

The Train To the Paradise
On the death bed for cessation, a platform free from brawl, 
I perceive in peace my debilitating breath.
And give off a brief one as I hear my call,
The one from the train to the paradise.

My soul boards it on, waving a good-bye to my body...

Premium Member Haiku Journeys
Hot humid heatwave
Discomfort percolates long;
Sudden drenching rain

~~~~~~~~~


Sexy curvy strides
Vibrant elegance catwalks;
Hungry eyes focus

Two stray cats fighting
Furious body language here;
Small tigers draw blood

~~~~~~~~~


Ancient atmosphere
Old tea house in the city;
Strange calligraphy

~~~~~~~~~


Bus-stop commotion
Two drunken men in a brawl;
Tipsy foreign tongues

~~~~~~~~~


Temple bells sounding
Distant chanting rituals heard;
Prayer for our times
