BECAUSE OF JUST ONE POETESS

I let go of living in sadness.
My life seemed going nowhere,
and looking back now, it all
seemed like madness!

It wasn't because she did
gymnastics with boorish 
poetic forms.
Nor was she cute or wordy.
using only the shortest
forms.
I was in search for something
far deeper that healed...

Wee Hours
Another eve of another day
shrinks to wee hours;
the only light flashes dim
from a distant lamppost. 

My mind’s contrarily still charged 
with words, chores, lists, sacred places,
mountainous memories,
and then a thought that hasn't visited in awhile…of you.
You, a caricature of your best self,
a demon of strangled...

Glory To Thermodynamics In General
Glory to thermodynamics in general...

and generation of heat in particular
cuz yours truly 
spoiled with trappings 
of Western Civilization.

How ideal I imagine 
to dwell in a self sufficient domicile,
where thrum of the central heater...
automatically activated 
upon advent of twilight,
or self adjusted/regulated 
based on outside temperature 
since...

Afraid
Uncertainty has been clouding my thoughts for months now
Because you have never once 
Expressed how you felt 
After I blurted out those three little words. 

You have yet to tell me, 
Your feelings,
So I can move on.

Your jealously annoys me. 
But your touch teases, yet...

The Trouble With Poets
is that they never tell the truth,
and if by accident, they occasionally 
come near to any kind of truth
they tend to get hives, 
or shake uncontrollably.

We shouldn’t expect them to be truthful,
it’s asking too much. 
Would we demand a dog 
cook its own dinner,
or a...

I'M Unhappy With Fifa 16
I’m Unhappy with FIFA 16

I'm unhappy with FIFA 16.
Passing's no good, the 
transitions sloppy.  15 was 
better: more excitement, maybe a banal
pleasure in how my plays tend to line up 
centre and build up to easy goals.

14 was much too fast for 
leisure but...

Fritillaria, (Snakes Head)
Where diamonds shape a lantern
harlequins are taunted in jest,
which inaugurates the conviction
attracting an upheld stance.
They stare like a drastic mistake;
thinking it was a corn snake.

Warily, from side to side, surprise!
one way or the other fully fixed; 
around those surrounding sceneries 
hypnotic is the way its...

Glory To Thermodynamics
and spoils of Western Civilization.

Thrum of the central heater...
manually activated upon advent of twilight
(since yours truly not resident within "smart home"),
nevertheless warm cockles and muscles
appreciate basking, and luxuriating,
within climate controlled environment,
whether bone chilling deep freeze of winter

sets indentured jaws chattering
or contrarily when sweltering
hazy, humid and...

Premium Member The Way
Wondering, pondering, contemplating
The moments when I’ve felt different
Because of my ideas, my dreams, my feelings
The way I think and the way I believe
Struggling to be who I am inside my heart
Instead of someone who is merely playing a part

Thinking of all the ways I might,...

Political Chicanery
By Franklin Price
8/20/1015

Political chicanery
Are spoken words I say
Slightly bending of the truth
Is the politician's way

If uttered words can scrambled be
To turn the meaning 'round
I think I can quite manage
To pound them in the ground

Excuse me while I practice
Take time to coalesce
I haven't done a...

Sunrise,Come Quickly
As my tripping footsteps
enter deeper into the path of intense darkness,
I start feeling the trance of trepidation
and much despised misery 
seaps through me with a sense of admonition;
the night owls cold eyes immovably glare
to confine me into their scary stare...
until I dash off rapidly!

Sunrise,come quickly
to...

Premium Member The Kiss of Death
The kiss of Death is sure to be enticing
Filling up confused humans
With powerful orgasms
As to cause them
A change of existence!

For that kiss have I been waiting for
Dreaming and fantasising about it
As would a princess totally
In love with its charms,
Wanting to feel the comfort
Of the freedom...

This Love Is Killing
It has taken a little time to unleash this feeling,
Contrarily, it will take a lifetime to erase it cause its enduring,

Sweet lady don't think i will leave this to hung on the balance
'Cause i wont live without your charming glance,

I only besiege heaven to help...

Foundations
Foundations

What are you building your foundation on,
Solid Rock, or quicksand?

A foundation built on solid rock has staying
power, withstanding the test of time.

Contrarily, a foundation built on
quicksand is never steady.
It does not matter how quickly you build
upon it or how much you build:
Every piece of your...

Cold Season
Window curtains in my room sway with the silent winds;
The cold smog crawls on the frozen garden covered with the mists.
I see everything slowly fades but the splendor around never chagrins.

Would it be romantic to stare at the fog in the middle of a secret...
