Best Defiant Poems
I will sit in silence...
feel your warmth...
the spice of life
cinnamon and sugar...
the bark of the tree
no longer lingers...
with an orange in her
pocket there she will
peel...so scarce...
today without share...
lemons lemons everywhere
not a drop to quell this thirst...
sunshine on my shoulder
without shade I tend burn
she could fall into
her mirror...
drink tea and fairy cakes...
...grab her top hat...
...not her style...
she'll stand firm with
her subject...forgive herself
allow her mind to float
elsewhere...
she'll study the spine of
wind in willows her memory
fondly recalls...
for in her life stress levels
rise...her mindset scrambles
for the positive...once more...
she has no one but herself
to blame...her passion
unleashed runs rife...
...she has to now work
twice as hard to relieve
this life of strife...
suddenly...reality hits...
in minds eye a plump plum
before her...
she laughs out loud...
melody of acceptance...rings
we rebuild what we have
done...now the big fix we bring...
life is not simple...the choices
determine our fate...
but for risk what a miserable
boring existence we ourselves
forsake...
...it won't fall from the sky...
character strengthened...
only from real life...
...this truth is my truth...
not plagiarized...
I won't reach for a rosary
my direct line will suffice...
this thing I've done...
was great...greater things
to come from self sacrifice...
the faith the believing
in oneself is the essence
of my healing...

Lyric
Grover Deaver drove his diesel down to Dover--
Down to Dover in the state of Delaware.
I told Grover that his rig was overloaded,
But Grover Deaver said he didn't care.

Standing on her own two feet, defiant
She looks you in the eye challenging, try it
She’s stubborn and proud, unyielding and brave
Vocal in her opinions and never afraid
She is Rebel, queen of the wronged
Black satin wings and remarkably strong
Her eyes of knowing seek only the lies
The truth she dispels, the source of the sighs
Tell her what’s right and she will prove them all false
She shakes up the core and quickens the pulse
She breaths in darkness but also the light
She’s neutral territory that stalks through the night
Seeking only what is proved to be wrong
No matter the consequences, she follows the song
For she is Rebel, contradictory extraordinaire
It is within her nature, where the faults lay bare.

I've been told by some that I am "defiant to the end."
and I guess that's true to some extent.
It's not that I have a problem with authority necessarily,
I just don't tolerate any authority that doesn't respect me or my community,
whether it's a boss or any leader of any country.
I am defiant to the end when defending even the most basic civil liberty.

Winds blow gently in melodic streams,
Mesmerized...I'm awake in dreams.
Limbs move lightly as tall grasses sway,
I know not, if this is night or day.
Wildflower scents wafting nearby,
Tears of joy slowly roll from my eyes.
As my awaited Luna shines brightly full,
The Sun's promise of Love to rule.
Stardust sprinkle and glitters the space,
As i look into a lake and see your face.
The surface waves your thin silken gown,
Upon your head, a Constellation Crown.
Radiant beauty causing jealousy above,
A union of forbidden Love...
Defiant of Fate's stern cruel scrutiny,
Independent now, in search of Love's Destiny.

Defiant Sun
As the day ends, dark, mountain like clouds, suddenly appear
Blocking our sunset view, ominous shadows inspire fear
Suddenly, a bright, white light shines forth, coming from behind
Outlining presumptuous clouds shape, ever so sublime
White lights glimmer, shining brightly, beckoning to the sun
"the day is not quite done, please, blaze forth O Majestic One"!
Defiant Sun shines, penetrates a hole in clouds defense
With blazing bursts of golden light, smoking hot like incense.
Weaknesses in clouds defenses, having now been exposed
Sun bursts, now ignite the blue sky, as rebel clouds explode
Clouds shred and dissipate into shards of silver and gold
These eyes of mine cannot process, these wonders I behold.
Proud clouds, could not enshroud, epic battle could not be won
The lesson has been learned, do not challenge Defiant Sun!

Sonnet
Stepping into the atmosphere
Of your near-sighted illusions
Masked by hollow words,
You asked me
To exchange my rareness
For a vague existence.
Self-indulgent conformity
For acceptance in a world
Where I do not belong
Should be my reward,
If only I would
Become your willing clone.
Your pretty veils of red
Paraded before me,
But it made you naked
In my eyes;
Shamefully revealed vulnerability
Was starkly alive.
I know who you are,
The spectacular voices
You listen to,
And I am the defiant one
Who has broken through
The walls confining you.
If my vision haunts you,
Brings you to your knees,
And leaves you quivering
In pathetic anxiety,
Then I will have brought
The truth to your door.
Don't you see?
Individuality will always
Ask the wrong question,
Reveal the rawness,
And pick at the scab
Of all you'd make me swallow.
So go on.
Scream about my defects
While I go under
For another breath.
I am numb
To your mutilation.
When we have reached
The other side of this hell
We will understand
The shadows where we hide,
But we are here now,
And I will not be raped by you.

You call me names and falsely accuse me/
Sometimes to my face, other times behind my back/
You don't think I hear you but I do/
You say I'm worthless, you call me a freak/
You don't think I deserve anything/
You only think that I should be destroyed/
You say I have no potential but you never/
Bother to listen to music or read my books to see otherwise/
You think I'll be better off dead/
But you don't really know who I am do you/
I am the son of the darkness/
I am marked by the Divine/
When you are gone, I will still be/
So call me names now/
But one day you will bow to me/
While I sit on a throne.../

Here I am
Alone again
Battling demons till the end
It’s me against them, how am I to win?
With a power bestowed upon a mortal man
One shot, one kill
Wait for all to gather & they make your blood spill
When all begin to rip off your flesh
Wait for the last minute when there’s almost nothing left
Then make your move---only then will you prove
Your "WILL" never depleted
And you can never be defeated

“NO! I WON’T”
“YOU CAN’T MAKE ME!”
Watch as I change your “do” to a “don’t”
How bad can the punishment be?
No video games?
So what!
No treat tonight?
Is that all you got?
You are the worst mom in the world!
The truth hurts, I know.
Just listen as my insults continue to unfurl.
I hate you, from your head to your toes!
I’m not holding back any blows.
I’ll show you that I can get my way.
No matter how much you oppose.
I’m the T-Rex and you’re my prey.
Don’t walk away from this fight.
I’m not done telling you how wrong you are.
And how I am so right.
Don’t try to tell me I’ve gone too far.
This is serious business.
You can’t possibly expect this of me.
My brother is my witness.
Finish all of my peas?
You know, I can’t eat anything green!
Unless, it’s mint chocolate-chip ice cream.

Strands of space lost in static surrounded me as I swirled.
Strawberry smirk scoured into my soul,
Heartstrings strumming on the words that pull.
It's true- you're darling and so dear.
But dearest fills the heart that spills with such fear.
My life- my doubt drawing so near to the brink of love,
Buried under a chorus of laughter descending from angels above.
But I stand and smile still,
Buried but breathing by sheer force of will!
Each spark of joy in my heart is an act of defiance,
Defying my heart and the nature of an unnatural world.

Today many have grown cold
about the seriousness of sin,
they shouldn't be justified
by their superficiality
towards righteousness and morality;
have they denounced
their faith and condoned
all they do without repugnance
when even themselves
are disgusted by their deeds
of pervasiveness?
Why can't sin be eliminated
from defiant minds...
smashing it with anger and become
shattered crystals?
Sin is the rod of lawlessness,
not of holiness:
it's an abomination
in God's angry eyes!
ah, Humanity you have brought
upon yourself punishment,
never realizing how disobedience
alienates you from His blessings!
ah, Humanity your water wells
are dry from the drought
of rainless days and excessive sunlight;
even your souls cry out of desperation!
I sincerely repented for my wrongfulness
being ashamed of my lustiness
of the restlessness inside;
I closed the book of salvation,
and greeted damnation
and overtaken by temptation
I rejected the justification.
Too short were the pleasures of the flesh,
too bitter were the tears of remorse;
too severe were the words rebuked by the conscience...
that constantly echoed to admonish
my uncontrollable behavior burning more than a wildfire.
Why do people fail to see the warning signs,
not thinking about the consequences of their actions?
Why can't sin be eliminated from defiant minds?
Can't they admit that sin is a human weakness...
when not enough resistance prevents deviations?
Why can't sin be obliterated from mean hearts
and erased from everyone's memory by repenting?
How many trials must the righteous ones endure?
Holy, God sitting on the throne of righteousness,
allow all sinners to comprehend the gravity
of their wickedness and mend their abhorring ways;
nobody is free from sin until they are cleansed!

Ode
Mine defense weapon
of choice comprises
standing stock
(lock, and barrel)
still like a statue, who
would not budge if
someone yelled "BOO"
cuz fighting back,
he did not eschew
on account of, his being puny
like one Ninja Turtle moo
tint, and quiet as Hebrew
service, which cowardly
behavior admittedly learned
early in said life,
(no matter such much ado
about nothing smart
ting emotional, physical,
and/or spiritual issue
destructive coping method),
whiz not true
lee healthy, and really wanted
to tell bullies "eff u"
while smacking brutish and nasty
short haired gentile or Jew,
neither response employed,
since "scared lad" knew
no confidence to
put up hazardous dukes,
and land "scape
goat head kid"
matter of fact contributed
to setting moss psyche askew,
which trademark docile withdrawn
modus operandi did Matthew
Scott Harris, (this
wordsmith) more harm
than (Sherry Jones),
his first goo goo
doll (me, her close in age beau
kindergartner - same as him
more'n fifty plus years ague),
she lived near,
this present crotchety
ole Scrooge, when cute
as a button little boy,
he considered (second residence
after parents relocated
from Cincinnati, O hi you),
to a corner house -
adjacent to Daily's
Family motley
cutting (insults) crue
on Lantern Lane
(within the neighborhood
of Apple Valley, Pennsylvania)
unsure if this poe whet
tick sketch I drew
clear as mud in your view.

Bio
I am a proud Satanist and Luciferian/
I'm not like any of them/
I'm the one grain/
That stands out from them all in my religion/
Violent is not my middle name/
Stupid is not my middle name/
Stupidity is my only sin/
Think whatever you want/
Regardless of what I've been through in life/
I'm better than that/
I created my own philosophy and live by it/
I bow down to no God, nobody, nothing/
I am my own God/
I have the intelligence/
Skills, talents of a God/
I have the knowledge of a God/
I'm not the same/
As anyone anywhere remembers me/
I have a high and mighty character/
The most piercing eyes in existence/
The most intimidating appearance in existence/
I can appear as the hardest in existence/
I can be the sweetest Romeo/
I am a shape shifter/
But, I am flawless, perfection/
My heart made of flawless gold/
I am a Luciferian Saint/
Despite what I've been through/
I'm better than that/
Yeah, some Satanists/
Gives my religion a bad name/
But they only have half a brain/
Some Christians gives/
Their own religion a bad name, too/
No difference/
Violent, stupid is not my middle name/
So, don't think otherwise/
My appearance can be shocking/
But, I am harmless/

Two piercing eyes of periwinkle glance by,
And four fierce claw-wielding pawns strut on.
Ears set far and smokey gray strands spike high.
This twirling tail spirals to the stars like a dizzy swan.
Her defiant stride shall change your mind
Of all that ridicule you are set to comprehend.
May you, for an instant, take a look at a divine,
Composite world that surrounds and transcend.
Loving auras enchant anyone who endures,
This beautiful ether we hold close by.
For great treasures, upbringing are yours,
To have and cherish for as long as you fly.
