Disturbing Dance

how it is on the floor of dance,
the touching feeling sweet romance,
disturbing of the slumbering lance,
will he go too far this time,
perchance,
the question keeps arising...
Don Johnson

Premium Member A Secret Kept

Questions rolled through my meek emotive drift.
No answer quick aided my bleak heart rift.
Was this just my intended soul growth hit
or aimed as her fear and faith lesson kit?
Could this drama be a shared karma script?

The same tree roots nurtured us until grown.
The same backdrop displays memories sown.
Never had our love absorbed a sharp tone.
Unconditional love has always shown.

Damn the man for using my love for her
as a hush guarantee bound to occur.
She may never know a heart saboteur
growls beneath his displayed domestic purr.

I knew I must forgive the man some day
but first I wished God to direct my way.
My senses listened for a vibe array.
In time, spirit flashed an answer display  - -

For now her growth entails false lived merry
over emotions heavy to carry.
Acceptance released all held contrary.
As for the ass, he’s at karma’s mercy.

Disturbing Don Trump

Disturbing Don Trump

To do some things we were reluctant
Especially ones we found to be repugnant
Between liking and disliking had a hinge
Should I fully accept or take revenge.

We took a chance and chose to compare
And after we all did become fully aware
Discovered where it originated and came
Both ends had ended up being the same.

Each one appeared to appear like a slob
Two ends were dumber that a door knob
With insignificance was fully saturated
Discovered they were poorly educated.

Trump did decide to eventually vote for
With his entertaining ability would adore
In log, intelligence was like a little lump
On dead stump wanting to vote for Trump.

What I always thought between you and me
Is if you were lost on top of a tall tree
Casting over countryside your each site
Find Don Trump bearings you just might.

Very Disturbing

Rains will not come to my land.
Bisexuality starts a **** walk.
Blackbucks were hungry.

The stray dogs were barking
at moon. Into the night goes
the snake without any truth.

Nearly over the scooped –
protection of virginity
against the dazzling hirsutism.

Lost fortune of the flaunted
Buddha. I have no legs
to bow down before the pale god.

This is the sex: there are
strawberries. Have a pick
of comets, bleeding.

Premium Member A Disturbing Train of Thought

The hypnotic thrum of the wheels
Drumming smoothly along the tracks
Inside the early morning hush
Broken by the rare stifled cough
The casual rustling of a newspaper
And the whisper of sporadic conversation.

A body slumped against the window
Business papers being scanned
Earpieces inviting oblivion to the outside world
Anxious glances thrown at watches.

The driver whistles quietly to himself
Glad that soon his shift will be over
Trees ,bushes,houses and bridges 
Slide past,silent observers of the passing scene.

What is that?He stiffens
The crucifixion shape on the parapet
The manual did spell out such eventualities.
Uselessly he slams on the brakes

He glimpses the inward looking eyes
The body glances off the windscreen
The brakes screech and squeal
And the acrid stench of burning flesh fills the air.


The sickening jolt throws 
Everyone awake.
Time grinds to a halt.

Disturbing Times

dire
necessary
and urgent.  be careful.
don't be desparate.  think clearly.
hurry


Disturbing

forensic tools hone…
cold up heaved sandstone
brushed down to the bone

Disturbing Presence

Disturbing Presence

There are things that to many may amaze
Just like Poetry Soup becoming a big craze
Beyond belief sometimes we seem to find
Bringing on poetry skills and peace of mind.

Soup's comfortable and completely relaxing
No problems when emailing or doing faxing
Advertisements can cause an incredible delay
But have much patience some people will say.

About poetry benefits could go on and on
Hope great picture have painted and drawn
Now that things way up are starting to clear
You want my disturbing presence to disappear.

Disturbing

He is disturbing when I use him
When I see the hoe at my doorsteps
I squeeze his morals in one word, "tyrant"
My feet he eats greedily in gardens
The energy stored he sips away
How many innocent creatures suffer?
Ants, earthworms, beetles, rats, snakes
Friend, foe, young, old, dead, alive
This guy cuts tongues of plants as well
The ones sent on duty to fetch water
So merciless, so reckless, so remorseless
An angry crime perpetrator in society
But I love this guy with sincere heart. Why?
He democratically suffers to all clients

Disturbing Signs of Decadence

Anywhere we look there are signs if decadence:
from teens rebellion to perversion and violence;
didn't God clearly state, " Honor your parents? "
Have His words gone unheeded as many proverbs?
Unruly children, don't be easily stirred to anger,
take time to listen and you may learn to bear:
it's not that cool talk on a dangerous street corner...
there, evil grows and gives hearts great power.
I grew up in a God-fearing home, where prayers were a must,
and kindness a required gesture to implement trust;
no tantrums were allowed when foul rage burst...
all you heard was, " Bow your head and pray to the Holy Ghost! "
Dare to ask me, if I am extremely glad to have listened and obeyed;
try to embarrass me with derisive remarks, or make me feel bad!

DISTURBING THE PEN

what creeps
in?

insanity of sorts,

leaking
in,

instead of out.

it dribbles
out,

like drool or frothing foam.

it comes
from

the inner sanctum,

barely a
stream,

scissors snip away at contentions,

invention of
hate.

bitterness and cacophony invades.

you toss and turn,
laughing.

like a crazy fool, do not turn over

and look at
the underside.

drip, drop, drip,
on the roof of
your head.

clear your mind and begin again,

putting pen to
paper,

even bend and fly that plane.

ramblings are...
just that.

Conjure up a complete thought.

i see you hiding in the
corner,

cobwebs like sticky curtains.

madness laughs
uproariously.

how insane you look when humor beds your pen.

friction of match
complains,

as a scintilla of flame recognizes your waning brain.

Perturbing and Disturbing

Perturbing and Disturbing

Pleasant people will never be perturbing;
Are always pleasing and not disturbing;
Looked around,
And I found,
Unpleasant presence should be curbing.

Doorway Six - Disturbing Scifi

“F”, we’ll call him Felipe
Felipe found a doorway
he didn’t mean to
he wasn’t looking for it
and at first he wasn’t aware 
he’d gone through it
but something was off
shades of familiarity
were centred off-centre
ripples among ripples
enticingly chiselled 
casting a darkness
slyly across shadows
against a background veil 
but where Felipe was now 
an intrigue kept him, lured
for now one of the numbers
he had found a world
in a world that found him
“F”, we’ve called him Felipe
is still watching you
but from nearer, afar

Disturbing Career

This is a career politician
The one who tells you,
fluently what he knows not,
promises what he can’t give,
gives hope on the already.
believing in shadowy ideology
Its disturbing career in Africa
