I woke up today
I am sure I did
Or have I?
I slowly unwrapped myself from my bed
Groggy and yawning
I was off to write the constitution
Should I failed in this endeavor
I shall hope to have enough gasses left
For a poem or two 
About who knows what?

Countries are...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...that's what I told her...but she didn't believe
Used to ugliness and cold crime scenes
Like a bad dream...smelling roses while gettin tangled up in thorns
Pain of death...pain of being born
Wet,cold,and wartorn
There is no bottom to her her bottomless hole
She's...

“Seventy-four is about apology,” said Ferdy. 
“Well apology and memory. 
If you have literary pretensions, it's about 
apology and narrative.” 

Ferdy's class sat there dumfounded. 
This was a little different from the usual class. 
“The only question left is 
how much apology is needed? when...

The joy that used to lit your face,
has now been erased.
Your face now shadowed.
hollowed.
Plastered with disdain

I knew you before you knew yourself.
I got pulled in by your light,
Now i stare at this reflection before me,
dread tugs at my heart,
At the sudden realization,
You are not you...

Stumblin' through the haze
In a dumfounded daze
In a muddled malaise
Like a mouse in a maze

Broke and blase
Stuck in my ways
My libido won't blaze
My mojo betrays

Got a glaze in my gaze
Got nuthin' to praise
Hope it's only a phase
Or just one of those days......

I had by no means celebrated Christmas in the past with such love
                  Until thy lord presented thee to me on Christmas Eve

From Psalm 91:05
No terror by night nor arrow by day...
Shall destroy me, divide me, or lead me astray
The devil gets played as prophets get paid
Rebellion and rage turn into love, law, and order
Another demon gets murdered
Another hellion gets lost in the haze
No terror by night...

Son of the devil I am
Am I, I a psychologically 
Misunderstood individuality
Emitting my soul in the caress of hypochondriasis
Believing in the many illness of fame 
Belligerently dumfounded to using a needle point frame 
On the oasis of my flesh 
To depict-ate past failures, un-relieved stress...

Googled and Bamboozled 

When she saw my eyes they both were googled
Causing her to be dumfounded and bamboozled
And then ended up becoming completely baffled
When off all my entire brains had been raffled.

How big of a hint do you ever have to receive?
Before belligerent mind soon...

Like some grinning mad ghost scratching at the side door of your senses
Begging to come inside to bring you wrath and wickedness
Bringing cold where it's warm
Bringing scariness where it's safe and secure
Bringing scattered shouts where it's silent and serene
Sociosarcastic...an all star symphony
Wind outside your window...whispering...

CLIPPED NOT CUT

bed of nails
clipped not cut
lie scattered
brittle rough

dumfounded words
scrawled slam shut
desecrated lies
marginalized

hawk scoops down
fallflawed brain
grabbing claws 
mental drain

an empty line
clipped not cut 
and dry

As a delivery driver, I had a right to that space.
I calmly requested him to allow me to park.

I had time sensitive deliveries, but he said,  “No!”
It was a loading zone designed for people like myself.

But it was Christmas, and parks were very difficult...

Logical Meets Illogical 


Are we
ever happy
inside,really,
or  dumfounded
under hopes.

Always, questions
elude serious
investigations, bewilders
ordinary, acknowledged
understanding.  

Alarming solutions, 
explanations to
intricate queries, 
obviously will
unsettle. 

Antonyms come, 
enthralling, philosophical
in nature
once realized,
unforgettable.
