Best Duplicates Poems


Premium Member Show Me Television

The era of catatonic self-destruction has risen yet again from boulder-blocked caves,
Whose cavernous stalactite incisors drip with the blood of thorny crowns,
Worn in punitive irony for the subversion of fertile inferiority,
Which, like rabbits, duplicates and hops about in trouncing contentment.

Yet despite the grin stretched beneath empty eyes,
Which are eclipsed by dilation of cimmerian shades poured from tipped inkwells,
Darkness ripened by age has inflated its penumbral grasp upon the solar plexus.
Hearts beat now to the false circadian rhythm of telemetry.

Screens fueled by waves polluting the air scramble for attention;
Screaming as if the spotlight has slithered away from their thespian heads.
But even so we watch as if waiting for a nothingness we know.
Petulant performances pretending to perfect the perception of reality persevere,
Despite their lack of empirical validity.

Our bodies and the space around they occupy have become irrelevant.
Experience and physical stimulation have been replaced by mirror neurons,
Firing incessantly at the sight of electromagnetic facsimiles,
Which are vomited in projected disproportion into our unwitting faces,
From nauseating mouths of those whose disease has spread to lower echelons.

And so we sit and stare upon the square on walls and in our hands,
As the prefrontal cortex and its dehydrated lobes succumb to the reptilians.
Another era of lack of mind borne from the fruitlessness of parasitic seeds,
Planted by the pretenders who swim in the wealth of our applause. 
Clap away, we will, until we collapse in the arthritic solidification of redundant repetition.

Welcome to the show; a televised apocalypse of thought.
Where worlds were once created in cognition,
They're now created in the lenses of cameras.
When worlds were once refracted light coruscating from the eye,
They're now flickered in slides reflected from the television.

The Rest of Me

The rest of me is categorized as others
Including "It", "him" and "her", they're me's peers 
The philosophers have said it rather smart 
That all "it", "him" and "her"  are similar to "me''s physical traits 
But differ a lot in interests and ideas:

The democratic  politicians insisted that they are politically equal
And the human populationist believed: they are alive as a whole 
...
But something has long confused "me" is that
Why so many of  "it", "him" and "her" that "me"  never knew
 (in any sense, such as meeting in person 
 Or any relationships could possibly be existing)

I personally reckon  that "me" is a unique soul
And "it", "him" and "her" are duplicates as "me"'s shadows 
Because of the blood in me could never possibly  be immortal 
Once "me" is gone, "it" or "him" or "her" will come to  continue
...

Aunt Pat a Pallet of You

Blessed are we to have the gift of you.

Sunset skies illuminated in glorious shades varied 
Conjures memories of your loving smile
Your laughter paints the colours of rainbows seen

Like orchids rare you fill our hearts
Of visions of one of a kind memories
In this world of duplicates everywhere you stand alone

Mountains curtsy to strength unwavering 
Beauty and grace captured through rivers deep
Your love rooted strong as majestic trees

Nightingales carol and doves soar free
Your love cherished for all to see
Framed with your essence and love from family

Premium Member She

^she_

^she_  had a love/hate relationship with food
she only fed with her eyes,
i was a sparkless firecracker 
and spoke English like i hated it.

not the least bit compatible
in any department 
at any hour on any menu
she wouldn't even drink the water.

I would slip through the cracks 
should she stop staring at me
up and down her beautiful 'it is'
she lit an incense and i was ignited.

i offered up an apple
a yellow delicious manifested
i peeled it for her
but she wouldn't taste it.

i laid eyes on her lips 
kissed with dark secrets
an awakening of insects
with equal day and night.

She ate me with her eyes
clear, bright, ripe
it rained on the fruit
and i took a bite.

I spoke to the grain in her ear
i had so much to say
succulent was my speech
She took it all in.

potash, stolen, honey and rye
sup the festal dish don't cry
she had parted the thin line
between a want and it's fill.

I lapsed into that petri-dish
pierced by her green staring
Her warm glassy ogling
all up and down my countenance.

Nourished of palate perception
She relished on her diet.
I indulged as her entrée
feasting her with my gaze.

It would take a while
like a gala supper without wine.
^she_ would  have no seconds
no weakness for flavor of the same.

well fed and fed up
she checked me out
her unusual hunger
gave me best regards

No repeats nor duplicates since
such foodstuff is most uncommon
Her daily bread was nurtured
with the edibles of my mind.


The End.

Premium Member Tangible Frost

genuine love
like a dove

chattel for cattel
cattel as chattel

frosty the snow man?
or the glow ran?

as wisps of flakes on the wind
God can you please rescind or resend

that snowflake that never duplicates
cause I sure like this one, so replicate

uniqueness got my attention now
but in itself it's lost somehow

like whispers on the wind never retold
how far do snowflakes grow old?

For eternal energy I'm fold
for a snowflake I will never scold

Tangible frost
a valued frost

The Paint Mover - Art-Poetry


The poet paints deep thoughts with words
      the artist duplicates with paint;
          sometimes described as 'sister arts',
disparities are only faint.

So passionate my need to draw
     before my art with words began;
          emotions caught with crayons first
and then with flowing paint, they ran.

Great images I longed to seize
     to capture nature with a brush,
and with my colors blending life...
          within my soul, I felt the rush.

Like meter, rhyme, a paintbrush moves
     to balance rhythms of a scene
portrays deep beauty for the eyes...
          'art-poetry'...not read, but seen.

The Incurable Society's Ills

Two scales must always be within an approximate range
for an accurate weight, and the close relationship
between the Humankind and God must withstand any change.


Solutions must be found before catastrophe approaches,
and if we were caught by surprise, we would regret the outcome;
less trees should be cut down to make room for buildings.


Thieves, murderers and rapists should be held in contempt
and thrown into dungeons...instead of giving them cosy cells,
the Law admits that's just to punish, but inhumane to torment.


Nightly streets have been taken over by muggers, drug dealers
and prostitutes, now called escorts, haven't changed their lewd attitude;
even madams of the brothels open doors for the well-dressed sirs.


Society has gone mad, and it has condoned both sexes of equal desires;
never was Sodom and Gomorrah as iniquitous and lustful as this one;
God forbid...I entered this city and be found guilty of their perversions!


While on the outskirts, in run-down homes poverty duplicates its horrible woes,
politicians' corrupt hands are not seen...pocketing money that Congress approved; 
and the suffering of the poor is plagued by famines that turn into deadly diseases.


Crooked judges are manipulated by criminal defense lawyers who have handfuls of cash;
justice can never be served when criminals are given their parole, and the innocent, 
humble men are detained and put behind bars, because of their limited wealth.


Proud hearts see neither simplicity nor beauty in anything that evolves into splendid light; 
self-praise, greed, bluntness and invulnerability are the rules they live and swear by;
humbleness is unacceptable and insignificant...it's a virtue which diminishes their pride.

Words So Sweet

WORDS SO SWEET.


Cultivating from this tangerine
Tree
Liquid recipe, her content carry's
Pedigree,
Green shaped leaf is my identity.
What is time without the latitude
Of man's mind?
Am surprised, this ordinary ink
Begins to see things.
Follow me on this trace into
Unlimited might, lighting sign's
Apostles of translucent sight.

Today you read Words So Sweet,
As sentences duplicates into 
Centuries
Not speaking of her voluminous
Territory 
Basically her harvested energy
Equals particles of spiritual
Clergy.
You my darling so sweet,
I prostrate murmuring indefinite
Blessings,
Never have I pictured you in a
Coffin
Stand by me when am coughing
Become my hobby,
I hear your voice even when you
Say noting.

Accept this infant milk from
A mother to feed her pretty
Daughter at age two,
I mount my back for you
To scale through.
Let Wrinkles never beautify 
Your face
Dark and fair will definitely 
Read this page.
Poetry was created for you
Never to hate
WORDS SO SWEET is a stage,
To you who love's and see
To the growth of wisdom in
Every adorable medium,
Poetry is my name.

Hydras - a Rhythm Ride

I come not to enlighten you 
but in my way destroy; 
embellishment of personhood 
gives me such little joy. 
The dark I bring on wings scarred black 
shall blind the morning light; 
No trace is left to levitate 
humanity from blight. 

Tell parasitic paranoids 
who need to bleed their hate, 
I am the Hydra coiled to wrap 
around their garden gate. 
I'll feed upon the multitude 
your little bastard brood, 
to satiate the darkest fate 
of my eccentric mood. 

This universe in multiples 
(beyond redundancy) 
where thoughts are bound to mind around 
a new complexity. 
The time has come to end the end 
begun so long ago; 
the human race is baseless space; 
corruptions putrid flow. 

And I have countless duplicates 
who rival even me; 
lips drip to sip your succulence,
a feast consumed with glee. 
If could grasp this world within 
the palm of your right hand, 
you will not be released or free 
to walk this worthless land. 

It is a universal vice 
I share with you this day: 
All life will ebb in ember fires 
turned cold and powder gray. 
You ask of Poets in my world? 
I say they all are ONE, 
each moving like a metronome 
until their verse is done. 

You pass these perfumed days of rest 
'neath flowers round your gate; 
but wretched stink of old decay 
enjoins Mephisto's hate. 
I write my rhyme in verse to curse 
and tease with soulless ease. 
Perhaps I write to steal your fright - 
we Hydras love to please. 

Now count the words for I shall not 
and you will find them true - 

I RODE THE ROAD OBLIVION 
IN RHYTHM RIDE TO YOU!!

Life..Is It?

Looking though
the looking- glass
peering, wondering
when will this end?
Duplicates swirling without hindering
my imagination
the colors, fox trotting
across my eyes
When the mountains laugh
their belated laugh
and when the birds cry
their distressing warbles
will the looking- glass mystery
ever
end?

It's Better To Receive
Multiple Incredible Things
That You've Always Wanted...

Than Duplicates Of
Things You Already Have
That Are Still Incredible.

Usually.

But Should It Be?

Does Novelty Just Satisfy
Present Uncertainty?

Dreams

Dreams 
Are likened to streams
They are quiet 
But well balanced in diet
Very trickish
And slippery
They come and go with ease
Raise your hopes as they please
And leave your head full of wishes
Unending wishes and a times very selfish.

Dreams 
Are like films
But mostly you are the actor
With an invisible director

Dreams
They move in speed
And just like ships
They take you from this land 
Across to another land
In a matter of seconds
Yet it keeps all the records
In your head
So that you don’t forget

Dreams
Are like airplanes
The fastest transport means
Its pilot is the human spirit
Which takes you places before you know it

Dreams
Can be artistes a times
They present you in different styles
Make duplicates of you at the same time
In different sizes and places

Dreams 
Can be deceitful 
And also truthful
They can be the most mysterious producers
But they are ways God also communicates with us
They are also means by which evil missions are achieved
We should beware of this fellow called ‘dreams’.

Premium Member Critterature: Of Mice and Moose

If the plural of mouse is mice,
And more than one louse is lice,
Then it seems to me, that logically,
The plural of grouse should be grice.
A single goose duplicates into geese,
A mongoose produces mongooses,
So let me stick out my neck
And ask why the heck
The plural of moose is moose,
And not meese,
Or much better yet,
Why not mooses?

Author's note: Dear reader, if you're interested in a little more along this line, I invite you to take a look at my article/essay, "The Wonderfully Awful English Language".

Premium Member Blush

Cheeks slightly blush
a dazzling little flush
enchantment of the eyes
flutters through the skies

And

Duplicates the grin
cascading once again
a radiant touch of sun
friendship has begun

To

Blossom into more
emotions do explore
these tiny thoughts of
falling in love

Father

I write to you with nothing 

I write to you not knowing who I am in you 
I write to you with just thoughts, ideas of the ideal man 

Dear father I write to you in prayer, with my knees on the floor, in thought and with hands in the air 
Father I sing to you 
I praise you and see your hand everywhere 
Father I write to you with tears and a pain only flesh may bleed to please 
Father I see you seeing us from heaven and in wonder that you have left your son in each of our hearts, leaving us wondering how much we mean as your sons on Earth. 
Father Oh how great thou art, crafted in living 
How much you mean to us. 

Dear loving Father. 
A father who motivates, greatness in morals and being an example 
Dear Father oh how you have molded me in age, vision and in your xyz of principles 
Father I watch you in awe 
Watching your chess moves of living and being the king of our home. 
Tat'omdala indoda which knows to respect and love 
A Father I hope to be, how I mean to be you and walk in your enormous shoes 
How much you mean to us. 

Dear Father who isn't there. 
How much I mourn your presence. 
Dear Father how could you let me hang in a flag of colourless colour as I motivate to motivate being a man. 
Dear Father how much I mean to have seen you hold me and just say four letter. 
Dear Father I write to you with my tears and emptiness 
In my pain of hoping I may finally have someone I look like, who may correct my wrongs 
How much you mean to me. 

Dear selfish Father 
Oh how I hate you 
Dear Father may you be blessed in a terrible sorrow 
Father I write to you hoping you'd just say sorry and not return as it is you I scorn 
Oh father who abused and hit my mother in days of intoxication 
Oh father who never gave me anything, not even a name 
Oh how much your actions of pain have removed the manliness in man 
How much you mean to me 

Dear future fathers. 
May money and pride never seem to appetise you 
Fathers may you be real men who love their daughters and duplicates enough to mold them into real instruments of a better world 
Dear future men, may morals still be applicable to you in spite of all this twerking and foolish deeds 
Dear men I write to you for you to love and honour your wives 
And to continue growing as I honour how much you mean you to me.
