Best Grievous Poems
By ‘grievous matter’ with regard to sin mean that the thought
Word or deed which is committed must be either bad in itself
Or severely prohibited
And therefore sufficient to make a mortal sin if we deliberately yield to it
Traces of the masterful
impregnable prepubescent wall
still extant scads of decades since
complex edifice erected to force tall
permanently leaving me unmoored,
marooned, and furloughed ready for pall
bearers to spill soil upon my
then emaciated stick figure overall,
an unlovely bag of bones
stripped of flesh,
sans unseen deadly parasites,
who valiantly tried to mothball,
and nearly succeeded, kneaded,
and deeded landfall,
when aghast parents
at wits end betiding,
halting, and ramming ace kickball
player with serious
game of life and death,
the latter cleated toehold
unanimous decision to install
topnotch scorer anticipating
seeing his name plaque mounted
within glass encasement within guildhall,
faintly hearing inaudible teammates
praised showered, visited
head upon one, with grit and gall,
who clinched championship
wrathful excoriation against me
referee could not forestall,
who fumbled, kindled (as predicted)
loose tongues flaying hide with no rescue
to escape being skewered behind eight ball,
thus the above "FAKE"
metaphor merely to accentuate
self repudiation delivering
to this defacto scapegoat
bullies taunts endlessly berate
ting, jackknifing, and resulting
with implacable self hate
deferrening allowance,
asper my grant (migrant)
humph...pariah status
to learn social skills quite late,
and apathetically to marry and mate
despite ambivalence within my pate
even now...the entombed fortress prison wall,
I cannot obliterate
hence... no surprise WALLS - I HATE!
Time And Fate Have This Grievous Lesson Taught
Of all the virgin fields I once plowed
There were many meadows of purest gold
Not one to enjoy being in a crowd
Prideful that my honor never was sold
I in my haste once truly lost my way
Allowing Love to over me thus rule
I now understand and rule that dark day
For my stark blindness and being a fool.
As this too oft dark world seeks to destroy
Trap was set, she a sensual creature
Her ultimate goal take away my joy
Her ravishing beauty, her great feature
I dreamed, I begged for her sweet love
And she with her darkness played along
She was the ravenous wolf, I the dove
Teaching me depths of saddest lost love song.
Time and Fate have this grievous lesson taught
Fake love, lie in it - you will soon be caught.

Grievous Words

The harshness of a persons voice,
can distort the intent of a spoken word.
Though an apology always comes by choice,
it won’t erase any damage incurred.
Proverbs 15:1
“A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.”
