clearly
i thought i could see clearly
clearly was an overstatement

there you were
an intruder in my concealment
leading me astray
insidiously blurring my vision

yet i pursued you without hesitation
uninterested in the warnings
how could i be so careless?

you brainwashed me
fed me lies upon lies
how could i be so stupid?

you made...

Premium Member Its Beginning To Look a Lot Like Crapitalsm
Once commenced the fest of feasting and giving thanks for genocide,
‘Tis the season to be jolly to replace our thoughts of suicide.

Santa claws his way into a child’s mind insidiously, 
And the air begins to reek again of yuletide idiocy.

The bliss of belief in an...

Premium Member The Atheist
The Atheist believes in Rationality
   He mocks all religious emotionality

Calls it the opiate of the masses, pie-in-the-sky
   The snake oil of sinister ministers, insidiously sly

Whereas Human Reason, the Atheist confidently opines
   Leads man -- become god -- to outcomes...

The Village On the Water Ii
Gradually the crystalizing dawn -- more hardened  
    Than folded steel --- more sharper than 
  The blade that cuts! 
   Wisps of thin vapour, once loitering insidiously 
 At the steps of each staunch door,
Swirling away --...

What Are We?
What are we to ourselves
lingo sought
scapegoats of our own identity
lost within the trials
of times temptations sought ~
to ne'er find struggle
we assail our own belief
and brashly condemn the world
for having the same frailty!
What are we ~
but children of contempt
for ourselves, for the intrusion
of someone else, who...

Premium Member Yet Again
Why are you back again?
you keep plaguing me,
creeping up on me
attacking me from within. 

Insidiously you invade,
loving my warmth 
and my sweetness settling
in, making yourself at home

You attack me slyly
not welcome in the least,
yet you do not care
what damage you do.

Four times now this year
you...

Sore Losers
.



In tight contests, 
rivals flash sour,
scheming smiles 
of ignominies.

                       Some are spiteful

Premium Member Grandpa's Weathered Red Barn
Grandpa’s rustic, once crimson red barn sheltered so much and so many different things
From biting bitter cold, to cyclonic winds, and hard-drenching-down-pouring rains…

Great memories lie heaped, buried in antique red rubble and sifted gray ash
Decaying on open flat grassy plain along with the historic Civil...

Premium Member On Halloween Night
On dark Halloween Night
The moon will lose its light
The goblins will hunt you
To cook your entrails into barbecue

There will be loud screams in town
Cry of crows will be heard all around
Ominous howls of wolves will be the worst
They’re Draculas’ Foreboding Blood-thirst

Ugly wraiths will hung themselves...

“SUMMER”



Where 
has Summer 
gone?

The world 
has lost 
Summer

Sweet 
little 
dream

missing 

all those other 
beautiful  
small dreams 

seen as toys
small and 
inconsequential 

casually tossed aside, 
disposable play,
things

pure shining lights
smiling eyes once so bright, 
switched off,

'neath 
smothering
blankets of frost

no tinkling remnants
of mischievous giggles, 
nor echo of...

Premium Member The Forgotten and Fluctuations of Awareness
"The Forgotten and Fluctuations of Awareness" 

When the crime 
was committed,
the writing 
was already on the wall,

no one listened. 
It climbed insidiously
out through the cracks
like a friendly tarantula.

that sad poet 
I read today,
she writes 
of dry mascara.

poet destroyer
what point to apply 
ink to windows, at...

Fear of Terrorism
Fear of Terrorism

T raumatized tortured tumultuous feelings of trepidation
E ncapsulating effervescing emotions everywhere eventually
R esponding rapidly to ruthless and relentless repetition of
R evelations of  revolutionaries remorseless rapaciousness
O bstreperously obliterating outrageously the innocent
