Best Irreverently Poems
The In-Between
"The In-Between"
I ripped the pages of
that tired old story
from the heart, a body of work
buried the misdiagnosed slanders
then wiped their mouths
with the back of my spoon
the feed they found,
passed the disingenuous time;
some found it hot, others -
scratching the surface
paltry yard confounded,
some alarmingly...

What Is This LifeWhat is this life…reality?
Why do I question it relentlessly so?
So many moments seemingly meaningless
Meandering through this meaningful sentience,
Chronology…
Continuity…
Spirituality…
But reality, Oxford will tell you:
Property of being real, resemblance to Origional.
Accountable, in my opinion, only through dissemblance.
What I ask, is original?
It’s all rather subliminal
Made up by man...

The Dilettante Diaries: the Bumble Bee Big Blue Sky Boston Two Step On Love Street
The Dilettante Diaries: "The Bumble Bee Big Blue Sky Boston Two Step on Love Street"
She said, "Pffft Bumble Bees Rule,
No Bees, no World
Shy Little Hearts
Big power
freedom wings
realised
dreams into reality
unfurls
Who’s to write that story?
She’s just a girl
In a Boston Two Step World"

The Vagaries
"The Vagaries"
You could go all Zen over Me,
I’d listen studiously, then, spit it out
like cherry seeds for integration
the flesh of it all,
"The Past", savoured;
"The Future",
for lame time-wasting
poetic rebels pretending
to be connoisseurs, parlaying -
"The Now", struts irreverently,
dealing its Bolchevistic
cards
and there sits You,
holding the mirror...

Azure Vistas
"Azure Vistas"
Azure vistas presented themselves to me
rolling inwards the clouds like tumbleweeds
mercilessly bump fallen angels off the map
like torrents of rain falling petulantly on blunt contracts
I glimpsed the sweet refrain of a resurrection
swift upon a storm of golden rays
the bare feet of new tongues...

Blue Sky, Why
"Blue Sky, Why?"
stories speak to us.
inside our heart
is crying.
Blue Sky, Why?
why do children
holding sunflowers
watch their parents die
why do sweet children,
now war torn,
some the battle's orphans,
daily lose their lives
lying in their sick beds
bombed in hospitals
huddled under classroom desks,
in schools, still in kindergarten,
the littlest crying...

Words We Cannot Escape
“Words We Cannot Escape”
Words we can no longer speak
we tap dance over keys
bruised blackly numb
Winter palette in hand
Autumn now gone
across white-washed notes fixated on stark enclosed walls
the scent of old Lavender swimming in its vanilla escapes us
each word appears miraculously in...

Birth of Venus
"Birth of Venus"
The yo yo
bleeds and bends
a life haunted by ghouls
green nymphs
blowing pixie dust
kissing bottom
a donkey’s soul
tight rope walkin' -
all for love
trust
is the pill
swallowed
suspension;
addiction,
the lies laid
believed in cut perfection
the trapeze drop
plays purple rain
prisoners
seeking sanity
the...

The Shop, Daily 2828.
So this is the little shop
That you wish to stake your claim
Fill your precious storehouse
With sundries and fame.
So this is the commercial alter
That you pray to every night
Sell your cheap drink umbrellas
Hit on miracle sprites.
So this is the fun palace
That you built upon the...

Understood
"Understood"
My feet stand solemn
grounded they're barefoot
sinking in the undertow,
feeling what’s real
my toes grip the past
while the slow words
wash it irrevocably away
the ego sashays
and hangs that Faust in the wardrobe
Locks it away
turns the key
I put it on my tongue
swallow the meaning of that,...

Stimulation: Paradise of PassionParadise of passion has dawned upon my mind of my once dusked mindset (desired future of peace that has transformed my mind that was of darkness for the better)
I'm envious of others' ecstasy for some reason still unknown to me and it gets me...

Jamaica -A ConversationJamaica, Jamaica, Jamaica now day comes bright
Her white dress lifted over blue legs of mountains
Marbled to the sky. It drank diamond littered night
Leaving nothing but an empty cup, where fountains
Of rivers use to full the bosom of the sea with milk.
I stand under the...

SavagesThey run my neighborhood.
Constant, breaking only for food.
Movement unending, shifty eyes.
Dirty plans, planning lies.
Languidly, they go walking.
Loud. Irreverently talking.
On the weekends,
they multiply. They gather.
Parties abound.
Their neighbors don't matter.
I try to enjoy my tea in peace,
while odd jobs they fleece.
Rolling up and down the street
on...

Jinxed Jesting Jejune Junior JobberJinxed jesting jejune junior jobber...
just jabbering gibberish (A - J)
Again, another awkward ambitious
arduous attempt at alphabetically
arranging atrociously ambiguously
absolutely asinine avoidable alliteration.
Because...? Basically bonafide belching,
bobbing, bumbling, bohemian beastie boy,
bereft bummer, bleeds blasé blues, begetting
bloviated boilerplate bildungsroman,
boasting bougainvillea background.
Civil, clever clover chomping, cheap
chipper cool cutthroat clueless clodhopper,
chafed...
