Best Misconstruing Poems

I wake, my eyes rapidly wandering; 
Avidly searching for the source of the tapping.
Held captive by the sight demon with it's repulsive hellish guise. 
Lingering; Hidden amongst shadows it stares while I let loose my cries.   

Raising my shield of comfort, blocking my...

"Conceive true deception multiplied a million fold
 visualize the yin and yang in a battle so intense
 that we get em confused
 the resident evil specialize in misconstruing

 We wanna be at a presidential level -- what are we doing?
 foolin' ourself, clownin ourself, playin...

Alfredo always abhorred angry approaches
After an amigo accosted after an argument
And, afterward, Alfredo abstained arguing,

Because blackening bruises betrayed blather
Berniccio blindly behaved better, bravely
Becoming brotherly before blasting bullies!

Carefully commandeering calmer Carlos,
Claiming cool comradeship courageously
Communicated clever candid conversations.

Dandified Darius decided daring dialogue
Dangerously divisive, declined discourse,
Deliberately discrediting dainty...

How mysteriously mythical
And mystical you look
Magnificently minute 
Maritime majestic migrants
More than marginally manic
Mesmerizing meanderers
Masterpieces
Peacefully going about
Your business
Magical make-believe
Monarchs of the sea
Upright and elegant
In your mannerly march

Moonstruck prone to 
Misfortunes and misadventures
Oft mostly monologuing 
In monotonous monotony
Mediocrely misconstruing
Mischievous mongrels
And misconceiving misplayed    
Merciless minutiae
But...

Powerful people know what weakened sheep want;
an ethically weakened hero with power to flaunt.
They want an easy ideological direction,
not actual common sense or introspection,
an excuse for what they are already doing
a leader to ease their guilt in misconstruing.

For them, feelings are tantamount, not acts.
they've been...

Manic-Depression

An illness that consumes me
Speaking endless lies to me
Misconstruing the world for me
Refusing to set me free
Binding me to self destructive tendencies 
Cheating me of what life could be
Supressing the love within me
Strengthening the anger buried inside of me
Distorting the truth right before me
Making me...

I heard Run For The Roses by Dan Fogelberg on the radio the other day…instantly a memory awoke…and with it a feeling of humble joy that memory evoked.

It was years ago while still teaching (I wanted my my autistic students to experience it all!)…when our...

Inevitable death defines afterlife

I mull mortality 
thru lens crafted occipital orbs
regarding a better future
experience sing a space oddity – 
whar incessant yaks
exuding a big hurt
emanate as cosmic atomic 
bipedal hominids replete roof lee wax
during a foggy day in London town
despite current requisite vacs  ...

We all know those who cannot meet – 
Too busy, too much doing.
We understand and do not feel
That they are misconstruing.

Some that I know can’t even call – 
They cannot spare a minute.
I know they wish they had more time;
I have to bear and grin...

Sad to see the causalities,
Of these ****ing tragedies,
Such democracy that's,
Full of ****ing hypocrisy ,
Said a free country,
Giving taxes then distributes monthly,
It's said god loves me,
Yet he continues to shun me,
With all these religious views,
Has every individuals vision skewed,
The church continues to use,
Words in red based...

An Unexpected Visitor

By Elton Camp

The crunch of gravel in our drive
Announced a visitor had arrived
The curtain I then pushed aside
The car with amazement eyed

“Oh my, what could be worse?
It’s somebody in a black hearse.”
Wife:  “I see what you do mean,
But I think it’s a...

Tolerance
By Tom
11-14-2016

We live in an age where we lack tolerance,
And others actions or words we smother.
Concerned entirely with our selfish agenda,
And filled with hatred toward our brother;

We often try to decapitate with words,
Then ruefully seek some way of undoing.
By excuse or outright denial, we’re saying,
My...

my dendrite highway glides into spiritual realms
unbidden, unhurried, unsanctified by conscious me
meditative unawareness solidifies into dreams of the dead
bioluminescent shapes and songs form enticing my psyche
I slumber blissfully unaware and yet here is piece of me
The piece I am not in touch with during the...

Some memories concern, effrontery
is always yearn, like countenance sojourning.
Unkinds its words in retrospect's home turning,
first lifts remind, then drops behind with slurring!

So I can find in grace's mind occurring,
as when thy presence binds me with returning
to God's comply, a promise asking, burning,
like some residual's pry...

"A bottomless pit of violence, a Tower of Babel where all are speakers and no hearers.”
                     -Alexander Smith

Everyone is talking,
No one is listening,
It’s an ambience...
