Best Mistrustful Poems

Don’t look at me
As though I am an alien or a stranger,
Don’t let the dagger of antipathy
Fly out of your eyes.

I am your neighbor.

Don’t call me a foe, an antagonist, or a rival,
Don’t roll up your mistrustful sleeves for a fight.

I am your friend.
 
Don’t...

Today I found you cornered, drenched in cold,
your fur coat nothing but a newborn's down,
a tiny ball unfolding while I hold
you shivering. Your lacerations frown

and at a distance, I can see the why
of your abandonment, the birds of prey.
I’ve saved you, but you’re causing me...

From chaos to cosmos
From cosmos to Barbados
From Barbados to Cricket


Fifty odd years
CAT EEG Resurrection
An original me?


If you know
The fundamental difference
Between 1 and 2

First comes the moon
Second comes the yellow
Last come the clouds and bats

They move cannons
Blasting chicken fodders
Canon of polite society


The sun moves
From east to...

Corona and Covid disrupted this year.
Leaving the world confounded; paralyzed with fear.
Lives lost in droves;too much sorrow to count.
Everyone shrouded under storm clouds of doubt.
Sanitized, distanced with no social contact.
Not shaking hands is deemed a charitable act.
Coughing,sneezing, wheezing, overheating.
Everyday is a gift, can you feel...

Branches and ivy lifted like
A flimsy sort of solid shield,
Wind whispers through the keyhole as
My secret garden is unsealed,

Petals tremble fearfully,
Mistrustful of this open plain,
Both buds lean in towards the light
Whilst trying disinterest to maintain,

Sun flares upon my frightened flowers,
Blinking from their lifetime of night,
'Too...

We are each and all Black Lives as small Deaths
inside our historical-cultural DNA emergence
into full-octave multicultural ecopolitics.

In Earth's ecosystem,
there can be no ecological entity perceivable as White,
or even Light,
unless historically emerged as reversing full-radial
progenitive Black,
dualdark regenesis.

For you and yours,
did light skin reify from dark political-economic...

What could I do? 

What to do
when your biological,
and even formerly sober ecological,
relationships suddenly veer insanely romantic?

Or worse,
mistrustful
and yet
not always distrustful,
or not,
maybe deeper sadness
and occasional manic gladness
emerging inclusively wider questions
of approach and/or avoid

Both romantic
and yet soberly pedantic
sometimes before,
to plan, for after
feeling up
and/or sore
predicts anxiously down,

Enriching knowledge was our scope...

But avarice derailed our friendship...

Ostentation unfurled through your face...

Hurricanes of emotion...

The island boy devoured your soul with deceptions..

So u casted mistrustful eye on me...

Am now cut to the quick...

Will however give you that tiny victory but that will be for a...

Don't want to be stuck

Don't want to work that hard
on dogmatic compartments
for politically correct CAPITAL INVESTMENT

over-investing in cautionary

which is counterproductive
for best Systemic Therapy practice

Of mindful-civil cooperative warm regard

He walked in through the main door,
“Unbolted?” he wondered.
An ebbing shade of brown painted layer,
The polish on the door, dulled.

A poor man’s residence,
Deplumed sofa covers,
Sidestepped since the past three years.
The chewed up walls, unrepaired.

Jim heard the church bells chime
Music!
Yes, music was assigned to be his...

Reason can't muster
Why her attraction is such a fluster
I'm lustful
Distrustful, Mistrustful
Trust rusts over and becomes dust
My feelings are so uncontrollable
My emotions are a rollercoaster
Palms become fists
Cringing for what we have not
How can we resist
A treasure we don't got?
Somebody get me a speedometre for my heart...

We played by the sea, come swim with me

you shouted, I was frightful so very doubtful,

she looked happy free, splashing, full of glee

sun shining, water mistrustful though delightful,

where are you, not sure, I’m planted on seashore 

panic filled my being, your beauty I’m not seeing

When I drove away from the family farm
to embrace my freshman year
at the University of Michigan
in Vietnam-era 1970,

I was planning on majoring in political science
which later turned into a double major
in communication theory
and positive neuro-psychology

Persuasion,
cognitive/affective bicameral
conserving/liberating bipolarizing dissonance,
and more resonantly trusted
positive therapeutic attitude change.

What I...
