Premium Member POISONOUS SELF DOUBT

Only life in our mortal realm
entrenches self-doubt’s stand.

People and events cripple us
with critical mirrors showing us
visuals of our ineptness.

   All who are predisposed to clutching their negative blows
	                know doubts occurrences of fearful disturbance
	                     thoroughly unscrambles one’s confidence channel

Image deceit drips as falsely scented,
mixed with drops of fictive doubt,
to kidnap our splendid potential.

On and off, our truth wrestles doubt’s absolutes.
Since youth, most have fought that gloomy devil.

Premium Member In Negative Light

One moment east of twilight
Shadows outdistance the sun
Sharpening peaks and hallows,
Honed against the sparks of light.
Deep in the brow of the silence
I stand to watch the moonrise,
Overtaken by the dark

Aroused by denial,
Disturbing thoughts prevail,
Wishing reprisal,
Hostility unveiled.

Sharpened words uncover
The mask in place.
Extreme emotions hover,
Seen in your face.

Venom grows inside,
Feeding the fire,
Where poison resides,
In the skeptic’s lair

Premium Member Negative Love

Our eyes met 
Across the room
The sight of her
My heart went boom
 
Her shiny hair
Skin so fair
Slimline body
Shaped to stare
 
I introduce
Myself to her
Her accent sweet
Perfect purr
 
Drinks drunk
We make our leave
Joining hands
Like a weavers weave
 
Late night walk
Hand in hand
The talk is sweet
Of the loving kind
 
We stop and share
A dreamy kiss
As we read our minds
Eventful wish
 
Back at mine
I pour us drinks
Moet Champagne
To me she winks
 
Close we hold
Each others frame
Dancing slow
With this gorgeous dame
 
Adventurous hands
Explore each other
Naked flesh
Revealed from cover
 
As i hold her close
Her breasts charm me
Pert icons
Caress me
 
My manly hands
Run through her mane
Down her spine
To my wanting aim
 
Her curves so arced
Architectural gem
As she gently strokes
My wanting stem
 
She takes my hand
And sits me down
Astride my thighs
Slides on my crown
 
Slowly we share
Each others joy
As we pant and groan
This girl and boy
 
Throbbing bulge
Inside her heavenly cave
To adorn her walls
Our pulsing craves
 
I pull her in
As we release our flows
Joyous moans
As our bodies glow
 
We kiss and enjoy
Our united mix
As our tongues unite
With passioned slick
 
We share a shower
And lay down our heads
Cuddling close
In a silken bed
 
I awake in the morning
To a note left near
Beside the message
The drawing of a tear
 
Last night my dear
I was blessed like a dove
Your my one night stand
My negative love

Premium Member Stay a Way

just looking
for opportunities
to misinterpret
and distort
every word

looking for a reason
any excuse
to be miserable
as if there isn’t
enough grief
in the world already

Premium Member Tribute To Negative People

Here’s to all the negative people
You know how the story goes
If brains were freakin’ dynamite
You couldn’t blow your nose
When people make rude comments
They act without common sense
If you’re negative and reading this
I hope you take offense
When I hear about my friends put down
Every bone in my body cries
If you rub yourself with Preparation H
You’ll probably shrink in size
So if this makes you  pout and cry
I didn’t mean to put you down
Besides someone already wrote a song
About the tears of a clown
I’ve changed my ways in recent days
And try to act with class
If I had run into you twenty years ago
You would have been laying on your @ss
So take your sarcasm somewhere else
And leave our poets alone
And try to find your self-esteem
In a place called the twilight zone.


	Dedicated to those who need to 
Make negative comments.


Negative People Criticize

"Criticizing others is akin to criticizing God" 
"Moment we are critical of our critic we become a critic"
Quote by Author
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Words pierce the soft heart, stay there forever
Mind recollects them oftentimes in life
Spoken words for lifelong give joy or tear
Still criticizing others is in rife

Feeling worthless, many tears often shed
depression often ends in suicide
Painful thoughts, existing as living dead
If they did the same, wouldn't it hurt your pride

You speak out of hatred, bloated ego
He who can't praise is never respected
Only if your habits you will forego,
you will receive love, help, praise and respect

For critical talks you're hated by all
All condemn, in everyone's eyes you fall
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bhagvad Gita 18.61 - The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy.

Matthew 7: 1-3
Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Negative Vibes

You bring your own tribe
Of negative vibes
You make that dumb face
That cuts like knives

It’s passive aggressive 
And too excessive 
The littlest thing
Your manic depressive

Your anger is stout
And when it’s let out
Everyone’s affected
By the words you shout

You couldn’t care less
You’re truly, a mess 
But we all keep quiet
Or no one will rest

Premium Member A Fly In My Poetry Soup

There’s a fly in my poetry soup
It turquoise tries to throw me for loop

With negative Nancy words of discontent
Or fuschia fancy lines littered dissent

Poetry Soup is for friends for fun
Lighten up you’re under gold sun

Be green seed no need to be a gun
Firing off rudely red notes to anyone

I learned my lesson in faith
Let the negative Nancy fade

For there will come a denim day
They’ll meet their own match hurray

Premium Member Negative Begets the Positive

Don't you jive me no more blues
You take this my gin my booze
One here needs to get a life
Talk of Christ on my world cruise.

Negative Peer Pressure

Oh! How difficult is peer pressure,
It is the identity measurer.
It is knowing who you really are,
When others say you are not who you are.
It forces you to measure up,
To things that you should give up.
It causes you to lower your standards,
To follow those who are wayward.
It leads to unbalanced compromise,
That results in your own demise.
So, don’t bow to peer pressure’s tyranny,
Your own identity is your destiny.
                                       End

The Negative and Positive Absolutes of Life

– |Life| +

I recall how I had surveyed you, guardedly from a rocky peak,

And why I left the shelter of the mountains, for you.

How we wandered on those plains together,

Endless long days and shorter nights.

You a gazelle and I an eagle.

Horned and barbed, we;

Leaping from earth;

Soaring heights;

Left behind;

– |Life| +

Right ahead;

Plunging depths;

Chaining us to earth;

To leap and soar no more;

My gazelle, your eagle, less we;

Each day numbered, uncounted nights.

Trudging thru mired fields planted with seeds,

Someone else chose for us and we unwittingly accepted,

Until the mystery of these once sweet green steppes withered.

Negative Self Talk

Failure is a funny old thing
All of your worst fears take to wing
Lies you have told yourself more than once
Leak right into your brain, like a sponge
Intelligent though you may be
Never a light in the tunnel you'll see
Giving up or just giving in
Always seems easier when
People you meet won't be kind 
Always bringing the worst to your mind
Recalling the beast you have been
Telling and retelling you of your every sin.

Negative Poles

I--      love
			                     	you	  still
				          but I 	    can see
		          That our paths		  have gone awry
		     Our parallels				   have turned to Ys
	 And I do not know					how to say goodbye
                                            and so I won’t.


 				       Oil and	    water
			         emul---		        sified
		       have come				   apart
	           like cur					       dled cream;
	      Fision							      has split
                                              the nucleus.

				     I only	              hope
			     our flight		         will stop
	   While you still seem		             a part of me;
       If our limit is      					       not infinity
   I at least								      will know where
to											                  reach
                                                 for you

Negative Thoughts

Negative Thoughts
Making me dizzy
You generate misery
Barging in on me constantly
Just when I become happy , 
You invade again...
The permanent smile becomes fake 

Negative Thoughts
- Useless Utter
Haunt me all around the clock
Push in without a knock

Alone with these thoughts 
Now my head hurts, 
Distress
Overdosing 
Doubts ... Regrets

Inability to comprehend my knowledge
Composition of my mind becomes shattered
Everything seems wrecked
Where is the intellect?

No control over you...
I'm forced to Resist a chance that might benefit 
Too many tricks are being played on me.

Second voice 
Sais stop it 
Enhances
Come on think positive ,
No ,on purpose you cause the worry, 
You are still there you haven't vanished...
