Best Offsets Poems

The gods must be crazy to create such bad logic, 
To validate suffering, pain and distress, they tick,
To allow their existence, ‘cos that’s what logic’s for, 
Logic defines the systems and structures which soar.

They must be mad to claim bad weather, all year, 
Intervention only...

Prolog:   This poem is about how much you need to struggle to ‘survive’ as an accountable and matured man. Child demands what he desires and the man sacrifices his desire, to fulfill the child’s.  It’s funny how you would be made a...

I took this as a summer job,
college expenses require pay,
they sent me up Whithorn Mountain,
put me in a cabin to stay.

Every morn I climb the tower
to make sure the forests don’t burn,
underestimated the boredom,
for some interaction I yearn.

Sure, the hikers will chat with me,
but I...

we went from 

I'm OK, you're OK

you were my pillar
when I was carrying the earth above my shoulders and
my hand was something you could count on
when the lights turn green

then the path turned overly uneven
for those high heels
suddenly

I'm not Ok, you're OK

and you just left...

Curvaceous beauty, she knows not her strength
Offsets gentleman to edge of his brink.
Then she captures soul with her sweet smile.
Our hero stretches to his tallest length.
Heroine’s face flushes a pretty pink.
Their love can be seen a country mile.
She pledges her love forever more.
As she cannot...

Hurtful words followed by deriding deeds.
There is no escape, there is not an out.
How to handle the necessary needs?

I fear for our sanity, I have doubt.
Moods swinging from serene to confusion.
There is no escape, there is not an out.

Moments remembered, then self-delusion.
Cherish the memories, and...

When in a jam, I try to preserve meditative trance

Synonymous with light hypnotic mode
inhaling and exhaling diffusing anger
lest mine noggin would explode
rhythmic breaths flowed
sustained me red nose (think Rudolph) glowed.

Holistic approach to derive peace of mind
necessitating absolute zero noise
(the slightest distraction
offsets delicate transcendent state)
nevertheless effortless...

Man's imbued with a flair for fantasy
that is quenched by His imagination.
And intrigued by the flight of bumblebees,
curiosity offsets frustration.

His conscious mind extends itself beyond
concepts of morality and blind faith.
But should His morals suddenly abscond,
the human soul can morph into a wraith.

A white lie, half-truth...

Shifting the kitchen curtain over
to the right, separating thin window from wall. 
There's a resistance to witness,
dark light of troubled pane as
an imbalance offsets my true
substance and demeanor.
Drawing lips forward to taste
any wrinkles of the sun, I step away.
Easing a desperate mind with a patchwork

Blandishments eroded invaluable necessary treasured alms

Existential nihilism rent psyche asunder
courtesy unforeseen deadly bombs
lobbed by computer hacker and scammer
rolled into one nasty,
short and brutish lout,
whereby his aggrieved targeted victim
experiences absolutely zero qualms.

Though common horse sense
I generally applaud
within these lovely bones
an undersize fellow whose forehead broad
methinks perchance...

Contrary to what has been spoken.
 Mythdiltra who is a strange
 Goddess of the other places. 
Was deemed a whore who chored
 and labored to shame The Great Zagreus.
 She hired Spontonaious to train Glima Nuba;
 Yacy and Trice to defeat The Great Zagreus.

Blandishments eroded invaluable necessary viz life savings of mine videre licet alms

initially crafted June twenty fifth

affecting me to utter "oy a broch"
(pronounced ah-BROOKH)
before I cast accursed blatant spells
outright upon the head of mountebank,
whose shrewd and cunning deception
bled me dry as a sun...
