Best Oppresses Poems

In a province exploited 
by prejudiced seasons,
a minority ebony rose 
is taunted by prominent 
i v o r y            l i l i e s.
Biased blossoms ridiculing 
tones of its charcoal petals,
yet blooming in...

High noon in Fort Laramie, the summer sun is oppressive.
A whalebone corset digs into my body’s tender parts.
Peering from the shop, my hand touching the pane
of dearly brought glass, I feel the vibration of incoming riders.
The pale blue sky disappears in a cloud of dust....

We worship* You, Lord … praising You for Who You are
majestic in Your radiance, verily magnificent
splendid in Your goodness, constantly present
wondrous in Your glory, drawing us near to Your altar.

We worship You, Lord … trusting You and Your might
subduing our problems midst persecutions and trials

In Heaven
You're in a better home. 
There are no vicious attacks there 
but beautiful angels sing.

Assured by the florist.
Roses have no thorns,
sorrow is always banished,
discomfort exists not more.
The weather is always mild
and butterflies abound,
flowers produce perfume,
pollen clogs no lungs.

Down here the thunder rumbles
the storm distorts...

Oh well I got an angry email to begin my day
Because of my last post on the Jabidah thing yesterday
Galit sa akin but greeted me with Assalamu alaykum.
And kung personal Moro friends ko naman ito 
They know I don't criticize Moro leaders
I always leave that...

I cannot single handedly manage...
primary idiopathic palmar/
palmoplantar hyperhidrosis

Aforementioned physiological malady
unwanted and unwonted figurative
(metaphorical) beast of burden
linkedin with matrix constituting mine
corporeal essence genetically
gifted to yours truly,
invariably, objectionably, and unquestionably
afflicts, impacts, and upsets
emotional (mental) health
diagnosed with schizoid personality disorder.

The grey oppresses;
surrounded by fog,
 I traverse this shadowland;
Dorothy in reverse,
stuck in this land of monochrome
Xerox grayscale in 2-D.
Hoping it is but a dream,
valiantly, I stroke in Technicolor
Only to see it erased, again
It is no more real than the specters
haunting my thoughts.

Still I stumble around...

(No Hope)


The alone...
oppresses me.
She settles inside of
the life she has stole,
leaving the shell of me,
as cold as stone.
Oblivion so close
I can feel it's low groan.
For my sadness and sin
you now make me atone.
I can't bear the weight
of the cost of your toll.
It presses me down,
my...

"'Cause when your back's against the wall
That's when you show no fear at all
And when you're running out of time
That's when you hitch your star to mine
We won't be leaving by the same road that we came by"

The times are fast changing
The certainty of season is 
evading
The sure signs of weather has 
for long disappeared
Along with our cultures and 
moral values has smeared
Oh Arike! may my eyes not see 
the evil the day brings

The scorching sun burns so 
hot at day
The chilly...

A perfect plain in the Sub Sahara

Discerning screens, Japanese Madara

Your frame formidable despite design

Why shan't I sing aloud about your shine?

Your songs of praises serenades females

A wrecking train that never derails

Conquered jealousies try to bite your style

They lost teeth from treading your field of mines

You...

Undesirable Now	Robert Denton (September 23, 2014)

I feel like my life is over.
I'm caged, imprisoned, locked within
the confines of this broken container.
I'm undesirable now.

To be young again, and strong
Able to manoeuvre and twist and run and kick.
I would continue in stealth espionage
To eradicate cruel injustices.

But alas,...

I aim for wondrous victory*
Thru my very best by God’s might
In pleasing Him with faith-lit sight!

Midst struggle-fueled misery
I yield to my soul’s Conqueror
Who safeguards me from fear’s terror!

By God’s grace and for His glory
I vanquish guilt that oppresses
And seek peace from Him Who blesses.

While sharing...
