Best Ostensible Poems


Thoughts On the Sidelines
Hope is hated when wasted on naught
When energy is drained by strained excitement
And when at last realization strikes
The ostensible happiness dissipates into despair
Doubt sweeps over as cruel fact
As others see a decrepit smile
Sovereign frowns reign from within
Embarrassment embraces prickling the skin
Hands don’t know where to...

Truth Untold
Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty, compassion and truth
Against injustice, greed and lies
If people all over the world will do this
It will change the earth and make it a better place till death
So it is time to fulminate every sector involved
To detest...

You made a puerile and repugnant scene.
That was the night you broke a slot machine.
You did it in the casino right out in plain view.
There were scores of patrons around us to watch you.
You pestered me for money in a pertinacious way.
I kept saying to...

Dear Euphoria,

     Melancholia is one of the more...

The Bridal Sojurn
THE BRIDAL SOJOURN
Like an American spy I have always been looking around 
Wandering around the downtown
Not because of my lost goat 
Nor because of my missing boat
But obviously I am the to-be groom
Who has been left in the gloom
I have built a house with big...

Who Is To Blame
The question is, who is to blame?
     I often ask myself this question with no other thought than to torment myself. I have always concluded to admit (though it is a straight-out lie) that I am to blame. I am the...

Come Closer To Me
Come closer to me
Oh, come dear,

I know I'm not the one you dream
I know it's just the matter of fear
I know we're broken into pieces
I know you don't miss my messages
I know we stumbled in many things
I know we lost the essential moments
I know we...

Stand Up
Senses defeated; defile of insensible

are stepping boldly, with motives ostensible, 

to take pledge upon our platform honorable.

with a history of deeds abominable.

We oppose their resolutions reprovable.

To take pledge upon our platform honorable,

With list full of agenda for power extensible!

Frustrations of the mass just regrettable

Living consequences of action abominable.

Who to address in this moment insufferable?

Dictatorship in democracy, how deplorable!

Gratefulness
To be absolutely certain
To be firmly convicted in principle and belief 
Is the scariest feeling of all
But, like all feelings, it never lasts
The conviction stays, but the mind wanders
Deep into the zones of ostensible comfort
Where it rests merely to frenzy
Into the streets of opposition
Straight into...

Enemies of My World
ENEMIES OF MY WORLD

They are the enemies of my world
I do the wrong, and they the right
They love nothing more than to criticize me
They preach repentance yet they need deliverance
They are the armored assassins of my personality
 Holy Enemies of my world!

Nor or never in...

The Oppressor
They predicate despotism, while matriculating the 
servile.Presaging them to complacency.Who without the prescience of life's 
cadence,will continue to perpetuate peonage?They who poignantly and temper 
mentally,display acerbic discourse.Arousing those erroneous acts that cause the 
chasm of inculcation to avail.We listen for the mantra,the interloper,who will 
resolve...
