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
	               ...

Premium Member The Poisonous Parrot
A parrot sits on my shoulder.
Unlike those that squawk, mine tends to whine.
When she is in the mood,
she moans and moans and moans.
No Polly-Anna Parrot is this one!
My pain she keeps repeating,
and hearing of it hinders me from being 
more completely sympathetic to the pain...

Poisonous Ideologies
Stalin cared nothing for his people 
Mao Zedong was likewise 
Cruel and brutal tyrants 
Who slaughtered millions of their own people. 

And now let those who espouse the ideals 
Of communism, marxism, socialism and globalism
Learn the truth from the blood soaked landscape 
Of the twentieth...

I To Poisonous Honey
on the body of stars
I'm litting up the lantern to wandering

the rivers of the world 
flowing along with my pavement

upstairs of heaven
no throne of the peace but a belief

with the ill body of time
I lost the tavern of the youthful earth

sun of the universe true...

Premium Member The Poisonous Parrot
oh there is this voice in my head that echoes
sometimes whispering venomous, poison insults
and at times screaming negativity... grasping my heart
twisting my spirit to tatters and ruin
a parrot mimic, chattering in the dark corridors 
of my mind, hiding in all my inner private spaces
plucking and...

Premium Member A Poisonous Union
Add colour to a bunch of expensive waste, Its still rubbish
to rescue a prey from its determined predator create an exit
in one cubicle is a hungry snake and a well nurtured fish
to suggest fairness in this scene, we stubbornly close it
one is feasted upon for...

The Poisonous Mushrooms
Watching from the shore for long, 
tides and waves roll with a rhythmic beat all foretold.
New blossoms of temple flowers bloom, 
As some did fall face first to the ground in sweet surrender.

“Oh dancing leaves on this rainy day! 
Dance how you may lest you...

The Poisonous Snake
You dangerous viper go away
and leave me on my own.
You are a lion and a thief,
trying to steal God's throne.

You shook your fist in anger.
You rebelled against your King.
Someday, Satan, you will pay
for causing me this suffering.

God is angry, Rightfully so.
His creations have turned away.
But...

Money- the Poisonous Honey
As powerful as an earth tremor that can tear the clinged earth plates apart,
As strong as a lie that can break the glass of trust into pieces,
As significant as a plastic face that can easily wipe out deformities,
As realistic as a fake smile that can...

Behind the Tassel: Poisonous Thorns
The tassel 
Seems to be blossomed
Having created with beauty
And shedding aroma passim

When the time comes close
And to closer and close up
The tassel
Seems to be hybrid
Having hidden conventional qualities
Nothing to be seen
Expected beauty and
Conceived aroma

The tassel
Where stands
Roots of brought forth
Clasp poisonous thorns
Even blunt
It is destructible

The tassel...

The Poisonous Womb
I want, what is to be 
I want, what should happen 
I need and want all that is around me 
but i am starved 
I am the hungry  
I am in slaved 
now with slavery's twin sister impoverished
and there brother famish
poverty is not just...

Premium Member Beware the Mandrake
Beware the enticing purple mandrake
Thinking it will calm a lover’s worries
Its berries do not make a tasty shake
Beware the enticing purple mandrake.
Many suitors have made this mistake
With its lovely yellow-orange berries
Beware the enticing purple mandrake
Thinking it will calm a lover’s worries.
