Pseudo Artistry

Blood that screams mixes with tears of fears,
Over your hypocrisy and useless years.
Fresh cuts don't matter - your attentions yet wane.
It's just too easy to shut down, I could end this pain.

But, escape artists aren't artists at all.

When life ends the real journey begins, the journey to be
Above imperfection and glorified weakness everyone sees.
Life trickles into the drain of the sink, wash it and pretend
The veil is burning off,but there is only so much fire can mend

Besides, escape artists aren't artists at all.

Lately I've been on flats, between heaven and hell
Who but the Almighty buffers me from lack

My stance is firm, I move with care
Not to tear or deplete what's left of me

As parents persevere, praying renewal of psyche
Grown children are puncturing precious time

You'd wonder why wise women still ride so high
On horses that will topple them in wilderness

What simmer souls from stilts that do silent
Damage to free will's humbler spirit?

I have learned it takes time for the clearing of
Cobwebs clouding fair point of views

Who will wed serenity and naked troth of this:
Time and space and grace heals and inspires simplicity with humility.

Pseudo Criminal


Spic and span
Washing laundry like dirty guacamole cash
In Miami sand..... buried hidden Latin trash
Hurray for the tango so grand

Pseudo criminals holding poetic book
When everyone knows they are the crooks
The underbelly of wrong upbringings
Margaritas tasting as sour as the opera lady singing

Her pimp smiles with undisguised guile
For after dusk he will do as he must
Pseudo criminals lurking with pseudo lusts
Full of their pseudo charms that are sure to disgust

Criminals and cowards share the same dance
Brave with words and at first danger seeping pants
They have convictions in their crimes
Some have even two

Beware the criminals lurking around you

Premium Member A Semi Quasi Pseudo Sonnet

Into this quiet realm oft do we tread
this quiet place where nought is ever said.
To wax and wain within the mindless air
which fills the clogs and clicks we find in 
there.  Why then we bump into that thing 
again.  That thing we can’t describe which
causes pain. We swear to never think of it 
again.  But as before it always will come 
back, to bring this awful cyberspace attack.

We pop a pill and soon the hurt is gone.  It
goes to who knows where , I do not care.  I’m  
fine so long as it leaves me alone.  The lesson 
here it can be said, don’t dwell ! Strange
things emerge as thoughts inside your head

A Confession In Pseudo Form

I am not one to make confessions...

I do not miss you.
I am not in love with you.
I do not see you when my eyes 
close...

I am not angry!!
I am not losing myself without you!
I do not hate the world for tempting 
me with happiness!
I am not upset!
I am not on the verge of tears while 
writing this!
I am not heartbroken!
I.. Am Not... Hurt...

These are NOT the confessions of a 
poetry souper...
These are NOT the confessions of 
broken man
 who has to lie to himself just to 
keep from crying...
I will not bare the most vulnerable 
side of my
 soul for prying eyes just for one last 
chance to
 feel connected to you...
You did not mean that much to me...
I do not love you...
I do not love you!!!

An Absolutely Nonsensical Pseudo Poem That Fails To Pass For a Fairy Tale

When poet Tennyson was very young,
He was a handsome tiny son, 
Who loved playing tennis under the sun.

When in his teens,
Tennyson excelled at his studies 
So much so that he won the admiration of 
Adorable girls who numbered ten.

As an adult Tennyson the tiny son went on a journey
To a faraway city called Newcastle upon Tyne.
There he came across a man who covered himself with tin.
Tennyson decided to call him "Tin Man."

Tin Man and Tennyson became good friends
So close together at all times.
Then one day they met someone so pretty and tiny
Who looked and behaved exactly like Tinker Bell.

Tinker Bell, Tinker Bell, tinkle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-donkey open sleigh!

"What a delightful, perfectly beautiful day we have today!"
Said Tinker Bell. 
Oops! I don't think she could talk.
Who, then, made that statement, I wonder?
I wonder, I wonder, Alice in Wonderland.
Humpty Dumpty all the way,
Smiling nastily like that cat
Whose mouth was floating in the air,
Devoid of the rest of her body.

All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Alice together again. 
And she one day decided to climb that tree,
Which grew so tall as to reach the sky,
Out of those beans that that old, ugly woman
Had given her the previous day 
In exchange for the cake Alice had given her.

So Alice climbed and climbed and 
At last she landed on the nearest cloud.
There she saw a great mansion
Surrounded by vines.
She lost no time in stealing in through the huge iron door.
There she found this goose of gold 
And Alice was tempted to steal it 
And bring it back home.

And so she went down back home 
With that goose of gold 
And lived happily ever after.


Pseudo Allegory: Behind the Veil of Deception

If only for a moment you could let me inside
To see a great fortress, or hobbit hole where you hide
I won't be judgemental and play toying tricks
I just want a gander, see what makes you tick
Feel the pain of your sorrow, wicked past telling lies
Keeping you held at gunpoint by yourself stepped aside
Behold the rainbows and unicorns oh what a flurry of bliss
See I know you have self-pity a cacophony minds mix
Something awful and strange brought peace to your being 
And it puzzles me so to see you standing there breathing
I really don't know why this happened to you 
But I feel for you buddy even when you are rude
Making false accusations about nonsense, a ruse
I know something is wrong so stop hiding the truth
I can see all the way through you all the way to the roof 
Where the shingles are hanging not a drop left of vermouth
Let me in for a moment, let me see, I won't bite
Just to glance at the person whom I reconciled thrice....

Mint, Peppermint, Cool Mint --- a Nonsensical Pseudo-Poem

Mint, peppermint, Cool Mint, badminton. . . . 
But that's not what I meant. 
You still don't know what I meant? 
Then I'll give you a hint. 
There's a famous guy named Clint. 
Yes, his family name is Eastwood. 
As an actor, he's sharp as a flint. 
He always wears a shirt with a nice tint. 
He hates to drive a car with a dint. 
He once wrote a book that never got out of print. 
He once daydreamed of being a quint. 
He's diligent, he always works without a stint. 
"Go ahead, make my day!" 
says he, with his eyes shining with a glint. 
So tidy is he, well-dressed is he, 
without a single loose piece of lint. 
Never did he do that, no he didn't. 
So said he, with his trademark squint. 
But he's not learned enough to be able to read a Septuagint. 
Once he broke his leg, and they had to put it into a splint.

Premium Member Pseudo Love

How do you define what is “true love”?
Is this the person you’re thinking of?
She clings like a parasite,
during both day and night.
She’s someone you want to get rid of.

At first, she was as sweet as honey.
Now, she’s only after your money.
Your ultimate goal
is to drop her in a hole.
Some place where it isn’t too sunny.

Premium Member A Pseudo Love Poem

So it's back to love, gonna write about love
My favourite subject besides giggles
The thrill, the passion, the heat of the moment
Makes me wanna wiggle and jiggle

Love makes me act in very strange ways
As if I'm possessed by some demons
Always been a very prim and proper man
Really can't imagine the reason

Could be I'm reliving my teenage years
Heard you do when reaching old age
Those romps in the hay with the girl next door
When teenage hormones just raged

Well this didn't turn out the way I expected
It's void of the lovey dovey stuff
So I'm gonna sit right down and try again
Sometimes I find it real tough

Fanaticism Runs Poetically Amok As Pseudo Tribalism Village Two

Case in point comprises emotional state of euphoria 
would deafeningly, definitely, deliciously get 
frenziedly expelled from stadium. Roe ting for 
“our boys” packing every last seat in the bleachers 
all manner of humankind would (during lulls) 

Instagram, Kindle, Messenger, Outlook, Quicken, 
Snapchat, Twitter. Santander, Verizon,Wells Fargo 
might be sponsors for major competitive challenge. 
Zero tolerance imposes winning at all costs versus 
grievous miserable rapacious violent yawping 

linkedin loss outcome of sporting events. Under
stand able home team owns an advantage (true 
for rival players on their turf) predicated on avid 
loyal fans boosting morale from family members, 

friends, neighbors, et cetera. The ear splitting 
roaring cheering hoopla emanating from spectators 
(housed in relatively close proximity to handsomely 
paid putting Pontius Pilate and bad ass Brutus brutes 

rolled into one mean human fighting machine. 
This previous comment meant as an honorable 
kickstarter, hyperbolic endearment. My humblest apology 
if said statement misinterpreted as a NON off fence sieve 

strong moderate slight against any creed, race, religion, 
et cetera. I merely sought an analogously effective 
impact asper these hypothetical Popeye muscle 
bulging arms length professional athletes plush residences 

lodged in general metropolitan area to rubber baby

winning score affiliated with bruising, cutthroat, 
dynamo...fierce-some giant, heaving, indomitably 

jinxed, “killer” macho no nonsense, outlandish packed 
quintessentially robust searing troopers translates 
into utter screaming, quaking outrageous merciless 
krazy individuals generating ecstatic cacophony

Pseudo

You smile at a distance,
Honesty hidden behind your teeth,
Tongue poised to reminisce,
Of linen floors and bed-sheets,
I can't remember,
How your hand felt in mine,
Memory locked in December,
When our fingers intertwined,
A nostalgic misfortune,
Cheap stuffed bear excavated by golden cranes,
Entering our relationship's 7th edition,
A 90 degree kiss coupled by growing pains,
Following the path of our stiff walk home,
These nights alone are my whiskey,
And your cup of tea,
Perfectly content in my fluorescent dome,
While your opening the windows in your house among the trees,
Bottleneck ballads,
Your stained glass lips sting,
Muddy ink word salad,
Our awaited reunion we approach like zombies shambling,
It's just my gemini stigma,
Silver tongues and lead bodies,
A matrimonial enigma,
Her neglection and your idolatry,
My story with her written by the space-bar,
And ours stargazing in telescope cars,
An atmospheric distance,
My mile high sky,
Your callous correspondence,
My overbearing replies,
My reluctant departure,
Your earnest independence,
Our paper-thin affair,
So alone we wander motionless.

Lingering languages bowing to lovely lies
Men’s mansions begging to murder morality
Falling flowers born to fraternize frailty
