Premium Member Sabotage
My reflection wears a mask
Face painted to hide my tears
Camouflaging hidden fears
If anyone tries to get close
I shatter like a fallen flask
Killing all hopes...

Life Sabotage
I am the muteness behind naivete
Born as the duplication of despair, flunked
A demented soul
An impaired self of bureaucracy

Jaded at the tip of shadow
Above it stood the gray
Quietly stabbed the main arterial venous of the real life chemistry
Sneaking low to a shallow sac of each personal...

Sabotage
I sabotage my happiness,
When things are going good.
I blow small things out of proportion
More often, then I should.
I let you in, until it scares me,
Then, slam the door in your face.
Telling you, I'm just frustrated,
Asking, that you give me space.
I feel the rift between us...

Self-Sabotage
Self-sabotage


Self-sabotage; it’s all I know.
There is no way I am letting anybody get close.
Self-sabotage; it’s all I have got.
If you want my love then I will be sure to be gone.


Why try to love me?  I can’t be loved.
Why try to like me? ...

Self-Sabotage
Inside the ice cave
Drops of fear and regret form
Looming icicles,
Enslaved by apprehension
Let your fiery heart break free...

Premium Member Soapy Sabotage
sufficiently scrubbing
simple soap
strips stealthy virus’s
slick, lipid skin—
surfactants sending 
sabotaged virus
slip sliding sewer bound!...

Sabotage of Eternal Promise
strange arrangements

promising faith but

is feeling different privately

breaking that

is it natural

the right way about it to remain mono

yet so guilty for shattering such things

"what are you thinking?

is that my business?

would you if you weren't with me?"

is overcoming the urge enough

to overcome the shame

Sabotage
Comrade
Tie rollerskates to pólice
Horses hoofs
Piss on the grim parade
From the roof
Of the dept store
Slip a fortune cookie note
That reads
´give me liberty or death
Or chicken chow mein ´
In the pocket of a
Passing pope
Arm the homeless
With pitchforks
& direct them to the
Castle on the hill
Bite the earlobes
Of the...

Sabotage At the Workplace
the worker bees buzz &
the management, the authority figures,
crunch down the boots 
on the backs of us all
tossing crumbs & wanting
better production, faster pace,
silence (no talking, only work) &
for us all to be company whores
dedicated to the cause of
profit for the few who sit atop...

Birthday Sabotage
It's the 3rd of the month
An excellently important day
5 decades or so ago,
My parents made a little 'roll in the hay'

Tonight, I'm spoiling myself
Going out for dinner el solo
Down to my favourite local Bistro
For Salmon Wellington, Cab Sav and Gateau

Made sure I phoned ahead,
with 3...

Premium Member Succor For Winter's Sabotage
Spring mix sprinkled with balsamic and fig
A whirligig of walnuts and crisp cranberries
Décor’s sweet dawn of strawberries
A fork and buds to taste
At first so cold then so warm somehow
As fiber and vitamins rush
To aid the holiday’s overindulgence
Of snow and damp, fat and sweet

Love Inside a Car
Let it be just a kiss: 
Long or short that you miss,
Your car's door firmly shut 
I don't want to hear "But-"

Yes, all glasses rolled up;
You shut your questions up!

Love inside a stopped car 
Is taking things too far,
Even for a filled bar, 
It could...

Windows Dead
Hid all the menus
Windows did
Then shared the links
throughout it's grid

And spread the way
for what is thread
To mock the balkers
for their tread

And make their lives
a living led
For all the time
that's lost till dead...

Headshaker
No way to explain it
No need to analyze
No rationale, so incredible
And no meaningful prize
No possible motive
Except maximum self
The conscious world ceases
Brains put on the shelf
Bad habits are just that
Unhealthy routines
Crossing borders, explosive
 Loaded, meaningless fiends
And, yes, if G-d let's you
You'll endure this storm too
And the...
