Best Schism Poems

In the Catholic Schools of the West
All students are put to a test
Their head must go South
With an open mouth
To measure who comes off the best

A priest is never too fickle
An Adam's Apple to tickle
No need to repent
Its all Heaven-sent
The meek love sucking a pickle

Virile...

"Where is the sun, where is the moon?"
the mirror asks.
He sees the silence in the other's gaze—
crouched against the wall
an empty face where once
two small diamonds burned
and cut in two
who once was whole

"Where is the blanket for the cold?"
the mirror asks.
He swipes a star 
from...

You took innocence
sow seeds in maturing brain
create illusions
in the name of the father...
a lattice for prejudice.

Now in conversation with myself,
and in love with the adventures of the mind,
I'm free to argue about them.
Feelings are more precise now; they do not mislead.
Totally gratuitous of course, they take the lead
and we must stand in awe. 

Oh?  You defend them?
Of course. ...

The teacher's feet flew up on the desk,
    Striking the class as rather grotesque:
       It caused quite a schism,
       As she'd just escaped prison!
    Was this a...

As these long-stifled clouds part
Across the indigo sky,
Tears purge the nimbus 'way dry,
From my dearest desire's heart.
  Ascending to noble serenity
Through the stygian unknown;
Breaking through Everest’s stone
Forever-- or at least eternity. 
  Although all of the windows may
Open, and briskly circulate,
Like blood clots...

She snores under Night's somnolent veil,
Far from quiet throes of his teetering sail;
Her pulses come and go in silent throbs,
Attuned to trigger no lover’s salted sobs. 

Her breath kicks in and out in frail wafts,
And makes sullen breather and her lover
Immune to stingy Love's meanest...

Maybe it's with all signs Astro that their true ology elements precede us in our poor socio-crafted endless envies, that benignly beholds and molds us, encrusting our deep attention to non-nominal directed people preferentials--- for me, a March fish out of water, that traverses a...

One god has as many religions
As Trafalgar Square has got pigeons
A lad on the booze
with nothing to lose
Got baptised with two Dead Sea Widgeons...

The schism is forgotten on this day.
Our insanity is hurried by the sun's sway.

We stroll on the rocks without a coast.
Clouds hurriedly come into view impost.

When it rains, it soaks up onto the sidewalk.
Passion is what gives us the capacity to talk.

Our emotions are hampered...

After being robbed
you want to hide your 
poverty, like sex.
Someone is going to flaunt
the kisses of moon.  

The sinking of twin islands
in lake begins. Claspers
were poised to hold on the tree-
house. The privacy was
threatened. Nobody will conceive tonight.

The erotica wins, temple fails.
A lone wolf...

With the death of freedom
the world celebrates its liberty
and as the itinerant children of futures dream
wept in their unborn purgatory
the applause rang loud for ever more
even more security

Yes for this day and this day only
for this dust, for this thirst
this indigent clawing at life's throat
may...

Is it shism with a soft “k”
or skism with a hard “k”?
The “ch” sound in English
can go either way, as in
church and chin, scold and school.
Personally, I’ve never had
a problem with it, because
I schink schome people are schimply
too skittish, and therefore
schplit over right usechage.

I believe that each of us lives a predestined life, one that has been arranged and organized for continuity. We are oblivious to such effects as we live out our lives accordingly, as ordered by the power that be. Anything beyond the preordained structural perimeter...
