Best Scrutinise Poems


Premium Member Disassemble Me
It's something inconclusive
This feeling that I'm not
A perfect human specimen 
Lukewarm compared to hot

I scrutinise the mirror
That I carry in my phone
It tells me of belonging
Yet I feel so far from home

I probably need rebuilding
Like a human Lego set
A different type of perfect
Is the answer...

DOUBTS

When the sanctuary
Of sunlight sinks
And dark shadows
Lay across your thoughts
Spiteful talons
Scrape against your reason
Their...

My leaves never droop and my flowers stand high
I bloom through the year as the seasons pass by
I witness the daffodils stand proud and tall
I see warmer weather put paid to them all

The alliums follow, the marigolds too
Then plants that will flower the whole summer...

Premium Member I Hate Airport Travel
Oh the joys of an airport trolley
I try and push it oh what a folly
The wheels always have a life of their own
I’ve not got off the ground I just want to go home

I want it to go left but it goes off to the...

Marxism For Dummies 14
Though Canton claims it’s communist, it’s not.
Beijing, like Belarus, breeds oligarchs.
There’s nobody alive who’s heard of Marx:
a rickshaw ride’s the only kind of trot.

Seek Mensheviks in Minsk, you’ll end with squat.
In Kursk are cadres countable as quarks,
and proles in Petrograd?  Like hunting snarks.
It’s Putin’s...

Celeb
Celeb


No sooner does a Celeb opens his closed lips
Than eager pens poise to ooze ink from tips!
Such is the woe and pain for my brother Caleb
Who’s a reviled, demeaned and stalked Celeb!!

Whatever he utters is perceived as controversy
While ruthless stalking gives Caleb no privacy?!
With garrulous...

Collective Sin Is a Virtue
united states are in debt most
kingdoms countries are in deficit
they have beautiful cars great highways
bread to eat water to drink and almost
free air to breathe
so dont worry about debts deaths and deficits
we are all in debts deficits and on our way 
to death
united states are...

Materialistic Life
What's in this Life? 
It's nothing but conceited. 
I'm afraid it will corrupt me
And make me obnoxious. 
What's in this Life? 
It's nothing but fraud, 
Filled with stories and likes, 
Statuses and calls. 
Where is that simplicity?
The one that was once praised.
Which used to charm...

See Soul In Solitude
Sitting in solitude scrutinise stream
of breath surging spontaneously. Still 
senses, simply survey the front of nose. 
Steadily kundalini opens, spurts up.
Supernatural sensations surround.
Suddenly you sense separation from
body and behold your soul blissfully.

Let Us Exchange Our Eyes
day kills night and night sleeps into day
death profits the earth trees 
grow like a girl
girls eclipse the moon the first explosion
corpse paint sun red emotions 
hide under the thick bushes
roots grow kisses the sky rain from the 
leaves earth frozen spins on
 its axis...

Archetypal
I am not your archetypal sort

My views and beliefs are all self taught

Based around my own thoughts

Within my own conscious mind

Questioning all truths and beliefs

One thing that I have seen is nothing

Is ever what you think it to be

We accept to much compliantly

Accept what we...

Premium Member Reflections
I look in the mirror
What do I see
Not the face that used to be
Greying hair and double chin
Fat puffy cheeks that once were thin
Wrinkled face and furrowed brow
Even my ears are different somehow
As I look closer, to scrutinise
My neck and shoulders are thrice the size
They...

Ode to Earth
Traversing forests, deserts, and over plains, baked naked out in the sun,

forlorn, a child sobbing in the rain, or teardrops from heaven falling.., 

Imagine just a moment, futility of time, 
scrutinise what balance left for self, for humanity 
In an age, a place where passion...
