Best Sordid Poems

Soundly you sleep, your insides at ease.  Beside 
you, I surge an uncharted storm of fearsome break for 
it thunder-threatens my own sun’s velocity melt.  Your 
breathing is even and bears no concern, no fear or 
resentment squeaks to rust your dream’s churn.  All my 
wishes wish it would; I want it...

Villanelle: O! What a wonderful world this sordid life could be

O! What a wonderful world this sordid life could verily be
If only humans were not subject to envy nor jealousy
Worse than that pride of place makes man a chimpanzee

Our primate brother carries on his butt his Wounded Knee
We by contrast drape our tender unders in...

Politics
Activities associated with
The governance of a country 
As simple as
The administration of an organisation
But there is always power struggle
And greed for wealth
Politics become unusual 
Because of power struggle 
And greed for wealth
A sordid affair indeed
Conspiracy, canvassing
Scandal and bribery
All make things complex
And bring great sorrow to the people
Who are ignorant and innocent
Sometimes
We should blame the politicians...

It seems I can’t escape this plot, this telling of the tell;
a mandatory element is a first-person write.
Just don’t make me the villain of this sordid villanelle.

I much prefer to narrate from deep down within my shell;
I like to lurk in shadows and remain tucked out of sight.
Alas, I can’t escape this plot, this telling...

There's money___then there's love
Looking back at him __desiring 
Brief encounters above
Husband's comments deriding

So handsome fire__home ice
Guilt, shame, remorse____desire
One last glimpse maybe twice
Marriage but children__can't transpire

Inner turmoil__wishing
Should I walk away now
Turn turn around running
We'll say the wedding's vow...

At his readiness, medley reduced to romance
     Pure patched with strategy, pony Rosinanthe 
     Slick sleuth rotund from a thousand tutorials 
     Ideality frisked into quixotic filly deplorable
     
     Avid lover Danton handles haggard hill...

Are the sordid stories about the surreal, 
sharp, stoney Greek isles known as Sirenum Scopuli,
supposedly inhabited by sexy, sultry, sirens, 
who salaciously seduced stupefied shipwrecked sailors 
by simply singing lascivious songs, 
surely mythologic or surprisingly true?...

Rotten leaves 
Disgust and wretch
What good then is with rains?

Simple or fancy? Sordid or prance-y?
Lily or roses? Tiptoes on proses?
What kind of poem will my mind see today?
What will happen if I stop to pray?

Trixie, my muse, is laughing right now.
She has no idea the when or the how.
But when she comes full force into the fray
Poetry to my day is pure play…....

Tulip became orchid upon death,
As false as sordid love I held....

Wilting in withering light
I'm afraid I lost the will to fight
Demons dance in the abyss
Between us monsters a soulless kiss

Impurities fill my mind
Perhaps how I'll be defined
Burn them like tea leaves
Nothing will be left for the thieves

I sing of all that could have been
Before the bottle and before the sin
Deep inside is the hero held...
