Best Stiffer Poems
She That Embraced The Darkness In Her Veins
With her mind not sick of dark devious games
she opens dead doors, tossing in more painful blames
in newly acquired realm, no mercy was real
as darkness ate away, weeping heart to steal.
She planted her black roses, her favorite crop
Embracing hate masters, never going to stop.
As her heart transformed to stone, sky fell away
nights holding no moons and bright stars, only grey
listening for wolves to howl and night owls hoot
she pondered life and how deep her ancient roots.
Garden wide, its radiant color darkest black
She counted her evil chips, in multiple stacks.
With heartache's deadliest weapon, she spared none
as souls shattered, she would cry out, this is fun
in heralded glory, she lit bigger fires
lustily craving hotter funeral pyres.
When nights got boring, her satanic eyes would blaze
Out into waiting wild world, all hell she would raise.

Rhyme, (Dark Oft Invades Broken Hearts)
Note- The muse said, when darkness invades and the heart saddens and sinks
write words from malevolent parades and pour us both much stiffer drinks!

Run, Joe, Run! And the people represent,
mama always said you'd be President.
Somethin' else mama said was
stupid is as stupid does
and I think we all know what mama meant!
Run, Joe, Run! And let the people decide
but mama always knew your brain was fried.
I think America knows
that your Presidency blows
and there’s never been a greater divide!
Run, Joe, Run! But to us all first explain
your own family's sudden wealth and gain.
For left in a repair shop
on your crackhead son's laptop
are shady deals with China and Ukraine!
Run, Joe, Run! You had big pockets to fill
and Hunter filled 'em for you and for Jill.
But, Joe, it's not a good look
to be a fool and a crook
gettin' caught with your hands in the till!
Run, Joe, Run! But sadly it must be said
if you were any stiffer you'd be dead.
It would be better for you
if you had any damn clue
to let someone (anyone) run instead!
Run, Joe, Run! Until that's all she wrote,
mama always said we all need to vote.
America's Ship of State
needs a captain strong and great
but your sinkin’ ship is an old shrimp boat!
Run, Joe, Run! But Kamala is a curse
and her cacklin' word salads just get worse.
Joe fogs up in the west wing
and she’s a you know…the thing
but she ain't ya mama and ain't ya nurse!
Run, Joe, Run! But stop all the fear and hate,
mama always said it's never too late.
O’ but we are all agreed
that America don't need
a mindfu-cked Manchurian candidate!

Political Verse
She stares into the casket
open, not what he wanted,
but she did, even more now.
“Stiffer than he’s ever been.”
she snickered, silent, unheard.
“O M F G thirty years;
look at you in your blazer
and that idiotic badge;”
she toasted, raising a glass
of cola and single malt
discovered upon finding
the “mislaid” Tantalus key.
“I bet you’ll never guess where
your model steam engine is?”
She whispered into his ear,
“Oh, once more into the breach,”
she laughed and knowingly winked.
“Nothing to say, no repost?”
“Not a cutting, hurtful quip?”
“you’re dead, you say. Can’t answer.”
“I was dead for thirty years!”

I tell u what shell b the first to tell you
Tim is crazy he aint even jealous of the devil
he gots propellas on the metal
Rest aside those doubts about me
weapons of destruction I don;t even trust in
Whitesqualls Rise up & swallow yall
Im taking chances riskzs and consequences
and im calling that,,, sacrificed chrome polished brass
and im calling chris competition demolished
Im on a baja in a Hallor
Working hard for the heart of her daughter
Sheep for the slaughter dont even bother me
Yes im a legend your just thinking like a protégé
Well geuss what ? my son is my predecessor
I say " Que paso Senior to her step farther"
And me & her brother did a little dirt together
Yes i was like a pirate that burried Treasure
Then i came back as a Survivor On a Glider like Mcgivor
I'll take you to the cliff if u think ur stiffer
I sniffed her then she pist on my terrietory
Your a Teratorous Im the Astroid headed for u
Im a Hailey Im a ****ing comet
You’re like the Red Foe I’ll put cleats on and crush you
Well Im despondant when you stutter when you comment
Eminem dont u ****in call me
Theres a slim chance that u could ever understand a standard
Well u antsy u better go read the ****in manual
Or what about the instructions, chrome never made me stronger
And you think u lucky go ahead and trust it
Gods the only thing i ever trusted in
as i slide in the night in a maroon mustang
i shine like emeralds dipped in crushed diamonds
I had her heart the whol;e time good luck in try in to find it
shes ****in mad cuz i play and splash in the light years
well Im not sorry for GOD being my Guidence
Smaller stars dye for the brighter star Rising
We are Warriors your women in the village crying
AS we stole your pony
Feel the power of a Stallion chasing the scent of heat in a Filley
Hoofprints pounding in the earth and you mistake them for the sound of thunder
Im picking a fight Im talking calling you out to box me
With no weapons in my hand I fight face to face like a man does
Your English Bulldog Im American Pit, I’m like George Washington and Congress
When they signed The Decloration of Independence, The pen is mightier than the sword
It took the pen to entice yall, yall brought ships and thaught yall was goin faught us
Im like my Fore Fathers I still piss on the title of you ****in LandLords

In life there are choices that you must make
Now some of them can turn out good and others bad
But the way you handle whatever the consequences are
Determines the strength you have
And I can’t promise you they will always be easy.
Some of the choices you make
May lead to stiffer consequences than others
And then they also could ruin your life forever
Not only could they affect your everyday plans
But they could affect your plans for the future.
It just takes one bad choice
To uproot your life and make you change your plans
And then it could happen in just one second
So think before you make a choice
Because it could be the wrong one and lead to suffering.

Hair black as snow's
An awkward crooked.
Smile, to boot his stiffer
Upper lips of red wine.
His gorgeous swagger,
Lingered all the young
Girls battle to snuff
About. Songs of the KING of rock n' roll
Love me tender, jailhouse rock,
Girl happy, Frankfort special,
Blue Hawaii, g.i. Blues. Ect.
His voice left you wanting
More ELVIS PRESLEY,
GRACELAND is the true,
KING of ROCK N' ROLL.
His music will NEVER DIE:
It's an inspiration that will,
And has lasted a decade entirely
Forever.
Entered in contest what songwriters inspire; or writers inspire you????

(07/11/2011)
How my life got this bitter
Only one can be blamed on
Everybody says I need to move on
Huh!-move on and hurt won’t go together
Inside too many holes I have fallen to
But never found which one called true
Once I was drunkenned in the hole of blue
By his deep stare and charismatic hue
I was sticked on him, one-so-called love was the glue
Then on my heart, he nailed a trace
Bleeded to struggle, I climbed off the hole
Yet, still I believed of love itself was grace
I could only pray of better love for my soul
Another time, I fell into twilight colored hole
Inside was a man full of intrigues
He made me feel I was a whole,
Before my fragile heart inflicted by his conflicts
He pushed me away off the cliff
My heart was getting stiffer
I cried inside, he shooed me to leave
He loved me, not as much as to his liquor
The third, fourth, fifth and so on
Never led me to pure heart to open
Tempted by false lusts always happened
How can I get to be this bad?
Blinded heart is a high way to that

When sky is grey and east is clouded high
with ever coming stiffer breeze give mind
to take in sails and make things right with try
to keep bow pointed straight toward great swells kind.
Then we were close off coast of Java Isle
and she was pitching like oft one does find
in seas of vast strong blows, Neptune’s sour bile,
yet seen the harbor’s entrance plainly lined.
Give me to scold a pint of ale for safe
moor tie where we now wait on Captain’s mind
to pay for Java’s tea that doesn’t chafe
and stow below the crates that he has signed.
Now I’ve done my watch making tea is fine
all secured by strong lines that yea do bind
their cleats with bowline ties a careful sign,
this given order be on Captain’s mind.
Near tea sheds, along street where a man fights
for business during day hours, Kelna keeps
a saloon facing ocean’s harbor lights.
Above the place a bare room where he sleeps.
The Javanese locks saloon’s street door close
at night just before time when morning creeps,
that being time to leave for night’s friends, foes.
This know, a business record Kelna keeps.
Thought I’d have noggin right of Kelna’s ale,
it being rain and heat this Java night.
Can’t say for sure why Sooling like this sail,
but she came close to me with smile just right,
her eyes black like two crow wings flying near,
hips swaying time to music quite a sight.
Took Sooling by the hand finding table rear,
where we sat talking ending Java night.
Now I walked Sooling close to my ship, Gale,
ship’s grace well hidden by a moonless night,
a fetching dame beating the seas in sail,
full blown whose shape was a breath taking sight.
Near Sooling’s tea keep’s old shed where she made
her wage for keeping a bamboo hut site,
on finger prized possession piece of jade,
saw we hut’s gain at breaking morning light.

When first it fell - all powdery white
I loved it.
Skipped playfully making snowmen
Throwing snowballs
Giggling youthfully
Took a million photographs
Went on Facebook
Told my stories
Listened to theirs
And then the thaw came
Fell painfully
Slush saturated
Older stiffer
Confidence gone
I dream of summer

I don’t know why I said it,
But Mom gave her head a spin,
When I claimed, “I’m so unlucky
That I simply cannot win.”
She pinned me with her gray eyes,
And she said, “I beg to differ.”
I straightened up my shoulders and
I stood a little stiffer.
When Mom called for attention,
Attention is what she got.
I knew that listening to her
Was much better than to not.
“How can you say you are unlucky,
When you have everything you need?
You’ve your mom and dad and brothers.
We all love you, yes indeed.
Do you know there are some children
Who have no family at all?
You have never been alone an hour.
We all answer to your call.
Daddy works hard to feed and clothe you
And I keep you combed and clean.
To say that you’re unlucky
Is untrue and very mean.”
Her voice softened as she noticed
The big tears in my brown eyes.
“That you thought you were unlucky,
Is to me a big surprise.”
Satisfied I’d learned my lesson,
She turned from me with a smile.
“Now run away and play Dear.
Supper’s in a little while.”
If I were to start complaining
I’d recall her words again.
I’d remind myself that I’ve been lucky
And I always, always win.

Limn of Ballerina Feet
Slaving, aching in separate rooms of satin palace,
Two haggard maids make faces wry while weeping sweat,
Their ten sore daughters with bloodshot i’s, callused
Wince upon each light of high strides leapt.
Never more shall their soles be new sculpture pure,
As once when marble babes of stiffer stance,
Before piano keys unlocked their gaits with gore—
Wrought them damage as prize for performance.
The bank thorns had pierced their heels to tearing,
Limping river-long to learn the liquid bearing:
Mimic nature’s motion, her seamless stream,
Through tempest & temperance
That then they may perfect the sacrificial dance.

Leave it to the Scottish as the royal wedding nears
To unveil their latest, Viagra infused beers
A beer to stir the loins of the newly wedded prince
A beer to shock the royals and make the Queen Mum wince
A beer that’s sure to give the Brits a stiffer upper lip
A beer that makes this Scotland brewer appear a bit more hip
A beer that says “Arise Prince Willy” – “Celebrate Big Willy Style”
A beer best taken “tongue-in-cheek” guaranteed to raise a smile

Empty Shell
I caved in its head in my haste to be fed
On the candy that should be inside
But inside was hollow, that’s too much to swallow
So I smashed the damned thing open wide
Dad gave me a frown and said settle down
There’s no need to call out Dick Barton
You’ll still get to feed your insatiable greed
Cos the buttons are inside the carton
He said it’s a shame that nowt stays the same
And Easter eggs really don’t differ
They once used to be two pieces you see
And the packaging used to be stiffer
But one solid shell is a capsule from hell
With Easter not writ on the side
No more reflection of his resurrection
The day that, with joy, Christians cried

He sat up in the corner and he sensed impending doom
With two ‘two leggers’ flat against the wall across the room
His mother said don’t worry that you’re just a tiny spider
Stand your ground, my son, and spread your legs a little wider
For here’s a secret that is gonna give you quite a giggle
The humans have a seizure when you give your legs a wriggle
So he giggled as he wriggled then he dropped onto the mat
And lay still for a moment so he didn’t wake the cat
Then slowly hauled himself back up toward his ceiling lair
The humans now stood squealing on a table and a chair
So, showing off now, spidey made his hairy body quiver
And revelled in his triumph as he watched the humans shiver
But pride doth come before a fall and spiders do not differ
A blast of fly spray made our spider feel a little stiffer
And as our humans found that they now felt a little bold
Each stepped forward, now wielding the magazines they’d rolled
So now our scary spider found his joke had fallen flat
And as his brain went through his butt he heard his last sound.....
SPLAT!!!

Eyes that are empty
As I look in the bottom of the glass
The color of sky blue
Behind fearful and sad
Underneath, a mystery
And I don't have a clue
What to do...
Embers burn and sparkle
Into the night quietly waking
Neon drawing me nearer
The bar room peers as I enter
Slipping away in my silence
Calling, whispering, through life
In the midst of far aways, a social bite
Laying upon the ground,
knowing once I would've fought
Down for the count, yet a breath caught
And you just don't seem to understand
Everything that I am
If you could just see
This part of me that hides in me
If you could be there
but you act like I'm a strangeness to your world
and I breathe the thin air
Between us
~~Distance~~
Sobering moments
Though only my faith remains strong
What makes this lonely road so long?
Pushing down the pain
As I go it alone
Then you beg to differ
Me and Jimmy B-Alone with my thougts on the weekend
The drinks get stiffer
Last call, slow dance, romance?
Only litarally
If you could only see
There's a better part of me hiding in me
And tonight my eyes are empty
as I look at the bottom of my glass
It's closing time
as I stagger to the sidewalk
Taxi driver, silent
my ears still ringing from the wah baby and amps I was into
and one more night tears fall on my pillow; sultry
Tomorrow billowing clouds await from heaven's pleasantries
And somehow I need not care
that you don't see
What I could be
If I could feel the part of me again
that hides deeply behind me
In this silence
