Best Unable And Unwilling Poems

Your thought-balloons are filled with wild and magical freedom ~

until madness seizes your think tank 
trapping your ceaselessly chirping ideas 
within the teeth of its snapped steel-jaws 
refusing to relinquish you; lest you chew up and spit out your mind-racing brain

ire over this cognitive quagmire...

Prayers descend like acid rain from 
oligarch-soaked manchurians, stumping 
for elected office, praising hybrid 
demigods, passing out vouchers to the 
peasants.

A slow rumbling-
 part of the night-sounds-of-curfew;
descends like fire ants.

Cleaners of the guilt, hidden in plain faith,
unable or unwilling to walk, feign 
blindness, darkness helps.

Paraded endlessly, this spectacle the Elephants know to be degrading,
And their counterparts from the sea , the Orcas, resist in captivity
By refusing to unfurl their proud dorsal fin, stings my eyes like a gnat
Lodged in my cortex, no amount of profit seems to dislodge.

Waking from...

Protected from life
Hidden from view
Alone in my room
With little to do.
I sit at my window
Safe from the world
Looking out at people
Going about in a swirl.

Whether a marriage or loved one
that has been lost,
Or maybe a business of which I was once boss,
Now all is gone...

Last 2012 Friday

Sitting here
Friday night
Feeling so hopeful
Jazz horns blaring in my ear
Feeling light headed positively
Bartenura positively without a care
naive kind of silliness 
Wanna jump up and start lindy hopping
Don’t know how to lindy hop

Ready to greet this New Year
Promising to fill each day
Constantly dwelling in...

I didn’t listen to his words
Even though, in my heart, I heard
When he told me I was a hypocrite
I found myself praying for God’s intervention
For the assurance that I wasn’t being
A hypocrite – a fraud, a phony
I wasn’t someone who was just pretending
To love the...

The depth of winter hails the mournful song of the currawongs as they exchange a sorrowful lament with one another.  The chilled evening air echoes with their call, causing a melancholy dirge to settle within the soul.  The white tipped wings and grey...

Why is misery said to love company
while depression demands solitude?

And
is it always true that nature abhors a vacuum
or 
sometimes true nurture adores expansion?

Misery,
depression,
anxiety,
negatively respond to trauma.

Negatives do not look for like company
but can positively appreciate co-passionate listeners,
lit up not not glisteners,
dark solitude
giving sway
power
light
to more festive...

Fat you were, beyond description.
Jabba the Hut had nuthin' on you.
From a scruffy little Brillo-pad sized stray
Your appetite ballooned you
To an incontinent continent of feline adiposity.

A fur covered Butterball turkey
With attitude
You never failed to fall below expectation,
Seemingly unable or unwilling 
To grasp the concept of...

Sole (and soul) brother waves magic wand (poof)...,
and eldest sister absolved of guilt once and for all

Be happy don't worry
understood how thee feel sorry
for never defending me madam norry
(a real word meaning "woman of honor").

She (mine eldest sibling)
unfairly self burdened with blame
must jettison emotional baggage...

He dabbles in this, dips his toes in that
Dithering with daubs, splattering dollops and spatters
Dilly-dallying, loitering lazily lackadaisical
Unable or unwilling to commit.
Half-hearted efforts lie half-baked, unfinished
Laying listless, languidly lolling and littering.
It's so annoying to see time wasted and fortuity fraught
But what can anyone watching do?...

Hot and Arid is the landscape 
Criminals and Civilians alike, Intertwining to coincide
A dynasty of politicians stretched in the crime syndicate
Lizards turning a blind eye to the Affairs

A River forms a

Alone, we sit.
The silence of words
best left unspoken
drowns out 
the din
of busy, bustling
people. 
Coming, going,
chatting, and laughing.
Living just outside
of our small
plane of reality.
They cannot perceive
the fervent thoughts
we share.
Only our eyes speak,
and voluminously. 
Darting
and flashing,
fleeing
and chasing. 
Caged fireflies
frantically searching 
for a way out
of their jars. 
Their...

Leave me alone!
Yep, that's what I said
 as you dragged me out of my bed.
The night is filled with dreams
 and I have no desire to escape their scenes.
Pull the covers off
 tickle my feet as I scoff
I'm tired and want to sleep
 and I'm...

Floating in an endless sea of hopelessness
sinking steadily toward the eternal darkness
whispered promises of the overwhelming abyss
Yet, saved from it all by One Single Kiss.

Heart and soul, both, laid bare to all
brought on by my self-induced fall
unable,or unwilling, to hear my rescuer's call
Still, One Single...
