Best Unreceptive Poems

Deceit and duplicity, vengeance and vanity
Exploit our weaknesses and dissipate our souls’ strength
As arrogance cockroaches multiply their insanity
We diminish the strength of our faith 

The more we immerse ourselves in new technologies
Stung by advances in artificial intelligence
Deluding our ignorance and bestowing empty eulogies
On partners we...

My love is light (a fairy kiss?)          
               Like the pressure of sunbeams on your cheek, 
     ...

Just a note to let you know I am taking a break from the soup. I didn't want anyone to worry.  I do plan on coming back, I just need to concentrate on other aspects of my life for a while. Thanks to all...

A pill for this
A pill for that
A pill for your pet armadillo
dog or Rat.

A pill to make you sleep
A pill to wake you up
Drunk with water
from a glass or a cup.

A pill to take you up
a pill to take you down
A pill to chase away...

Summer boulder-boots wear my thoughts
Thoughts warmed by winter coat maligned in poison oak
With an indelicate left-breast
Pocket inscription stating the obvious
 “Boys Don’t Cry” 
(Simply put and rich in depth, obviously) 
All together, together all.  
All together one we go
Neurotically traipsing unreceptive asphalt

Summer boulder-boots wear...

'Twas like imagery or perhaps deja'vu
air quotations or a hallucination,
naught tangible to the naked eye
but an echoing of whirlwinds,
mere beginning of an expansion
tucked aside noncommittal whispers
reverberating discorporate shadows
on dividers of processing graphics,
rough drafts' emphatic intimation
of intrusively summoned reckonings
referencing old featured impressions,
mid-escape concentrated faculties'
unfocused low-density frequencies,
betwixt...

If scorn were tangible, my neighbors' feelings 
would be fiery red. Through my window, I just 
saw them pass by. Seeing me, they quickly looked 
away, as if my brief gaze could be fatal. What is
their problem?

It's NOT my fault that some people are anti-social!

When...

What might it take for love to conquer anger
fear
hate?

How is holistic compassion already more contagious than a-holistic self-hatred,
we-hatred?

There is more than one way to hear a**holistic here,
but they all have to do with sectarian divides, apartheid walls
sometimes felt more intimately, reductively personal,
and sometimes more transparently,...

DRESS FOR DREADFUL DURESS 

The lady’s largesse did not this gent impress
Nor did the dress she donned with damnable disgrace
A woman whose embrace embodies deception’s face
While her grievous grace invades an otherwise sanctified space
With speciousness as a specialty to which she is inclined
A figure defined...

Nestled in his recliner,
His body oozes into the grooves, 
Filling up every nook, every cranny
Until a synergistic union of man and
La-Z-Boy is achieved.  
His eyes are unreceptive, half closed watching his
High definition plasma widescreen;
Yet they remain constant on the TV,
Like a doctor staring at...

I waded through the waist deep snow 
Lost and forgotten where no one would go
Evading failures and faults of my own
Cleverly hidden but now I am grown
Expectations of Love and forever more
Unreceptive misgivings always close a door
And as I am so lost inside here I...

What force determination drives within
the seeming endlessness of weak despair;
what infinite release from wanting’s wear
on mind and heart still bowed beneath the sin?
What captivates the memory behind
a trace of fingers left, to linger sweet
upon the skin where lives, emotions meet
and in that moment, finds them...

A NOVEL OF NEGATIVITY

Things happen to me the best fiction writer couldn’t dream up
You could fit all my good luck in a child’s doll house tea cup
If bad luck had teeth I’d have a torso marred by festering scars
And for me there’s only wishing on...

Silver shone in your eyes 

As you handed me over 

To the darkness I once ran from 

The shadows of loneliness 



The gold, the silver, the bronze 

In our possession but I fell over 

Into the blackness of dark waters. 

The waves of security swarmed over me



I looked at your face through...

Once upon a time
I was barren and mentally unreceptive
         Ignorant to the concept
      Of being truthful
                ...
