Best Vexation Poems

The cessation
and alleviation
of the causation
of irritation 
is the clarification
of information
or the realization
the situation
in contemplation
is a manifestation
without liberation
except termination
of your fixation.


I wrote this in 2003 and it was the first of it's kind known at the time....

where shall I run
if the dormant grass remains
to prick my bare soles
as I scurry to the other side
in pursuit of this child
whom I would give my very life
though her life may not mirror my own

the string in her hand
that balloon in the sky
seem so simple...

Feel your blood bubbling under the skin
As an erupting volcano
At a scorching boiling point
Causing an intense rage
Seen in the behold
As beady eyes
Until you 
Regain 
Peace

Ahhhhhh.... they make me so mad!
A fool, a buffoon, an unruly lad,
A prankster, a trickster, a tattler,
A gigolo, a lounger and an idler;

An imposter, a pretender and a loafer,
A party crasher, a tailgater and a golfer,
A boondoggle or a task of a tall order, 
And...

Im trying
while hes lying
hes crying
while im dying
feelings are changing
and old ones are comming back
which makes up for all this stuff that i lack
just trying to find the strenth
to get through one more day
building up inside
this hurtings here to stay

Vexation at self - regarding avoidable altercation...

Today May 12th, 2021
at Royersford (Pennsylvania) LIDL,
when spouse stepped into checkout line
(minus her horse drawn grocery cart -
pushed courtesy yours truly).

While passively standing stock still
I (think Stonewall Jackson)
let scenario unfold before
mine myopic eyes,
whereby acquiescing
nonverbally attempting to scooch
closer to conveyor...

There is a pounding
And the lungs forget to breathe
As lips softly touch
For love is the hearts domain
And a vexation of mind...

I have realised shortly that "silence"is one of my 
defence mechanism.
At times when sprayed by anger I drape my 
outfit silence.
Yes, I veil my emotions with quietude.
There are lot of aggression boiling inside 
powerful mind which is compressed in 
my conscience.
When somebody don't value my...

Now I feel jealous
Though I cannot explain why
Vexation; envy...

My heart falls like rain
At the sound of your name

Tears of sadness fall softly from my face
Where tears of joy used to be placed

I can’t stand the feeling of losing you
I no longer fathom what I can do

Your love was what I used to sing
Now...

I. The Lost

The sting of pain
It never leaves!
My heart

It lingers…
So vastly!
So deeply!
And the internal tears
They continue too!

Persistent
Falling without a sound
Abiding here
Still
Until, they are found

Begrudgingly to quit
Deliberate they fall
Drip…drip……drip
Like blood from a letting
Into the abyss

Reaching through a darkness
To a never ending call
Like icicles in a mist

I've got a little problem 
Some say it ain't so bad 
But, yeah, I got a problem 
I can't get you out my bed. 

Hiding under my pillow 
Or vanishing 
Beneath the sheets 
The blame I place 
relates solely 
to my need for relief. 

I...

Stress be gone, Stress be gone, Stress be gone
Periodt, Periodt, Periodt. Be gone, Be gone, Be gone.
Shake it off, Shake it off, Shake it off. Not today, Not tomorrow shake it off, Shake it off, Shake it off. Get out, Get out, Get out. Poof...

This verse offers such flowers,
gives them to us,
presents a vase of verse
so simply, yet with grace.

So simply, too, do we
receive them with that grace,
presented as they are
within this dainty vase.

Such a vase, with grace,
such flowers, with grace,
such a vase of verse
containing those flowers with finesse.

Why...
