Your trait TBH --
Narcissism behavior
Hatred...that's BS
Personality
Matters to me as well as
Character so pure
Your motives, so bad
Shady to the core and such
Naughty, out of hand
You're in want always
Coveting over me and
My lustful nature
Writing sad senryus
I know I suck at these poems
So over you, so true
I feel bittersweet
Tune in strange mind and young heart
Easy to forget...
I'm skeptical...and
Don't give a damn what you think
You'll regret me gone
You left me behind
Only to find my shadows
Of lies, cries and highs
Sick of coveting...
And sinning...tempted truly
Headache to go through
Sorry for your lows,
But it's not my fault at all
Your loss, not mine, hun

Do not covet the good fortune of others
Greed and envy are killers of the soul.
Achieving on my own, that’s my druthers,
That is when I feel complete and whole.
Greed and envy are killers of the soul,
Good rarely comes from what isn’t earned
That is when I feel complete and whole
An important lesson in life I’ve learned.
Good rarely comes from what isn’t earned
Certainly, never will it be fully appreciated
An important lesson in life I’ve learned,
An envious attitude will never be satiated.
Certainly, never will it be fully appreciated
More craves more in a never-ending spiral,
An envious attitude will never be satiated
Indeed, it infects; it can be likened to a viral.
More craves more in a never-ending spiral,
Achieving on my own, that’s my druthers
Indeed, it infects; it can be likened to a viral,
Do not covet the good fortune of others.

When He exceeds the sum of all,
Still they covet their windfall.
When success needs His blessing,
Still they covet transgressing.
When consequences hold sway,
Still they covet their own way.
When He sets prisoners free,
Still they covet the carefree.
When praise should carry His sword,
Still they covet being lord.
When trust is His way of life,
Still they covet real-world strife.
When His curse begins to burn,
Still He covets their return.
"Your corpse will come back to life,
Everlasting joy is rife!"
When His trust lesson they learn,
Then they covet His return.
When He exceeds the sum of all,
Then they covet His windfall.
Man is not the cure, or fix,
Says Isaiah twenty-six.

He noticed unfettered wisps of hair
Limping against her shoulder, there
like hints of rebellion,
Tickling his inner consciousness;
He could not see her face
from where he sat,
But he imagined it of consequence
Self-assured and strong, that
Face which mirrors smug confidence
as she claims his place
In line, flaunting her prim estate
Each pinnacle he might have seasoned
Were he a woman, or so he reasoned.

One man able to do a bad stuff
toss the coin, the side that is with a flaw
gets the hand to be tied in a cuff
to stop the bad wine to pour more and more
the red sign from this lad now goes off
deed not dead, open is this cruel door
‘mend your ways’ from the law but he rebuffs
the tree of good he cuts with two chain-saws
his woe may come from peer fun as they flex
or the ‘boy and girl’ sin of drug and sex
or also from a mind so fast to vex
on a mask and with guns to raid a house
red and gold kiss the mind to take the blouse
but all puts the flog near the sick mouse.
