Decent Poems

The Decent

Deep in melancholy fields I sit.
Heavy with the thought, I'm pinned in place
The past, present, future wrestle in silence

A hill of happiness rises in the distance—out of reach, yet inviting
I notice that both sides are longer than the apogee
My legs tremble, not from the height but from fear
Fear of short-lived joy

Each step echoes in the

Nothings On

Buck off a twenty; should twenty
buckshots mean nineteen too many?
Extinguished abruptly,
with Godspeed so mighty,
effortlessly shattered,
sending molars afar.
So far they say a
shard was found in
the neighbor's yard.

Found someone at the bar.
Didn't want to get in the car.
Pray tell, that didn't get far.
I arrive at the walkway;
I push past a pause, just
I can't stand until
standing right side

Decent life
Pure life

I can’t do that
Psychology destroying the life
Destroys in my life
Parasite science
Plastic
Kills my life.

Why must I accept this science? 
This is a mental poison, a mental cancer
Oh, where are the prophets?
Where is the God?

Oh God, why do you give free will to the human?
Can you see it? Can you see it? 
Psychology what created

Premium Membera decent obsession

underneath 
his trenchcoat
he was 
in possession 
of a bent quill
he used it to tickle
words out of his 
avaries of birds
moon-eyed and 
sucker-punched
they adored the 
dripping honey 
he spooned
into their 
unworldly
wide-open bills
his avarice 
for swollen 
notoreity
observed 
by the dark
night-eyed
hunters
while he,
unsuspecting, 
stalked 
newly commissioned
clean and unmarked boxes 
with his know-it-all
best bumbling 
holy-roller turns

the nights 
are full of

The Recent Is the Decent

Steve likes to control people's lives.
He could hate men for their bad wives;
Who tries Steve's eyeballs to death drives,
His razor worse than twenty knives!
Thus, Steve's trusted friend Jeremy
Had to become his enemy
Jeremy to face his army 
For being recently The Barmy...

I love Steve's dead sincerity,
Not his love for temerity:
His mad thirst for severity
And voice for

Premium MemberA Public Message To All Decent Democrats

We want all Democrats to behave
As though they truly and genuinely believe
In a True Democracy
Stop at once the nasty hypocrisy.

Oh! Let the republicans behave
Like they belong in frumpy old cans
Of lies, insurrections, nightmares, hooligans
And right-wing fans who crave and rave.

We want good and credible elections
Not biased and absurd selections
We want Real Democracy.

We want Justice, Freedom

Decent Persons

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that

Coffee Much

It's time for coffee much,
Maybe with some lovely grub,
You barrack for my club?
No? You're doing well,
My football club ain't doing so swell,
So, it's time for coffee much,
Hope you've got a decent club!

Farewell

In the decent of October
with the early morning dew
came to the ground
was a wise old leaf

It's fall so silent that
only audible to the closet neighbour
was it's farewell

A colossal tremor felt
as the dew hailed 
with unforgettable pain
to the vein's discontent

It's fall so unnoticed that 
only visible to the magnified harbour
was it's farewell

Stiffened it laid on the

Premium MemberDecent Descent

Bearing fatherly integrity’s good stature
My Dad, regarded with great pleasure
Ascended as clan’s patriarchal figure
Anchored upon tribal culture’s procedure.

Showing kindness and sharing his bounty
Not on his elevated platform, but from his heart’s generosity
He was sought-after for his counseling authority
As he offered gems of truth along functional practicality.

Afflicted with cardio-vascular illness
He was seen descending the staircase of

Iron of a Lifetime

In the laughter of the decent 
Baskets from the past bring sorrow
And the joy rapidly disappears 
At the sight of their evil deeds
That once used to be their way of life
They changed, only to suffer
From stabbed wounds of guilt and regret
Do they question the choice? 
Or is it the darkness that they loved?

They hoped for

A Decent Proposal


It’s not my place to say,
but I’m gonna say it anyway ...
I’m in love with you
Now that you know the truth,
what are you gonna do?
But, before you decide anything,
dear Princess,
listen to this humble declaration of mine — 
My love for you has been growing over time
This devotion is deep, 
and I’m not a fool
I know,
