discordant notes

This morning we jogged early
I was back in my flat by six-thirty
From my tenth floor view of the Charles River basin,
The morning was incandescently flushed by the peach-colored sun.
The transparent clouds seemed stylistically stained, artfully workshopped,
which offered a softened, Tiffany glass effect wholly worthy of worship.

I can’t stop to admire it. I’m jamming things into

A Discordant Christmas Carol

So, you want to buy a gift
for that famous geezer. 
First, hear about the midnight shift
of our Ebenezer.

Late at night, he is concerned.
It is December time,
when, it's been confirmed,
good people lose their minds.

Some gristle in his soup
upset his condition.
Now, he is unable to regroup
and sees an apparition.

He peers out the windowsill,
as that stew's injury lingers,

DISCORDANT TALKING OF THE EMOTIONAL MANIPULATOR

a raised voice of arrogance
manipulating the verses of heresy 

blunt ironic poems
flowering sugar-coated promises

throughout ages 
slander mongering

in every burst of man’s sweat
no blood ever spurt off

Discordant Musings

Dwelling
In the arches
Of dark corners that reach 
The entombment of my stale mind,
Frozen 

In time; 
Freshly scarred by
Unfulfilled musings led 
By stoic apathy singing 
Tunes of 

Friction, 
Fluctuating 
Amidst piercing thistles,
And crucifying vines flooding 
My core.

A Discordant Note

God's world is in harmonious motion
following a perfect rhythm ~
save heart that's discontent

Sounds Discordant

Sounds discordant around abound
We instantly react
Likewise for fearful thoughts that hound
Tranquility detract

Aversion and desire
Send to funeral pyre
Be free, aglow, afire

Crow’s caw mordant 
Sounds discordant

The Words Sat Slowly Soaking

The discordant words sat long with her.
The words sat slowly soaking--
soaking in a marinade of thoughts,
thoughts seasoned with reason

In thoughts seasoned with reason,
the words were permeated and saturated--
permeated and saturated
with knowledge and wisdom

With knowledge and wisdom
the woman could finally respond.
She could respond with insight and intuition--
the insight and intuition of a sage woman

A sage woman

Discordant Daughter of Discord

How doth thou appear so alluring,
When thy content is but aworrying?
Though thy beauty and elegance I apprehend,
Thy charm and power I can’t comprehend.
Tall, short, fat, and slim doth thou appear.
Thou appearest dark, fair and other colours I hear.
But do I conclude that thou art the same, all the same?

When thou doth appear in thy nude,

Death of a Discordant Love

A soul in flames daunting the discordant canvas, eradicating the supreme veil. To be 
drenched in apathy coincides inversely with the stench of a bitter legacy. Severed 
souls search asunder for a subversive scent, only to be oppressed in an overt art. 
Begging death for a drenching darkness to obliterate this dire desolation. Complete

Discordant

My guitar strings in the moonlight should be something beautiful,

but the cold liquid white just makes everything harsher.

–not soft like snow, but deceptively fine –

Light is discordant 

like my clumsy fingers that keep 

mutilating the restless heavens with their attempts at mourning.


Why won’t they move right,

Don’t they realize how much depends on perfection?


I’m right here;

Discordant

"She is the fire within me
and you're my deviation from the norm"
You were right,
and that's the heartbeat of insanity
pulsing my roots from your sweet poisoned ground.

I'm the butterfly pinned in your display case -
will their reverent eyes be enough
to satisfy when you sleep alone?
My wings are bleeding
and you, with a lemon-soaked band-aid -
you think I'm
