Long Adages Poems

I can see the web of lies around me
Constructed by the spider in my heart
Just a manipulator
Playing its games with my life
I promised myself
As only a fool can
That there could be a safe haven
Calm within...

Adages Pt. 1 (the cloud) 

I am just baggage to the world 
Cast away and forgotten 
An entire life 
Waiting for something 

Every so often a random passerby 
We exchange formal soliloquy 
Just talking to...

Tom Sharing Aphorisms
(old adages)
Composed: by Miracle Man
11-9-2019

I’ve been told, when younger,
”I could start a fight in an empty House.”
Because often “I would cloud up and rain knuckles,”
and later “was a sight for sore eyes”
Sometimes “I...

In the jungle of our collective heritage
In our wild teaming with endless species of flora and fauna
In the savannah, the tropics and the deserts of our kingdom
There is place for neither the honest nor the...

in the rusty tide animating bones
of deluded gods reaching for the lie
etched on eroded steles in dead lisps
licking flames of seers tossing guts
filled with blue and red fascists 
infecting the hands of the curious
willing to...

Upon their parting each commenced to launching old cliche's, takin’ turns at tossin’ well-used comments back and forth.
Zeroed in on Waco, Rowdy started walkin’ south...while - bound for home in Butte, Montana - Jethro headed...

IN COLD BLOOD


We live in a world of deceit and lies,
Squatting aimlessly like measly flies.
We smoke the weed of compromise,
We abuse the adages of the wise,

We spew the venom of hate and greed.
To the winds...

Embracing silence as my friend
has often saved my sanity.
I realized its benefits.
The adages seemed right for me:
 
         Silence is golden.

It's far better to be an ass
Than to be bothered by an ass.1

Had God not known what an ass was,
He'd sure not have denied it horns.2

It comes an assling, goes an ass.3

Adages Pt. 2 (darkness) 

Everything is spinning 
A place so dark with insolence 
Ignorance 
The trickiest joke for man to bear witness 
Soon drawn into it himself 
If not one extreme then into the other...

I am attracted by
Virtuous notes
A capable sound
From a Steinway & Sons grand piano

A mighty orchestra
Unknown melodies
A child prodigy at the keyboard
A Gift of Peace

The hammer that strikes golden strings
Of a grand piano.
Bravo. Hurrah.
A Laurel, a...

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
But man is slaved to fate,
No fun or spontaneity
Unless you speculate

You can’t keep a good man down
The candle’s sturdy wick,
Yet alcohol and ageing
Seems to do...

Old adages,
Growing older with ages,
Wrapped inside,
Torn books,
And periodicals,
A dislike grown out of over their use,
And failures after their use,
And their newness in old times,
Had bundled into hatred,
Adage repositories,
Were thrown in attics that be,
And remained there...

Against wild dogma and feathery wit,
Shall your sound idioms and wisdom
Outshine fickle folios of mortal sages;
Proving verity in its irrepressible form.

Your arresting dictums shall outshine
Obtuse hallowed tomes devoid of life, 
Which erudition’s minions kissing die;
Sepulchered...

I wonder why i write rhymes
and my root rings in rhapsodies,
oh, my mouth moves in melodies
....my pen is pegged to poetry.

I wonder why I woo words
that makes mighty men melt
like butter...bowing, blessing
my passions, pride and...

Oil and water do not mix.
Bones may break with stones or sticks.
Old dogs never learn new tricks,
At least that’s what they say.

Feed a fever – starve a cold.
Lunch is never free, we’re told.
Practice makes things...
