Satirical Resentment

" Dear wife, why don't you embrace
the wind of changes by being ablaze? "
the disillusioned husband inquired...
" A lot more affection is required! "

You patiently bore my off-spring with continuous glee,
when constant fortune was the source of fortitude in me,
you knew how to satisfy every desire, every need of mine...
have you withdrawn the generosity of such a gladsome smile?

I glamorized the moments we spent alone
into the silver moonlight, the kisses we gave
to each other under that rustic shelter, if rain came,
and no fragments of luminous stars fell from heaven.


If I were a chivalric hero, returning from battle with tales
of valor and victory:  you would be running to me
with roses in your fair hair and delight on your young face...
so what's keeping you from reaching extremity? 


There's an absence of emotion in responses,
with lots of repulses to repress my advances,
while my gratification remains incomplete...
as a parting embrace with a doubt so infinite.

The Music Stops

The jaws sing
As the drip, drip, drip,
Of the petroleum chorus
Dances across 
The inverted aluminum
And the hissing starts
And the hissing stays
Its smell a warning
A final omen
Like the last rose
Of summer
Or the fragrance she wore
For that final goodbye
The teeth tear inward
Like the regret for today
And the regret for yesterday
And the lament for tomorrow
Its promise broken
And your khakis red
And baptized 
A stigmata
To self infliction
As the music plays constant
And the rushing you feel
An emptying of sorrow
Onto the crushed ceiling
Of a dream in reverse
Of all life in reverse
Until two arms grab you
And you fall from the sky
And you fall from the sky
Waiting
For the ground
To coronate the outcome
And for one more answer
To a ‘why’ unquestioned
And to love you one more time
But the lights are now dim
And the voices muffled
As an organ can be heard
And store bought flowers smelled
And an old woman cries…
As a young woman cries…
And a stranger pronounces
What you feared the most
They didn’t know you
And couldn’t know you
The exit sign flashing 
But there is no door
“There is no door”
—and then the music stops

Creams of Daiquiri

Peer to peer vows of seeded cloud,
               Whirli-o-Wisp, of Creation,
          thinking aloud, 
       whismically, 
    avowed.
 

        Whisps of condense-sings dance in His gaze,
       A sky so vast and wide, ablaze.

      The stars emerge, one by one,
      Dazzling in their sparkling crowdfun-d.
      Such a wonder to behold,
     A sky so grand and handily bold.

    The boon, of a shining silver disk,
    Guides the way through the misty risk.
    Illuminating the earth below,
   Its gentle light a soothing glow.

   The sky's eye sees all, far and wide,
   A canvas of colors that coincide.
   A breathtaking beauty, beyond compare,
   A sight to behold, so pure and rare.

   So lift your eyes and look above,
   And with wonder, fall in love
   With the sky that envelopes us all,
   A majestic wonder that stands tall.


           The sky's eye, a milky gaze it wears,
       An ethereal sight that none compares.
   With hues of pink and orange so fair,
       A painted sky of wonder that we share.
                Its cream of Daiquiri-Dowery Fare.

   The sun, now set, a memory in our minds,
  Leaves behind a moment that eternally binds.
          The stars engaged in twinkling shine,
    In engagement, like diamonds on high,
  Guiding us through darkness to a lighter side, 
     like a marriage of fairytales in lullaby.

      The sky's eye, it sees all that we do,
     A constant presence that rings so true.
     It reminds us of the beauty in our lives,
    And the love that within us thrives.

     So gaze up high, and cream a dream, thickly, 
     deliciously, taste the foamy lips of open zing.
  Let your spirit soar, a vast plum-lined plume extreme.
   For in the sky, anything is possible,
  A magic of possibilty, to dip in your cast of eye.
              Gift of our Supreme Being.
          Cream of Daiquiri. Pie of Phi.

Premium Member Vantage Point

Life trickled through an hourglass of hurt

Oozing not soothing a nectar of stagnation

He turned the pivot upside and downward

But the aperture never shifted its focus


Narrow and confined he felt trapped inside

Squeezed from outside and within the pain

A kaleidoscope of constricted reflections

Or a rushing mirage on a twisted horizon 


He had to shed the load on his shoulders

Trim the drippings of foul shaped remains

Crash the distorted mirror into mere shards

Cut loose from expectations’s compression


Over endless time he began to understand

Surrender requested a change of perspective

And thus he suspended both ends of the timer

From the wild tree of life grappling for meaning


He seized the right angle and remained still

For a succession of a few tranquil moments 

Mesmerized he cradled himself from below

Closed his sad eyes and floated above himself


The world flowed on its own without pressure

Began to gather momentum as quietude shaped

A constant reminder that outlooks may change

When seizing the core rather than flawed outlines


When he attempted to measure his progress with

Formulae equations and axioms the centre reverted

To the unwanted chronograph of crushing oppression

And reminded him that letting go meant not to hold on

Premium Member Bossy Cow

Daisy was such a bossy old cow,
one who desired to rule the herd.
Her opinions were so highbrow
the others dared not moo a word!
 
Daisy would moo and moo all day
whilst the others chewed their cud.
I dare not disclose the things she’d say
if amiable cows mated with the stud!
 
One day Daisy met up with the local bull
who really was a quite handsome chap.
She fluttered her lashes, being on the pull
but her constant sniping was a handicap!
 
He mated all others in the bovine brood
which put Daisy’s nose right out of joint.
He detested her for her rude attitude,
yet, she insisted on arguing the point!
 
Daisy was ill-bred and she’d never yield
so all the other cows chose to back away.
Bull turned on his hooves and left the field
leaving Daisy all on her own chewing hay!
 
Although Daisy was the farmer’s oldest 
she was just as nasty as the farmer’s wife.
He complained the old cow was the coldest -
I wonder which of them caused more strife!
 
The farmer didn't suffer from guilt or derision
when the slaughtering man came into town.
He allowed the butcher to make the decision
as to which cantankerous cow he'd put down!

Premium Member Escapade of My Pet

A long time ago I had an adorable pet,
his name I fondly gave was Billy.
He liked to lie on the sofa, dripped it wet,
I thought, of him that was silly.

He would never use the assigned place
where he was trained and supposed to pee.
Outside of the house nobody saw his face,
too lazy, inside he always wanted to be.

His insular way of life I didn’t at all mind,
too cute, I wanted him always around me. 
With his constant presence I was entwined,
for he became an integral part of my family.
 
One spring, outside he started daily to run,
my heart broke when after a long wait
one night, home I didn’t find him return.
My neighbor said he ran away with his mate.

Premium Member Penitance of Working In a Grade School

Yak Yak Yak
Saying less than nothing
Gibber Gibber Gibber 
No one hears for we have shut off our ears

Yammer Yammer Yammer
We try to eat in silence
To no avail.
She needs attention, not realizing she is annoying

A brave soul attempts to interrupt
She is new
Not understanding the way this will go
Crow woman glares at her, and talks more loudly

No one else looks up
We learned long ago 
Crow woman’s constant banter is her companion
If we try to eat in our rooms, alone, she follows us

The penitence we pay 
For working in a grade school 
Where most of us only talk to children four hours at a time
Yak Yak Yak I cannot wait to get home to my silence.

Anxiety a Monster

The world upon my shoulders
 the thoughts they will not stop.
 I want to scream out loud
But no one cares a jot.

Sleeps a distant memory 
Worry a constant friend 
There’s just no hiding place
When anxiety your new best friend.

Work just piles on the pressure  
Them targets they must be hit 
The price you pay your sanity 
At least the profits will not be hit.
 
Your mind is in a frenzy
You’re emotions are on edge
Anxiety’s like a demon 
That’s talking in your head
Telling you to worry 
About the most trivial things
Draining all your energy
Sapping all you’re strength.

Anxiety’s a monster 
It’s No one’s imaginary friend
Ignore its constant voices
Its advice please never heed

The voice that only speaks violence

Her silence spoke louder than words
Her eyes A window to her hurt
Begging to be heard
She thought that was something she deserved 
So why had she been ignored 

She roamed the earth like a ghost
A lost soul hoping for more
Hoping someone will help her 
Someone would see how hard she tries
To not cry
Despite her watery eyes

She hadn't known peace
Even within sleep
Even her pain haunts her sleep
She wished she could be 
Someone else 
To have a brain that wouldn't constantly turn on its self
Words unspoken trapped in her mouth
She wants to scream and shout 
Only silence found its way out 
She wanted help
But she didn't know how 
All she wanted was to stop drowning herself 

Her body bore the weight 
Of the burden of hate 
A painful ache 
Her constant headaches 
To her it was funny how she was full of silence 
Begging to leave 
For anyone to see her constant pleas
But anytime she tried 
She was denied the right 
To fight for a life 
That hides in plain sight 
The only thing that stopped her was her mind
A place where it was hard to find
A thought that was kind 
This caused her to be blind
To a new life so she could leave her unhealed self behind 

She just wanted someone to hold her hand
To understand 
And guide her to a life
Where she didn't have to constantly fight to stay alive
