Long Detestation Poems

Hark and listen well, if those foretoken in the eyes of hungers lust
Trapped in their illusion, trampling the Stars into dust
Forced with the detestation stench by the swamp of absolute disgust
Thou blackest scorpion be accursed,...

If greed had not been passed down by generation 
If love and peace had not been reduced to confiscation   
If the rules of government had not been trapped through the lamination 
of corruption
Destruction
Devastation...

Once upon a tragic, forsaken love,
A wish miscued from somewhere above.
So incorrect, 
I could not detect,
Nor should expect, 
Our bond fit like hand to glove.

A sour lullaby, sang a love you couldn't feel, 
Naive to...

IN  MODERATION
By: William S. Labtis

Anything….taken
in excess is wrong! 
Physically, morally or legally!
What may cause or uncaused  you
Un-ending  indigestion, detestation
 protestation , exhaustion or exhumation!
After that condemnation…is a word of caution!

We may take...

I am a Savonarola chair
carved from discarded 
remnants of cedar and birch that
littered our backyard - 
waiting to be burned
or broken by a trespasser’s hands, 
or tended to by the warm touch
of a gardener’s natural...

ON HATRED

Acrimony is like a malignant tumour
Alienation confronts disaffection
Alienation takes the hand ill humour
Acrimony leads to separation.

Disloyalty commands anxiety
Love and animosity oppose
Disloyalty arises if one gaiety
Love does not presuppose.

Antagonism consumes impediment
Antipathy feeds on success 
Antagonism...

A deadly invasion peels back to set a strong formation
Bleeding to take place over the intrepid detestation
Radiant ways light up the new nation
This was a fight of solitude to overtake bureaucratic dictation
Supervised by the infamous...

The icy winds subdue my soul with a livid will to live
Warmth against the frost, dwindling in the enshrouding grove
We are scattered on this earth, cold, warmed and in-between
And here I stand amid the shy...

You feel your body falling in blackness.
You snatch your shoulder to the right.
The nausea stops.
The bottomless pit is hell.
Do not enter the midnight.

Up in the window, stands a coyote.
His teeth are bared in detestation.
He howls...

…the greatest poet who ever lived
…our Lord Jesus Christ

Wishes that wash upon the shallow shore,
Lacrimal lesions of the holographic whore…
Tectonic temptations, the lava shall pour,
Unleashing emotions, entombed we gore.

Mangled monuments of ruins regurgitate,
Surfacing megalomania of...

Silent persistence peeling skin from bone
With undamaged precision
Easing an imperceptible knife into flesh
Exposing a fragile heart
Stripped with naked vulnerability
Surrendering willingly to anaesthetized hands
 Craving achingly raw excision
Clouded with hope filled desperation
A lullaby of forged belief

One day, you'll be dead to me

My life is a hazard to everyone
And myself

My desperate detestation for you
The way you are
What you do
How you breath

My hatred for you is an endless pit 
Of Hell and...

Sharpen the blade and start the fire
Set ablaze your selfish desire
Alas, I have learned of your hidden goals
It is you for whom the bell tolls

Call it hate, call it detestation
For your love is the only...

It’s a tragic time  
When hearts do bleed
When a young  man lies dying
By another’s hand

We storm highest heavens
Cries of lingered pain
Wave of tears descending
And solidarity yearns

Gone too soon
Too soon to die
There’s no good...

Broken hearts
Black as tar
A sister’s love burned away
Forever replaced with irreversible hate

Reach for light before the night forever takes
Your soul away
Fight the night, seek the light
Sisters’ love
Can be an unbreakable bond

A soul slowly baptized
In Lucifer’s...

A  break up!

I've had a breakup...
With a person..?? No with my emotions,
With my love and aspirations
 
They said love's a give and take relation,
But little did I know it demanded a high compensation...

Every time...

I dream of heaven in my sleep 
For long, I've cherished far and deep 
A world without detestation 
But peace and reconciliation 

I dream that I got wings to fly 
So I could soar to...
