Long Dishonestly Poems

By Stanley Collymore

around, is the lame and unconvincing excuse
that’s...

Feral Exchange

I am well spotted and nasty and do not mind that description

Will gather my fortune whatever is your inappropriate depiction

Dig my teeth into your body and soul straight down to the bone

Leave my scent...

Anxieties wake us up when we are in affliction.
We will track down a creative wellspring of motivation.
Obsolete ideas have flourished in objection.
Is it true that we back to the hermit turtle? Rejection.

Because of this paradox,...

The Betrayal of Love Last Forever

Someone other than me has held you
I knew
Some one other than me has touched you
Has seen you
And though I have never entered on this betrayal
Still I loved you

Someone has tasted...

Let there be a new song of oneness
Not from the old ruggered gun of lies
That perches on the ego of pride, and
Let butterflies grow in the shoulder of
Hatred that governs this breakable world.
We can be...

That she would give...

My usual meditation in the morning 
Was abruptly breached by a mosquito 
Tearing the quiet of the moment growing
The vanished scar is an adverse memento. 
It was seen at my foot immovably stuck
Inflated with blood...

When we travel,
we do so rather mindlessly,
never thinking that others
are out to live dishonestly,
Some will stoop to planting their
illegal wares on others,
causing all sorts of confusion and bothers,
Many will try to attach their ill-gotten
gains on...

If I explain you, that wouldn't help you 
To understand the importance of a subject,
until you don't fail, you 'll never learn the values of a thing,

It was nailed up at the huge door,
Where people dishonestly balked.
I wondered what for.
I walked up to watch the shuffling flock.

There are too many people in the crowd,

It never leaves my soul 
I try to go about my daily life
But the pain creeps up 
It cuts like a knife
It invades even my dreams
Memories that were happy

To Mary J. Blige 

Sister, you're gone through hell and back, 
We know from what we heard but you know the facts 
Of the drama playing like a daytime serial on TV 
Or like a...

What love embodies is set in stone
Only a pickaxe can break
What's truthfully there, damage prone
What the heart wants is stuck with a stake
Maybe I’m the pickaxe who destroys all love
But I will never be so...

If all you need to ask, "Is beauty truth?"
It isn't much you need to know on earth.
It's less than what appraisers say it's worth,
This jar with frieze depicting frozen youth.

Curators and collectors both agree
If forged...
