No Mind For Losing Face

no mind for losing face

  chalk and cheese and
 white bread, black coffee
we did not make it through without the grind
  no softer thrill 
    to tempest of ill will 
    fair enough to say we've had our time
  I do suppose we could romance the ghost
        reminisce on those days gone by
   but I for one would sooner be gone
  who of them can say we did not try?

there is no time, there is no space
      I have no mind for losing face

   no one is at fault,
  blame will not be cast 
 regardless of how guilty we might feel
  many futures past
    nothing seems to last 
     forever is the notion most unreal
  we could be strong enough to carry on 
    getting better the same way we got sick 
 all fates are sealed, th' dirty dogged deal
     no-one here gets away with it

   there is no time, there is no space
      I have no mind for losing face

    I've paid my dues
   I didn't come to lose
    dismissing ev'ry lesser victory
  plenty came and went
   some were heaven sent
 an' possibly meant no harm to me 
 braver hearts will fly, whereas mine can but try 
   to weather, come what may, rain or shine
   with heavy head, I put my dreams to bed
      and begin my freefalling decline

there is no time, there is no space
      I have no mind for losing face
       no mind for losing face

           no mind for losing face

Premium Member Masters of Cringe

Tell me masters of cringe
Should we suffer so long
Practising what you preach
Can’t you make it alone?
That will be fair enough
If you do what you say
Never mind a good laugh
You’re a joke anyway
You’re the masters of cringe
And you never retire
Your warlords on a binge
Setting buildings on fire
People want you to die
But the God says oh no
I don’t want these old guys
Strutting out at my show
They are devil’s concern 
But the Devil says nay 
They’re too stinky to burn
I shall kick them away
Back to where they belong
To that muddy old soil
Where they’ll drown all alone
In the puddle of oil.

Premium Member The Rumble

I remember the rumble
It seemed so distant at first, a whisper in this urban jungle
No one seemed to notice it
There was no proof,no broken glass, no fires lit

I remember the sound of it 

It was like a earthquake that moved the entire continent of consciousness
While keeping everything in place
Our morals and ethics drifted further away
As we ran our rat race

I remember the thought of it

The pocket watch of tension winding us up
Unable to see who it is winding
People begin to shout, act out, and cut up
As if they were out of timing

I remember the feeling of it

Bit by bit we became disjointed from one another
No longer anointed, we quickly moved to strike down a brother
A sister, a mother, a child. We forever will walk that green mile
Yet somehow do it all with an Instagram smile

I remember the taste of it 

Hypocritically bitter with a hint of lemon
As the clean rights of women get trampled and hidden
Plato's guardians only protect themselves
Those of the wealthy and those who will never tell

I remember the smell of it

Was that tear gas, a train crash, or just normal pollution? 
We smell our bottled water before we drink it, hoping its the solution
Like paper mache plaster on this ecological disaster we call home
If we pay enough money, maybe we can live in a dome

I remember the sight of it

Now undeniable, issues too big to make just one liable
Its too big to fail, but not fair enough to be viable
Violence is common language, truth is in disrepair
Illusion tasty like candy, vying to be our next heir

Yet I remember 

At first they came for them, and we said nothing 
We became divided and chided the idea of one house of something
Where everyone is community, strangers and enemies too
All we have left now is fragments of the new rule

And the rumble. Can you hear it?

Premium Member Magnetism

Some say love draws us near?
Fair enough, I guess – I'm happily married.

But fear rules the day on a much larger scale, 
the magnetic completion of opposites, making 
for wholes – the undeniable physics of greater society
which can't seem to break its grating bonds –  
 
Do we fear more the dark, or that which
light exposes in us?

Many admittedly buying and selling nearness, for temporary
safety or appeasement. Magnetism!?

The differing poles of fear and
love...hate and love – up comes 
down – in, an out process – God and
his man.... Oh were love a dominant
constant, permeating all society,
at all times!

Seeming, more often, outside of
theology and poetry, a myth of
the failed heart...a grade less,
necessitating the attractive quality
of heaven and hell –

Premium Member Free Coffee

I stopped for a cup at the local all-nighter
I'm a regular there. I'm the "poetry writer".
You'll always find the occasional hack,
The delinquents, the addicts, that hang in the back.
A drifter, a grifter, disenchanted and surly
All nameless faces, except the waitress named Shirley
I throw her a line, she throws me a sign
Our usual "Hi, how are you?"
Then step to the bar, put a ten in her jar,
She's divorced and the mother of two.
She looks out of place with her ribbons and lace
She's polite, friendly and kind
But make no mistake, she bites like a snake
With a switchblade tongue, razor fine.
They're busy tonight and I need to write
She brings my black coffee to go
Says, "I'll give you this, you give me a kiss
And that will be all that you owe."
A kiss on the lips for ten dollar tips
That sounds fair enough to me
Besides, she's pretty, got big titties
And gives me my coffee for free.

Black Beauty

She has an incredible beauty!

Totally talented but an exceptionally goofy!

Her skin isn’t fair and that’s what I mostly like!

She’s not faking it and that’s why she is liked.

 

She sometimes gets teased by bunch of guys.

She doesn’t care because she’s a rare spice!

She is someone who knows how to sketch,

Her wildest dreams can be drawn in a simple scratch.

 

She isn’t fair enough but she lightens my day!

Cheerful eyes of her are smiling and that I must say.

She’s a good friend of anyone,

She values friendship like her most precious one.

 

One thing that I love about her is her sincerity,

She initiates to do things with love and prosperity.

Some may call her black because she isn’t fair.

Her heart is as white as those clouds of His care.

Premium Member Thats a Moray

[An offering for fans of Dean Martin... or not. More or
less to the tune of ‘That’s Amore’ (not the ‘In Napoli’ bit),
this is the cleaned up version of an unprintable original.
In UK ‘Old Fellow’ is a euphemism for... let’s just call it
man’s best friend.]
                                         ***


Big long fish in the sea
Eight foot long and wriggly
That's a Moray
Well I pooped in my trunks
It was biting off chunks
That's a Moray

First it bit my thing
My ding a ling a ling
People on the scene
Heard me bellow
This big fish just bit me
And it swam away with my old fellow

Then I heard someone squeal
That big fish was an eel
That's a Moray
Then they bought me a skirt
To conceal where I hurt
Fair enough

Well, I gave it a whirl
Living life as a girl
But no more, eh?
’Cause I went down the pub
For a flirt and some grub
That’s amore

See , this bloke wandered by
With that look in his eye
That’s amore
He said hey babe what’s yours
Slipped his hand down my drawers
That’s amore?

But he felt quite a chump
As he fondled my stump
End of soirée 
Had a tear in my eye
At his hasty bye bye
That’s amore 

I learned electronics
Made some bionic bits
That’s amore
Ladies squeal with delight
When I ‘stay up’ all night
They’re in love

And they all ask of me
Is that whole thing for me
That’s...
A Moray
But I’ll write nothing more
As I think this has gone...
...Far enough.

GASTON GLOCK THE GUNSMITH GOES HOME

??????GASTON GLOCK THE GUNSMITH GOES HOME??????
 
Gaston Glock, the genius gunsmith,
The gun guy behind mysterious myth
And the groundbreaking Glock handgun,
Produced the glock gun but now gone.4

What a grand grandeur idea granulated.
Gaston Glock's genius granted 
Global gunmen gleaming & grinning.
Gaston Glock's gone yet gun's glocking.8

Glock's groundbreaking forever glocks,
Gifting us a great gift worth a million bucks.
He deftly designed the dependable gun,
As the dawn of gunning & ghostlighting begun.
But Glock's groundbreaking handgun
Became an instrument in the wrong hands.
Killers, dealers, smugglers & gun gangs
Gaining guts to gun down with the glocks.¹6

Gaston Glock's Guns, granting guardians
Great gallantry, and turning them into villians.
Gang guardians guard against grim gangs. 
Conversely, Glock's guns generate grief,
Granting gunmen gruesome glory relief.²¹

But Glock's genius glocks gave mankind defence
Against godforsaken gunmen & misdemeanours.
Gaston Glock's great gift gave guts
To pull the trigger when danger flickers,²5

Glock's gun became reliable defence, fair enough.
Gaston Glock gave a great gun gift that's tough.
At age 94, he passed away blazing glocks,
Leaving a legacy that'll last farther than all the nooks.²?


In memory of Gaston Glock, the founder and producer of the glock handgun. 
Rest In Peace ?????????

Absence

"Absence makes the love grow"
    Absence grows love?
                      grows love??

Okay but what is what is absence?






                      Fair enough 

But surely, if 
  In            love will grow 
Does that mean that 
    The lover loves the lovee more when the lovee is not in e 
                                eyeshot 
                                    and earshot 
                                        and noseshot
                                            and mouthshot
                                               and even tongueshot?
Surely not but hmmm




...then what?

Perhaps the statement's truth lies in the fact that 
    Pain brought about by wanting to 
                   be even a foot closer to her
                        hear her gentle chuckle 
                             be....there
 
Seems sweeter than the pain of her being         in my life

Clearly making me sadistic but I know that this "sad" will 
     not "stic" around forever 

Like a donkey being led on with a apple as time goes by , 
Your
         desperate 
             desperate 
                 desire to indulge in it's sweetness only seems to grow 

However I desire  not only the sweetness of the apple , I too don't mind experiencing the 
       Bitterness 
          Hardness 
                 Sourness 
I REALLY DONT CARE. 
      I JUST NEED MY APPLE.

So perhaps I should allow       to do its thing 

     Guess my mind will continue to ironically...spiral mindlessly 
     Guess my fingers will have to wait for the day I see them to get shake uncontrollably 
     Guess my arms will continue to not be 'arm'ed with her warm embrace
     Guess my smile will have to wait to conquer my face , even when her presence ismiles away 
      Guess my lips will remain dry, not being moistened by hers 


And that's okay. 

Because the         of        marks the end of the      in my heart.

But theres only one way to find out, 


Right?

Premium Member - Grey Shadows Never Dies -

The black side of a life betrayal and choked dreams 
Cries of pain that are locked into their souls 

Evil twistfate deals aches and screams 
Inside darkened dungeons filled with peril and woe 

In the trap, feels like stuck in of eternity madness 
Hands are not chained but mind is unclear 

Hidden away from the world today within darkness crying 
Nightmares of life's perils strike deep irons hotly burns 

Blowing with the wind, flying a hurricane 
Shamelessly all trying to live from day to day 

Frozen ice frosting bites cold deeds creeps inside scars 
Slowly from the scrapyard of life's twisted metal crushed 

They cried many tear, tears of hope - wanted life to last 
But life was not fair enough as the remains lay deeply covered 

Unraveling out savagery of an animal cold cutting steel beast cursed 
Piercing howls forgiving the past in order to be redeemed blessed
