Long Histrionic Poems

Today we want to give a shout out,
and maybe within yin,
to both Group Mathematic Eco-TheoLogians
concerned with sacred ecology
of the big ClayMath Quiz.

Can we choose to develop an organic-iconic language
capable of ecologically distinguishing
while predicting secular health
articulating...

Do you ever get the feeling ya being watched
Do you ever get to sleep if ya dream of demons creeping up
Do you measure yourself by the strength of your faith that you keep in god...

Oh I'm sorry I didn't get it, 
not to worry I won't forget it.
In order to win, it's not the contest, 
but rather the spin. The more stupid
the parameters, the more ignoresponses
from amateurs. The more...

Where the floor meets the wall,
She stands in her usual spot,
Craving a cigarette,
Observing, processing, psycho-analyzing,
Another Saturday night with her friends.

Their forced civilized exchange of small talk, 
Boasting, intellectual competitions and back handed compliments
Vainly covers the...

From my alarm's first beckoning
until that first Venti Columbian at Starbuck's,
I knew the day could be filled with stress.
There was an endless Leadership Staff
meeting where Hanrahan imposed his 
histrionic will on all the less gifted...

Those who live an artistic life are genuinely soul-aware. 
It is as vital to the human spirit as is the air. 
Artistry, sculpture, and landscape design are creative,
That's around spiritedness that pulls and is probative.

Bury my heart...

'Twas a dark and stormy night! (OK!  So I'm being a tad histrionic!)
The Earl of Pence was lounging by the fire sipping his gin and tonic.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared sending shivers down his...

Well, the story got so sad
I just wanted to end it.
I found the words on a postcard,
but couldn't find the nerve to send it.

I'd mostly given up
on ever having another chance
and I got the impression

You, trickster, you
Thinking you could play me for a fool
But I know this game better than you
And ‘I told you so’ only goes so far
Words only mean so much
And you’re full of them
I see through...

Why did it have to be you, it could have been anyone else 
But if it was anyone else, I wouldn't be writing this 
You took something from within me, you still have it clasped...

You don't see me
As a woman
You only see me
As your prey
Your next meal
Seeking to devour me
With your razor sharp fangs
Superficially charming
But, I see through your facade
Your smoke and mirrors
Aren't fooling me
Salivating at the
Thought of making
Me...

Ask Nothing of this World

What is this?
What sleek retribution is held within the
Slightest movement on the soil?
What slim issues stance is almost broken
In cadence and cascade?
Words shall leave the senses blind,
Enough, time will find a...

Blinding ignorance
Refusing to admit defeat
To even yourself
Delusions of grandeur
Clouds your judgment
Hypnotizing the embryonic conscience
That you proclaim to possess
No epiphany 
Continuing to live as the hero
That you pretend to be
Denying the existence
Of the villain that owns...

Illuminating purity
Radiating a luminous shine
Capturing the hearts
Of spectators
Leaving delicate imprints behind

Tainted love
Darkens the light
Histrionic superiority
Suffocates the rebuttal
Injustice reigns so arrogantly
Defiantly removing my security

Mirror reflecting 
Secret sins from the past
No clemency
No compassion
Just eternal damnation
In your kingdom

Though...

I feel broken, incapacitated 
This Migraine Disease has stolen
So much time from my life
But also the relationships
So many cannot cope 
With someone with chronic pain
So we become unworthy
Slowly people lose touch
Or some create stories
To fit...

Historic flood. 
There are a few books unread on my
bookshelf and they will stay that way,
I needn´t read everything…printed. 

My depression hangs in the landscape
streaks on dusty window panes tell me

Historic flood

There are a few unread books on me
bookshelf and they will stay that way
I needn’t everything in print.

My depression hangs in the landscape
streaks on dusty window panes tell me
the obvious: clean me now!

Oh the humanity 
the humanity 

Oh spare me the grief 
thy fake tears 
woe is me, mentality 
syrupy behaviour 
Munchausen propensity 
it sticks between my teeth 

Oh spare me the pathos
ham acting baloney
Phoney and pathetic...

How many books, songs, poems and movies have been created 
on the supposition that love is complicated?

Within their writings flows this message…
sometimes histrionic…sometimes understated
that, if it’s simple…it can’t be love…because love is complicated.

Example after example...

Play of conflict snare trauma 
Beat's drum-head hold drama 
Soulful histrionic perfection 
Behind rear view devotion

Of hostel trap left hours and
Stricken rabble memoirs band
Vowing to love each other  true 
Punching in...
