JUST CAUSE

Without cause, teachers, classmates, and neighborhood kids mocked at my pitiful station of poorness and entrenchment in painful shyness, calling me dreadful names that chipped away at my soul.

At my first job as a...

I’m the shadow behind your imperious stance,
Lurking in the qualms of your history.

Sometimes I wonder what will be best
If I decide to write a poem for a Souper's contest.

Everyone wants theirs a certain way
Nixing any ideas I may have had in play.

Trying to create a written piece...

A heart stolen, a heart fallen
In the pursuit of a suitor’s suit en route to company
Thought wondrous in warm words of Ellen
Despite purging a loneliness litany 

Uttering unspoken pleas
Defending decisions to cut off oxygen
From sarcastic...

Fear conquers and guides them
like sheep in a trance
with their weak-willed existence
only leaving nothing to chance
defy and define this

behold your creation

Worship the free thinking
for they think like God's
weaving...

You made your bed, now lie in it
devoid of warmth and care
between the crumpled, dirty sheets
Pretend that I am there

You made your bed, in crazed haste
and hoped to cover all
the memories that you had of...

Expectations unmet
In love that shone light
On hopes unfelt
Strode astride in flight

To Cupid’s abode
Where love smote
A heart that rode
A hurdle whose coat

I’ve read your status updates
And admit I’m frazzled
Your mind reads like a puzzle
I’m running behind

My approach is one of...

I continue to struggle, because the trouble never stops
Running away from stress, but the cycles tied in a knot
And I confess, I've walked through the shadow of the valley of death
But I held my rod...

Beastly burdens of life
Millstones round my neck
Not that I malign my wife
For in my eyes beastly burdens of life emulate a sneaking snake

Writhing on the hard road
Through life I travel
On my head perching an abnormal...

You can't always hope to know what's in my mind,
but if there's something that suits you - that's fine;
don't write just for you, your readers like something,
be gracious, accept defeat, don't think they need therapy.

There's...

A Foreigner in a land of chicanery, can't see the forest nor
 destiny aimlessly adrift tween dusky skylines searching
 'pon comet-like nights, 'neath the shine of absurdity

Thoughts honed to a razor’s edge
The dictionary and thesaurus be my whetstones
Set atop my stalwart quadrupedal aide
Pulverized hemlocks be my stationary cohort
A hewn cedar be cylindrical partner in rhyme
A sooty viscous slurry be my workmate

Sleaziest of deeds were witlessly conceived 
Despite the vows once promised to abide
Lacking penmanship in the art of a game you designed 
Drawing blank inferences where the heftiest of prices reside
I'll be kicking the barrell...
