Long Miscued Poems

lesson learned of not taking the bull by the horns

there's this elderly man sitting 
in the front of the bus
he's a picture of cheerfulness 
and mostly goodness
there were also a few other passengers standing

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...

My friend had said
Oh! Father
 What color 
My eyes my skin's shades
 Of many MELATONIN (what)
 I have a white mother 
And yet my father's
 black 
From what am I 
What race am I 
They...

With awkward reach
the strike of the pen has tipped the ink well
splattering onto white paper,
vanquishing the lyrics from the poet’s pen,
scribbling vignettes of joy or strife,
little stories-a slice of life.

His pen shall not find its...

Toe shack 

Put another log
On the near burnt out fire
They tell me to charge more
Then tell me they did the job for a song and a story I've heard before
The Government is prohibiting the bites...

back to bloodied welts.
The trunk was scabbed in gum
oozed out...

It was a dark hole
into an Aladdin's cave of old tools.
A small window
gave the only light and fell
on a rough sawn bench wearing
scars inflicted by years of use.
Saw cuts, drill holes
and the miscued gouges
of chisels...

Mission statement 
broken promises 
miscued satisfactory
guarantee Mount
 of courses

Major pangs pains 
Tranquil mission equality
Misjudge guided path 
Lost on the road 

Fables lies and stories
 yet I'm told 
Guarded yet misguided wonderful
Sheltered yet home

Homeless covered yet...

Grope slopes of love doves through your palpitation periscope
Sacrifice the price of neglect notoriety, preserve the verve of hope
Multiply and gratify the clue and value of courtesy
Divide glides, prides and slides of mock mercy. ...

believe it or not I love everybody
I come from a long line of constraints 
I am often told what I can and can't 
Yet still I love everybody
Respectively I deplete deploring circumstances

It took just a moment
A single concentration lapse
And down the drain,Bayern's effort went
Whilst Messi enjoyed the claps


Life is like a football game
As dicey as a game of chess
A step can earn you fame
Another can end...
