Long Misdirect Poems

Therapy is afraid of me,
I'll write it down for you to see. 
The mental examination process of my necropolis, 
Abomination  of mental stability, into a thought abyss.
If you think before you act, you're ability surly...

1st commandment "have no other god except me"
Should there be, He is impartial referee 

2nd commandment "do not make idols"
It simply makes the two seem equal

3rd commandment "take His name not in vain"
If thou shall...

If there’s no god, why show respect
for pain that’s felt by an insect,
for doesn’t that in part deflect
from order’s natural select
which did from soup somehow infect,
cajole or otherwise confect
life as we know it, and inject
complexity,...

The Truth

I am here to make you...
uncomfortable. 
I am the truth, 
the whole truth, 
nothing less than, 
but there is more. 

The problem is you never look for it. 
You never step outside your zone,...

When I was a kid, I know, long ago,
We scrumped apples from neighbours orchards,
Climbed trees, scared bees, skinned our knees,
And once, quite daft, built a raft on the river exe,
Which upended before I knew about...

She lays in the long grass of the meadow,
Taut with anticipation,
Tired from the hunt,
Remembering the hurts of the past and the lessons learned.

The deceptively soft nose twitches; five directions at once.
Catching scents from yesterday and...

Take me
Shape me
Misdirect me
You always want to see me
Down on my knees

For ever
And ever
I will always
Be there in front of your face
Screaming

For years
And years
I have been obliged
Followed your rules
Without doubt or question

It is time
for change
MY...

Oh sing yon violin upon your strings
and play harps and lutes melodious things
come sooth my soul and for our losses
and shatter pain upon our bed of mosses
 
Dost thou dare to stay our hearts entwined

these carnal desires will see me expire 
inseperately stained from this foul game 
of avoiding the smallest pricks of pain, 
growing rage for making me play 
with these machinations inside my brain, 
artificial aspirations alienate...

Zoning by micro-climates my
Yards' spaces, and then
Xeriscaping them to conserve
Water because of the drought, I can
Visualize neat straight furrows
(Under colorful vines
Trailing red, green, and purple grapes)
Saturated with various seedlings:
Radishes, squashes, sprouts, etc.
Quietly absorbing sunlight, and
Pushing...

2016 began on 8.13 and ended on 9.30 2017.
Betrayed and inhaling for the last 9 minutes,
My mother shooed with imaginary broom,
The puny demon trying in final futility
To misdirect her soul.
She breathed her last at 1800...

The powers,
the powers 'that be'
wish to thank you
for your on-going servitude,
for your compliance,
conformity,
acquiescence,
gullibility,
subservience,
apathy,
disinterest,
inattention,
and your willful or blind ignorance.
We gratefully accept
your abject submission
as we strive to eradicate
all opposition
and discussion.
You are the very best of sheep,
the most...

It is the house of consciousness
channeled from above
It is the home where dreams reside
The cozy place of love

Invisible, intangible
distinct from flesh and bone
commingled with the breath of life
brought forth by God alone

The coverings that we...

Sometimes people manipulate circumstances point fingers;
And paint accusatory renderings of destruction;
Muted with the colors of intention to misdirect and discredit.
But when the dust settles the flags of honor can still be seen flying
And even though...

autumn lingers unfinished
though cold drops november 
rain and waits undiminished
'til native summer sun remembers
what could unmake
when days full ache
bloom autumn colors
quick winter all borders
golds greens yellows 
reds purples browns
a rusted rainbow frowns
as leaves scoot over...

Parly to con-verse, lia to mislead or inform
Mindfully as in (ment) 
Parli is part of a word that explains, with
lia in the middle who so often complains
Ment to misdirect one.. Or billions? its moot?

Lots of praise, but little respect,
So many days, what do they expect?
My job is a maze, to serve and protect.
It hardly pays, last time I checked.
Into past I gaze, hardly time to reflect.
Could have gone...

Context each a feature, joust by name-
Whose length of lance shall contact be made first
Both are measured equal, and held the same
But only one shall win, the other cursed.
And intricate does a magical reform
Both horse...

The time of your life is now.
Your past is no more
And your future is tomorrow.
The essence of life, and the world,
Is planted in your soul
And grows like wild daffodils.
The light shining from within you
And the...

Slippery and slick
Greasy 
Teflon
Eel
Grasping the truth like
Driving 
Without
A wheel

Divert them and misdirect
Hide
Slink
Slither
It all will mount up
Soul
Shrink
Wither

Smoke and Mirrors
Shade
Shadows
Dark
Where will it end?
Life 
Without
Spark

Be straight and true
Open
Honest
Sincere
More of this we need
Truth
We should

Are you honorable?
Upright
Decent
Good 
Do you...
