Young Mamma

I'll respect your smug remarks
even though I don't agree
I just don't understand 
why you're patronizing me

Heaven forbid this incident
should e'er befall you
until you've walked
in these same shoes
you don't know WHAT you'll do

You wag your tongue
and turn your nose
at every move I make
But you're still a brand new "mommy"
just wait - you'll make mistakes

You think you've got it figured out
YOUR perfect child can cope
they'll turn around and hang you
with that 'condescending' rope

You'll soon see how hard it is 
to ignore them when they cry
until you've been a mom awhile
you best not criticize

Where On Earth

(not that ye wondered, 
but simply tubby like totally tubularly clear
The Epic of Gilgamesh will not be extolled here).

Though thoroughly well mapped, parsed,
     scrutinized vibrant wonders zoom
plethora, sans newly discovered life forms
     cradled with fecund Gaia's womb
abound within unlikely places

     such as mossy bearded faces
     nestling, pronouncing,
     and regaling pharaohs sarcophagus tomb
oceanographers also find organic entities
     adorning, kickstarting,

     and thriving within extremely
     remote temperature zones,
     where just enough telly tubby wiggle room
prevails for microscopic
     Verizon patronizing Grand Poobah

     barking orders unicellular viziers heed,
     while latter bedecked 
     with itty bitty plume
invisible to the naked eye, yet within
     subatomic world wide web
 
     bit players air heir loom
appearing larger 
     then cereal grain re: life,
     an arrogant, bumptious, and conceited Don
     doth trump his young

     unbridled, reprobate, and ornery baron as groom
material to check mate
     distracted checkered populace,
     where raucous, rebellious, riotous
     majority lumpenproletariat fuss and fume

cuz gaudy Mar-a-Lago hiss poe tate
     tow headed (faux towering
     Taj Mahal doppelganger),
     via slow vac didst suck socialist rowdy
bot tinny Rajah,

     whose apprenticeship to exhume
(pro bone know) spy bots
     miserably condemned from the get go
     as president erupted rabidly trying to doom
rousing, scenting, and trawling

     non-convincing "witch hunt,"
     yet incontrovertible evidence carelessly
     swept hurriedly under the rug
     (by Russ Shins) via broom,
thus a sudden spike

     visa vis master card er...
     comeuppance will bring ringleader down
     with strep away poison
     nano trumps all abloom.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

Now in summer re:
     this Dom minion doth attest
intention to write
     a boot equinox got out best
head, although pleasurable
     to loose imagination off chest

so thank you for
     letting me be a cerebral guest
and now...no dilly dallying,
     cuz another writing assign 
     requires responding
     to Matthew Scott Harris's behest!

POWER IN THE TONGUE

A petite yet sinewy muscle, exuding charisma,
A citadel of expression, tenacious in awe.

Its tentacles sting with a vindictive jest,
While cavernous blooms cradle the nectar’s quest.

Cobblestoned emotions jade my mental slate,
As chronicles surface, vivid and up to date.

A fragile form, each breath a whispered plea,
Cracked like ice beneath a trembling sea.

Nervous breakdowns drown me by the shore;
Patronizing gazes weigh heavily on my core.

A colossal trial looms, plunging me into chiaroscuro gloom,
Echoing the spectral whispers of Annabelle's forsaken room.

Whiffs of solace levitate from amma's lap,
A delicate darling, like rose dew on morning's nap.

Yet, from heaven's soft veil, a Messiah descends,
Bestowing wisdom, like a balm that mends.

A cooing whisper: “Confidence is the finest accessory one can wear,”
Infusing my fragile spirit, quelling mayhem with flair.

A garment forged by time, self, and panache,
Glinting like sapphires in the esoteric cache.

For fear ravages the dungeon’s shadowed depths,
Shattering armor, leaving it fractured, bereft.

Magnetic words defy gravity’s law—
A candle in the rain, my flame untouched, in thaw.

Premium Member Love's Last Wound

Friends?
Are we still friends?
Can we JUST be friends?!?
Oh such a horrid, charity-stained question!

What a keen and salient dagger it wields!
The pity that you wear like black lace finery,
Is as deadly and whetted a sword as any raised in battle ... 
The patronizing look in your eyes presses on its hilt

With the agonizing weight of feigned cordiality,
To pierce the tender flesh of my hopes,
Deep and quick and precise.
Why ... why this last dose of bitter passion??

To ease your careless conscience?
All you've done is make the blade more jagged,
The wound more brutal and raw.
Now here I lay ...

Exhausted in spirit and sinews,
By what I now realize was lovemaking for clemency's sake ...
One last, tender moment to minimize the blow.
Shards of moonlight through the louvers,

Lay like broken pieces of porcelain on furrowed bedclothes,
As my passions bleed out at your feet,
Draining my heart of the realities
Of what I thought we had ...

What might have been, beyond friendship.
My love for you collects in a puddle of one-sided regrets,
And now this dreadful question makes all a travesty,
A mocking, cruel, pitiful farce ...

No, my love, I can NEVER be just ... your friend.

Sgt Pepper Mama Africa

This is my Sgt Pepper Song

The 1 that never got on

Because this was not a Pop Song

More a delve into the truth a mirror of reality 

Take a Drive with Me
And in less than an hour 
This is what you will see

Amarulla Fruit covered in Beatles and buzzing Flies 
Being sold in battered Old 1.5L Plastic Coke Bottles 
By native women with babies strapped to there back
Anything for a Shilling or a Dime

Under African Sky 
Burnt Red Sand under Bare Foot
Where the children while the days away

Yet
Some see poverty 
Some cry slaves 

Because they cannot comprehend 
They measure not happiness 
 In terms of acquiring things

But take refuge rather in the simple things 

A long walk to frreedom drinking water 
And a Plot called Home 
with a Corrugated Shack upon it

And nothing but Love
To reside within it

But ask a question
Speak no lies 
Ask me if I wished to swap

My pampered life with 1 of them
Honestly I would have to reply
Sadly 
No

Because selfish is
As selfish be

The Rich live Poor 

And the Poor Die Happy 

Bound by a communal sense of Electricity
That cuts through condescending patronizing sympathy 
And unwarranted Charity

That in Reality 
Only makes the Giver feel Better 

And the Receiver a Debtor

                      He never complains about its
                                  enormous , heavy weight.
                        His life is adorned  with tolerance 
                                 and stoicism.
                        He  bears it, filled with an 
                           unrequited, unparalleled
                                   love.
                         It is like a steadfast  desert
                         never causes him to moan.
                          His fortitude like a rambling
                               rose is etched in his
                                   tender heart.
                        Soul enfolds , the sun-drenched
                           vast sky.
                       He tolerates its patronizing, 
                              dismissive ,reprehensible
                         attitude about him.
                       He hugs and cover it with kisses , without
                         any hesitation or doubt.
                      The aromatic ,perfumed Spring's
                          smile like the passing moonlight.
                       The terrified of dawn is never in
                         tears.
                         The wounded dove dances,
                              gazing at mountainous
                                   bloody sea.
                             The breath of a blissful
                              rainbow is unruffled.
                     The astounding, overcast sky.
                            sings the lasting dream.
                        A rocky road of love is woven
                          into a meditative  trance.
                     In the chaotic realm of sadness
                          is enshrined divine
                               happiness.                 
                        A glimmer of truth is enshrouded
                            by an unyielding snowstorm.
                         On the canvas of dreams,
                            dwelling a sunny optimism
                                painting in hues.  
                         In the realm of words, residing
                            a powerful spell painting
                     a celestial delight.

Awestruck

Awestruck 

My pellucid teddy had been left in the kitchen overnight
someone had scratched its eyes off
The eyes had been dark green buttons taken from 
a nazi uniform that had belonged to my uncle, who joined
the Hitler army to fight the Russian communists.
My mother, the communist, didn’t care for her brother
1945, he was declared missing in action, therefore, not
stated as dead; had he been around now, he would have 
been 120 old and admired for fighting the Russians
How we, in the West, love hating them and also when
Yeltsin was in power, patronizing them because we covertly
think they are stupid.
The cat coming in from the terrace jumped up on my lap
yawned; her night had been busy.

It Doesn'T Smell Good

An awful stench  is circulating in the air
erupting dark clouds  everywhere
Rough waves moving backward
casting doubts and hammering fear 
Muddy water gushing down the dirty stream
disrupting and shaking the core of my dream
You brought me upon this corrupted earth
To suffer, endure pain and  eat dirt
I am feeling so ashamed
I doubt if I can rebound  again
The bricks are piling on top of each other
There is no way I can get it together
The boomerang is flying around
conquering its mission and fortifying ambition
Great God of the universe
Come minister to my bleeding soul
I am living but I am not living'
I am eating but I am not eating
I am speaking but I am not speaking
The wind has come to a standstill
It is sucking up all the energy from within
The trees watches in awe saggy leaves
broken branches  patronizing everyone
They are not swaying they are silently groaning
I am standing on the broken rock
which is about to collapse
The full moon has come and gone
leaving everyone in the dark
The werewolf has resurface again
leaving its impression deep in the clay
Short roads and long roads intercepts 
And a great burden is looming over my head
The river is running dry 
And residues are evident everywhere
I am walking carefully on the side but 
But I have just slipped into the mud again.

Premium Member Apologies and Roses

we don’t appreciate
the sun until it r a i n s,
warmth of gentle rays
that subtly stroke
distressed skin
 when time was f r o z e n 
   smiles were s t o l e n
and hope yet again
      remains b r o k e n…
whilst I’m lying here
in the in-betweens of 
     procrastinated promises 
along bitter breezes~
you use your poetic
words as a weapon,
oppressing the guardians
around my dreams, 
oblivious to the 
translucent truth
laced in trimmed nylon,
that you and me
we’re made of
the same s t o n e
we wear the same
crown of t h o r n s
sitting on the throne
of darkness, full of
stainless steel cages
and chain link fences,
turning 
  these emotions
into 
   cancerous tumors,
knocking on your
conscience, patronizing
the pigments of
  my petal-like palette
by questioning
your own roots..
but now I’ve got feathers 
in my bleeding heart,
and if these crimson wings
could fly, you’ll find me
  soaring  above seas
  of solitude, that pushed
    me down to an abyss
    of n o t h i n g n e s s.

watch me unlock
the keys of jasmine doors
to seek serendipity surrender, 
as my muse serenades
rainbow reveries,
amidst faded stars 
and moonless nights 
which
gaslit my 
  apologies and roses. 
I have tried
   to twirl through
ravenous ravens in a
carnival of carnivores 
you’ve fed my mind
labelling me
as the serpent q u e e n
     with twisted words,
whilst you whirl around 
  with 
   ghosts of p o e t r y
in your 
    cathartic h a z e..
your love
is a hand grenade
   that shattered my aching
bones into scattered
s m o k e and f o g

they say
the biggest hearts
are the 
   biggest targets,
and the rifles you hold,
seems to have
my name engraved in
    blood-soaked tears…
so, now that you’ve
pulled the trigger,
how would you stop
       the ammo? 
Will you remain forever
in your 
    unbending silence
a false humility 
   disguised
as k i n d n e s s
that flickers glitter,
to ascend brighter
as the bullet settles 
upon my spine, halting
me from movement? 
Or will you watch me
 c r a w l back to the
spheres where I belong? 
for I refuse to rot
as a victim of an
unwritten circumstance.

Premium Member Love's Unraveled Strings

Love's Unraveled Strings

Love's unraveled strings sound soft in the wonder that embraces me whole
To the one coiled through the world that spins endlessly in hypnotic motion
Of springs blooming upon you smelling to me of shame burned by sunlight
Of shamelessness definitive concept that beats my heart in your open chest

I dreamed you in the sweet replay of a dream forever promised and awaited
Destined for each other we kissed endlessly beneath the vault of heaven
A portion I took from our infinity that slowly trickles through our fingers
That drew with deep darkness the stars' chimeric outline in the night

When I'll be once more seized by longing that chains me within my soul
To your heart a gentle tamer with whips to colonize obedient ants marching
Down your spine's ridge scorching heats that burn my thirsty skin alive
To YOUR PARADISE a savage holy dance that would cover you tender child

With my childlike shadow patronizing your night with the pallid light
My white dove nailed in my head that flies itself as prey for the crow
The rarefied sky of my mind so high when I shall perish in time's sand
My heart I'll leave you stopped beating in the void that parts us always

I gift you at last love's heavy labors of wounded Achilles in his pain
Until our dead children lost in time we'll weep their fate together
The emotion of being becomes pure AESTHETIC of my love POETIC ENGINEERING
The loss of her ripe shamelessness counted from two to three to four

The letters of bitter anger of my love to separate themselves apart
Of eyelids' reflexes of cruel nature from behind your blind gaze's depth
To write with closed eyes to my love kisses secret hidden letters
Silent crunchings of your nothings borrowed from the future into past

Burned brambles of buds of green autumn that brings the cold wind of fate
Blooming your petals on command to your youth burned by flames consuming
To my old age not yet drained that flows in the heavy glass of time
That sings slowly love's broken strings in the wonder that envelops us
