And That's A Bit Too Unkind

How can you ever think
that my attraction is 
an appropriate wink...
that's a bit too unkind
to reject me, stay behind
and throw an arrow
to wound me pitilessly:
it's not the first time or last!
What you hide and won't show:
is your mindlessness and vanity:
compassion cannot be put to rest!

And that's a bit too unkind
to recognize your unfairness
and disregard who has feelings;
and that a bit too unkind
going around spreading terrible lies...
feeding your ego that lacks kindness!

I gave you the best of me to you;
I dedicated time to make you happy;
want was a remedy for your malady...
empty hands didn't go well with you!

And that's a bit too unkind,
seeing you looking around and start affairs;
I can break it anytime without regrets...
and get rid of this restlessness that grows!
And that's a bit too unkind...
denying me the chance for a turnaround!

The Dead Tree and the Pierrot

—A certain weather forecast—

for he has no home to return
a pierrot painted with snow-white make-up
walks under the moonlight up and down restlessly

under the sky, the pierrot
sleeps all curled up because of the nightly chilling air,
now stands with both arms stretched out to the air;
the moonlight streams in through the openings between 
the pierrot’s spread fingers dyes his face to pale blue

a leaf that was blown off by the passing wind is
being shoved and tumbled all about the lakeside 
like the pierrot on the stage, 
now returns to the tree where the leaf was conceived 
and clings on the tip of a broken branch, and asks 
tomorrow’s weather condition for his bygone days 
were the series of miseries

on tomorrow,
the rain that is heavier than the moonlight
comes through pierrot’s spread fingers
may fall and hit his face pitilessly

on tomorrow,
the rain that is colder than the spray of a breaker
hits the lakeside breakwater
may bring a wild wind
to push the poor pierrot’s back 
and shove around here and there cold-heartedly

Freedom Reigns

"'Cause when your back's against the wall
That's when you show no fear at all
And when you're running out of time
That's when you hitch your star to mine
We won't be leaving by the same road that we came by"

~Keane - My Shadow Lyrics ~

------------------------------------------------------------

There is no celestial place for you to guide my thoughts
Can you not see that I am free from you? 
I am a black bird perched high in the treetops
You will hear my crowing and you may hate it
But my dear, you cannot take away my voice!
Yet still, as fire oppresses forests of life,
You can abuse my freedom to find your glory
You may discard these words for your love of gods,
And in so doing you may simply ignore
All the cries that I so passionately utter

But my infectious species will guide your mind straight back
To that once so lonely treetop where you merely glanced
And there will be multitudinous, oppressing thoughts
That shall enslave you and bind you unwillingly
The crows will only grow louder when you turn away—
When you pretend to ignore with your remaining, strangling pride
For my voice is a production sent from above
Dispatched to judge you pitilessly for your swelling lies! 
And the choirs of ferocious beaks shall open forever
Harmony and dissonance as one

Premium Member Believe Me

My joyful world had abruptly stopped, Beloved, to exist, believe me, 
          When you unknowingly faded away gently in the mist, believe me. 

      Like a heartbroken beggar, with intense longing, I wept to see your face,
        Craved ardently and mournfully to be passionately kissed, believe me! 

        A broken-winged bird, pitilessly parted, I crooned a sorrowful song, 
         All loving memories, every day, fondly I reminisced, believe me! 

      Like a commanding Queen, demanded, what I believed to be only mine, 
         Wished our love to be all pervasive, eternally subsist, believe me! 

         Everything that happened in our life was an unforeseen catastrophe, 
        Leave dismal sorrowful days totally behind us, dismissed, believe me! 

  Fate has brought us back to where we truthfully belong, for all days and nights,
             You remain perpetually with me, no one can resist, believe me! 

          Let enchanting flowers in xxxx's garden blossom in full bloom again, 
           In each other's eager arms, we unwaveringly persist, believe me!

Premium Member Picking Participles

I was punctured by punctuations
The words you wielded with such disdain
A ravenous revolutionary
Pitilessly piercing deep into my vein

I pretended such positivity 
Holding happy forward as my shield
Your attack so precise and persistent 
cold and calculated you would not yield

You left little to the imagination
Expressive expletives flowed from your lips
The harmonization of my horror
I was firmly nestled within its grips

Attacked by your callous conversations
Skillfully white washing every event
They were but measly misunderstandings
Never the nouns that I thought you had meant

The truth is that I perceived your pleasure
Within that capacity of your cruel
Heading towards a cliff like a lemming 
Dancing dangerously close like a fool

So I sought out new triumphant treasures
Better lines lead to a more complete me
No more would I dangle dangerously
Halting hearing you speak helped me to see!

From Death To Life

A leaf on a big tree was happily hanging 
Favorably for every passer-by just to see
He was appreciatively coloured green
Like a bean, he was very much attractive

A treacherous wind rose up to shake’im fall
Forcibly, on the ground he landed green
He stayed’n suffered some time unseen
That was the moment’s norm to endure

On the ground, he all lied dead wondering
Why the bitter wind slaughtered him untimely
But he learned the truth was alive, not a lie
Black, red’n white ants gathered’round to dine

Eaten gluttonly, he suffered insensitively
Failing to feel the odour of the enemy
Who tiptoed to pitilessly extinguish him
While on the ground, he was lying powerless

But a generous wind to save him has blown
Him up like a living butterfly in the sky
Courageously, a new life he’ll have to try 
Posing on a new branch of any big tree
He had died, but a new life he’ll remake.

Premium Member Wildflower

I exist bound by you
like wildflowers planted pitilessly in dry soil
that plunder and devour the strength of my seeds

My stem grows pallid
My petals scentless and uninspiring
My roots withering in arid dust 
strangled by weeds of apathy

Parched in the blight of callous care
Squandered in winds of insentient lies
That snare fire like fugitive arsons 
Burning me with insensitivity to shrivel and sicken
As you beget your vanity with the strength
Of the Sun’s scalding degrees

So scarce the waters of your compassion
that scarcely feed my soul
I stand naked, bare and weak
in the barren home inside your pain

I cling harder to grip
As I wither in the dust of lonely casualty
Strangled and forfeited 
 
I slowly die clenched in your fist of willful despair
trembling from your demise
As my unseeing love yields the compromise

The Hub Of The Earth, I

Some vehicle screeches toward soundless nights,
a wheel cover errant for intimacy,
as it settles midst different roadside slights.

The decreasing engine roars criminally,
pruned for a snapshot temporal existence,
the bright hub unpolishes pitilessly.

The earth's orphans coexisting subsistence,
under new suns and periodical moons,
melts in a blink of an eon insistence.

Meddling miners carved canyons, felled forest looms,
a blue world shadows as a universe watch, 
sculpt mountains, charcoal skies, oily oceans, dooms.

A womb will reinvent the species that botch,
our metamorphosis cast a new sasquatch.

ALL YOURS (Mar 20)
~~Brian Strand

Hell On Earth

Satan orders Eve to give Adam
For humanity fades; there settles curse
Curse on the land, on parents and generations
Generations are victims of their innocence
Innocence for ignoring their suffering
Hell in Paradise  

For Cain kills Abel for jealousy
Jealousy for disgust and endless wars
Wars by colonizers over minerals
Minerals remain uncontrolled
Uncontrolled are the behaviors
Hell in Africa  

For a man’s unwillingness to leave power
Power that impedes fair elections
Elections hindered by men of terror
Terror directed to humans and nature
Nature’s destroyed by stained humans
Hell in Central Africa  

For no fear to remove rights claimers
Daytime people pitilessly kill others
Bloody is the land, no peace and no food
Life is worthless, there are lots of screams
Killing for power and minerals is blatant 
Satan lives in the DR Congo, for that’s hell
