Long Self involved Poems

Fr. Time, thanks for coming back again today.

Well now, you know I always have plenty of time
for Ms. Integrity!

Thank you for that rather cloying and creepy response.
I talked to FireGod a few days ago, 
were...

Babe's on their knees eager to learn-grow-evolve-crawling-cooing, yes-laughing-if you will... 
leaving-no ware; there, albeit wherever they roam... given the chance-yes... ?

Enlightened time elated graceful light skips along beside them proving-them I'm finding to-be 
just as...

Remarkable mother devoted wife
Forty seven years with her partner in life
Before he passed, rarely apart
He was her rock, she his heart

Unprepared to live alone at age sixty eight
But that didn’t stop her from buying a...

The last bomb of the day had fallen.
Broken debris and buildings lay strewn on the ground.
Never thought the corner of Main St. and Fourth Ave in Los Angeles
would be demolished and lying in pieces.
The destruction...

What's the Norm? (for Contest)

Precious moments 
you've gotta steal
Cyber love 
it's for real

feelings deep
you've never met
owning your mind
can't forget

Online talks
Friendship sought
Innocent enough
or so I thought 

shared secrets 
intimacy found 
I've been here before
life turned upside down

can't help it 
somehow we just...

We fell because of his dishonesty which comes from selfishness 
when he forcefully lies to your face and you couldn’t careless 
answers to questions you avoided asking to avoid the whole process 
Yet he continues...

How I do spiral to the depths of devastation,
self involved and opposed.
Coiled up as a serpent eager to shed
what was once a smile behind closed doors.
On the other side I lie vulnerable…
Desperate to impress,
caress what...

I see a world out there that can be so brilliant.
But this world frightens me...its changing so fast.
A world of violence and hatred...against each other.
This isn't like where I came from...a world so different.

Here we're...

Narcissist is a word you learn
discover these people at every turn 
Self involved and lacking concern 
you’re the bridge they are the burn 

Think themselves more important 
skills they have dead or dormant 
Talk of...

We started to grow apart long before the current rift
It wasn't personal, but necessary if you read & get the gist
We were closer than a pair of lips long before I met betrayal's kiss
I took...

The truth is that people think I am the best listener in the world.
I have mastered the face and the expressions of the most interested.
I can toss out the best impression of a person who...

are we crazy or just contrived 
lazy or simply self-involved? 
are we insignificant, significant 
or just like everyone else 
deranged on the outside 
swimming through dead oceans in our heads

The world is what we make it, so let’s make it grand and gold, and glorious.
The universe smiles upon those who send it love, so let’s do that.
My own sweet soul is whispering stuff, but...

I see you hurt
And there's nothing I can do
Oblivious and self involved
Yet aware of the pain i'm causing you
 
Because I am the villain
Because I am the bad guy
So wrapped up in my own agenda
Knowing...

INSIGHTS
recalled
 words
  hollowing
out a memory
 in a   trompe l’œil
of
a
disparate
 miscellany
held
aloft&
framed
in view

a living
collage
ongoing
carefree
 &
literally
 done,

looking out
from
a study in
irreverence
 re-imagined
&
half-present
self-involved
serious
purposed

in

a
visual game
so smooth

a
grand thesis
of
intrigue
  or statement
of
 continuous
imagination

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making...

What struck me was your urbanity… which I now see as social profanity.

Our first meeting you filled the room with intellectual vitality
You carried on about substance and morality 
You had such a distinct alluring mentality

Sometimes... perhaps other time
I am here and everywhere
To mean I am here but you cannot find
The one me in moments unlikely to bear

Someone called it self-involved
Yet... I'm pretty much everywhere else
Can I call it self-resolved?
Simply......

In the daily scheme of days
Where fit and bold survive
Solitude is one’s chief intent
In our plan to stay alive

People often find themselves
Apart and separated
Aloof and almost all alone
Their link with life negated

They are in a...

Yeah you are so unique,
Walking down the street oblivious of you conceited stench, 
Different you say, irreproducible, pish posh, 
You walk with self entitlement,
 Loathing the people on the street begging for change,
Cynical of there...

You say you remember, you understand.
But be honest, you don’t. How could you?
Looking back is hardly the same as looking from-
Remembering isn’t the same as experiencing.

Each year gives you wisdom, experience, growth.
You are never what...
