Long Trivialize Poems

Give me a headache
The fury of a migraine
The pounding of temples
The powder keg sensation
Of explosion a minute away

Give me a tummy ache
The kind that makes you double up
Fist pounding the bed
Hands clutching sheets
Retching into a...

The poetry of a mad man
Emerging thoughts take a toll
There’s a fine line between madness
And a balanced mind that makes us whole

So am I crazy?
Is what I perceive real?
The only thing I really know
Is my...

NEVER FAIL IN LOVING YOURSELF
Fall, as many time as it takes
But never trivialize your soul like flakes.
You are no less than a fantasy;
In sooth you're as esoteric as a sea.
Keep it real for there's nothing...

"Dripping faucet
mocking all your tears
False hope upon hope
You've raised throughout
the years

Taped laughs
of a love so long ago
Broken by the breech
of death
Why, we'll never know

Those words once spoken-
Those words you do memorize
Reflect in the pain I...

At the great concession stand,
They hold back on souvenirs
Mostly, wet stuffed animals in the rain
They trivialize the culture
And submit to their careers
And raise the children to point the finger of blame
 
That’s why I carry...

You may withdraw yourself from others
Become quiescent or lackadaisical
Disrupt sleep or appetite alter
Feel sluggish or delirious

When the echoes of your parents'altercations
Rack up your eggshell mind
When you avoid people whose company 
You've typically rejoiced relishing

Yet you...

This year, sleeping spring refuses to rise
too long overdue but not a surprise
as the weak sun hidden in thick cloud lies
masked by stubborn mists in leaden grey skies
with temperatures way below normal highs

Lack of sunshine...

Friends, like candles, enable you to see
personal faults through sympathetic eyes;
and never flicker should you disagree.

Even subjected to the third degree
they're loyal, unwilling to compromise; 
friends, like candles, enable you to see.

Offering their unflinching friendship...

"A personal shout-out to our sponsors and their vapid articulations who made this message possible," ... by The Poet.

Poets and poetesses ascribe to a greater call, 
in their endeavors to make their chosen path a...

Amulet graced by gems
clad for stratum prow

tawny glyphs
margin of witticism

& quagmire

extravagant dictum
trivialize shores trails

summer ousted
& waves of wrangles

sundered the ocean 
& swapped my spirit

in crimson burst
swirl to scatter

In demolishing ruins 
& twilight crumble 
slump of man

glittering...

Every dog has its day
even the cactus will bloom one day
so try try try until you win
and one day, your life will begin

When the truth never prevails,
and the untruth fails to fail,
do believe, its just...

Overanalyze and criticize, demoralize and ostracize
  Modern pundits legitimize their vicious exercise

Scrutinize and standardize, compartmentalize and cannibalize
  Wizards of efficiency synchronize, initialize and circumcise

Demobilize and paralyze, stigmatize and de-humanize
  Westernized pols, their...

The bond that keeps extending
Like the waves that run the beach
Is way beyond what we pretend
Is just within our reach...

Reminding us we're not alone
When we need a hand
Will often be that second set
Of footprints in...

Why am I not allowed to vent my frustration, anger and annoyance at your incompetence?
Remain poised, you say.
Calm down, you say.
Don't be so passionate, you say.
Why can't I expose and tell you exactly how I...

Drivel and
snivel or
swivel the words
to trivialize
the lies
and semantic games
played in the names
of citizens like ... Joe.

Pronounce 
to pounce
and renounce
an opponent
in a smear word war waged
beneath our collective contempt.

Like the proverbial
snake with the pernicious
forked tongue,
they speak
to...
