Premium Member Checking Out of School In 2020

I wear my ugly sky glue paper because of the work mandate
It reminds no one of a pretty summer or spring day believe me
Warm sweat droplets under my nose slide into my mouth
I have been capsulated into a self-imposed mini sauna

Hot vibrant blue wrinkled latex-free gloves suppress my hands
Making no easy task of the things I have to do to get checked out
This is May eighteenth of twenty twenty, in full swing of pandemic panic.
This school check out for the summer is surreal; a nightmare 

Fog steams up my glasses as I take a deep warm foggy breath.
Not seeing this mess is almost as terrific as seeing.
I put my head down and begin to work, packing up an office
I have not been to for over nine weeks; coronavirus be damned!


Premium Member Duck Cover

He pulls 
the eiderdown 
Over his skinny 
little head 
Flashbacks in his mind 
Of a nasty video 

One which scared him 
Almost out 
of his little mind 
If only he could rewind 
Starting back 
at the beginning 

Once such images 
Entered his tiny brain 
So hard to delete 
Over and over 
Turning the head 
outside in 

Beak opens wide 
Dabbing with nerves 
Like catching flies 
twitching with exhaustion 
Images floating 
in the mind 

Nodding off 
Awakens to nightmare 
Dreaming of justice 
The culprit is covering 
the tracks 

Eventually sleep falls 
Taking him 
to duck heaven 
Were he has 
a duck banquet 
Famous ducks 
from all over 
the world 
Dreaming in royal dreams 

smiling asleep 
In the morning sun 
Enters his room 
streams of light 
Awakening jumps 
out of his skin 

Flash backs 
hoping the culprit 
is nailed 
To get his shot 
at court 
Were he will 
answer questions 
On morality 

No more 
Mr.. Nice duck 
Brings out 
deep within 
The bad and ugly side 
Of his soft makeup 

Second thoughts 
Just be himself 
Stand firm and be counted 
Like a legionnaire 
In the desert 

Caught in sandstorms 
When the sand settles 
This duck 
will brew 
the mother 
Of all storms 

Sweet roaring thunder 
he will strike 
see who cries 
over spilled 
milk then

Her Smile Is a Part of Me

Her smile is a part of me
I have been in depression 
All this long while 
I have been so lonely
All this time 
I have been waiting
all this while 
I have been so patient 
All this season 
Until you came across my way 
with those smiles of yours
Oh what a light 
Oh what a smile 
Baby you killing me softly

Her smile is a part of me
I have been on a long search
All this days
Alot girls along the way i have meet
This time past 
None is bright as you
I have been on doubt 
All this period 
Now you bring a smile 
From your smiles to my ugly face
Your humour makes me feel safe 
I once needed an emergency now you are my medication 

Her smile is a part of me 
The night is short 
When you lay by my side
The day is sweet 
when i listen to your voice
You always know the key tone to my joy 
So i swear to always be your happiness
Everytime you smile 
I feel so blessed
Everytime you speak i
 feel you so deep 
i see am in to you 
As you are in my heart

Her smile is a part of me
No you no smile
No you no joy 
No you no happiness
For i have been in depression 
All this long while
I have been so lonely 
All this time 
I have been waiting 
All this while
I have been patient 
All this season 
Until you bless my soul 
With your smiles
And now i have a reason
To smile forever

Premium Member Pretty Ugly

I am very ugly
so don't try to convince me that
I am a very beautiful person
because at the end of the day
I hate myself in every single way
and I'm not going to lie to myself by saying
there is beauty inside of me that matters
so rest assured I will remind myself
that I am a worthless, terrible person
and nothing you say will make me believe
I still deserve love
because no matter what
I am not good enough to be loved
and I am in no position to believe that
beauty does exist within me
because whenever I look in a mirror I always think
am I as ugly as people say?

Now read from the bottom up.

Premium Member Red Rag To the Bull Says

Each of us is given a mission by God that's deemed essential 
one is protecting the rights of the most vulnerable in society 
when society socially tramples on these virtues removing values 
we have the authority from the bowels of the Word to act 

Marching and praying for the abomination against Justice to end and stop 
where law and order is breaking down corrupted by vice 
standing up for something we do not fall for the deceit
life is short its easier to stand for something good rather than bad
 
We are all given gifts mere mortals if we use them wisely we will get more 
peace and harmony needs to be restored rather than conflict 
the quality of one's soul can be seen in the vice they support
a moment of mindfulness can focus on something greater called the truth

Figure this one out when brought to the light of transparency 
demonising demonstrators gets the desired effect pushing ugly narrative 
They want to shut down all opposition that will overthrow this system of ruling 
because they have gone so far left they can't return to what is normal 

At what stage do we say enough of this nonsense 
we are heading on the wrong path 
to be honest I do not recognise this world anymore 
it's gone so ugly and loveless turning against Holiness 

This is what happens those hypnotised by this mass global deceit 
Many will wish they lived their life free from these hardships
because the slaves are those that submit to worldly powers 
and most of them are afraid to own up taking the wrong side 

So the argument is between nothing trying to make something stick


Champagne Heights

There's no heaven above me 
and this world's trying to bring me down
Thinking what goes, will come back round
But there seems to be no heaven above me 
And the worlds getting ugly
I'm searching for comfort 
but your arms, they don't want to hug me
I guess there's no heaven above me 

Sitting still in this storm, Calm, and i can't breathe
Running homeless for days and I miss Autumns leaves
Vacant are my tears But i can't breathe
Rain falls from my eyes But i won't leave

Take me to a place Where i can live
Flowers no longer growbecause man can't give
At the bus stop But i won't turn
My patience's fatigued But i won't learn

I believe in me and i believe in you 
i believe we hold the truth and it will see us through
Crystals no longer shine for champagne is trust
When it's all said and done, again i'll see your dust

There's no heaven above me 
and this world's trying to bring me down
Thinking what goes, will come back round
But there seems to be no heaven above me 
And the worlds getting ugly
I'm searching for comfort 
but your arms won't hug me
I guess there's no heaven above me 


"Sometimes we go through things 
and there seems to be no end in site, 
Smile, because there could be"

angels, demons, bad luck & Champagne

Night In Lisbon

Night in Lisbon 

Once, I went to a dance hall in Lisbon
 an awful place full of desperate middle-aged women
hoping to catch a man, any man.

Ah, for the horrible colours looking putrid on the wall
Was the music supplied by a jukebox when
the accordion was too drunk to play

Scrawny women of the night sat around the dance
floor trying to look sophisticated smoking cigarettes
laughing loudly like ugly sisters

Ogling men’s mid-part while showing spindly legs
meant, I think, to look enticing but only succeeded
In appearing like stick insects

Once these women had been beauties, attracted 
to men in suits; many divorces later and partying
time had taken a heavy toll.

Lonely women, chasing what once was, the youth
consorting with contemptible men who feared
being alone on a night when truth spoke piercingly

Premium Member Wild Woman Campfire

The ominous presence of something evil that was felt but not eye-seen brought a presage of doom to the already spooky-feeling bonfire in the woods.

The campfire which had been glowing and popping and snorting oranges and yellows, was rapidly turning into an ugly, smudgy gray and black mess.

My friends’ faces were starting to look creepy, lit only by the silly jack-o-lantern light up necklaces Linda had purchased at the Dollar Store on her way to the forest.

I have a weird feeling, Marcia said.
I don’t! Linda promptly yelled.
The rest of us giggled, nervously.  I glanced behind me, expecting a werewolf, keeping
Silent, afraid fear could draw the mysterious “it” closer.

We sat in silence, listening to the last pops of the fire, staring, conversation at a standstill. Things that we had been hyena-laughing about a few hours ago, had faded from my memory now.   I was feeling
tired, and when I get that way, I sometimes get mean, so I wisely shut my cookie-hole.  I wished they were going home, but I was the one who had invited them to sleep in tents with me, so it was my fault they were staying.

Things felt somber, cold.
Jacque was the first to make her way to the pup tent with our sleeping bags, which I hoped
Did not have any snakes in them yet.

Linda and  Marcia told her good-night.
I had a weird feeling, so I jumped up just as Jacque reached the tent.  “Wait!” I said.
Everyone laughed, as this was so like me.
The next morning, when Jacque could not be wakened, they looked at me with suspicion, like I was the cause.

It was our last campfire.

No Silence In the Pauses

Listen
Listen to my ugly words
as they scratch upon your eyes
Searching for the truth in my world of lies
Beauty springing tears from this false facade
Love hidden in the hearts
of the brokenhearted
Spitting thoughts from within
to ease the congestion
Sickly slick i take a trip
Trying to lie to cover future lies
Forensically analyse my evasive murder
and accuse the accusations
Your world has broke my all
No one left to call
Upon the traces damning my existence
Listen just beyond my words
No silence in the pauses
Another joins my chorus
As we stand alone and sing
such similar verses
underneath the curses

Whats Your Problem With Me

You all have to excuse me a minute, for I have to vent
 Due to the fact of someone's ugly little comments
 Asking me how I get all this time to write! shouldn’t I be at work?
 Well unfortunately a few years back, I got seriously hurt
 Sure I would love to have something to do, or somewhere to go everyday
 But I’m somewhat how you put it, disabled as they say 
 And I don’t see where it’s your business that I must justify myself
 How is it what I do affect you or anyone else
 So what you think I should be doing something for a man of my age
 If it bothers you that bad then why are you on my page 
 Trust me in my life this is not where I would rather be 
 Life dealt me this fate of disability 
 So why again is my life cause harm to you 
 My house is paid for my land and cars are too
 My wife works full time and goes to school
 My kids are full grown and doing whatever it is that they do 
 So tell me again why is my life such a problem to you 
 I see you read what I write almost everyday 
 And always have some very ugly things to say 
 For your information I write because this is what I choose to do
 As a matter of fact I’ve written a book or two 
 Now if I have written anything in the pass to bother you at all 
 Then why is ti everyday you keep clicking on my wall
 So what if what I write hit home , I think you still read because you be needing it
cause for some reason you keep clicking on and you keep reading it
