Long Unmanly Poems

Paradise
like Rome
is not built
and not rebuilt
and rebuilt
and redeveloped
and healed
and redeemed
in one 24-hour
cycle
and recycle
and revolving
round day v night,

And/or 
appreciatively regarding both day
and dualdark
rich and fertile 
souled and soiled
recycling night.

So too
my personal
and political
and economic
and ecological
and theologically reformed...

Donald John,
I'm troubled by how you describe
your detractors,
Those who stubbornly refuse to see you
as Earth's Messianic Protagonist
and Good WarMongering Business Guru.

For example?

Fake
Not quality
Coward
Elitist
Not Truly Elite
Poor
Traitor
Unclean
Unmanly
Jealous
Loser
Alien
Whiner
Cripple
Parasite
Not SuperElite
Need I go on?

No. Those sound familiar
as bullying words
used against...

Thine distorted reflection rippled 
within rain maker's pool 
   upon a midnight clear
full moonlight sonata 
   flooded shallow abyss, 
cleaved fractal structures of silence 
reverberating deathly hallow from 'ere
to infinity, whence...

I watched him shake his hand
And say a gruff goodbye
To his beloved grandson.
Old soldiers do not cry.

He fiercely rubbed his eyes
To stop unmanly tears
As he recalled that other war
From those now long past years.

If old...

How do I handle, the devastating cost?
Of innocent lives, that have heartbreakingly been lost!
I chose to defend, my country for you,
Now I have done, all I can possibly do.
I’ve seen atrocities, I’ve killed other men,
I’m...

By the shores of a lake, a true love was found.
Love's search now was over, a Queen she was crowned.
Life's promise re-awakened, love's rewards now awaited.
Glorious nights to share passions – That shall never be...

We filled our jar.
Our big, glass jar
on that shelf.

But it was never
meant to be big enough.

We made 5-star memories.
Rotten tomatoes were all over
our jar.

1st date:
Simple.
Movie & dinner.

Every other date:
Too cute for words.

We'd drive home 
through...

"long suffering," is one of the fruit
fruit of the Spirit, make no mistake;
it means patience, not just a mood
like a ruler that will never break.

Sometimes we have to exercise patience
when evil abounds aplenty;
if prayers said...

I wish I could cry
But tears will not fall 
In situations where they would apply 
Behind pride they would stall

I stood before my father at his wake
And my soul it forever changed
Still wetness on my...

a sight dark to the end in a state unmanly 
Friends with fake colours I'd left behind me

How hilarious is being born
with a highly sensitive nature;
this is unmanly and very rare
for someone seldom forlorn. 

If transformation took place on a public stage,
I would be an enraged marionette 
attached to strings that a...

Real men don't cry
or if they do they do it secretly
for crying is unmanly, only for sissies.

Machos don't show nothing
but their best front, faking everything!
don't ask me, that's just the way it is.

Tim Smith is an ordinary sounding name

But the Tim Smith I know is anything but ordinary

For a male to express love the way he does

In everything he writes

Is unique and truly a kind hearted soul

A Couplet about Tears
Written: by Miracle Man
6/22/2018

So tears oft become the prayer that I pray.

Forthwith, tears, begin descending with ease,
But I know, God’s heart, this doesn’t displease.

Joyous tears shed,...
