Malice Poems

Premium MemberThe Old Foot-In-The-Mouth Syndrome

People say the oddest things
not realizing their faux pas

Given the chance to self correct
they usually fail miserably

Is it malice or stupidity
~ unlikely we'll ever know

Unruly

If ever there was a time
To be thrown into a pit of sublime 
I would be on my way
But i can't, not today
I would rather think of malice and be unkind

All i need is an escape

Who knew you were an ammunition, 
A camouflage with a malice!
I'm still numb from the revelation
No matter how much I try 
I'm afraid that I might risk walking the path 
that killed all my dreams I'd reinforced spellbound by your lies!
I'm locked in your cellar 
For the crime of conviction
In the castle you built 
And

Premium MemberAlice from Dallas

There was a shyster from Dallas
whose lies were full of malice.
	He groped the wrong girl
	whose anger unfurled. 
So now, they call him Alice.

Premium MemberAbsinthe of Malice

La Fée Verte, Mistress of Wormwood, 
High Consort of la Belle Époque,
Shimmering with joie de vivre.
She’s holding court with bohemian charm,
All haute couture with feathers and furs,
Promising what fools believe.

One spends the night with mademoiselle
In bondage to her whims and mercies,
Content to be softly chained,
Then wakes up nude in the Paris Commune,
A subject of interest

Nearing the Chalice With Malice

Time for Holy Communion and chalice
Not one for Methuselah-old malice;
You ought to have dumped it at church entrance
To sought redemption give the fullest chance;
Holy Communion with spiritual police 
Watches the terribly upset Alice,
Who is right now doing an asked Lord’s Dance
With a rock of a heart and concealed lance.
We all can guess your lame consolation,
Times

Incubus

I felt his weight on top of me;
I tried to move and wriggle free.
He had me pinned I couldn’t breathe,
Too weak, I couldn’t help but seethe.

His face I could not see because
His hands pressed on my eyes like paws.
All I perceived was his dark form
As he his evil deed perform.

Hot tears welled up, flowed down

Malice In Underland

I'm scared to sleep, 'cause I'll slowly creep
Deeper & deeper into a frightening world
Where Alice is Malice & Wonderland is Underland
Where your nightmares come disgustingly alive
They'll claw your skin & tangle your hair
They'll scream & chase - they'll push & race
Just to have a reason to be in your face
The disgrace you'll feel, when it

Maga Malice

I long for the end of perverse MAGA malice
Led by the immoral, they are cold and callous
They have caused such disdain
Since Trump's menacing reign
While he sits inside his Mar A Lago palace

How daft the man to assume he owns everything
Documents and White House dishes he chose to sling
Ketchup thrown against the wall, 
Trumpty is ready

Premium MemberNo Malice Shown

See the owl in swift silent flight,
Surfing the darkness of the night,
In control of its black domain,
Its prey killed quick, no time for pain.

Don’t be outraged when its victim dies;
The owl’s not a mugger of the skies,
No malice shown when it hunts for meat,
It leaves alone what it cannot eat!

Sabine

A subpoena 
I send to you Sabine 
To the Court of Birds 
that see no frowns of malice 
nor recognise the curl of the lip 
The defence that must fall
from your patched Tongue 
skewered and faltering 
will no doubt wilt 
in the Misery of that injustice 
where you glance and 
Judgment be made 

Cursed is your nature
Your drowsy lids poisoning 
the Strangers that grace lowly beings
Your kohl sinks

With Much Malice Came Up With Callous

with my much malice
foot came up with a callous
from walking in palace

kayak did straddle
when I did fall from my saddle
broke my plastic paddle

had become sedate 
after I did find my fate
empty was my plate.

Raging Malice

……….gale force winds announce the doom
…………………..portent of a dark and deathly gloom
…………………………..a maddening shriek of raging wind
……………………….howling terror the frightening din
………….rips great trees from the ground
….tosses the structures all around
………….raging malice haunting fright
………………twister spinning in the night
……………………….darkened clouds surging
…………….wind and rain merging
…..funnel of mighty hell
..tolls the death knell
…………terrors bloody ride
…………………..nowhere to hide
…………spinning away
…….from all that
…………..used

Passing of Malice

Resigned and upset;
Upset but not forgotten
Forgotten, once more
