NEITHER LUCID NOR BLURRED
Surrounded by immortal elders at the at the door to heaven I hear a voice of silence whispering in a solemnly tone. That we have been blinded by the aesthetic fallacy Planted hemlock leading to eternal mortal as a price A warning from moses' will be witnessed before it's time to rise I'm traumatic and terrified, I close my...

Neither Presumption Nor Despair
We can’t make all the bad things good Just knowing all that didn’t should We can’t wish what stays real away Or lie to keep the truth at bay Yesterday today tomorrow yield The leavened ‘Word’ forever sealed Ad infinitum minus one Salvation’s path — is zero sum (Sister Marcella: 8th Grade Religion Class, 1962) ...

neither cleanliness nor godliness do I abide
neither cleanliness nor godliness do I abide rather yours truly doth thrive on keeping the ethos, mythos, and pathos of Pigpen alive subjected to eternal abomination, brutalization, condemnation, damnation, emasculation, humiliation, ostracization, who one day envisions himself as a decrepit solitudinarian an aging long haired baby boomer, (I seriously contemplate donating about a dozen inches of straggly hair to locks of love, hoping a stylist makes house calls - since...

Neither Here Nor There
Everyone laughs and everyone cries, But then when it's time to say their goodbyes, Nobody wants to nobody’s ready. Nobody told them they’d have to already. Come on now, time to say your goodbyes. Everyone comes and everyone goes, But nobody knows how much pain really shows When somebody leaves them alone in the shadows Cold and dark and dazed. Come on now, time...

Neither Insecure Nor Arrogant
Neither insecure nor arrogant, A balance that’s hard to maintain, But with effort and reflection, This path can be forged and sustained. Insecurity can consume us, A monster that eats away our core, We doubt ourselves and our abilities, And fear rejection at every door. But arrogance is not the answer, It’s a shield we put up to hide, Our own doubts and insecurities, And to...

Not Stabbed Neither Poisoned Nor Sick
He was clamored dead! Without being stabbed, Without being poisoned, Without being sick: The angels' arch summoned him To see the Heavens and Hell And samples of judging the just and the unjust. He was diabolical in deeds! Defining himself to be the Sun that shines The comments proved he deserved such a decampment. “Sing! the snob who did us turpitude has travelled," they...

Premium Member Neither Silent Nor Still
** Neither Silent Nor Still ** With you…by you…in you Lord, I never found silence To be stillness. With you, silence is elevating, escalating, Eternally An ongoing current — a soundless ocean With an unending Roll-over of crested waves, But silent with the pulse of my soul. In silence I found The heart of God, but Therein God heard The Voice...

Please do not pretend....

Premium Member Neither Loud Nor Proud
You can’t hold your breath and say see you later So as they got out they stayed silent When I let one loose in the elevator And it was both silent and violent The chocolates are melting, the flowers are wilting From my trouser pockets there’s steam And that’s why I prayed that the lady who’d stayed Was always that odd...

Premium Member Neither Rhyme Nor Reason
To some fears there's neither rhyme nor reason No remedy or cure, nor age or season A phone (call for a date) can weigh 1,000 pounds A weather-beaten house, the haunt of eerie sounds A request to speak impromptu can the stomach upset A severe case of butterflies one can get Some folks suffer from...

Neither Black Nor White David J Walker Neither chimeric nor recondite The world remains the world In either black or white In neither phase of reds nor grays Or esoteric plight As one by one The caprician conjurations Take to flight The world is neither Black nor white...
