Shock absorbers don't help,
the axis is broken, the axels are crabbed,
forked up.
No garage can unflex the inflexible,
maintenance cannot be maintained.
Axially speaking, the world
and its billions of video artists
is off kilter.
Social influencers
have sold their souls to the godless
and by god, we are pissed
with just about nothing anymore.
"That's problematic,"
chorus all the blind owls.
When true love augment its speed in the marathon,
hate takes refuge into a catacomb.
Quote by poet
A person with love epic
Which is not lunatic,
polemic , problematic
and choleric.
It is sophistic and dogmatic in someone's
mystic eyes
But he calls it "classic."
A person with love epic
Which is not hectic,
periodic , myopic
and atopic.
It is genetic and folkloric in someone's
mystic eyes
But she calls it "medic."
problematic
persuasions
pragmatic
paid patrons
pharisees
put upons
power-ese
pros versus cons
one political persuasion
is discerned easily
when those pragmatic lies
purr like a pharisee.
do ends justify means?
perks hide from public eyes.
after months behind screens,
one feels he’s just been put-upon.

This is a new and different form of haiku that I came up with. A rhyming haiku with two stanzas. The first has a syllable count of 4,3,3,3,3,3,3,4 and the second has a syllable count of 8,6,6,6,6,6,6,8. Each stanza must also have a rhyming pattern. ...Charlie

tossing and
turning
all senses
blurring
words begin
slurring
engulfed in
a hue
she can't think
move or
anything

Let me love your imperfections
(That suggest I've chance to win.)
Makeup, jewels, fancy hairdos
Cover multitudes of sin,
Cleanliness the highest virtue
That I still aspire to reach.
All the rest need heavy lifting,
Something few men learn or teach!
Love me, though humility's not
Appellation I deserve.
Win your trust? My tombstone's shingle -
"Lonely heart - desires to serve!"

just Like That Problematic Systematic Lazy Earth Men ---
grease in the skillet
pancreas full of it?
yeah
just like that
pure as the white driven snow
when you got nowhere to go
yeah, yeah
just like that, just like that
ants on the ground in fall
work ever so harder than man
what is it that we won't understand
And are there lazy men in heaven
Scratch my back I'll scratch yours
Break my toys, and I'll break yours
Boys will be just boys
Where is the joy
just like that
apples falls off the tree
yeah
mosquitoes kisses me
Must be in love
Sucks up all my blood
yeah, yeah
just like that, just like that
perpetual motion detector
fell asleep listening to Ricky Nelson?
Scratch my back I'll scratch yours
Head lice and dandruff watch out for sure...
yeah, yeah
just like that, just like that
what is it that we won't understand
And are there lazy men in heaven
Problematic systematic lazy earth men
what is it that we won't understand

ON THE PROBLEMATIC WHORE:
walk away and don’t look
back, don’t pay for the same
show with the same ending.
walk away and don’t look back
and
don’t let the lips, top or
bottom destroy your timeline.
walk away and don’t look
back, check it all off, every
personality, every bit of
psychosis, every set of legs
and
every face they give you.
walk away and never return to
the same whore.
if you do though, !@#$ her
differently than you did
before.
use every whore and turn her
into a lesson for yourself.
last thing:
walk away and don’t look
back, the sun will rise, the
sun will set, cookie is cookie
and love will never clean up
a dirty ****.
no matter the love,
no matter the whore.
you hold your time on your
timeline like watches.
never let the whores wet your
arms.

Problematic Love
is it not better to become single
or be 3 in love like a tri-angle
love seems to be so problematic
instead of being so romantic
sometimes you want to give up
but love grows when you wake up
love seems to be a big problem
like the cold place of Bethlehem
sometimes Bae is full of pride
sometimes Bae things they hide
causing pain in heart and mind
peace is a big struggle to find
the same Bae makes you cry
the same Bae tells a big lie
is it love or now it is just lust
is it true love or it will not last
but still they say they love you
hard to believe whether it's true
but still love takes its own place
love sometimes is very hard race
so what really is this love
Drencho POET Loads.
As owls to oaks I know you,
in ancient springs,ravines and sunlit scenes,
persistently pushing passions and hushing lovings,
my immoratal instinct allowed to blossom in terrestrial precincts,
combined with you vulnerability is a prospect I render to the wicked,
salt is for sins, as sand is for sundown reparations,
with undefiled freedom wonders fly on winds
and no beast can deny my wins with you over fears by the years,
phobias of mean faces, painful places and shadows of my core crooked,
You are my star and I am your shine,
the mountains we climb, how strongly we do -
J.A.B.
