when in the trash
I notice a flower
abandoned
equal to object,
abject......

Leaving me naked, disgraced, abject
tearful between those
who make love...

Her red  lips
ripe as apples in garden
almost killed men

but their hearts sang unknown songs
all the way home
in abject poverty...

In the inventory of misery, 
there are those who are proud
 of being worse than others...
 this is the most abject form
 of being proud!...

Abide thy time
Away with pressure
Abandon thy worries
Abate thy storm
Abject thy pride
Ablaze thy fire
Abode thy self
Absolute from redemption....

Sad
Does not
Begin to
Express my thoughts
Words fail to explain the emotion felt

The abject disappointment when the last 
Pistachio
Is but an 
Empty
Shell...

The home’s atmosphere, full of her obscenity
flashes more than often, her aging nudity
too late for a henna
ready to change? Nah nah!
sense of morality in abject poverty....

Terrorism,I venerate your abject cowardice
Preying on amiable,zealous souls' innocence
Your farfetched,timorous scheme to hide
Among aborigines and by pugnacious animosity abide....

When abject fear visits me
Puffs up like Simon Legree
Consciously yet so sweetly
Ignore myself completely

Select Animosity That is Abject

Trump selected animosity  that is abject;
On others wondered what was the effect;
Many did bother;
Mother and father;
In his own mind would be always correct.

so much beauty 
in this world 
that I must blink 
with astonishment
to hold back my tears.
If I could not blink 
I fear, sixty per cent 
of who I am, 
would leave me, 
in their abject eagerness 
to kiss the earth....

Abject truth
Heartfelt feelings
Not fully hidden
Painful eyes

Glancing away quickly
For fear others will see
Imagining compassion
Not always there

Painful eyes
Damage from years back
Not realizing 
We all are damaged

Every one of us...

CAT

A cat, unshy,
Will wander by
Eyeing with curiosity
The abject, bending,
Condescending
Object it perceives as me.
I bow and scrape
From knee to nape
Hoping to gain its amity,
But though I try
To win it, I
Know it still thinks 
The worst of me....

Your swollen red kissable lips
Abject sadness I see in your
cloud gray eyes

A swirl of energy
Koi spiral around you
keeping you safe

Woman of the pond
What are your secrets?
The pain is yours
To reveal or to keep 
to yourself

I will honor you either way....

His vibrations were so low
She felt herself falling into depth 
of abject darkness

Sequestered now in the
most diabolical feeling of dejection and despair

She loved him 
So she stayed

Until her light was extinguished
While waiting for one sign of
approval

Which she did not receive...

Gazing once more in the mirror,
feeling all the abject terror,
exiled from my restless sleep,
pondering my nightmares deep.
As to depression I descend,
upon my mind I do depend.
I wish my fear would go away,
I look outside and see today.
Within myself I'm playing chess
with my fear-Unconciousness...

Faith--


F   Fresh and free thought choices
A   Abject confessions feel voices
I    Individual wills wishes devoted
T   Testing freedom of speech chosen 
H   Hopeful anticipations insist Lord give me "faith"

when we fall prey to complacency 

and comfortably wallow in abject sloth, 
    
                   we suffocate motivation in its nascency. 

eschew apathy and inactivity; rise above both!

Sweet apocalyptic frailty
seeps from weary sighs

Punctuated words we love
or love-words we despise

Body-rocking self-hatred
that drags us from the light

Idealism, perfection
thieves that rape us in the night

Car wrecks and too much sex
things that make us feel

taint of success, abject failure
things that make us real...

Memories are all I have,
Intense and suffocating.
Churned out emotions needing salves
Healed, yet unrelenting

Abject surrender to your wiles
Embittered by time
Looming reminiscence of your smiles
Sealed in my mind

Anguishing on a future lost
Grieving over what once was, 
Agonizing at what it has cost
Remembering mem'ries of a distant past...

I woke up this morning
and my cat was crying

He must have been having
the same dream I was

Where I felt useless,
an abject failure

It's a familiar dream,
I know how it goes

And there's never
a happy ending

Those days have long
since passed for me

So, there's nothing left
to do, it seems

But to get up 
and feed the cat...

Some say she was always meant to be poor
She was born into abject poverty
By some strange quirk of talent … and luck
She became so renown
Everyone knows her
By her first name.

If, by some strange quirk of talent … or luck
You became so renown
That everyone knows
You by your first name
Would you forget us common folks
Who helped you along the way?...

A poem for fun
I laugh delightedly 
Because they all are

A poem cannot be
Anything else
Because patrons are gone

No one pays for poems
Poems are thoughts
Turned onto paper

By people who 
Know how to turn
Their brains 
Inside out

Poets
Not easily admitting it
due to the

Abject lack 
Of appreciation
And respect


My besties
My tribe
I love you so....

Sticky unlovable gold holds her captive next to her crystal ball
Her life is all about making money; everything else squelched.
She reads fortunes with a plastered smile, pretending she cares.
Keeping her abject sadness to herself, eager to return to her home
So she can drink her sorrows into oblivion after she hands her man the money
A life chosen by her parents, one she will leave gladly upon death....
