Short Acquitted Poems

Woke from a dream, wow whatta dream
Girls all around, couldn't control their screams
Kissed a couple
But was acquitted
Screamed bloody murder, or so it seemed...

A thought just occurred to me as I sit in my chair
What if peace suddenly broke out, what a bloody scare
No crimes committed
Those on trial are acquitted
We'll run around naked chanting “no more underwear!” ...

With each tick of the second hand
  the immeasurable on trial

Imagination deposed
  all parameters set free

The Poets acquitted
  the logicians suicidal

All reference and syntax
  —imploding at light speed

Great, truly great is he
Who at every turn finds himself
Loved by the prudent
Encouraged by the humble
Indicted by mediocrity
Trailed by the inquisitive
Hunted by the wicked
Prosecuted by the jealous
Judged by malice
Convicted by the lowly
Imprisoned by time
Acquitted by his own wisdom
Relieved by the passage of time
Sustained by the Almighty
And respected by all!...

It was like homecoming of
timber rattle snake.
A bit jarring.

Signs were acquitted,
when the summer becomes
sensuous at dusk.

I start collecting the colors
from sky. The night was
moving behind the moon-

like a concubine, in black
skirt. Amidst the gray clouds
a green man was laughing.

The death’s translation
was simple. Nobody will
attend the funeral of sun.

Shadow’s fingers
shred the cloak of midnight:
starry security for my fragile temple.

Shadow’s nails
incise the white porcelain of my neck 
with deepened lines of red.

Shadow’s palm
suffocates my breath
and muzzles the wailing cry.

Shadow’s eyes
bore holes into my secrecies
and widen them for ill use.

I’m acquitted only by the sun’s rays.
The fierce irony: handsome night betrays....

Not as rejection's standstill of define
thy purpose wasting has acquitted thine
still wasting ~ as with messaged intertwine
a fact is blown to another mind.

And I am blown away by sadness, mine 
eternal wasting is a pothole's fine,
no exit, no conviction, thee to time,
consistence only gathers smooth, while I'm

A'wasting with concession, wasting rhyme ~
If in thy heart, am wasting to divine!...

If only Glory was my story
 I'll be standing before you lying
For I am a wretched undone acquitted 
And born again 
A wretched sinner saved by grace 
Even though the world has slapped my face 
And in due respect I am relentless 
In my confession
 I am not client I am defiant 
Yet reliant 
Relying on the grace and mercies of God
Reluctant

An image of myself I stare
How you’ve grown, Oh how you’ve changed
Those Ideals you swung taunt me
You’re something pure and innocent  
Novel to the world and acquitted of its sin
While I am anchored in its seas
I stand abashed to say that I am you
Our eyes meet in only but retention
In this realm where you remain the same
While I am Soiled, I hold you dear
As a reflection that I may embody once again....

Vessel I am of the Lord
voices thanksgiving praise
victory from guilt's wrath
vanquished by love and grace...
verily acquitted
victim-sinner, now freed
vibrantly shouts, "Thank, God!" 
vowing to share blest hope*.

*Jeremiah 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

Dear Andrea

When we let it go, where to?
All of it or maybe only a few;
Perhaps you I have deceived
Nothing is left to be relieved.

So decided to have some fun
For President wanted to run
Way I was had been pathetic
Lazy, tired and not energetic.

One of Andrea's poems had read
Knows how to knock them dead
Her poem was not properly fitted
Of breaking rules had been acquitted.

Jim Horn

Actually it is about me and my poems.
Ho ho....

Incognito, I stand exposed.
Difficult days, of smooth sailing.
Completely baffled, I do know.
Happy endings, such tragedy.
Right or wrong, see no difference.
Great injustice, a fair outcome.
Crimes committed, yet acquitted.
Opposing theories, we think alike.
Time to go, let's stay awhile.
Sunny days, in dark of night.
Come to terms, in disagreement.
Willful blindness, I see it.
Peace on earth, by warring factions.
Democrats, ----- Republicans....

Donald J. Trump
Also known as a whiny, petulant grump
Should be indicted for crimes he’s committed
It’s hardly likely he could be acquitted.

Donald J. Trump
I suppose he’ll soon be hitting the stump
Anything to seize the headlines,
And avoid paying some hefty fines.

Donald J. Trump
Now much too large in the rump
Not fit to be president of the U.S.A.
I believe a vast majority feel that way!

What shall I do when I can not hide;
And the sheets that I lay on no longer I abide;
Awaken by the storms screaming thunders cry;
I rise

Where shall I go as I sleep my eyes closed wide;
My memory frozen as my brain is fried;
Awaken now my eyes open shut;
Tell tale stories as I pain as I hurt;

What shall I do now that I in reality;
And who will come to my aid the fatuity;
So much adulterated hatred;
No time to be convicted, for I stand acquitted;
I rise

I swallowed
Your decision
I’m leaving
The mansion
I accepted
The defeat
And I acquitted
All debts
I loved you too much, darling
Oh! You forgot everything.

The surprises
Of life
Are not sweet cherries
I’m leaving my heart
For peace
This is a required part
I depart
This evening.

Freedom
God-granted
Genuinely gracious
Through Christ’s ransom for my soul
Setting me free from sin's wages assuredly
Condemned not I to suffer eternal punishment.

Now acquitted to live by God’s wondrous grace
Forgiven* victoriously
Indeed heaven-bound
To serve Him
I should.
Cognizant of my divinely paid freedom, I lead others to God’s liberty.

*Romans 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
