Premium Member Screw Job
My old friend who is a diabetic
Decided to become an ascetic
  Denies himself pleasure
  Even in small measure
Can't even screw himself ~ How pathetic!...

Premium Member In His Flowing Robes
Preaching repentance in his flowing robes
    Abstinence from that which stains the soul

  The ascetic slumped forward, face downcast
    Neglecting his body, he'd breathed his last...

Long, Lost Coast
A feeling,
unbearable calls–
toward its trumpets 
I do fall,
aware but undefined, 
long, lost winding coast–
I come, then settle in
alone again,
Siddhartha's son,
the ascetic life begins....

Herald Hermit's Alphabets
Ascetic brothers continue dedicating eternal feathers: godliness , humane, 
integrated justice. Kinetic lovers misconstrue navigating oedipal pleasures, 
querulous remaining separated trust-less...Understand vicissitudes where-by 
eXtracting your zen....

Steeleness Deadsilent
STEELENESS , dead silent

Ascetic
Broken Austerity 
Delusion
Copasetic in poverty
Mass-confusion
Pathetically unspoken
Orphaned 
Disparity 
Silent burial
Silent ceremony.

Premium Member Life Is For Pleasure
Life is for pleasure
  Who needs the pain
As you exit this world
  What have you gained

Keep your upper lip stiff
  Deny yourself fun --
You might as well be
  An ascetic or nun...

'Course at yon pearly gates
  There's this matter of sin
Epicurus cries 'til it hurts ~
   But he never gets in...

Friendly Zen Simple Things
"Friendly Zen Simple Things",
with a holy-underoot,
are the poems which divide
me from you.

Nietzche says a nihilism springs
from the death of God that can't
think value to any thing, save
a great void---MU(nothing) in
Budhist script.

But in our society it's turned an ascetic 
to casual flatulator ripping 
amidst a crowded room....

Ascetic Life
my rage is something else 
lives an ascetic life- pathetic
glances about space
taking time to choose-
erase- delude & replace. 
come to me on your knees
whispering quiet submissive
"please" tickling my fancy, 
covering me in wicked delight.
i refuse to stop you & our 
fight is a merging (collision) 
bloody bonds, bared teeth &
shared defeat....

Sad Remember
I didn't even want
this cold and sunny afternoon,
because I already expected rain
and a taciturn setting
to frame my soul
that restless visits the past,
just to see
that my anguish
have name and address,
if she still lives there,
in that apartment annoyingly ascetic, 
clean and white,
with her dragon mood
who suffers from heartburn
....

Searing Heat
An ascetic dies in a shoe
spilling blood.
A surreal moon
wants to investigate –

a sectarian divide of
fraudulent sky.
And you want to be buried
under rose petals –

courting controversies
to clean the polluted river.
A lifeboat was needed
to take you for a quiz –

singing national anthem.
Emblematic,
You were sharpening
your nails.

Premium Member The Vanity of Pleasure
My sweet sensations in the grind, 
To indulge my lot 
In idle or hot?! 
The tug of war ‘twixt body and mind. 

The two’ve been fighting tooth and nail, 
Their feud led to naught, 
Crass carnal soft spot - 
The pleasure’s pull has tipped the scale. 

Dear me! Exciting versus plain, 
My visceral thought, 
Ascetic, I’m not - 
I would take pleasure, don’t mind vain....

Premium Member Limerick: Once a Maneater Who Could Not Say No
Limerick: Once a Maneater who ne’er said “No!”

   for Ronald W. Hull, the Great Mentor-Commentator

[Made to measure and tailored to a very tight fit]

Once a woman who could ne’er say “No!”
Met Ascetic: “Why?” he wanted to know.
Said she: “I’m no Vegan;
Meat I munch by the dozen.”
Priapic rigor mortis ensued: O! Woe!

Jobless Failure I Am - 02
How humorous life is
Failure loves my career
I’m ascetic of it
As if in-out of me
For the futile practice
Jobless vagabond still

I run on the path
The competition
Merciless study
Within all efforts
But failure chuckles

From far unknown
Failure shoots me
On bed of thorns
Frustration sucks

Interview
Accident
In success

Failure
Defeats

Life!

Death and Life
Decidedly mortal
                               Erratic moment
                               Ascetic hour of all
                               Temporal movement
                               Honorable or not

                               Life supernatural vision
                               Intelligent state
                               Fabulous gift
                               Energy of Divine source...

Where Beauty Lives
Where beauty lies is foreign
A land not under feet
To one day travel, venture
To go there, for to meet
With hopes and aspirations
Of dreams, then, to come true
With beauty there, I’ll wander
Across the waters, blue

For there is all the passion
As two then grow to be
Like a flower in the garden
Grown, from one small seed
A blossoming of feelings
A bouquet of new rewards
A blessing of ascetic wonder
For two beings in accord...

Incremental Christians
Let's hear it for incremental Christians,
And ascetic vegetarians,
Hail the queen of heavens,
Blessings for us, a holy girl,
Roman around the world!
Well, she was born in the Roman world,
A good Jewish maid, it did transpire,
A faith healer in this very day,
No holy dilemmas for her today, 
Let's pray for lady luck, shines on us all,
Let's hope Armageddon does stall, 
One for ascetic vegetarians,
And for incremental Christians!...

Goalless Dreams-
Dreams after dreams
onto the embroidered sky
to dye your fainted heart

Dreams flap the wings of hopes
to your deepest sky of miscellaneous minds

All there
unseen, unspoken
like the ascetic wanderer
for bringing the peace on the flying wings of pigeons

All there are auspicious starting
but ending is esoteric

Oh the goalless dreams forgetting the roots
now seeking the ashes of Phoenix truths

Only Kiss Can Tell a Flute
A sculpted form looking so cute,
Only when kissed flatters as flute.

To him that knows not to play how,
Far better may sound an owl's hoot.

Metaphors thrown in for a wow,
A meter force-fitted in foot;

Or be it a classical cow
Dressed dandy, shaggy and hirsute,

Or an ascetic wearing jute,
Know this well  know it absolute--

If a man's musically mute,
How'd help even a finest lute?

So, should ye reap the finest fruit,
Go invest in its very root.
