Short Assaulted Poems

   Assaulted by waves of profanity
     high tides of depravity

   Bestrewn, shards of urbanity
     ~ flotsam of humanity...

pungent skunk like smell
my nose feels assaulted
eyes quickly water
horrible stench makes me wail
i quickly see Bambi's friend...

Last week I was assaulted by the boss
Self-employed, I was probably into the sauce
Whatta ham I am
As serious as I can
No need for the cops, just got some minor flaws...

I once knew a poet named Andrea.

Assaulted by someone’s hysteria,

she wouldn’t engage,

but feeling some rage,

she fought all night long with insomnia.


(It's kinda true!!!)...

Violated as one
viciously assaulted
via someone else’s
violent angry actions
varying in depth of 
various cruelty
vainly perpetrated.

The peep of morning's winking light
Woke the rooster's sour and tart crowing musical assault
He assaulted my senses until they will be heard
"up you lazy body"
Arise and greet the sleeping mongrel...
His fleas beg to be fed!...

Political verses

They came and looked.
Assaulted the dwellers
We preferred blindness

The winner robs all
Apartheid normalized
Slowly we see horror

They murder the holly.
That insists on surviving. 
The pure outpace evil....

How did this happen?
Only a year ago...
Laughing, loving, living.  Sudden
Occupation by men with evil intent.
Cast into boxcars like animals. 
Assaulted and beaten by soldiers.
Unable to stand, to move, to  think.
Selection.
Time ends....

Americans lifted their picket
When Cuba proved they can't lick it
The bureaucrats came
And went back home lame
The Yanks just can't tolerate cricket!*

*Research concluded American diplomats
were assaulted by Cuban crickets rather than a sonic
bombardment. ...

Asleep, it seemed, on lonely stretch of beach,
wearing toddler’s clothes, life just out of reach;
wretched photo destined to win many awards
while families assaulted by hatred’s petards,
many villains here caused this sorrowed fate,
pinned by vicious manifestations of human hate....

With Biden and Xi hand in hand
Fentanyl precursors are banned
What’s the surprise
As costs of a high rise?
The incentive for crime will expand!

Author’s note: I expect many more of us will be burglarized, robbed, and assaulted. What’s the harm in focusing on treating addiction?

The scales read a  destiny .
 Couldn't infer if it assembled wreckage.

Living is dying.
Love is still assaulted in those wooden beds

Ecstasy emanates from  grotesque faiths.
They define and lie .
Revere the paradox and feed the lust
nothing exist ..
Ahead lies everything in shambles....

An Alliigator's Fine Final Finale
A fairy fractured forever alleged an assault from former friend
Frenzied and angry, fairy father argued at fairy’s arraignment
Forever fractured, assaulted fearless fairy fought friend’s aliases.
Alligator allegedly assaulted former friend, as a fine final finale....

Listen to poem:

Fish dewatered delicious
is sucked dry with salt 
its flesh assaulted
rung out, and dried stark stiff.

Wishes like fishes rise in expectation
that hopes and dreams will flourish
but knock-backs, rebuffs and rejections
desiccate dreams with onslaught of salt,
shrivelling wishes, wizen to salt wish....

Stuck in the middle
of a pandemic crisis
broken
in a time
of do or die
all I think is 
your deep blue eyes
and your killing
heavenly smile...

You are 
my last stop on earth
where the flowers of hope
blossom in full
in a place assaulted
from a pandemic virus
in a world
harrowingly beautiful......

waterside vigil
buffalo nears water hole
lions crouch low nearby

three-pronged ambuscade
buffalo calf culled from herd
swift pincer attack

quarried prey springs forth
stressed calf serpentines about
lead lion cuts angle

driven toward snare
flanks assaulted from both sides
vise tightened prey clasped...

taken from home
as young as the age of five
told you don't have a name no more
and your parents aren't alive
flogged and whipped
abused and assaulted 
attempts of escape
then years of trauma resulted
changed the way you spoke
being black was a ban
then they question why
you have a hatred
for the white man...

Lady Day -
In love with you I fell!
After devouring Strange Fruit
Your personal interminable hell -
On stage, ending of every performance,
You cried,
Because it assaulted you
Profoundly inside.
Beautiful Lady -
You should be crowned
For your illustrious voice,
Treasure unbound.


Inspired by Billie Holiday.

Time passed rapidly
Crime rate is increasing
as time pass

Sexually assaulted case
Increases
but nobody is ready 
to take action

Today one girl suffer
Tomorrow we may be one

Support each and every girl 
to take action
So, we can be safe in future

Let's be united
to solve the problems
to bring happiness in future......

I count the hours

as I welcome the pelt of rain

harmoniously thumping and splattering against the

melancholic chug-chug screech of the train

10 hours

of not being assaulted by your words

hours devoid of your loudness

yet my heart is screaming, banging, drumming

10 piercing hours

time does not escape your noise...

Assaulted by man and machine,
Intertwining branches of pristine woods
Form a brave barrier.

A paved path,
Line of demarcation,
Divides Nature from civilization.

The truce is uneasy;
The detritus of man
Encroaches upon the boundary.

Thus man defiles the very sanctuary
He spiritually needs,
Diminishing himself in the eyes of the gods....

People are dying everyday 
There is a war on ukraine 
A genocide in the middle east 
A grandma died her dog died too 
No one knew in 6 months it was on the news 
And children are trafficked, killed by goons 
Some are assaulted raped then discarded
My girlfriend left if feels bad too 
but what kills me everyday 
Is my dog will die one day too...

Feel the compression rising
on my combusting engine,
like a turbo button pressed
by the current happening.

The brain then fireworks
into chaotic overdrive,
kick that drops me almost
face down on rushing ground.

In that split of a second
that lasts a horrid century,
I force back the reins.

Focusing this flood of energy
into the eminent task ahead
that assaulted my head....

She'd been lying on the table for some time  
crumbled from being assaulted in a crime      
The odor she issued had turned quite rank
Some would bluntly say, "Gawd, she stank!"

When her veins turned a gross shade of  blue
I knew I had to keep her away from my fondue
"Waiter, please find me another table or booth
Ruined is my appetite for cheese and vermouth."


~Not contest bound~...

I was assaulted last night,
sleepless gray hands
attached to an insane mind
kept me on the edge
of delirium.
Mind attacks are never real
but when the dark hours
cling to you like spiders
you follow those crazy thoughts
believing it is you who thinks them
but it is the spiders, the
neuronal web-weaving spiders
that talk and talk and talk
as they walk up and down
your cringing spine....
