Short story:
Why worry?


Just query:
Quite bluntly.


Word briskly:
Weird story.


And maybe:
Feel mildly.

I once met a monkey,
the monkeys name was Humphrey.
Humphrey did confront me,
he did it bold and bluntly.
What happend next I haven't a clue.... the grumpy monkey thumped me....

A haughty guy, closing his eyes,
Thinks that he is very wise.
Building castles in the skies,
After false prestige, he flies.
Advice of others he bluntly defies,
As a man of half knowledge, he dies.

many a foot in month 
statement uttered  
wish that they could 
be taken back but 
they never can be 
many an unintentional
tactless remark were
thoughtlessly 
abruptly bluntly 
blurted out during 
unchecked moments 
of Freudian slips of the 
tongue...

Gurgling grunts 
Help the pretty flowers grow 
Babbling bluntly my mystical muse 
Is easily confused 
Pretty smells I do inhale 
Dream faeries up my nose 
To my brain attach a hose 
To drain my poems 
To and trow them
Into a field of rainbows 
They go

To those, regardless of political affiliation or party, personal or religious philosophy, or gender or orientation, or ethnicity who are fake or phony. To say it bluntly, " I would rather spend time with a wh-re instead of a bore. The former has more character, most likely....

All my shadows fall
into the summer
My berry kissed lips
call you

We fall so hard
when winter returns
My red eyes cry
for you

A cushioned blow came
on autumn ground
My mind tried to
forget you

Last rites bluntly read
upon spring's bed
I will not live
without you...

There's poverty they'll say
when someone staggers drunkly.
There's poverty today
when someone dresses shuntly.

There's poverty we'll say
when someone gathers junkly.
There's poverty all say
when someone bothers bluntly.

Where's poverty I say
when someone rushes juntly.
There's poverty I'll say
when someone brushes wantly....

Hiding a face from darkness,
Draped in self-pity.
Evil cells trap your body ---
As nightmares pounce sleep.
Though winking stars invite hope
You question the gods.
Long tresses now cut bluntly
Veil covers shaved head,
Glorious the crowning of your vulnerable face

Dismay that I am so blithely uncouth
As to bluntly say what is on my mind,
So, I shall blame the stale vermouth.
Dismay that I am so bitterly uncouth
To go through life with this sad truth,
It is necessary, I admit, for me to find
Dismay that I am so blithely uncouth,
As to bluntly say what is on my mind.

At times when I'd go crazy,  I would write about things. I would carefully and bluntly describe the world through my mad eyes. Then when the craze subsides,  when my mind's at a normal pace I read those words again and again and again. When you've read it enough times,  it stops making sense. Then,  maybe I can forget hate and see myself through the lines....

Simple is not vain
Succinct said most plain


Bluntly paid in pain
Will joy come again?


A deep cut bleeds blood
Rush of a red flood


Pain tells not so plain
Cuts against the grain


How can soul emerge
From the stabs that surge?


Can pain go away
As I turn to play?


Succinct tears in vain
Loiter with more pain

Knowest thou, how one 'n all  loves his country 
Is ac·knowl·edged as "patriotism" bluntly
It is influential to recognize
That tis' is a virtue to pa·tron·ize
Lord of free men's salvation
Bless thou our nation

May the TRUMPETS sound
In a spirit of truth found
Shall make all evil flee
Establish goodness in the land of da' free
For all eternity
God Bless our America a·bun·dant·ly...

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."

I the one, the one with 
the voice, the voice of 
reason, 
the voice of misleading 
thoughts and sinful acts 
and deceiving 
minipultive words. In 
truth alone I bluntly 
state and hurt the 
hearts
of others and in truth 
alone I deceive the ones 
whom in trust we are 
formed. 
I the one the one of 
caos, 
I the one without 
reason or guilt. 
Don't ask my name for I 
might lie....

Listen to poem:

you’re walking on the edge of time
careful not to step outside the lines
you try to stay within the confines of what’s safe
avoiding rain at any cost to not get wet

some day you might decide to take a risk
and show me bluntly how you truly feel
out from behind the guiles and masquerade
do away with the many veils and false charades

Look for love in your heart
I'm leaving you with:
Someday you will recognize
Some breakups are doomed.

Today I can be an unfulfilled poet
Snoring and heartlessness
alike star at night
without its dense knots
Even if it is a short iteration,
bouncing over time and space
It will only be a matter of perception
to see and be seen
To appear to be bluntly clear.

I came to earth to do my things
Like an angel with broken wings

I miss everlasting bliss so much
I long for paradise and God’s touch

I talk of harmony and peace
But it seems war will never cease

I bluntly speak for the weak and poor
So I lose access to other’s door

Hate and bloodshed across the globe
Stain my soul’s precious spotless robe

God give us what most of us miss
God give me the key to world peace...

Sometimes in my room,

in the middle of the night,

when darkness loom,

lit at the corner a dimming light,

glowing with all its might,

a score of thoughts raging in my mind,

as i hold on to my bed tight,

screaming from within, i gather to think,

as i stare bluntly out of the window pane,

"what is that i dreamt would be,

and what it finally became of me,"
 and the clock on the wall..

ran fast as it may,

as i woke up to another new day !...

See if I can see
What's in it for me?


Emotive feel knows
How pain triggers flow


Feel moves bluntly blind
Leaping wordplay finds


Prompt word pattern slots
Verse in brisk crisp lot


Thought motifs align
Lyrics in proud bind


Ink strains on paper
Rhymes now murmur


Words on a wild stretch
Can meaning now catch?


Cursive writes hazard
Tempest and blizzard


Up until now I
Lived upon a sigh

In drinking star juice, 
we internal light the fires within
We taffy twist and tug and spin
the wings of self elation
We bluntly burn each ventricle
and cauterize our lungs until
each tendril of our core is skin invading
And when the juice of stars ignites
we dance the dance and fight the fight
with solar flares to shoot our mouths
to moons yet undiscovered
It's in this moment we depart
and shatter long before we start
to lick elixir from the sky
in lunar inspiration....

Bluntly, someone said
they could never imagine
my being married.
This stung.
I laughed.
I am more
a comic
than
a romantic.
Pain is preferably felt
without witness;
better yet,
with punchlines.
Those precious people
who cry amongst us are more
genuine,
pitiable,
deserving of yet more
labors of love.
We mustn't blame ourselves
for this; we are
pathetic souls,
and I am
fine with it.
After all, my spouse
is already
my sense of humor....
