Looks To Deceive

A teardrop of joy
a teardrop of sorrow
Different in substance
different in kind
Flowing endemic
the scientist’s baffled
Their chemical compounds
— distinct and profound

Premium Member Listen

The World is full of music
Listen to the sounds

The world is full of knowledge and ignorance
Listen to the nouns and compounds

There a flash of lightning
There a human touch
There a subtle truth
Listen

The music may not last until tomorrow.

It Can Change

I cannot take the weight of life
As too much burden compounds the day
Bringing forth so very much strife
And leaving hearts in utter dismay
Yet, a wind of change can start anew
A life of hope, of granted dreams
Cover me then in winds wet dew
Allowing life to hopes and schemes

Premium Member Lie V.S. Truth

Once your lie is told,
covering tracks is needed.
Which leads to more lies.
The hurt caused by the first lie
compounds with the cover up.

Truth can be hard said.
But it stands up for itself.
Nothing else needed.
Truth can hurt when it's spoken.
A single word, that does heal.

Premium Member Picking Flowers

In the fields as she picks flowers
Beauty compounds within the scene
She holds them hearing their powers
In the fields she picks her flowers
They never did seem at all sour
Her soul holds them dear as she’s seen
In the fields as she picks flowers
Beauty compounds within the scene

Premium Member she always wins

Whoa! toxic compounds really flow
Who knew this Earth was not a ho?
When with her we toyed
Her life got destroyed
And oh no! we’ll reap what we sow

Humans are the planet’s riffraff 
Our trash ordains an epitaph
This green world seemed sweet
Now smashed and not neat
So who's not the wheat but the chaff?

Wisdom

WISDOM

When I was young my folly knew no bounds.
It has been said the border has extended.
Still, I confess my ignorance compounds
Delusion: thus I plead has been amended
On  premise of cognisance of my flaws
May I claim a touch of WISDOM as knowing cause

The master maker of exotic sandwiches is Dagwood Bumstead!

   Blondie (nee Boopadoop) views his masterpieces with dread!

      He compounds his concoctions with everything from anchovy to zucchini,

         And Bumstead could make them vanish faster than an illusion by Houdini!

Premium Member Element Earth


         Thin Crust, underneath Magma
            Earth's aroma.
          Solid mantle, Molten core
           Umber Earth contains ores,
          Elements, compounds,
            rocks, sand, clay,
               minerals play.
                  Life evolves
                  and dissolves.
               on Mother Earth.     .

Urgency

TIME TO ACT  ,TIME TO ACT
NATURE TURNING VIOLENT
SNIFFING STRANGE  COMPOUNDS
NOT  FAMILIAR  WITH AS  FROM  
CREATION.
CHANGING  FORM IN  DESPERATION
WANTING TO SURVIVE
FLOODS,DROUGHTS,MELTING ICE
MORE HEAT ARE THE RESULTS.
NATIONS UNDER WATER
LIVELIHOOD  DESTROYED
LOVE ONES DISAPPEAR 
DRAWN IN WATER , KILLED BY HUNGER
DEHYDRATED BY HEAT.

TIME TO ACT IS NOW , NO NATION 
WILL BE SAFE  .NATURE IS ANGRY
CLIMATE   IS   CHANGING

The Chosen

Whisper the death of many to come
How could you have known?
You only spoke to some
Only some were shown
Yet they saved themselves on that day
The rest, they perished alone
Were you forced by god to pray
You chose the righteous as you roamed
You had the power
You cast it aside
Caused many to cower 
Because of your pride
The failing that is you
Compounds now each time
There is now nothing you can do
What you did, an unforgivable crime

Life's Unfair

A system that pushes,
The boundary of memory,
Left me feeling useless,
With a future of drudgery,

Started off confused,
Not knowing a direct path,
Defeated and abused,
Sorted in the rough,

Initiative gathered as junctures passed,
Self-education, knowledge compounds,
Passion factored, failures do not last,
Reaching aspiration, a purpose profound,

Life follows no curriculum nor itinerary,
Perseverance and patience are life's best referee.

Humpback Whales At Sea


Clicks, whistles and pulsed calls
coming from whales you can't see 
Within the compounds, no walls 
only ocean water and Captain Lee 

Sonograms and ultrasounds, its a joy  
when whale voices are heard ! 
Binoculars views, soon they deploy 
leviathans swim without a word 

The echo returns not for they do run free  
always returning to their  summer grounds     
Into the womb of the deep blue sea
they go, to a place where they can't be found.

O Death

O Death, how can I not resent it that
Your dire rapacity admits no bounds?
With no appeal… unmoved, an autocrat
Whose cruelty every human ill compounds,
And in the end all final hope confounds.
That you must come for me upsets me less
Than something much the harder to address:
For every friend and loved-one that you take,
My grief is all too potent to express,
And far too adamant to ever shake.

Eject

Eject ~ The tithe be bound
to fanciful persuasion in resound
I hail or hate the cost, despite the pound
and seemingly ascension is still ground!

It is the faded glory of rebound
unnecessary casting, waging's crowned,
the monarchies direction still compounds
no force, this indiscretion turned around!

The gory resolution, not new found
and I in revolution, playbacks frowned
eject this erstwhile treason . . all abound ~
and register my reason . . . freedom's town!

Chemical Compounds

A Chemical Compound
in an orderly manner.
They're found on the ground,
classified by a scanner.

An outcrop in Costa-Rica -
many of these contain Silica.
Some are even Volcanic-
explosions are quite manic.

Its just like Me and You!
Special, Unique and some blue.
Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic too-
I've heard that before, like de-ja vu!

It is Sharp or Smooth,
It is like a Bone,
It can be found in a Booth,
But what really is STONE?

Female Cogitation

Listen to poem:
In conversation the sounds of her thinking astounds logic rebounds argument confounds rationale knows not bounds there's no reasoning with what she expounds or justification in that which she propounds when all facts fail and reality surrounds her point of view tho' it has zero grounds piled on in mounds with absurdity she compounds adding injury to insult my brain it impounds traps me wraps me saps my energy inducing mental lethargy causing total apathy
