Short Conforming Poems

Water from the well, you shall not draw
for the barbeque, you must use less straw
curiosity burns the sleeve
irrigation kills the olive
not conforming leaves the meal still raw...

I endeavor to confer essence
to my poems,
but the verses fly
non-conforming...
The rhymes don't fit together,
the words don't shine...
Today for sure, I don't tie
any poetry...!...

Here lies the whistling hollowed bones of lovebirds 
Entrenched in storm torn skylines
Set flight amidst torrents
Breaking body and soul
Failing to find the fervent love in them in others...

Pondering
Our true existence
Makes me realize that we are
Small pieces in the puzzle of life
Conforming to location
Yet, still important
Overall

Baggy elbow
Whisking a wow
Flapping & flopping
Constrained by conforming
With ambition

Baggy elbow
Blowing a bow
Swinging & swagging 
Hung from haggling
With normalcy

Baggy elbow
Trying a toe
Cracking & creaking
Tired from trusting
Itself...

Opponent of satan, 10 languages spoken
Attended a pontif, imperfect service; yet not token
Broke out of conforming of evils adorning
Claiming satan's enthronement; anti atonement'
An edifiying of confusion under skirts of illusions
In the 60s such took place, I note it a Diss-grace.!...

"Poker Face"

Oh!! Poker Face standing out in a crowd of disagreement..

"Poker Face"

Intelligent, clever, informed...

Wise in your high's and low's forever transforming but never conforming...

Look Up ...make your move using the motions and gesture's on your side...

Move "Poker Face"

I find myself a lot
staring at the space between
the air and everything.

Do you ever think
you're just another page
in a book not yet released-
depending on an unknown grace,
conforming to the beast?

Trying to find the role that suits you best
like the rest
a story never to be read
by human eyes
for our demise will mark The End....

I stay here and wonder,
why me slay mind wanders
in stray wild world meanders.

You confirming of your feelings,
clue conforming tha dealings
contrary to their meanings.

I'm left hurt in me heart,
with a cleft arm in me bossom
like fool, I lost my place with you,
wondering tha truth in tha remarks
From your treacherous mouth
I love you?...

Oh, witnessing to Earth, my love discover!...

retreats thy heritage, conforming as to bother.

in artful timing for thy state recover,

Oh witnessing to earth, my love discover!...

Require Responsible People

Require responsible people to be reliant;
Simultaneously conforming and compliant,
Would spurn;
Tables turn,
Then did discover each one was defiant.

Jim Horn 

Trump the moron has become a menace;
Truly terrible at playing therapeutic tennis;
Balls bouncing;
Republican pouncing;
Water flowed into court playing in Venice.

Dive into the water,
To taste the salty,
Life is much better,
With a little bit of sorrow,
The mind thinks faster,
With a little insanity,
The heart beats harder,
With a little anxiety,
My eyes see further,
It’s crystal clarity,
Not to live too long,
In a world of fantasy,
Love the mirror too much,
And you’ll fall into vanity,
Conforming for too long,
Took away my creativity....

October, the fall of the living
Disease feeds the trees
Summer burned out leaves falling dead colours
Now left macabre and acrimonious
The whispy chilled winds, and rusty dead leafs chatter.
For many a depressing and melancholy matter
Everything dying withering to nothing, non conforming
Dead dull lifeless and grey the true reality 
Times a change seasons bring truth....

There’s a price to pay
For not conforming to the mold
It won’t always be easy and
I won’t always mix in with the crowd
But I wouldn’t have it any other way

The price to pay is relatively small
For striving to be my own person
Craving to explore personal potential
Soaring to the heights of my ambition 
And following my unique dreams

Crafting illustrations of endless doubts,
Tirelessly exploring for those so-called peaceful where-abouts,

   Slowly illuminating those dark corners of paranoia,
Trembling as the shadows conspire into black-hearted Casanovas,

   Conforming to the consistent routine,
Abandoning yet another opportunity into the unchanging ravine,

   Idly watching the inevitable downfall to my sanity,
Questioning myself, "Or is this how I view Humanity?"...

silver is the metal lesser to gold
and even gold must behold
the even more precious metal platinum
and that is what i am, numb
when i am in your prescence
nervous and tense
since i hope for your voice to come out
i stand there hoping that you won't shout.
i am silver you are the platinum
that i have spent all my days 
conforming to your ways.
so that maybe i will get the chance
to get even a small glance
at the most precious of all....

Many shapes many dimensions,
weaving amidst the peaks and valleys
of one’s mind, those that correlate
strength and tenacity, when
conforming to the intense highway!
Many storms to weather,
many characteristics invoked,
formulated strengths
new-found weakness,
when delving within the abyss
of enlightenment!
Gateways to prise open enclosed minds,
shelter to guard against the
prevailing turbulence of ignorance!

Not Vaccinated?


Tony the spider is out to bite you!
Or, then again.. he may also cite you.

He knows if you have been hiding
and exercising your free rights!
And if you have, dear Patriot, he
will inflict a nasty, Marxist bite!

So get thee to a doctor, and be a
humble sheep! 
I, the whispering leader of the nation,
have spoken.

The Commander who respects only the
conforming sheep?

Society’s fiddle is at play
Guiding the moves of all numbed & crude
Hypnotizing & Enticing them in.
No more do we think in unique patterns;
But in synchronized, panic, greeded packs—
Our lives are one.
There is no "I think", but "We think."
Where has morality gone?
Does anyone know Right or Wrong?
Is Justification Good or Bad?
Is Excuse guiding Life’s reason?
Do we know ourselves
Or do we know
only Sight & Sound of Society’s Ballroom Gown?...

absorbing warmth from the flame
the crowd gathers, shivering
unaware of their actions

glazed eyes dance, transfixed
following the candle's flicker
moths collide and fall helplessly

bodies move breathlessly;
drawn away from the center
conforming to fill their shapes

they've never acted so alive
feeling light; one breath and
their flame is dispelled

the smoke hangs in the air, lazily
isolation tastes warmer
cuddling their darkened forms...

Who are you to say am bad
if what all my heart seek is good
who are you to tell how bad i am
if all you  pray is to turn good as i

go on ,you can and you should if you can't understand

i bet you think your better
as i do think sometimes
and feel you're self misunderstood 
as much as i do

if you can say my wrong 
while conforming you knew me well
and if you knew your wrongs 
and still shouts mine

you should go on, i want judge ,u have ur reasons...
