Intoxicated

I have fondled and drowned in a toxic contortion,
I know not whether to drink it or spill it,
I know not, whether to swallow it or to spit it,
I know, it is a venomous adoration,
Yet, I like it.

Premium Member Joyful Spontaneity

Abandon ...
Animus ominous
Contortion continuous
Of consciousness 

Embrace ...
Magnetic bliss current
To which soul sentient 
Innate joyous element 

Become ...
Both playful & wise
Each life pulse a surprise 
We vibrationally rise

A Pleasant Day For a Drive

There’s something richly picturesque
About the contortion of a man who has just
Swerved into the left lane in order to throw ugly gestures
At you through your open window--
All for shifting to the right
So you wouldn’t miss your exit.

I smile back in relief that
He didn’t need to be in the right lane
After all

Mathematic Uncertainty

MATHEMATIC   UNCERTAINTY



A number may be rounded or squared;
While a letter can only be squared, and is spared
Further distortion.
Is this contortion 
Of logic wobbly?
Probably.


…………………………………………………………………..

NOTE

Remember the formula about the circle where “R”  is squared
Remember that 4.27 can be rounded to 4.3
4.27 can be squared  to  18.2329

Premium Member Crooked Contortion


Rainbow rhapsody  
morphs into morose mélange
of fractured fervor,
sordid shades of blue 
paint linen of love, frayed.
Sanguinity songs turn 
into nonsensical noise                               
echoed by soul, arcane.
Leitmotif of life seen
through indolent cynic lens
of distorted essence,     
magnifies manifold 
into crooked contortion 
of convoluted conscience, aberrant.

Discerning Distortion of Personified Worlds

No apologies
No criticism
Significant abhorrence
Distorted transfiguration
Angsty mornings
Disheavled evenings
Annoyance , frustration , disdain .
Paradoxial inception
Analytical depression
Muffled whispers
Defunct agression
Ultimate paranoia
Unconsciously decisive
Submissive arguments
Disoriented contortion
Twirling whirlwind of suppression
Tumult of words
In finalè 
Pure satured composure guided by 
motives of predestined animosity

Expressions

I see the blinking lights for the guest’s attraction

A lighting that is of an archaic fashion 

But it is of significance to a wedding function 

And these lights at the same time do frighten 

For it is like they open their eyes to stun 

And close their eyes to a contortion 

They indeed are of different types and position

The lights with the blinking in a slow motion

The lights with the blinking in a rapid motion

For they possess an evocative expression

Premium Member Terrestrial Head Contortion

My hands are sutured 
behind my head. 
I lie like a fallen yield sign 
on the side of the road. 
My path is yellow and humble. 

My hands separate.  Pull. 
And split open the back of my skull. 

Evolution takes place in the gaps 
of solitude being locked in a room, 
away from all influences. 
Natural and spiritual become one law. 
And I yield . . .  

Pried open with my crowbar 
hands, the grey matter separates -- 
creating an entranceway 
for new experiences.

Premium Member Sentimentality

Sentimentality

Most curious 
duality ... this
Sentimentality

Excessive tenderness,
sadness, nostalgia
corrupting modality,
distorting reality's
social edifice

Brain-cramping
contortion,
fierce pressure
building,
Sentimentality
wielding an
assault on
humanity! 

Liars lie with
impunity
Childhood
lessons lost
Darkness 
perverting civility 

Root of irrational passions,
misplaced idealism—
This insidious,
ever-swelling 
tsunami of 
Sentimentality
