Short Counteract Poems

Outwardly I may seem like an outgoing guy
But if the truth be known, I'm really quite shy
It's all a big act
To counteract
The shyness I've had since to a grasshopper I was knee high...

Hobbies, I've had many throughout my life
They counteract boredom and help me handle strife 
Had many through the years
Many more than my peers
Even better than eating chicken fried rice...

Ever falling leaves
my heart breaking
all the rules we know
how much to love
will you find me
you and everything
broken in two
hearts beat as one
last kiss 
me I'm yours
is the love I need
to say nothing....

Where is it written that life must be enjoyed
To counteract the sad times, methinks it's a ploy
Lives shouldn't ever be filled with sad
Such a waste of a life to be sadness clad
There's no guarantees, so joy must be employed...

Iguana wants to be a player
Geico commercials didn't hire this slayer
Apparently he's too green
To counteract the green screen 
So Iguana puts on shades 
Then moonwalks and prays
The Gecko breaks a leg on Thursday 
And hopefully doesn't regenerate the next day...

an aspiration
forever immortalized
an anticipate
counteract  hostility
neutralizes those that oppose


life too short not to
look into the horizon
to reach magnitudes 
of importance to achieve

There is no integrity to the happiness I’ve built. 

Like a tree whose roots spread with momentum. 

Only to tangle and then poison. 

To shrivel- or maybe snap. 

Happiness feels so lonely sometimes.

Is happiness permanent?

I find myself pursuing a disaster. 

To counteract this senseless joy....

That prowess not exact
mishandling of intent, the wayward stack
taught needlessly, the childish empathy's intact
does meddle, muddle, and retract!

The wisdom of concern does counteract
the concentrated effort, closes lack
dissension in its needling, signals act
while consternation's rendering, faces fact!...

Drugs
                     make one
                     feel better
               when indisposed
               become addictive,
            If without prescription,
    which make one performs beyond
      normal level,that counteract
good health and sound mind with side effects,
  real determinant between life and death....

I wish you weren't apart of me
Traces of you flowing through my arteries
Deprived of essentials like a commodity
Wish you were someone who fought hard for me

Take it all, at least what's left
You've burnt this candle from both ends
See the light through the plight
Counteract the claustrophobic tesseract...

Much Sickness, I have seen
Sleeping tight, I have thin
Hope sometimes a whim

There are storms
Saddening and forlorn
There are earthquakes
Shattering and breaks

All these falters humans?
What do we have as a man?
To counteract such imbalance
With God, we can take a chance

We're all fish in a stream
The water pushes and ages us
and we can't counteract it.
Water knows nothing about looking back.
The dead become part of the ocean
where we'll all be someday.
We will drown into darkness
as death is absolute and perfect
for it never missed a single life.
All streams will one day dry up
and nobody will be remembered....

Eternal journey ~ looking back
into that spirit's grace, to counteract
the loss of space ~ my self's contract
was trusting, that confirmed exact.

A yes, a no ~ a nod, a fact
how loose the tongue, how tall the stack
of promises, un lived enact~
A spiritual inquest, mine to track.

This forecast's rendering, solicit's lack ~
Man takes you at your word, then empties that!...

I set up a chair in a patch of sun
To counteract the chill
And tip my face up to the sky
To feel the warmth, until...

A cloud drifts by and blocks the rays 
Which had felt oh, so good.
A minute later, there’s the sun, 
Back up there like it should.

This peek-a-boo continues - 
Rules that Nature has allowed - 
So I sit and wait as sunshine
Darts out from behind a cloud....

A-n antidote is a remedy
N-eeded for an infection; 
T-o counteract the effects
O-f poisonous contagion.
N-ecessary antidote for flu
E-liminates the morbidity; 
T-he vaccine is a solution
T-o sickness so
E-erie.

U-nknown ailment is erased, 
G-etting out of the throat; 
T-he rabid risk is prevented, 
O-nce there's an antidote.

Precept

Turbulation through existance and time
Never trying to counteract the pieces of twine
That is trying to rip me apart
Clinging to the expectance of someone else
Reaching but collapsing again and again
Maybe nature in charge of its own course and mine
Precept is my only light
Once more then shall I engage
Once more shall I endeavor
Once more precept 
Shall be my eternal vitality

To speak so clear in face of love’s demise,
will elevate the consciousness of one
‘til all will see the world so through her eyes
and so complete will counteract undone.

I set you higher
than I could ever reach
and I’ll probably hurt
myself trying

Though words are merely words, the precedent
is set for future days as simply this
unless I set you down, and find the strength
to speak so clear in face of love’s demise....

let it linger not too long enough to make them see

Life’s pitiless pathetic ploy -  
There is more sad than there’s of joy. 

For hearty laughs and happy cheers 
Here comes a penalty of tears. 

I gleaned from what life got me through 
To navigate between the two. 

I pledged a compromising pact -
My funnybone to counteract. 

These two take turns, sadness and joy - 
Life’s pitiless pathetic ploy. 

I can’t do both at once - thereby -
I gotta laugh so I don’t
cry.

She walks along an avenue
some call the Vale of Tears.

Her agonies and sorrows brew
in eyes that vail her tears.

She whiles alone, her gaze unmet,
behind a veil of tears.

But can she flee from sadness, yet
with no avail of tears?

In time, the Rue of No Regrets
will countervail her tears.





Vale: valley
Vail: let sink 
Veil: something that conceals
Avail of: use to one’s advantage
Countervail: offset, counteract

Thoughts twisted and embraced through emotional 
trauma
Trauma creating emotion that is embraced by twisted 
thoughts
Picked apart the characteristics of the human

Anatomy of a human and its characteristics apart its

Counteract from continuing realities of delusional 
creation
