searching for a signal

lords over its slaves with lack

It stuns, it paralyzes, it scars
it cripples, it maims, it undoes
and yet it is yourself!

he carries limbs for sale.

born inside a building
on fire,
that crawls of panting dogs.

A lady with sensitive nipples
Wore a blouse revealing the ripples
She went to the pub
Played rub-a-dub-dub
And the men walked around like cripples!...

The way she walks, her boobies bounce
Causing drivers to weigh each ounce
Her nipples ripples
Makes men cripples
Before they have a chance to pounce...

sunsets colour in his eyes
midnights cold in his path
his touch burns flesh
his stare cripples men
the world has fallen 
the grass is gone 
and kisses missed...

I'm finished with living by spectacle

        It cripples my heart with disgust

Instead, I want something more practical

        Where relevance reigns over lust...

discerning that that divides, contracts, cripples
versus that that entwines, expands, enables
soul presence within form then chooses
the way upon earth it wishes to be
thus the die of destiny is cast
cognised by mindful eyes
who are self-aware...

they install a hunger 
the cripples

for them breathes power
can you taste it

they reveal all fear
are you scared

reviling a way 
so tempting

more real than touch
they feel

showing a way
lost hearts

bringing a understanding

chronic insomnia cripples
        its bubble of distortions guts my day      
             
                    deprived of sleep  
        the ordinary appears horribly difficult
                     the extraordinary 
                   becomes impossible...

non notables
same is to same old
repeat offenders 
nothing new
back scratch revenues
old poets club.
canned scriptures
wasted words
post mortem phrases
casket contusions
dead dendrites.
old poet network news.
boring, blatant, bygones,
corporeal cripples....

Greed or need,
whoever designed it
is laughing at us,
despite its resemblance
to wealth,
it cripples health,
destroys the land,
flows freely
like grains of sand,
it spreads everyday,
like a necessity here,
it frightens without fear,
money and fame is the lure,
death is the cure....

Out of the darkness 
arises color burst

Van Gogh starry night sky style

The blues disappear in light burst
on my night sky

Resurrect your kind heart  
from the pettiness of discontent

Your lack of talent at an old age
cripples your dry shriveled bean of a heart.

Lub-dub! Lub-dub! Lub-dub!? How many ticks
before the end?...

dark dearth dribbled
crunching cloned cripples:
hoisted hay forlorn
perforating pulpy pawn
punctured pills pored
gaunt gifts gored

nocturnal nature tamed
leering lanky lame
kaleidoscopic chaos craved

meagre missiles moaned
munching mufti robe
rusty rhythm poked

yearning yucks yelled
fuming felon flesh.

When
Will we accept our idealist indirection? 
Deviated by selfish deviance;
byproducts of our own deceits. 

Hope
Remains in anonyms who grasp moralizing concepts. 
Courage must manifest promised tangibility. 

Despair
Cripples forces of hope;
Sprinkling dreary forecasts, only to be left in doubt.

Questionable answers are found, such as...
Why do we be what we are?

WHAT A FEELING…
When in pain the throbbing can tell
When hungry the pangs can tell

But when in love… none can tell
None can know the painful joy I go through
None can fathom the anxiety I go to bed with
Hopping that the feeling does not burst my heart
Longing for the night to pass so I can see you on the morrow

This feeling called love
Cripples me every passing day
That all I long for is you my love....

Unfriendly hands
thrusting...pushing me
out the door
of "a perfect world".
Rejected.
"You should be with your own kind".
"You have no place here".
"WE DO NOT WANT CRIPPLES".
Cripple.
A label given by people living in a sterile world.
They cannot let us mar
their snow white creation.
So conveniently they forget-
(shut away, we cannot bother them).
My soul cries to be released but
I am silent.
For I know 
it would do no good....

Birds chirpped well in the morning,
Hardly any specs of clouds in the sky,
Breeze came sung and blown away,
Ripples kissed the shore in the lake.


Flowers are in full bloom in the garden,
Nature dances in ecstacy,
Little thought cripples on my mind,
Started throwing stones at others.

Later,when my virtues and prayers started ,
Dancing in harmony,then,
I could see me in others like,
The reflection of the rsing sun in the lake....

A SILENT DECEPTION
Intimacies of our lives,unspoken
essentials of the everyday routine.
Taken for granted,matter of fact
hidden away behind the façade we
present to the world.A mask contrived
to present an image conceived
to hide our true personality.
A silent deception,born of necessity
cripples the reality that encompasses all.

You may hear me recite this verse  and most of my PS poetry on you tube under my pen name ichthschiro....
