Mirror is mine enemy,
Imperfections in it I see,
That solemn face of derision,
Mine enemy is me....

  Alacrity, not zeal, when it's time for confession...

Derision

Mirror reflection
the heart asks, “Is this the face
You take to the grave?”...

A lotus in mire,
A rose amid thorns,
A cactus in desert,
A creation in derision,
A song of beauty
Born in adversity!!...

  Basketball's  considered a 'contact sport'
    Football is a 'sport of collision'

  Hunting animals 'for sport'
                                   ~ purely derision...

Daughters of destruction, clothed without caution;
oh I see them in dresses of derision
....their laps sandwished in skirts of seduction
and their faces decked with colours of confusion....

Rescission of Television

While I was watching television
Was decision to be a rescission
With it people were annoyed
And television became a void
When they did have much derision.

Bound within hero norms
pilfered from the pulpit,
games twist tailored tempests
crafting men as monsters

with derision conquered
by illumined command:
complicity in stabs
while changing the channel....

Im screaming 
Im dying.
Looking for a voice
hoping for a choice
no decision
save me from derision
Im lost
I can only hear one voice
Lost.
Gone.
Undone.
Come back tomorrow.
I'll see what I can do!...

razored words in harsh derision
cutting pain enhances vision
Time stands still beside the void
That darkness that we all avoid
space spins eternal cup unfilled
constant motion standing stilled
by distance...

Jesus Did Suffer From Dissension

Jesus did suffer from much dissension,
Followed by delusion and then derision;
We were free at last,
From our sinful past;
No longer was He in the world's prison.

A satirical look at the world can really be uncool 
It's a vice held to scorn, derision, and ridicule
If we avoid this affliction
There's much less friction
Life zings along and our troubles seem minuscule...

When the wars of all nations fall quiet upon shells and shallow graves

A mockingbird rises from ashes and spreads its wings into nuclear skies

No muezzin left to spread angelic messages but a nest in calm turrets

If i was an ant
would my fathers sister be my aunt ant
and where does the d come from in pigeon
but sorry for the derision
Wanting to be the first person ever to unbake a cake
and if our knees bent the opposite way
What would our chairs look like...

In these days of seeming, endless division.
Hold no poet here, in seething derision.

Though,we pen magnums of great verse,
To no poet wish a curse, our ideas are quite diverse.

Hey,why deprived the juvenile of his breath without my permission?
Why bang into their honeymoon and kicked out the noble in derision?
You have no regards for souls and post in decisions.
I swear if you dare approach me i will wring off your neck in aggression.

A cold sweat forms on my brow
As I struggle with it again
For it’s the same thing now
I just want it all to end

Will I gain permission 
To sleep soundly this night
Or will I toss and turn in my derision 
For these matters I struggle with all my might.

Black but brilliant, because this BOWL is like the biggest Colander
And through each INDIVIDUAL aperture, the light expresses itself
LORD forbid that any aperture in said Colander will dare compare, -
Laugh in derision at other holes. We are ONE, but in different PLACES...

Dogmatic deconstructionists
 declaim
  the Dogs of Doggerel
   during the
Dog Days of Delusion

Deluded destroyers
 deliver
  the Dogfights of Doggerel 
   during the 
Dog Dances of Derision 

Derisive decoys
 denounce
  the Doghouses of Doggerel 
   during the 
Dog Dreams of Deception...

We never thought of how smart we were 
or where life would lead us
as long as it liked us 
and then the baby was born,

scorn and derision
a black and white commercial
a break from the tedium
and talking of them
we couldn't be them when
we were too busy being
us.

There is a labyrinth 
which draws the mind.
There is a maze
running through the corn.
Even the crow is pensive.
There is a certain derision
coming out of the chaff.
Cattle are calling with their eyes;
their eyes are full of sorrow.
They would sing the day-song,
strum a tune,
but they have no hands....

The art of decision
Crafted with precision,
A right amount of tension
With just enough suspension
And so very little convention
Will yield apprehension
Mixed with contention
And some derision
With a true vision;
But your invention
Requires attention,
And did I fail to mention
It will increase your pension....

I understand the isolation
   what others call being alone

I understand the silent moments
   the inner freedom to roam

I understand the derision
   and the label of being called strange

With each new dawn I most understand
 —the joy in not being the same

I sweat the smell of acquisicion
expensive perfume, leather and derision.

Designer clothes, and with precision,
a cat walk pose, a lovely vision.

An envied icon - take a piece.....
I walk the razor's edge, I tread a greasy place

….. drugged out senseless,
my only peace.


For Andrea’s:
