Global Boring

When you've conquered all that money could offer
Do you retire to a schedule of pleasurable regularity 
Or forever taste the dissatisfaction of everything

Premium Member There's got to be a better way

Disillusioned.
Growing frustration.
Deepening dissatisfaction.
No dreams. No direction.
Lost in all that's artificial.
Looking for clarity and meaning.

Premium Member Separation, dissatisfaction, and suffering

Separation, dissatisfaction, and suffering..

The separate-you belief 

Is synonymous with 

Dissatisfaction and suffering.. 

And with beliefs 

Of separate future lives..

Premium Member Dissatisfaction exposed

What 

Was the seeker before

That identity arose..? 

The story is that the seeker 

Is a spontaneous arising 

Which points to a 

Dissatisfaction with 

Separation. ??

Premium Member This is logical nonsense

Interpretation~

springs from

dissatisfaction with

appearance and

a wish to improve~

yet appearance is

already complete

without need

for further 

Appearance~~


Unmanned

Arraign dissatisfaction with remorse,
the laws of strife seem evermore mundane!

While joy upon the other hand
does stake its claim ~

Upon the soil of faithful ban
against the fetished tool  . . . .  unmanned!

Premium Member Identifying the Cause

If desire be the causation of our action
Having roots in dissatisfaction 
Requiring movement from here to there
Failing to see God everywhere 
Know that we are enmeshed in delusion
Ego urge being the motivation

Neverending Judgement

It’s an issue when I say something, 
but also when I don’t. 
There’s a problem with when I eat, 
but also when I don’t.  
Someone always has something to say, 
or looks to throw. 
No-one looks at what they do, 
just at what everyone else does.

Feeling This Way Could Possibly Be a Good Thing...

Make her disappear. Take her away.
Feeling. Cold. Inside.
Invisible in here eyes, she sees not.
Nothing important is made clear.
Wishing…
Need that sweetness! Need a fix!
Give it back, it has been tainted.
Disregard. Disrespect. Dissatisfaction.

Premium Member Deeper, Dig Deeper

When the well runs dry
What do you do, abandon all hope
Or do the work to dig deeper?
It’s natural for the familiar and repeated
To grow stale
The dissatisfaction is how we grow.
Knock, knock the joke goes
But the real joke is nobody knows.

Premium Member Some Secrets In the Dell

The voice of the flowers flowed along the greenery in the dell.
One who heard their whispers was a pixie named young Nell.
She understood their excitement, but the words she could not tell.
For some secrets are best kept away from the fey, even in the dell.

Pull My Strings

In the covert rendezvous of reality
My heart habs motionlessly.
Tranquilly, yet peace-less
In the very art of loneliness
I crave for a minstrel
Endowed with mastery of the timbrel
Cunningly curing the blisters of emotion
And poking my pox of dissatisfaction.

Is This Why They Drank It

The sensation of contemplation leaves me shaken
Stirred and worried
I fumbled through my choices
Stumbled into annoyance and dissatisfaction
Is this why they drank it?
Should I go on until I get too f***ed up fall asleep while you talk about what I used to be like?

                                      put on your trousers
                                         i do not like snails in bed
                                             they are kerb-crawlers

Premium Member A Length of Time

combing my unkempt hair
unraveling years of not caring
my freedom knotted with reckless abandon
untangling each strand of dissatisfaction
cutting as curls fall away
each length a strand of injured time

Premium Member Today Is the Day

Obsessions about tomorrow indicate
that we cannot wait to know the future.
Obsessions with yesterday portray
dissatisfaction with today's reality.
Yesterday, whether pathetic or prophetic,
is a school and a tool, not a rival of today.

Incognito - Secret Shopper

I made a secret shop today...
Drove to downtown Tampa Bay
We dined for free, or so they say
It's a lot of work for meager pay...

Timing the waiter's every action
While noting each tiny infraction
Caused me plenty of dissatisfaction
That will be my final interaction...

Under Siege

constant reminder
the failure I am...

I can stand here and I
hear your ongoing demands...

your disappoints...

your total dissatisfaction
this realism-

your life you criticize...

back off!..

I've heard enough
my only disappoint met
is for you...

...I never was enough...

On Poetry

Power of the word

Poetry gives one more dissatisfaction
than others, and keep only the best line.
The predisposition to lifelong gruffness;
to certain degree nothing but poetry counts.

It's silence more impressive  than their voices,
loves a woman more than any on this world
tortures, sadder than others can be fatuous

Evil Guide

He whom comes' with sin
Alternatively and without reason'
Corrupts' the absent 
Person of his being, and
Neither does' his gratitude 
Gain prosperity, It can only
Sprout envy
And dissatisfaction of
That trail which stridulates'
Through-out the annul'
Of-
Man and his generational
Quest to become insolent
This is man's last basting

Premium Member From a Distance

Oh, absent one, I miss you.
Darling, an empty place awaits you.
Thrushes chirp their dissatisfaction in the garden
As I doze with boredom.
I send my well wishes from a distance.

Oh, absent one, my digital phantom,
You're here when I call but not here.
I brush my hair with discontent;
I eat bitter, lonely meals to stay alive.
I send my love from a distance.

LAUREATE OR NOT I AM A POET




Poet that I am,
I live on dreams and breezes...
I love to live in peace
and in a state of happiness...
But ambiguous as I am,
I am happy and sad...
I harbor dissatisfaction
and anxiety...
I seek total bliss,
the kind that can never be found...
But that does not shake me,
because I am an ethereal creature,
I live on dreams and chimeras...
Never giving up...!

The Perfect Poem

So stuck on fastidious thoughts, unable to make these lines rhyme;
it's like ice trapped between mountains cliffs waiting for spring...
can moodiness and dissatisfaction create the perfect poem?


For hours I tackle the unresponsive feeling that's too latent;
the language is languid, not flowing as smoothly as it should...
'till the rising of dawn words will sound lame and escape from my pen.

Whispers of Failure

Believe me,
I don't want
to see tears in your eyes,
yet, in the rhythm of time,
in the poetry of fate, today,
you dwell in the world of pain.

You know?
Even today, I always think of you—
feelings express dissatisfaction.

How days—
I haven not found you in my thoughts?
When was the last meeting?
When were the final words spoken?
These desires—
in this land of unwanted desires today.
