Hello again
nagging dissatisfaction
diminish me again
corrupt everything
with your whispers of truth....

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...

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!...

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

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....

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....

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....

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....

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...

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

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.

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...
 Incognito...

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......

Contentment*

joyous, peaceful

sharing, giving, loving

gratefulness, humility; arrogance, bitterness

complaining, grumbling, hating

miserable, anxious

Dissatisfaction

*1Timothy 6:6 …Godliness with contentment is great gain.

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...

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

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....

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....

All we want is for our needs to not be mistaken for complacency. 

Or for our disability to not be taken as a lack of ambition. 

We would rather be martyrs. 

With our pain woven.

Rather than trade autonomy for peace. 

We do not mean to cause discomfort with our dissatisfaction. 

We do not wish to hoard pity. 

Society takes what we beg to give. 

And blends it like a mild spice....

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....

what do i see now, 
everyone with the same vow,
everywhere i walk,
tragedy is the only talk,
every heart full of pain,
eyes full of rain,
disgust in the gesture,
cruel dirty brain!
dark lights,
shrinking sun,
worthless fights,
and dissatisfaction!
killers of the thoughts,
readers of the pain,
mad man's philosophy,
play behind the curtain!
haters' love fuss,
players' loss,
inverted world,
inverted universe!!...

Spiritual multitasking
I think therefore I think….
I am therefore I think I am.
Free me from this curse
This divine dissatisfaction
This need to be needed
Bridled by tenets and credos
Led down lost paths
Wrestling with the doubts
Of a soul
            searching
                          for   
                              its
                                  self.

Isn't life hard 
always standing on guard 

I pay attention occasionally 
to the things that pass by me 
and sometimes I see how it is.

But mostly I coast.

If I win or I lose 
it's my choice and 
you cannot choose 
the roads that I take.

Where the fear of rejection and
dissatisfaction outweigh the 
compassion of strangers 
is the where 
where I don't want 
to go.

So
I'll stand here on guard 
until I'm relieved....
