She wept~

Tears of pain

Tears of loneliness

Tears of despair

Tears of distain

She wept~...

There once was a boy named Meir
Who sung at home by the fire

His dad went insane
And yelled with distain

"Why don't you go join a choir!"...

'Your computer just might be at risk'
'There is not enough room on your disk'
Oh yeah? I retort with distain
There's PLENTY of space in my brain!...

disdain
deep
deep
within my brain
how to
get to
a place
without peril
I look
I look
for shame
I look
distain refrained
poor poor brain...

In the end a love turned bitter
Once fresh bouquet starts to wither
Their hearts bear all the strain
Of love's cruel distain
Their sour love tale I deliver...

March cometh upon Ukraine 
Missiles blacken snowmelt plains
Morning birdsong tweets distain
Metamorphosis, cocoons from pain

Slapped with shame 
left a print of distain
the mark is still left
long after it came
like a stain
no matter how hard you try 
to take away the pain
you reilize you lost
more than you gained
slapped with shame
left with a print of distain
the pain thats left
is a dark red stain...

Eyes that miss nothing
Pierce through the inky blackness
Aware and wary
Wisdom permeates vision
Distain colors every glance.
Yet, somehow I understand
Do we share a common vision?
Yes, Amazement at human behavior.

I struggle Endlessly 
Difficult to get the balance right
Between writing fluff 
And making enough
Of what I mean to say
And actually say
Its not to everyone's taste
But it comes from base
Emotions like pain and common distain
Of my daily issue's 
And if any of this should touch a cord
It proves your views are not ignored...

Human, is part of the word humane.
Universally, we should all be human.
My worries are; have we become insane.
Animals are to be treated, the best we can.
Nearer to God, we should be without distain.
If you mistreat an animal, that would be inhuman.
Tell me why, we allow so much worldly, human pain.
Yet, we all strive to save animals, with much acumen....

Garfield sits with hooded eyes of distain 
Claiming the computer shelf as his domain
With a smirk resembling a grimace of pain
From to much commotion he craves mundane 

Gifted to girl who he thinks may be insane
Too much excitement, like a run away train 
Forty years together but he can't complain
When she sleeps, he drinks her champagne

Did you see the sun glare down in silent distain 
And the dust devils dance across the plain
When you stood on the highway black ribbon
Did the tar feel sticky as the heat was striven

And at midday on a hot summer’s day 
Did the semis dance in the heat as they drove away
And when a cloud crossed the sun
Its coolness was your reward for all that’s done.

Dark hollow words echo 
in my skin for things 
I have done in numerable sins 
counting each a thorn of pain 
dark hollow words distain 
desire my internal fire 
my funeral pyre they cut so slow 
so very deep I feel then seep
down to keep me in turmoil 
Cleansed by my fire slow and complete 
dark hollow words 
echo long 
into my night
longing for something 
to keep me company...

Lotion cream balm an ointments 
reminds us of who we really are  
accessories fitment's an garments
never need lavish nor spar
classic cupboards organized 
maintain visual distain
to relax an feel stabilized 
everything is perfectly attain
or maybe not quite a start
funny how time seems to fly 
then wonder how far
th' reason of existence apply
like driving all night 
without an aim...

CONFRONTATION 



My destiny angrily
 I Confronted
Complaining of the many
Obstacles she put 
On my way, 
Of all calamities and pains
She mercilessly upon
Myself inflicted 

She heard my protests   
With distain
Retorting that the blame
Should not be put on her
But rather upon me
For she had ONCE, 
Myself, heard to
Exclaim:
How beautiful life
Really CAN BE!

Solid harden black stilled heart
Blood flowing yet spiritually stuck
Tired and exhausted toward the mouth
Cold, miserable distain spewing out 
spinning, twirling like a flag on a pole
Dripping, driving like a man on a mission
Repented on the fallen on knees 
Solid harden black stilled heart

The heart wants what the heart yearns
It can not just try and unlearn
If it could it would
It breaks and aches so much pain 
As if It was caught in a stormy rain
The devil dances in my heart causes so much distain
I fear It will ripe me inside out causing me to shout
Now if I could find another way to satisfy my heart
That will not break it all apart
This would truly be the magic key
Can you help me

Wrapped in rapture, taking in deep panic breathes!
Docile, feeling of euphoria! Take it all in by the pound.
Don’t sleep tonight, it could come for you.
Take you from the depths of despair. No more tears.
Feeling of protection. Feel this, cool, crisp, water.
Taking back the children to the front line. Tread easy.
Tasting bitter, cold, distain. Licking it off the plate.
Wanting more, wanting it all, bring it back for seconds...

I cried to spy you laugh
to see your ballroom choreograph
shameless pleasure with a smile
my heart breaking all the while

a week ago we split
and no way I am over it
tear falls daily catch me up
every time a memory hits abrupt

your joy laughs at my pain
and those sneers bring such distain
as though we never were a we 
all torment surrounds the lesser me

from the ooze I will connect
as much of me as I recollect

(raw)

BLACK WOMAN
Many types of distain shades of browns royal
Birthing colors of spring the terrain Black-woman
Standing free, running on land
Staying put embracing torrent rains storms of weather
Embedded covering drapes over us like a blanket-sheet
Sleeping not, awakening such a baby dreams their love comforts me
Falling winter grounds
Many types of distain shades of browns royal

Half Alpaca, it spits if I dare kiss Cathy's ruby lips.
It plants a jacked-up rhubarb stalk,
a stiff stalking walk
if I dare roan hands over
my lovers compliance.

Cathy’s cat is much loved by itself
and also by the silky paws of its owner.
I think it may be transforming into a Burmese python
or something more slinky, sneaky, and lower.

As for I, it shows its one scorning pink eye
as it struts away
tail up, exposing a cool distain
as arrogantly possessive as any ‘fork you’ flag....

the lettuce
is wilting
let us pray
for salad days

but
so said by Shaw
about gardens
and god

he's in the ground
but digging a bed
isn't the same
as a grave

so she was sown
from seed to sprout
now an heirloom
with an older tune

but still blue bells
toll in a breeze
they toll not for you
not due at least

another season to greet
spring up with the sun
drink down the rain
summer's slumbers

never one to complain
never one to distain
caffeine laughing
