Red Sun 2

Mother Earth stirs, awakes
and flips her cozy blanket,
causing frenzied specks of dust
to distort sunlight.

Lifting the Fog

with closed misty eyes
trying to see the future,
fog bound memories
distort her vision, but soon,
love will set her free to heal.

MIRROR



          The mirror is the truest thing
   it shows ugliness and sees beauty clearly
             it does not distort reality

Dismiss, Distort, Defend, Reverse.
The demise of my universe.
Unheard, unfelt, alone, confined;
frustrated, angered, hurt, maligned.

Painful Tears

These tears..
oozing from the heart rind, 
Condense in the iris,
become transparent
Then shine like pearls.
These, the tears of the subdued,
are enough to distort our existence.

Make No Regrets

Life is so precious, 
but yet so short,
that should leave us with nothing to distort.
Live life to the fullest,
make no regrets,
don't let people think that you didn't do your best.

Go Flood Yourself

You may distort my audio,
twisting words with your prism.
But, the chasm
of your failed schism,
will be drowned in the flood
of truth's written flow.

Issues Skirted

Issues Skirted

All issues Trump seems to have skirted;
Had been confusing when things blurted;
He did distort;
Mission abort;
More bull stuff out of him again squirted.

Premium Member Stay a Way

just looking
for opportunities
to misinterpret
and distort
every word

looking for a reason
any excuse
to be miserable
as if there isn’t
enough grief
in the world already

Premium Member Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Distort of sounds strum his bow —sawed heart rhythms,
mischievous fool impels my mind's rapt boredom.
The devil's finger warns and pivots, sedates,
adrift among alleged stolen dreamscapes.
The jester sleeps all day, perplexed I awake.

Only For the Knowing

Crumbled chalk, the same 
Illusion of thoughts, the game
How dare you distort this mass of energy 
Liar, you snort, hijacking my memory 
Matter over mind,
Forever never declined
Soul crushed under cash
Powder over ash

My summer dress is a wee bit too short
I'm drawing aggressive stares of all sort 
Men with their catcalls 
And their big eyeballs
I thanked my dry cleaner for the distort

There is more than the top music hit list 
Despots armed with a lethal poison twist 
Some say come down to their level 
Disguised, distort as the devil 
Or just do nothing if you get my gist.

Truth As Biggest Speech Defect

We stutter, lisp and clutter
We are not vocal – mute…

We can be choppy, mumble words
Impaired rhythm, be automatic…

Distort our sounds, substitute, omit
Or string together made-up words…

And all impediments forgiven
But God forbid – to tell the Truth!

Where Do You Fit In

Society is a sum of it's parts
As we stray, distort and delete
The word of God
From our daily needs and deeds
The results are obvious
A chaotic and destructive world
All the more reason to share the love,
Compassion and forgiveness 
Of the word of God
By any and all means possible

Vaccine For Love

I think some people
sometimes
need a vaccine for love
because its  virus that can spread
through out your body
within a few days
and can control you
and your life
distort your vision
destroy your heart
cloud your mind
and make you do horrible things
this vaccine will save so many hearts

Premium Member Grievous Words

Grievous Words By: Miracle Man August 15,2020 The harshness of a persons voice, can distort the intent of a spoken word. Though an apology always comes by choice, it won’t erase any damage incurred. Proverbs 15:1 “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.”

Cock and Lock So In Shock

when weapon will cock
shoot people after in place lock
was a complete shock

when he shot a deer
he had been brave with no fear
was a pioneer

what will be our trait
is when we investigate
had to educate

when words did distort
mission early would abort
ended up in court

The Shadows

I feel broken 
I’m so confused  
But not matter what 
I will lean on you.

In the darkness 
In the light
Even when the shadows 
Distort my sight.

My God, My God 
I know you are good
I know you will make a way 
I just wish I understood. 

Even in this silence 
Even as I wait 
Help me to remember 
You are never late!

The Hearings

I believed Anita Hill;
So did all my friends.
History repeats itself;
We know how it ends.

Watching makes my stomach turn
For loyalists won’t budge
And thus the Court will have on board
Another suspect judge.

It really isn’t a surprise
When those in our regime
Distort the truth with consequences,
In this case, Supreme.

Premium Member Nanny Gigi On Liars

Liars distort, manipulate 
do not willingly subjugate
little gossip and whopping lies
let integrity be the prize

Discernment be your lips cement
let the words of truth lament
keep true north, shun the dirty south,
for a fly does not enter a closed mouth

Premium Member Long Shadows

The eyes of yesterday
cry in silence behind broken glasses
where perception is scattered
like dust swept away
So as not to distort the memories
of a tempestuous fool
trapped in a whirlwind of lost judgment
in a drunken playground of self-indulgence
painting a loftier picture of lies
which slipped through life's fingers
like mercury
