No Urgency

An urgent care doctor told me
Black eyes are no huge urgency
Can be if they're real...
Did just now reveal
Eye makeup has spread flagrantly!

Wondering when comments should occur?
What one needs to say or flagrantly display?
Clever in excess?
Brilliance neglected.
I rhyme without thinking.
Bare my soul!
To strangers unknown.
If I rely on accolades
To prove my words matter
No courage is required.
As ignored, I may be.
The best of you all
That you never see!

Narcissists

A hermit without a shell is a
weak, pitiful creature.
It wonders alone for onlookers to
moisturise their naked skin with 
empty tears.
They feel no shame when mocked 
for their fetishized strife;
flagrantly flailing their flaking skin
to justify their tantrums.
The terror and turmoil that it sheds 
plagues even those passingly amused.
Until we are all naked, afraid and alone.

Premium Member Without You

without you

an empty world, 
core frozen,
remembers the heat 
reflected in gemstones 
within its crust.
sun flares flagrantly mock.

wasting its fire 
on emptiness.
where is the one 
who burned for me
my sun, 
our molten moments left
as scars, invisible.

I wear minutes 
wrapped about me
like chains. 
they weigh so heavily
marking my breasts, 
my hips.
why are you not here to free me?

Life's Charade

Intelligence means nothing in life’s charade
Where the heart leads the head, brings upon it shame

And the tongue is loose, wild and riotous
Hands and feet quick to run to and fro with violence

Eyes desire to witness evils that the devil would be impressed
Lips speaking lies flagrantly, though they swear hand on breast

Intelligence means nothing in this life’s charade
For it is wisdom we need as a player for this game

Premium Member Wake up and hear the silence

How long do you think
you can ride the coattails
of blissful ignorance?

Isn't it flagrantly obvious that
you are skating on thin ice...
and equally evident that
you're living on borrowed time?

How long do you think
you can get away with avoiding
the elephant in the room?

Have I been the unjaded enabler
whilst my silence should have screamed
to you louder than any multitude of decibels?
