Short Flatters Poems

truth remains aloof
it flatters both friend and foe
each agree to lie...

It shatters
Heart into pieces
It flatters 
Pervading its messes
It poisons
With noble reasons
It kills 
Through words as bullets
It wrecks life
Tongue...

the winter weather mocks our eyes
it is laden like a frost
the city of your imperial dreams flatters
like an ivory jewel
Beware of your creation
taking care it is blue like
bathing in truth
waking into clarity
beyond the prisoning cave...

Love is like a silky red,

Love wont get out of your head. 

Love is like a heart on fire,

Love is like a group of quire.

Love is the one that matters,

Love is the one that flatters.

Love will take care of your home,

Love will also be at Rome....

Tangible Shit
Monetary Mush
Naturally Grown
Monetary Mush

And Now You Say
Money Matters?
Or You Fear
To Whom It Flatters?

Material Meltdown
What Is This Life?
To Be Identified 
By Symbolical Strife

You Think We Need
Financial Lust?
All That Matters
Is Coconut Kush...

The ghosts of fear are nesting
glaring clouds that are driven
A procession of baying donkeys
The ponds reflection loudly decries
as gulls shriek for attention

Nighttimes plumage banishes bluish
A torrent of rain flatters
the receiving river
painted by the sunshine
in the days of gold...

ENTROPHY

Entropy says that matter can't last
As energy holds it together.
But as we go down, fighting the last
I hope that just one little feather
Sticks to the side of whatever's left over
A bale of cotton, a field of clover.
It's not that it matters it's me that it flatters
So long as some semblance weathers....

I am the Letter C in all that matters
From being conniving and coy that flatters


Convincing and calm, courteous and cool
Courageous and centered, nobody’s fool


Caring and patience to those very few
Cold and callous to those with no clue


I care, I’m cute, I cuss and curtsey
I’m all this and more, I am the letter C...

words in my mouth

Democracy 
is like poetry 
only nice 
when it flatters us  


French culture 
is about the female believing
she is beautiful 


Perfume
even the expensive one 
is not about cleanliness 

the Louvre 
had everything 
except a proper loo

Small hotel in Paris
hot water for shower
only on Saturdays...

two feathers, each four inches long -
bought *for a song -
comprise a pair
of rings I wear

rings for my ears, not for my hands,
with silver strands
of beads entwine
my plumes divine!

the dark hue of the feathers goes
with many clothes
and flatters me
in ebony


*  "for a song" is slang for "at a bargain price"t...

Free is not kind
Sometimes it's blind


Nice is a vice
Who pays the price?


Words of complaint
Hide crooked veins


Guile flatters well
Strikes out to tell


Beware of noise
In rowdy poise


Attack thoughts prey
To ruin the day


Listen to truth
Let facts sign proof


Listen and learn
Or else you burn

To meet death head on,
You need but a song
  —to carry you on your way

The words needn’t matter
If the melody flatters
  —to be hummed by the people who stay

To meet death head on,
You need only one song
  —that your children may sing out of tune

Because the years they go fast,
Only memories last
  —as May gives up her flowers to June

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)...

Can you hear the thunder?
It pounds into my ears
It always makes me wonder
if I control my fears

It's hard to say I'm brave
as I see that flash of light
it's the terror I crave
the lightning is my fright

The rain pitters and patters
sounding a prelude to the flood
my heart beat it flatters 
as it boils in my blood

Can you hear the thunder?
it pounds into my ears
I no longer have to wonder
I cannot control my fears....

I love to wear a turtleneck,
A boat neck or a cowl
But offer me a V-neck
And I guarantee a scowl.

A scoop’s a possibility
And I will sport a crew
Yet I cannot explain just why
A V-neck will not do.

A sweetheart neckline flatters
And a halter is ideal.
A square or off-the-shoulder,
If the mood hits, has appeal.

Whenever I go shopping, 
I know what feels right for me,
And that is why I’ll rarely wear
A neckline with a V....

In the sunlight it flatters to deceive
But don’t be fooled by its calm exterior 
For beneath the welcoming surface
You will succumb to its true nature 

Its lures you into a false sense of security
Its intent is to drag you to its depths
Sap your strength, every ounce of energy
And squeeze from your body every breath

She will let you surface for a breath
Then drag you down again out of reach
Then when she has toyed with you enough
She dumps you lifeless on the beach...

A sculpted form looking so cute,
Only when kissed flatters as flute.

To him that knows not to play how,
Far better may sound an owl's hoot.

Metaphors thrown in for a wow,
A meter force-fitted in foot;

Or be it a classical cow
Dressed dandy, shaggy and hirsute,

Or an ascetic wearing jute,
Know this well  know it absolute--

If a man's musically mute,
How'd help even a finest lute?

So, should ye reap the finest fruit,
Go invest in its very root.

Green geisha grins
Charming the gentlemen
Eyes like chocolate pools
Drown in their sweetness
Their sweetness uniqueness
Able to sweep away grief
Smiling and styling
Dance romanced by
Graceful hands following 
The glance of envy
Avoiding sin of selfish men
Entertaining in elegance
Geisha wrist gives a twist
Pouring hot tea delicately 
With a sip from lotus lip
Chatter flatters intelligently 
You will always wish
For a confetti kiss
Celebrated but not cheap
Not free....

The Victor's Creed
By: Inking Al'Kallio ??™?

Never drink the wine of dispair 
nor let defeat toss you in the gutters.
No matter how great the needs be 
Our faith beats all foes.

Get not intoxicated with yester-victories,
nor let vain talks bids thy time,
thus,that how disgrace beckons.

Lest you tarry not,
in search of peace you cannot find,
work till your body shouts peace!
Making sure your failures towers above other men successes.
Whilst flatters they,you doth with ease....

Just a small speck 
                  on the cosmic wheel 
We must forge links 
  with the unknown 
     Before the shadow falls 
We can be seen dancing 
        on a small planet `
  As astral clouds pass us 
by 
   we take stock 
of our posisition 
    Not a moment to waste!
We must survive
    in the unearthly 
landscape
    gather our strength 
  for the final struggle 
In deepest space 
We dare to lift up 
    our small flag 
It flatters bravely 
         in the void...
