Short Forego Poems

Looking back, was the rose in me,
Looser having his heart savagely grime...

Looming at the jar,
Was the poisoned love....

Twin shades of a noble bird
simmer in copper
as I forego the pigskin
for soft, sleepy, sweet
cranberry burnished
succulent
meat!...

In solitude of heart,
Only myself
     with which to hear
     what echoes deep within.

In stillness,
     friend or foe?
     Make peace?
     Forego?...

His Aim
      A Shame

      Narrow
      Arrows

      Find Hips
      Miss Lips

      Forego
      Crossbow

      Next Year
      Try Spears...

Flavors of Christmas -
eggnog, fudge and pecan pie -
I would all forego
to savor your sugared kiss
underneath the mistletoe

Banana Cream Pie I could eat by the barrel
My waistline would suffer, it's a losing battle
I could eat like a fly
Forego all that pie
And still I'd resemble some hefty beef cattle

Whom Do You Trust
Short Poem: by Miracle Man

Whatever besets me or my day entails,
I’ll keep the faith knowing God prevails.
By trusting in HIM I can forego details,
my trust is in Him for HE never fails.

Love my once loved mistress
I must now there forego 
A cauldron of such a lawless love
The spring of friendship with the filth of concupiscence
I beclouded its brightness with the hell of lustfulness.
Emotion gone not but the lovely sextress...

You've made it to the moon
     the tiny creature said
   He had a tempting piece of cheese
     wrapped around his head

   Though insanely hungry
     I thought it kind of right
   to forego the cheese this once
     and keep the night alight...

Aspires buoyancy,
            
                                  Morning sun peaks to brilliance,

                                         Woes forego , sunsets !!

little pig beware the lupine cliques-
that prowl the woods of politics
the scent of money they adore
as all the while they howl for more
yowling from the forest floor
beguiling with their wily tricks
forego the straws and fragile sticks
and build your house of bricks!...

Love my once loved
mistress
I must now there
forego 
a cauldron of such a
lawless love
the spring of
friendship with the
filth of
concupiscence
I beclouded its
brightness with the
hell of lustfulness.
emotion gone but
still remains there
the lovely sextress...

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Forego thy demons, none would be found here

Such guile belies the pleasure of the young

Until thy trials should rise of fact, not fear,

so will thy measure see the pious hung

What is it that compels us to 
forego
what is.
The known.
Fact, 
proven or held true by the 
many.
Excuse ourselves from family 
and friends.
Step into a moving river 
Swim against the tide 
And try 
To alter the current,
Refract the shadow
Refine the flow,
with words 
that really define us....

My life a poem, forego the count,
that comes in threes and fours

The space between to catch new breath,
that time may now allure

These moments gifted more than once,
constant in their prayer

Whose vow will cast the river wide
—new words to baptize there

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)...

'Let me tell you a story'
  O, those magical words
Sleepy heads snap to attention
  Gather round, eager birds

Stories you tell have a beginning
  a middle and always an end
And a happy ending
  can be your best friend

But the 'story' making headlines today
  is one often ending in woe
Unlike your magical tales
  This is one to forego...

Firecrackers bursting tare, 
New years, new tear... 

Burst the durst,
Accurst in an outburst, 

Rainfalls witnessing the tough times,
Outfalls are the rough mistimes... 

A go to his ego,
Forego the flamingo, 

Bye to a lovely lover, my heart...
Eyes are gravely over, my harte... 

Broom, a bloom in his room,
Groom, a doom in his darkroom......

a limerick

No longer sweehearts, but I need a gift.
For just a day can we forego our rift?
You get me a puppy dog;
I'll buy you a marble frog.
On Valentine morn, exchange will be swift.

I'll treasure the frog, hand-picked and hand made;
you'll dote on your puppy without charade.
The gifts are no bother
we'll share with each other.
Just be glad, I didn't choose a grenade....

Alone
in my boyhood
the adult awaits
impatient indulgence
the year growing late

The woods
and the forest
refuse to let go
my spirit within them
the man to forego

Parents
and teachers
left counting the days
as wonder and whimsy
hold on and delay

The moment
I falter
the day that I fall
that boy left to wander
— where time never calls

(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)

EGO  TO HONOUR

     
    I honour my Ego
           never to forego,
                 supporting my self esteem
                         to fulfil desired dream.
    
  Me: Born fighter
     Ego acts as lighter
          igniting soul, illuminating brighter.

  Me cheerful 
      not grave,
          but blissful 
              and brave
               even in Grave.

No matter where you go,
Or what you do,
Christmas will catch up with you.

No matter where you hide,
With or without a guide, 
Christmas will be there before you.

Working through will not be enough of a reason,
To forego the season,
As Christmas has already caught up with your workmates.

Best to just think of the state,
Of your plates, 
When Christmas brings you unexpected guests....

It seems no matter how hard I try
I can never escape this flesh of mine ? 
My enemy is not Lucifer, fallon angels or
Demons spirits rulers as any other powers
Albeit most assuredly yes they do contribute
Unto these trials in reasons amid their own kiln..
While we wake another day about it's walls flames
Bringing us to our knees pyres hearts whom can forego ?
Flee this wisdom which keeps one bound atop, His love's altar....

It cost me an arm and a leg but I think it was well worth the cost,
I am not into jewellery in any meaningful way,
So, it was no great hardship to forego the pleasure,
Of owning the latest piece of bling,
That people seem to want to hang around their necks,
I never bought a selfie stick,
It therefore shouldn't have been a surprise to you,
That I would pay for the return postage on,
The Mill Stone you so kindly sent me on 30 days free trial....

Dr. James E. Martin


Salvation He so graciously provides,
	Secure are you as in Him you abide.
Heaven awaits all who to Him submit,
	Hell will never these ones admit.
Amazing display of His endless love,
	Aware we should be of provision from above.
Reverence to Him we should continually show,
	Reluctance to this attitude we should always forego.
Eternally with Him we’ll joyfully abide,
	Evermore grateful for all He has supplied!...
