This Is Not Life

Imprisoned by limitations
Delayed by fear
Bound by contracts
In servitude of the dollar
Grueling
Not fair
No acceptance
This is not life

Chandelier

A chandelier hung frozen in time
Locked in a hazy Italian photograph
Memories spark and sizzle
But die out all too soon
In a grueling cycle of remembrance

Trump Worst Candidate

Trump Worst Candidate

Would we really get Trump's claw
When we said he had poor stamina
Would not work if things grueling
Many questions about his schooling
Worst candidate we ever saw.

Roll It

open my blind's to new day
 sound is grueling
right off the bat
you should hear be here
 I know your rolling
you filthy creep film man
watch as i start my car my club's in trunk
my step if I see you
 don't think I wont tee one up

The Human Race

In the grueling marathon of human race
Those who believe the mantra "everyones a winner"
Will neither finish or see the end of days
Confidence in one's self, the stamina
And endurance, from what defines it
Will determine victors, losers and how we place

Video Games and Hallucinations

After grueling sessions of
 
Guitar Hero 3,
 
I would often look to the mirror
 
to my right
 
and marvel at how
 
my vision was affected by the game,
 
with the mirror becoming twisted
 
and augmented,
 
slithering across the wall in my living room.

Grit

grueling marathon
gumption and guts required
grit is that virtue which
gifts graceful females with
greatness despite the groans
girls give all they’ve got for
glory that comes with gold

God and Grueling

God and Grueling

http://www.poetrysoup.com/poets/top_100_poets_most_poems_all_time.aspx

God prevents things that are grueling
Me for a great day up started tooling
Sitting me down making me still
And showing me a new found skill
So much to learn in His schooling.

Symbiosis

Somewhere in a rugged sunny terrain
a bushy-maned pony kicks up his heels
amid biting flies in a grueling summer heat.
An elegant cattle egret hitches a ride.
Devouring grassland insects, his daily diet,
the egret helps his buddy in his plight
keeping the flies at bay while loping along
together through brush and grass and sage.

Neglection

Neglection: An Acrostic Poetry

Neither of whether hope nor cries,
empowered by a companion.
Grueling moments of surprise
languish as felt dereliction.
Empathy, why can’t just be nice?
Care has no intention.
Tender felt in pure disguise,
impeded to submission.
Only to mark in bold precise:
Novelty in aggression.

Unavowed Promise

Forlorn tinged faces reminiscing old times
Where smiles did not enshroud an ache,
And the grueling effort it had to take,
Cries of help in their throat they were caught
Feeling a shimmer of serenity not a bit distraught, 
But that's the thing about pain,
It might leave for brief moments, 
But comes back like an unavowed promise from grey clouds to carry the rain.

The Fight Within

We often strangle ourselves within,
Quietly, choked and suffocated within. 
Dare no one can read it,
Not even a close one dared to feel it.
The load that has been weighing heavy,
The grueling and strenuous task to carry. 
We ignore the pain and soreness to feel less petrified. 
No one sees how much we have sacrificed. 
To bridle the feeling and win the fight within.

Addiction

i'm so addicted
there's no support group for what i want
grueling hunger
burning desire
such a cliche
heart pounding 
my addiction
why can't i get away?
consuming my thoughts
my wishes, my dreams
taking over my life
im so obsessed
you're so wrong for me
why are you constantly in my head???
i'm sick!
so screwed up
like a crack addict
groveling at your feet
i want you
she has you
but i need you

Snow Angels

As children
a snow angel was
a lovely
shape made by
joyful, flapping jumping jacks
on your back in snow

As adults
a snow angel is
someone who
rescues you
from grueling grunt work of snow
mountains blown aside

___

This Shadorma form poem was written in heartfelt appreciation of a kind neighbor who saw my snow shoveling misery and rescued me with their snowblower (before this wicked Midwest Winter totally finished me off)!

Must Be Paid In Time

A barrage of raw emotion
The onset proves, acute
It’s a radiating motion 
Abstract at the root

Shrouded by unyielding fog
Challenging a fleeting breath
Held hostage by my grueling thoughts
 Pale skin resembles death

I splash my face and wring my hands
Committed to disposal
My demons are denied a chance
No treaty or proposal

But, as with grief and mourning
Sacrifice must precede
The journey proves forlorning
Precious time, I’ll surly bleed

Deaths Victim

I became death's victim by age two,
Daddy was gone by morning dew.
No hug of strong might,
No note did he write.

My mother heard the shot,
She prayed it was not! 
Her worst fears were conveyed,
His heart was bullet blazed.

Two heart grueling did fly,
Till chance truly stopped by.
A man who would not leave at dew,
He was known by many and some few.

This man I now claim,
He has given me name.
Dad has proven death has no sting,
If we do not give its ring.

A Sailors Lust

Anchor down, wind at ease all the sailors out to please, one by one they step off deck and into the arms of who knows heck.
For a night of drinking, a fist full of titty, and a bottle of good ole smitty, to drowned out their long and grueling lives and sink in pity by those beer goggled cuties who in the end get their share of good ole boys that breathe the sea as if it where air, waiting for someone who's never there, just to care.

Styes

It was a searing moment in grueling
heat of your flesh, the racist attack had come
to surface, the blue eyes,

edible gold, in nights
the pink veil of the moon,
I will cut my wrist to pour out the pure vermillion;

a huge umbrella of hot kisses
dissolving the contaminated beads
of musk, like fever;

the smoke rolls down the hills
of collective guilt,
an anonymous warning;

the frozen voice opens
like a black tulip on baby ice,
down under goes the sun.

Cyclonic Storm

Dawn arrived beleaguered
and redrew the peaks 
across a bruised sky that churned
a displeased blue and pewter.

Soon lightening, a brilliant white
with titanium opacity,
crackled with scraunches
and screeches across the horizon.

Rain labored brutishly
against the grueling winds
savaging the already sodden,
soppy, soupy earth.

Multi-dimensional, phantasmagoric,
noctidial nightmare till, conterminally,
the broken sky refashioned itself 
in vivid electric pink and tangerine.
