Slimith Shady
The fable man palms do perspire,
Knees inadequate,
Limbs do joxtapose in overabundance.
Purge grazes over the fable man's vestments.
Mother's Italian vermicelli....

Swelling in the heat
wishful thinking
laughter
what could be

Sitting on the fence
between corn fields and wildflowers

Feeding hungry mouths
Rubbing tired shoulders
Inadequate

Premium Member Pray For Them
The muggers,
The rapists,
The murderers,
The paedophiles,
The confidence tricksters -
Pray for them.

The weak,
The naïve,
The young,
The old,
The inadequate mixers -
Prey … for them....

Emotional Free Throw Line
emotional free throw 
three chances 
to hit the target
to gain points

was not able to 
make shots 
fell short every

lost the match

inadequate 
inaccuracy...

Feel
"She laughed...
I had a way of doing things that made her smile. 
Most days I felt inadequate, but not with her.  She was all I ever needed, even when I thought I didn't need anything.
I had a way of making her smile, 
but she had a way of making me feel."...

A Hollow Feather As An Exclamation Point
I am flying
I am screaming over the world with a light heart
Eternity just seems inadequate tonight
Just lying here so unaware of everything
This is so much more than nothing 
These stars came out just for us

I can't think of anything other than you here with me...

Premium Member An Inadequate Poem For You
To say you are my everything
Does not capture anything

To say you fill my every need
Does not tell all that you exceed

To say you satisfy me with pleasure
Does not explain a  joy beyond measure

To say your beauty is magnetic
Does not describe feelings so poetic...

Attack
Emailed apologies with no response
Uncertainty in vials like Novocaine
Contentious stares and plastic smiles
Drenched from the storm with no rain
I lean back in my chair and pull
the little daggers out of my back
Emptiness fills that inadequate hole
As I wait for the next attack...

Premium Member Vignette-Van Gogh Finale
A painting a day for ten weeks
Each different, unique-
In this flurry of work
Blur of despair,Vincent did depart,
Before pointing a gun to his heart

These 70+ paintings + (aptly) yellow flowers bedecked his death-bed scene.

An inadequate tribute to a genious and misunderstood man...

Inadequate Inaccuracy
inadequate inaccuracy
never hit the mark 
no matter practice 
no matter efforts made
just a hair off the goal line 
just out of range of the target 
never able to get a clear shot 
something always got in the way 
of the vantage point from which 
the target should have been visible...

The Loner's Path
Despised by finesse and mocked by success
He deemed this molestation excess;
Having found friends vain and inadequate
He could no longer wait,
But resolved to tutor the world a lesson,
To milk into it all his poison,
And quench all the smothered wrath; 
He thus embarked upon a loner's path....

Premium Member Our True Nature
Our "true nature"

Sometimes 

Named as nothing

(Awareness or

Consciousness

Or perhaps

Potato

Are equivalent..)

The hidden line

In the story is

Nothing IS all:

Appearing as

All imagined 

Names..including

Nothing..and as

This stream of

Inadequate words......

The Road
Roads ahead i see no way to go
Troubled, inadequate what way to go
Mesmerized, hanging on, oh anima  of justice 
Free my demons, hide no more i came to conquer 
Discover the deep, recover from pain, live the pain
I own the pain, days are to come i shall overcome 
I am who i am, enlightening, oxymoron 
I am human....

The Other Side
In vile defeat I confided to helplessness
I cringed knowing I know so little
As inadequate as I am I felt responsible 
I felt responsible to know everything

In this mentality I suffered long nights
Over thinking myself and overlooking life
Until I gave up the pain for a little while
And took a deep, dark look to the other side...

Challengers
battles on, time to go in
killin all yall, wit my pen

anything you can do, i can do better
cause your slow, and im clever
this battle rap, posted up

Premium Member Healing Grief
amazing loving feelings
antidote to pain
arriving in droves
confusing his grief state
his breathing shifts directions
he begins to feel calm

she is at a loss
he has turned to her
words are inadequate
he is beyond repair; his grief acute
she holds on to him with tight arms
not realizing she is healing him with every inch of silence...

Love Me As I Am Now
Can you love me as I am, right now the inadequate? Can you cherish me the 
special? Can you adore me the not so adorable? Can you desire me the 
undesirable?  Therefore, I am asking, can you love me as I am now the loveable. I 
don't want you to love what I might become - my potentials, but just love me as I 
am right now... the unachievable....
