Short Intending Poems

On his left and right,
The first two ninjas attack,
Intending to kill.
Afro takes a swing,
And the head of one ninja
Comes completely off....

As one freshly released from Bedlam
He asked her, intending no harm
"Can I kiss you madam"?
As if he were her Adam
Her fist fell on his cheek ‘dum’ ‘dum’!...

not
walking
in my sleep

but
waking
i take a pee

and
making
my way back

to bed
intending
but instead

get
sidetracked
a very horrible accident...

Do not shine a light that'll catch my eyes,
Do not arrive, intending to leave a smoke.
Do not swear to me such beautiful lies,
Don't smile if it's my heart you're going to provoke....

Two
Seems as bedrock
Of knowing..
Of stories and
Life as known..
All words express
Two..even those 
Words intending to
Express not-two..
Swirling expressions 
Of inescapable 
Not-knowing......

the insects, 
on their own,
in the air,
fly one after the other
intending to live their day lives;
After them fly birds 
until the day gets dark,
and then bats 
No time for the insects to have a rest...

Chasing
certain moments
through my mind

  Seeking
unique love
a special kind

  Uncovering
past thoughts
hurtful feelings
not intending to find

  Hiding
broken images
captured your soul
made me blind...

On her unfortunate face,
Expanding with grace;
A tyrant of a pimple,
Looking to be simple…
But with cohorts, an ample,
Intending her young skin to rumple
And her peace crumple:
All- too- overshadowed her dimple....

Snowy week, the weather reports.
Knowing it will bring out the best,
I head to the slopes with my cohorts
Intending to be first to the crest.
Not all can know the exquisite exhilaration
Generated by that delicious flying sensation!...

Conscious contemplative Concentration…
Thankfulness thwarts thinking
From fracturing factual freedom…
Practice personal peace pausing
Daily doing deeds
Intending igniting illumination
Transforms time to timeless
Building beautiful beings…...

Trump A Lousy President

Without our consent,
Have a lousy president;
So much money spent.

Had been intending,
Economy descending;
Him apprehending.

Need another crutch
We lived and have learned so much;
When dating go Dutch.

I have battened down the 
saturated hatches
which were dampened
while waiting for
your impending storm.

Intending no harm,
you passed by quietly
and I needn't have
worried none...

yet damage was 
somehow still done
by the force of a gale
that was experienced
by only one....

Satin Doll Diva
Born to achieve - AH!
A Leo, a fierce Lioness,

A tiny, tempting treat
Spellbinding ... Unique,
A magical spirit, a sweet Poetess,

Love writing poetry
Give me my symmatry,
Verses and phrases design,

THAT Satin Doll Diva
Intending to weave - AH!
Poems and friendships all mine....

Original slices of fine white bread, 
cut into the humans figure, 
organs built from rusted bolts an stories untold
true dilemma, 
when fabricating this mish mash of broken souls, 
but yet did this creation survive, 
living not intending to die, 
I am the creation of forgery, 
Probably why, 
these visions are lying to me....

A Harmless Creature is the Ant,
   Until it crawls inside your pant,
Or invites itself to your picnic table,
   Intending your little picnic to disable.  

And of course, there's always the kitchen floor
   That it ruins in waves of "zillions more." 
Yes, a harmless creature is the ant,
   ---As harmless as a nuclear power plant....

The last organ grinder played a blinder
Intending to leave folk a reminder
To music upbeat
All those in the street
Did a conga to “Eye of the Tiger.”

It was the close of a splendid career 
The organ grinder shed many a tear
As the music died 
He swelled up with pride 
For the crowd gave him uproarious cheer....

I brought giant fur cats,
the perfect home remedy intending to cheat
nasty rats.

More wicked games
and they simply refused to eat,
wrong flames!

What vice!
Cats would not beat
mice.

I brought giant fur cats
and they simply refused to eat
mice.

I woke, a dream I’d had, 
me a student, an exam!
in sleepy haze, said to my wife,
“turn over  I’ll begin,” 
1.
the hard question, family, 
money and future; wrote notes 
upon her feet, intending to return, 
the question to complete

2.
the easiest by far, I  answered right
away; and on her resting lips I wrote,
“yes, always, every day.”...

Whispery trickster
Hopping along between the rabbit holes
Ill intending wolf pups smitten
Tempting with poisonous treats
Eaten by pups longing for sweets
Rendering the young helpless
Along the riverbank shore
Beckoning to their naive soul
Bringing them to a place unknown
Intending to lead them to their doom
Taking control of the predators of their own...

A poem that flows will soothe the ear
Carefully chosen words move it along
The poet’s soul those voices you hear
A poem that flows will soothe the ear
Without intending brings forth a tear
Words like lyrics to a special love song
A poem that flows will soothe the ear
Carefully chosen words move it along.

Took a walk over to 
     the small park 
Near my home 
   Sparrows hopping on the ground 
and squirrels running by 
    Brought some books 
along with me 
 intending to relax 
   but nature drew me 
and I watched  the sparrow 
   and the squirrel 
They are alive!
I am alive !
A spring day on New York's 
   Lower East Side 
  later on - A Memorial Day banquet
Looking forward........

even with an upturned boulder
sitting solid like Gibraltar
the blazing fire 
has not been quenched
Too many pails
have been drenched,
punctured and patched 
while drawing out water
to douse this blazing fire
from raging into a fiery sun
blistering the skin
scorching the minds
while intending 
to obliterate the soul
making the man meaningless
because of your own dark souls...

Arising from my humble 
     home 
  on the Lower East Side
I send out my messages 
      Intending to trouble the "wise and the great"
  with my words 
Icy winds will soon 
     be blowing here 
  but the words keep coming 
They - As I said - are reaching the brains 
    of the "wise and the great" 
    What impact they will have 
   is known to 
none
   Once you are out there 
you are "EXPOSED"...

Two scruffy pirates picked me up.
Intending to toss me overboard.
I weighed too much; they were struggling.
True.
They needed to lighten their load.
But I was not going easy.
I purposefully got heavier.
"She is flotsom," the tall fat one said.
"Jetsam," the dumb ugly one argued.
"Let's get a dictionary," I said. "Let's do this right."
This gave me a few more days,
as there were no books on this ship....
