Short Mace Poems

After you pass our barbwire gates
Welcome to the United States!
A non-white face
Gets sprayed with Mace
But if you have cash, we'll be mates!...

Screaming so quietly.
Suffering silently.
walking around with a smile on my 
face.
But my insides covered in mace.
crying in pain
but only hoping in vain....

Strong whiskey got me cock-eye drunk
Caused me to fall in a batch of raw conch
They were stuck to my face
And was sprayed with strong mace
Then they called me a scary a_ _ punk...

Across the crowded room I saw your face,
I watched you as you walked around the place,
but while my peepers glared
you looked mighty damned scared...
Whoa, lady! There's no reason to spray mace!...

Elderly snail man with a wrinkled body and face
You are aging out fast, without delicacy or grace
Your eyes are squinty now as if they are full of mace.
At least the old women in the complex no longer give chase....

Move over and give me some space
Too tight is your strangling embrace
I am suffocating

I’d hate to have to buy some mace
Spray it in your possessive face
Loving turns to hating

The Irish pipe band played Amazing Grace 
Their drum major showed his skills with the mace
In the air he threw it
But misjudged and blew it
When it came down and hit him in the face...

ME: "Can't you feel the chemistry?
Don't you feel that strong connection between you and me?"
SHE: "There is no chemistry.
I feel absolutely no connection between you and me,
but I do feel Mace in my hand, cocked, loaded and ready."...

It's been a while since I've shown my face
Please, don't get out the Mace
You look at me with such fright
Well maybe you have the right
For you see, 
In my rush to get here
I left my clothes all at home

Enjoy the show
One and all...

Ominous dawn murderous day
warhorse hooves defeated flay

Mace and axe steel to bone
vacant eyes face of stone

Natures tears from mothers eyes
never these loins a son will rise

Courage worn in tattered skin
ashes to ashes as all begin

Pointy, the pig rider came around the corner with a screech.
He was sitting at the top of the zebra bowls, his whip was a reach.
Why does he always have to outdo the rest of us? Asked Mr. Mace.
Angry now because Poindy and the bowls were winning the race....

Did he have to toss me out here? 
Alleys are not comfortable places to be dumped off.
Noting a bad feeling, I keep my mace close. 
Gory things happen to those who are unaware. 
Even if I cannot see someone, I sense them. 
Reacting to my fear, I keep my back bristled....

Face Problem Painting Face

problem painting face
finger on I cannot place
(name of person hard to place)
will have to erase
(then removed each trace)
(myself had to brace)
(must remove with MACE)

for God up gearing
He is always worth hearing
my twilight nearing...

Crazy looney ugly bug face.
Lazy, croony juggly mug race.
Daisy June-y muggly hug mace
Hazy, moony huggly rug chase.

Playing with words is so much fun.
I like them to prance from sun to sun.
Thrill of poetry writing  is never done.
Crazy looney ugly bug face has won....

The aliens have
 landed
in your back yard
They want to
take you with them
to another
dimension
they say
they love
your brain
and want to
conduct
experiments
You have 
5 minutes
to pack
What would 
you
take with you
Or would you
Mace them
in the face
and call 911...

King upon a cross, 
And forgotten gods displaced. 
Former ways made false, 
And new doctrines are embraced, 
Or enforced by sword and mace. 

Jesus was a Jew, 
But his features were defaced. 
Eyes were painted blue; 
Olive skin had been replaced, 
By the hue of my own race....

His love for her required a reveal
But to her though he had no appeal
Then a quick kiss
On her pink lips
And the stolen kiss sealed the deal!

The action sparked an embrace
He was lucky that was the case
With the wrong spark
It could get dark
He might have had mace in the face!...

  The noise and the grime
    the mushrooming crime
  junkies and beggars abound

  Strange folks in your face
    steal your car, spray some mace
  Who wants to vacation downtown ...
  
  This year I'll cede culture
    to the buzzard and vulture
  as in soft meadows I lie

Scalding hot
The melting pot
City slickers
With knotted knickers
Traffic jams
Slaughter of lambs
Put up a fight
Speed of light
Amidst the rat race
Within reach a can of mace
Keeping up
Got bumped up
Then retired
Just got too tired

Blood clings to my face, my heart starts to race
Couldn't grab my mace, I thought you were my Ace
Nothing looked out of place, inside I pace
I wore my lace ,you left without a trace
You threw a glass vase , I’m in outer space
Why the briefcase? And why did we embrace?

Does a wearer of lace
Run a wild breathless race
And still radiate True Grace
Or of prudence show trace?
And does he keep up face
linked with Dignified Pace?
Senator off with mace
And it triggers no case
Or him not cost his place?

Never shall rash action
Sparking off reaction
And pour interaction
Favor any faction....

She meets me
in a Coliseum
wearing an iron bra
and the chastity belt.

Blindfolded and veiled,
She carries a bullwhip
in one hand and
a spiked mace in the other;

"Do you feel lucky tonight?"
She asks me lovingly,
"Well, do you, dear?"

I espied a young roach
As he did encroach
Upon a spot I call my place
I gunned him with some mace

In madness he did flee
Into a hole I could not see
Twas assumed death was his fate
Yet he had only gone to mate

And so I sit where I still live
Viewing the territory I did give
Unto this most clever foe
And his multitudes born below...

Chameleon eyes of fear pinned beneath her writer's face  
is it Sophie's one demise when she writes and doesn't blink    
As the fertile seed of doubt arrives like pepper scented mace   
fear is the only slinking cat alive beneath her scented ink

Drowning in disgrace
Shame faced
Denying Christ again & again
Falling into sin
Carried by the wind
I send the pain below
Deep down into the undergrowth.

Like a moth attracted to a flame
Lame, I'm mangled with regret
I forfeit the race to become a mace
Disfiguring my face
I stand disgraced
Longing for a place
Finding God in my brokenness....
