Premium Member Mismatched Romance

she craves to live with passion
he wants to douse her fire
       this won't end well



AP: Honorable Mention 2020


Poetry Soup

The lovely poetry soup
A mismatch of all sorts of folk

But still nice
Expressing 
Beautiful struggling endeavours
Good and bad

Bad that’s me

Premium Member Funny Mismatch

She's too short and he's too tall
When they kiss, their braces mix
Hard to untangle, twisting
Smiling, they giggle.

people are falling from the sky
smog in the air and they can't fly
wearing tattered mismatch rags
they wallow in plastic bags,
waste, and rubbish remains piled high

Life that just looks good on the outside- 
                                        may not be so on the inside.

Premium Member Tone of Voice

rising from a trembling heart
sadness wells up in the vacant eyes
and the tone of voice
that never lies.

Premium Member A Perfect Mismatch

He couldn't stand her temper tirades
   She ranted and raved about bills left unpaid

A tragic couple they were, a perfect mismatch ~
   Their marriage contract containing no escape hatch

Parallels Lines

It's desperate
       compare our love
       as  parallels lines!
       The lines meet only
       in the infinite ...
       Infinity expands
       and increases the mismatch
       the goals, the straights ...!

Our Love Parallel Lines

It's desperate to
       compare our love
       with straight parallels!
       The lines only meet
       in infinity...
       infinity expands
       and increases the mismatch
       the goals, the straights...!

Parallel Lines

It's desperate
       compare our love
       with parallel lines !
       The lines meet only
       in the infinite,
       Infinity expands
       and increases the mismatch
       of goals, straight lines,
       and love ...!

love bridges vibrational mismatch without employing use of force wielding power ethereal it’s our sole resource spiritual heart hums toroidal force compelling yet it is a bliss mist so gentle ascension of our soul foretelling

Premium Member Drama

Stroke silly pokes
Such heavy yokes


Noise by vain choice
Hurls hurting choice


Meet odd mismatch
In vulgar sketch


In broken fest
Drama works best


Not much to say
Where moments slay

Premium Member vision mismatch

why do we opt to trauma bond
with whims of relatives
when their expectations
are both selfish and irrational 
and inconvenient to comply with

we should not
yet we tend to do
signalling bondage 
to an imaginary script
we really do not need to follow

Premium Member Zen mode

ripples in an anticipated sequence
in as a mismatch in time
if causing thoughts to go viral
are quietened betwixt bliss beat’s chime

such facilitations that are granted
require our eye to be single
that turbid winds impact not the flame
in heart of Self where pheromones mingle

Premium Member Estranged

vibrational mismatch
attains escape velocity
burning bridges of love

in the womb of existence
yearnings of love yet await
return of the prodigal son

two ships cross in the ocean
mixed emotions arise
on reality of separation 
and possibility of union
as ordained in timeless time

Poetic Monologue

With my restless eyes,
with my troubled eyes
I wait for the visit of the magic bird
that won't land on my window..
But with an enchanted mind
I describe this mismatch
in possible poetry...
I live thus in peeking beat
capturing impossible images
with poetic look
that God gave me..."

Poet and Poetry

No poet
it's so much that
doesn't fit
in the verses
no poem
it's so much to be
single
therefore...
Every poem
it's never plural
even in a thousand
corners.
No poem
it's so complete that
does not show
mismatch...
no poet
is so poor that
does not
remains a little,
a bit of inspiration... !

Premium Member Abandon

The light bulb absolved its flickering duty

Bayonet stuck in the depth of despair

‘Screw you’ but the mismatch prevailed


Life takes a psychic but the medium is fraught

The planet a stroboscope for fits of illusion

She severed the cord and turned on the gas


Shadow play and the pantomime was over

Premium Member The Elements Force

The force of water
causes you not to stand
the wind takes you off your feet
nothing like you planned

No human can hold it back
the elements of force
we are a helpless bunch
forced to leave it to it's course

This does truly humble us
we are not anything like a match
for power leaves us behind
this is such a mismatch

Premium Member ENTRAPMENT-

central billing equal ceilings tapestry of environmental surges kaleidoscope of colors blurred mismatch on its way it's a rehearsal for dynasties tragedies I am eloquent for the disasters, that lies before me man who am I to stand in the way of clemencies-entrapmemt

Antagonism

Dawn again,
novel day of the century...
I await your return
for over a millennium...
I squeeze the longing in my chest,
my intimate decomposes
the soul thinks
my heart drowns me...
food getting cold
your reheated steak...
I call your name,
despair resigned...
You don't come, neither
send message...
My insides turned...
I realize you don't feel desires,
and you're not hungry!

Silly Sentimentality

First, an uneasy silence,
         then a definite maybe;
I hope it's just tipping
         the first domino for me;

perhaps I misunderstand,
         so I won't miscalculate;
she might not give her hand,
         but then it might be too late;

feeling ridiculous and silly,
         I fight off this stupid anxiety,
but I'm a mismatch against
        old-fashioned sentimentality!

Premium Member Mismatch Jed

Have you ever met the troll 
That lives beneath your bed?
He really is a silly chap,
His name is Mismatch Jed.

His favorite thing to do at night 
Is steal one of your socks.
Then sneak back to his hidey-hole
And stash it in a box.

So when you just can’t find the match
to the sock you want to wear,
You’ll know that Mismatch Jed’s been by 
…just choose a different pair.

Love Mismatch

Our parallel lives never crossed
Love like this, a Paradise Lost
Together but never quite in sync
You never knew how bad I felt

You had me always fighting fires
Which left me drained of all desire
I used to take my cues from you
But now delight in things I do

Life is calmer, I feel at peace
Now that I’m beyond your reach
To think I thought you such a catch
Blinded by our total mismatch

Shoes Steps Life

With heeled shoes
no false starts
no mismatch
safe steps.
Between my flat shoes
and your high shoes,
a lifetime for us
to hit the pitch...
Between you and me,
a long journey.
Between us and eternity
an exercise of steps
with no shoes ...
Shoes are gone,
but life passes
and it's not over ...
It's that with our inaccurate
steps  we do not need
shoes ...
We need living
but life is imprecise
without our steps... !
