Short Mockingly Poems

The pendulum swings mockingly, 
Questioning my eternal essence....

I once saw this beautiful bird,

flying in the sky.

It looked down at me mockingly,

as if to say I am free.

I looked back with envy....

There once was a young fellow named Lizzie
The tough guys mockingly called him a sissy
So he carried a bat
And that ended that
No more teasing, he dated a sweet campus missy

Before hitting the first step.

The harlequin turned is grotesque face up to me,

-He had the power to charm or frighten weak souls-

and asked mockingly:

You ready for the play? Poor Fool!

You ready for the rebirth? Poor Fool!...

Silvery chopstick
That kissed by the blue fire
Healed my wound of divine aspire.

Brushed in the fur of the beast,
Smothered my faith to abide
Will my soul subside?

Hot metal gripped in iron clamp,
Thy fury of fortitude of time
Of thy fate mockingly sublime....

Loving a tall guy

Loving a tall guy is not easy
It is as hard as chasing a fox 
When you want to kiss the mouth
It is just the neck you can reach

When you want to see the head 
The clouds laugh at you mockingly
And when you move a bit far away
The wind blows dust into your eyes...

Stylish stilettos stride spaces step upon subliminal step
               
Generate generous glances grasp glittering glamour
    
Entertain eyes entranced with exuberant elegance
            
Made to manoeuvre men’s miniscule mind mockingly

A fraction too feeble they fracture and fail the finicky fall

On my own, there is no way to learn why or when
The wide universe began.

I most surely wish to hear
I cry into the space vacuum

But emptiness not sounding
The ancient universe stays silent

Silent stars seem mockingly
To view me most indifferently

Thus I must ask the only One that knows
His reply I shall praise, “How great thou art!”...

Shadows & Tears

The shadows moved across her face 
mockingly 
as if to show the tears
that they were not a priority –

that they were not needed
little did they know 
that sometimes without tears 
growth is impossible 
'cause you'll remember why 
you cried you will not remember 
the shadows

Some sense the right and wrong
before the right and wrong: An
element of the back of mind? A
tingle of the elusive soul? A good
shaped form, called spirit?~which non
believers mockingly refer to, as
a Gullible's Imaginary Mold! A world
of charity bears positive witness...
while a world of poverty, and
evil, is their counter to our loving
fold.......

We were afraid 
Constantly 
Afraid 
They could 
Kill us at any moment 
For no reason suitable 
For taking a life 
Little food 
Little water 
Little salvation 
Nothing but work 
After all 
Arbeit Macht Frei 
Is what we lived by 
Every day 
Forced to live by it 
To have it mockingly 
Branded into us 
But 
It was all a lie 
We 
Were 
Never. 
Free…...

It flew into my yard one bright autumn day
Reminded me of feelings
Severed sometime back
As the burly tattooed man attended to his chores

“They're beggars of the Earth.
Revolting creatures at that,”
She said mockingly
As the burly tattooed man walked out of the shed

My life began to be renewed once more
“I knew of one that attacked a child,”
The old women said
As the burly tattooed man blew it away...

We spent today, singing of tomorrow,
but tomorrow never came.
With naïve hearts we wrote undying love songs, 
to transient deciduous souls.
We mockingly sat deaf at the foot of wise men’s lectures,
while we barked mute revolutions.
Brains thrashed in dormant bodies,
celebrating enlightened states of nothingness, 
We played with our lives,
the way a child plays with a gun.
And we wasted today, 
singing of tomorrow,
but tomorrow never came....

On that dark and dismal road
 just me and him. 
Inside me, something is screaming  
can you hear me
will you hear me
do you dare me
weird, supernatural aura
intangible, formless
floating there in my gut
scattered butterflies
fluttering 
frenzied
frantic
in a dark deep barrel
there is no escape.
As we pass by each other
he raise his hand,
a threat.
everything within me stopped
silenced by fear
petrified. 
He laughed mockingly
and walked on....

Unfaithful useless utter
Demeaning devoured décor
Violent vicious venom
Mockingly medaling more

Creative cautious coalition 
Against all amidst abate
Struggling sanely satisfied
For a ferocious frigid fate 

Dominate destructive deity 
Proud pacifying past
Loathing lustrous lividity
Fictitiously falling fast

Gallantly ghastly grounded
Remaining reluctantly recluse  
Distance desired deadliness
Amusing agonistic abuse

2020
The sands are running out
falling just outside our grasp
seemingly out of reach,
distant and taunting as they pass.
Closing our eyes we mockingly mourn
these last whimpers of time's fleeting
unrecoverable stolen moments.
Woefully beseeching a fickle god
for relief of our doubts, our fears,
our unanswerable questions
and unanswered prayers.
The grains of life ebb away
uncounted, seeping through
the groping fingers of now.

The farmer said to the cow
Be quiet you old sow
To which she replied
I am not a pig, I am a mooing cow!
He looked at her mockingly
Saying "That is yet to be determined"
She huffed and puffed as he called the butcher.

Whether she was a cow, or a pig or even a one legged chicken
She is now the silent one.

For on the table she sits
A rightful dish along with the haggis
The Fox shall enjoy his menu de la soir
Roasted and basted
Merry Christmas to one and all!...
