Afraid, Buts, Cautious
Destroys Everything, Failure?
God? Happiness? Imprisoned
Jackass? Killer, Life?
Monotonous, Nothing? 

Options, Power, Quest!
Understanding, Voice! Witness...

The new is always a novelty,
the old just a page in history.

Yet nothing is really changing,
just this tired world spinning.

Life is one monotonous grind,
a drag on this restless mind....

A continuous haze covers
my monotonous days, thickly
spreading layers over feelings
well-felt.
	Pretty birds fly by, choke
and sink to the ground, eyes
crossed, beaks open, the death a
sacrifice for my ongoing oblivion....

I am 
me because that's
the way God crafted me.
God created each one unique
so that our life is not monotonous.
I stand speechless in front of this
bountiful love. God is
amazing. So 
am I

Wondered sky tied up
the death at  last,
the murmur of rain has stopped
and dim light of a melancholic star
touched me and became gradually monotonous with sadness.
The unfinished poem therefore melts in the dew
and covered  the horizon....

Tell me... what prolific wonders do those vinous lips hold?
As I gaze upon the cherry lipstick, I sense a hint of blood
Show me the wounds, and savor it's bitter flavor
Tasteless...dull, monotonous, yet addictive
Evermore do I long for the taste of such vinous lips...

I swear I wouldn’t wear a smirk 
if I lost the errands that lurk;
No need for an adult style quirk;
I’d rather work; I’d rather work;

Give me a monotonous day 
I will clock in without delay;
It may seem bizarre that’s okay;
I’ll take cliche’; I’ll take cliche’....

Dulled by years
  a sense of touch
a stream of tears
  nothing left, I feared

monotonous as weather
  days melding together
no markers between
  feasts of shoe leather...

you tip-toed stealthily
  probing a hole in my armor
set me a-tingling magically
  ruby lips enchanting me...

You pompous poison

Maze of monotonous mistrust

Frail heart full of treason

 

Delirious repentance

Blasphemous bait betrayed

Regret grown grief

 

Fire flaming fantasy filled

A fate framed future foretold

Love can now rest knowing

Your destined diabolical death

Farewell false foe

The estrangement of
a cruising day,
plodding onto the 
dormant senses.

Ancestral musings
strewn with monotonous
contours, 
faded into crevices 
of streaming melancholy.

Smudged against the
sugary tea,
dripping hair,
soiled feet,
the erroneous space between,
the cuckoo sang 
better....

Think of the grasshopper
And of the ant
Having fun and game
And hating each other
For a lifetime

Dream of the virgin serpent
Cutting its path thru’ rock
As the natives 
Put their flock to pasture

Then wake up
To the strength 
Endurance
And intelligence
Of the jungle
In its monotonous rhythm
Of decadence....

foot deep stuck in the muddy waters of society....
head still high.

throat choked with the monotonous choruses of life...
voice still firm.

arms twisted,bend and broken.........
determination still unmatched.

betrayed again and again by destiny......
faith still unquestioned.

LEAD LADY.LEAD ON....

Staring...
at its monotonous face,
Waiting...
tick...tick...
Staring,
at anything 
but the
puke brown
hospital gown.
Tick. 
Wish I were there.
Imagine,
and jump!
tick... But it's behind me,
strolling on clouds of green,
in a breathtaking gown,
Hello... my name is Dr...
But I'm beyond them now....

A familiar sunshine
Fragile grins and warm hugs
Wilting trees
A shifting decade

It starts to rain
Strange conversations unnecessary
Youth decayed and childhood dismantled
A slow shadow play towards the end

Crippling wind
Monotonous basics
My Truth is an anomaly
In the end, we are all a dying story....

I sing because I have changed up my day.
I laugh because I am a different woman.
Every day was the same, monotonous.
Every day, a pattern of lethargic resign-ment-of-sameness.
Making me feel dull.
Irritated me.
Not today.
I changed it all up.
Today I am happy!
Today I am powerful.
Today I am new.
Today I sing!...

This open field calling me
with the dancing breeze
by the golden sunlight flow

Unknown tone of the child clouds
greeting to shadow
to care monotonous mind

Friendship with poetic words
making the green heart
to bring eternal freedom

This populous city now
palace of freshness
where poetry flies with air

When enveloped within her caress
One will have come to master the conception
That blackness isn’t as careless as she seems

Murmuring monotonous nocturnes
To inaugurate safety
And endorse loyalty

Now it is not entirely certain
Whether such knowledge
Is deemed fallacious or authoritative
Though does there exist a plausible reason
For such subjective musings?...

Sometimes it seems that the rain 
Understands you better 
Than your friends

You look up into its trickles 
Drawn to that gray space, in a daze
And hear the monotonous tapping
Like a lesson repeated 
By your childhood teacher
  
The rain understands you 
Better than people 

Without its sadness
Life would be only 
A shameless coquette 
In a cabaret...

I am unsure of what to do
I'm speechless
I feel so isolated
I am unsure of where to find help

I'm very confused
I have no idea where I went wrong
My life seems monotonous
I can get a little exasperated sometimes

I am hopeful to find someone new
I've been emotional... I guess life moves on
The situation was painful
I am in need of talking to someone new...

A monotonous cacophony
Of droning moans,
Makes my ears cry for,
Melodious tones,
This torture continues without abate,
Till there’s no more that I can possibly take.
Music should be something,
About which I care,
Not a growl that makes me pull out my hair.
But if this insipid groan,
Must continually assault my ear,
I pray my hearing will soon disappear.

Drudgery


Monday I’m groggy
Want to stay in my bed

Tuesday’s a bit better 
But wish I were dead

Wednesday is hump day
I don’t care one single bit

Thursday’s pre-Friday 
And I’m ready to quit

Friday drags on
I need a few beers

Saturday’s cheerful
No need to shed tears

Sunday’s much needed 
Off early to bed 

‘Twas a long week
There’s another ahead...

From somewhere the beat of drums
Steady rhythms piercing my senses
Persistently thump, thumping a bass
Thump, thump, thump, thumping
Behind unimaginably monotonous lyrics
And I longed for a crooner like Sinatra
Center stage with a single spotlight
No flashing strobes or crystal disco balls
Or pounding migraine made to order
