Narcissism

you 
   me
     you 
       me 

  who do you choose
     tis' it vanity
   

   you
     you
       you
         never me


Neighborhood Narcissist

Engagement is tempting,
But ignoring them
Is far better,
They’ll probably
Find new victims,
Yet with time,
Light crushes darkness.

Defcon 1

Weapons grade narcissism,
 nuclear results

Fallout clear, scorching dear
—free speech its main assault

Narcissism and Low Esteem

Preferable to  have controlled narcissism
     than having low esteem...
     Controlled we can perform
     merit things... low esteemed,
     we are useless to ourselves... !

Nothing embarrassing have I ever done
Nothing stupid or silly under the sun
Never my own horn did I toot
My perfection you can't dispute
I've out lived everybody who could tell anyone

Premium Member A Parable of Pretence

lies
and excuses
await:
narcissism
         sees itself...
no one else
exists:
ego
emits
pre-occupation-
admits
nothing
up close
myopia
        passes by
without seeing
the obvious...

The Paraclete

As believing Christians doubt
errantly forgetting God,
He intercedes judiciously,  
kindling love mid narcissism.
Our Paraclete,
quenchable, resident Spirit,
teaches us vital wisdom  
xenolith, yokefellow, zealot.

Narcissism

It’s all about Me!
This shall always be my wish—
A fool’s vanity . . . 
	Thinking of only me . . . me! 
I’m so wondrously perfect!

Premium Member It Is Not Narcissism His Mommy Said

I do not think Gabe’s obsession is narcissism his mother said.
I wondered if she had more than bones and flesh in her teensy head.
He has been laying prone on a smooth reflection pool.
Looking at himself for two years, like some weird ignorant ghoul.

Extremes

Knowledge, freedom, acceptance
Ignorance, subjugation, resistance
The extremes of our existence

Caring, loving, devotion
Insensitivity, hate, revulsion
The extremes of our emotion

Faith, repentance, salvation
Disbelief, narcissism, damnation
The extremes of our creation

Vanity's Ghost

The narcissism
  of small differences…

The egos crown
  of thorns

The sharper each
  individual barb

The more frequently
  it’s worn

A grand
  pontification

Whose wind
  blows just one way

Into the face of
  vanity’s ghost

In jealous
  —disarray

Confessional Hurt

Holding the ladder
I was hungry
looking at the waiting dawn.

Raw landscape:
narcissism
forages the belly.

Picking up the figs 
from passion flowers.
Is that right ?

Can you sow the seeds
on a cloud ?
Unclothed words ?

Stealthily
a guerilla smashes
a summary of centre.

A falconer
releases a prey
to feed an anarchy.

Where Is She

Alone
I turn in bed
Face,
The empty space.
The warmth is
Gone.
A light that shone
And blinded
My fears.
Staring
Knives for eyes,
They rip my soul,
Apart.
Warmth,
Where are you?
Not enough…
Anything?

No texts or calls,
Even emails.
Put lamar
On,
And sink,
Back into time.
Narcissism,
Thy name is
Poetry.
Im all
I have.
I write
So
I know i
Exist.

Speak to me in words I understand.
Don’t let pompous attitude embroiled
With your intellectual narcissism
Cause you to judge my words with disdain
Because I write with veracity and simplicity.
Humility has such rich virtue,
And when all material matter
Is spent, is what will be remembered.
There is such evidence left by
Humble poets in their timeless poetry.

Premium Member There's No Place Like ---

So many ways to spend my day
     texting, twittering, tweeting

   On TikTok when I'm not meeting
     in a Chat Room or on Zoom

   There's Linked-In and Facebook
     Meta and Google

   Self-promotion and narcissism galore
     A thousand ways to trumpet my bugle

   Yet the very best place I've found me
     ~ is where your loving arms surround me

Glitches

It was more than
I could take.
The phallic paranoia.

Can I come out of 
your body and kneel
before death ?

Less than dark
I dream of the nipples
spurting out venom.

A pumice raft
of the crowd, sailing
on the waves of narcissism.

Invisible sharks
on high seas
open the lambs for salt.

Can you eat your
words please ?
There is nothing left on the plate.

Mirrored Mirrors

Dreamily
she prances and preens as she floats,
paces the gleaming tiled floor,
admiring

images
of her other self, they seem so real,
yet quite surreal in soft, liquid
light,

reflections
on crystal facets, on mirrored prisms
of a glass closet exclusively
designed

for those
with galloping narcissism to pander to,
those awed and swept off the floor by
themselves.

Narcissists

A hermit without a shell is a
weak, pitiful creature.
It wonders alone for onlookers to
moisturise their naked skin with 
empty tears.
They feel no shame when mocked 
for their fetishized strife;
flagrantly flailing their flaking skin
to justify their tantrums.
The terror and turmoil that it sheds 
plagues even those passingly amused.
Until we are all naked, afraid and alone.

Heavy Wings

Lonely birds of our time
Took off from the tarted lands 
of narcissism and neglect alike

Flapping wings to no rhyme 
Struggle over the low grounds
In depravity and high self spite

When the mountains rise high
The cheery lot from nice homes
Put their merry hearts in it and fly

Lonely birds dread the climb 
For their souls are scared and hearts beat up
And bearly hold any life

Premium Member What's One To Do

What's one to do when right tight finances
prevent travel, tipping and hot ballroom dances?

What's one to do when bureaucracy’s failures
bind innocent hours of time seeking court's favor?

What's one to do when the men who seem sweet
are encumbered by narcissism, women or weed?

Meditation and prayer move when weekdays provoke...
Friday night hot bath, red wine, chill jams. Let's get soaked!

Premium Member Whitehouse Narcotics

I'm hearing considerable chatter about patriarchal narcissism,
which is, indeed, absorbing and darkly fascinating;

But, I do wish we could invest at least twice as much energy
on analyzing therapeutic potential
of ecofeminist compassion,
re-synchronizing Time's sacred-secular co-investments
re-combining healthy bicameral minds
re-linking wealthy co-passionate bodies,
domestic
and external.

Beatbox of a Satanist

Is the occultist aware she’s daring,
That she carries the shadiest orifice?
No.
She just defecates and scars remain.


Akin to the likes of an unmarketable comedian:
passion on one side, narcissism on the other.
‘Twas unforeseen.


Enemies working together,
Exchanging callous banknotes.


No one had foreseen this.


Eventually, she’ll cripple
from depositing and withdrawing.
But no one knows.
No one can ever know.
