Am I ugly?...

Narcissism,
A desire to be wise;
Disguise egos  veiled in our
Conceit....

Narcissism's a traction
for doing what I do.
And making others think I'm right
from other points of view....

The custody evaluator’s
Grand plan,
Playing God with
Other people’s lives,
What could
Possibly go wrong....

A serpent with a lion's head
Believes himself a lion
He'll never raise his lowly tread
But kudos, kid, for tryin'....

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

Weapons grade narcissism,
 nuclear results

Fallout clear, scorching dear
—free speech its main assault

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...

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......

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!

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....

a confessional
                 age
in the culture
of 
  narcissism

sub-conscious
               & disguised
ubiquitous
sits 
   the selfie-soul

overshadowed
by
obsession

   making

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

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

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)...

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.

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....

Sons and daughters
Mothers and fathers
Even if it bothers ya
to think about it..

The only person
you're guaranteed to live with
twenty-four seven
is your own self.

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...

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.

"I bet it bothers you that at my weakest,  
I am still stronger than you."   

                                                                     
This quote is widely spread
may have been said first by Nero.
Winded by narcissism,
this squall might rank - EF-0
Weakened by arrogance, it does no damage
compare it to the Spanish dinero.
obsolete!

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....
