perspective platitude inflicted

projective persona conflicted

LOVE

Love’s sudden mysteries
Is written
 in the
Heart of a woman.
A melody of emotions
 Explodes across
Her face
A diverse portrayal of desire
All of this just to say
“I love you”...

Like an iconoclast -
who desperately wants to remove
the portrayal of a false god
from the mural -
I want to relegate you;
your image from the chapel of my mind.
Oh, how I wish to do this tonight..!...

I sit, eyes open to this portrayal of reality.
I wish to reveal my true self, so I look out
And witness the sights broken with a fine brutality
By those chosen to keep us safe- happy tragedy. 

But seeing without
Does not reveal within....

I shall reinstate my poetry
My words will transfer my deepest sensitiveness
Sharing to every soul and heart
Describing my profound fantasies 
Being my pellucid portrayal
Poetry shall manifest me.

Rest in peace,  Ms. Cicely Tyson
You embodied elegance and grace
Your portrayal of Ms Jane Pittman
was top notch, I bid you farewell

I object your honor
please let me state my case
all of this you are ruling on
is not a true portrayal

before you deem me guilty
you, and a jury of my peers
let me bring further evidence
of how I landed here

what? too late you tell me?
you can't see that I was framed?
my heart gets sent to prison
and I take all of the blame...

You've been a good material,
Though look not magisterial;
Should be above betrayal,
Among men fine portrayal;
For reasons of survival:
Christian Hour Revival...

The big snakes you shall trample
And them display as sample;
Talks about Tree of a god
And dropping at its base cod,
Exchange of cock's life for man's
The shamefullest of help plans....

Through my unending vision,
I look in her eyes to find 
pinks and reds blossom to life
on the bed-sheet of roses that
she, herself had woven by 
tiny threads of the vivid art 
her soul couldn’t express, 
but all her heart goes to 
a rose shrinking in a corner- 
A flower deprived of water and sun
had been longing for too long to
belong somewhere or to someone…...

R-obert Lee Frost was admired for his portrayal
O-f nature to analyze themes that were social; 
B-ecame an honoree of Pulitzer prizes, 
E-zra Pound had helped him to publish his verses; 
R-eal brilliance of his work was hardest to be lost, 
T-he best rural life poet was Robert Lee Frost.

True comedic talent was something nobody could deny.
I thought he did a marvelous portrayal of “Popeye”.
However, Mork from Ork has gone and said goodbye.
Your long-time friend is no longer around, Mindy.
He had a true gift of acting and comedy.
The man took his own life, and is now part of history.
This world may not have been good enough for one as he.

Pretty blossoms bloom
Cast the floral room
Scented fragrance grooms


Pastel tints and shades
Perfumes on parade
Smells of mix charades


Poignant portrayal
In sweet pastoral
Such vivid florals


Precious moments here
Sparkle with fond cheer
Brilliant colours steer


Private affair flings
Aligns a sure thing
Blossoms rise to sing

On her face the portrayal:
Was undeserved betrayal:
While resting in mortuary;
Later in her obituary.
But her photo had come first:
A scream-it-to-The World thirst.
 
But I have my own challenge:
What would finding a thing change?
Lies that could break a strong heart:
She’d shoplifted in a mart?
Or whisper desultory
Alleging adultery
“Man had been a betrayer,
Her face ‘not First Soothsayer…”...

Man and woman, one in the same, 
Beseeching seductions, provisions, and prosperous name.
Some may face struggle, while others maintain reign.
Quagmires discharged, with little to gain.  
Although impressive, a lifetime of masculine praise 
 does not surpass the mental struggle in which females prevail,
So please preform arrogant mussel portrayal,
 but I double-dog dare you to not go insane, 
 when beaten by father, and absent mother’s place blame....

Ooze be reality upon the page

Betwixt the courtship of pen and paper

Reveries aid in sustaining spare sage

Refrain he must from such foolish capers



As cyclical evidence he distributes

Yearning to establish a solid voice

Such fervent vocals shan't be silenced mute

Quite a conscious, yet such a wise choice



Devil's dearest a portrayal inclined

Gambling upon his impending death wish

Deeming his existence as asinine

Within spooky graveyards he shall relish...

Eucalyptus
Amidst those scorching rays,
Standing tall; limbs high up,
Waving, not caring to disrupt.
Roots, busy finding their ways,
Shallow inside flimsy ground.
Inner serenity, not corrupting
When the reflection of bearing
No fruits is taken into account.
Alive to the pneuma of its life,
Laying in essence of its leaves.
Bane of its longevity, still eased,
Pull of timber want, on the rise.
Mere portrayal of more than just 
 A giving empire, meant to be cut…...
