Anything,everything

This is me, no pretensions, or put-ons
Take me, squeeze me, slather my lower echelons
May detect a wee whimper
Now here comes the clincher
Will sing our national anthem with timbre...

The Retiring Professor: First Lines
“Seventy-four is about apology,” said Ferdy.
“Well apology and memory.
If you have literary pretensions, it's about
apology and narrative.”
Ferdy's class sat there dumfounded.
This was a little different from the usual class.
“The only question left is
how much apology is needed? when can one let up?”...

Love's Intended
On dreary days, I seldom wake
for deepest dreams arise opaque
and multitudes of fiends ascend
dispatching poems, I've just penned.
In vain I hide inside my end
upon a prayer, I make amends,
for all pretensions once defended
are quiet now, I'm Love's intended.
The dream has turned and I'm awake
and shaking knees no longer quake....

Life Sails With Deceptive Pretensions
Sadness is betimes masked by pretence,
And made to believe that "I am fine".
Anger is disguised by fake smiles,
assuring that "Everything is all right".
Envy is engrossed with curses always
but, externally wishing others "Best of luck".
Emotions are dismally manipulated according to circumstances.

Self Perception
Self Perception`
Our names are written
On the sands of time
Our presence and essence
But winds in the trees
Our hopes and pretensions
Mere idle intentions
Our purpose dependent
On fate’s fickle decrees
Our free will no more than fiction
Self perception but cruel deception
Our presence of no more consequence
Than leaves fluttering
...In the breeze...

Forgiveness
who taught u forgiveness?
that misunderstood flavor
u question my intentions
hidden in my behaviour
i wonder if today will last?
i wonder your religion?
i question your pretensions
i long to be forgiven
everyone is guilty
some just got position
some try not to hurt u
most just never listen
i try not to lie too much
cuz liars never prosper
but sometimes i'm a sinner
i'm kneeling at your altar...

Ballad
Should I Not Be Found Alive
Sty all your bodied waters
And libelous pretensions.
Hang leather headed juries
Beside some tethered eddies.
Drown me down
In new baptismal rivers.
Spread eagle me upon
Some granite black outcroppings.
And let my liver ribbon
From beaks of shadowed ravens.
Let my thigh bones
Fossil on the rocks.
Should I be buried under
When cliffs calf shuddered thunders,
No words of prayer be spoken
Just leave and let me be....

Conference Call
Can I declare a duty poetic,
orating of a love alphabetic?
No honorable intentions,
free-venting my notions…
Escapes in a mere write,
reshaping joys, or spite…
Echoing wordy sashays,
nuances, and mind play…
Calculating mythomania,
elevates to an egomania!
Cast the grandiose delusions aside
Artistry is where pretensions abide…
Like words full of farce,
levitate beautiful scars!

Who Dares
Who Cares?!
They see horrible things happen!
They observe and take no action.
Their sick defense is who cares!?
Let me rephrase it: who dares!?
You stop caring, you stop feeling!
You stop feeling, you lose meaning!
What is life like without meaning?
Worthless, sterile, and demeaning!
What is life like without caring?
What is life like without sharing?
Fake ideals and false pretensions!
Hell incarnate with good intentions!

Verse
tired of wars
I'm sick of being wrong,
and you're being right
in your sick convictions
and your perversions
that are so longing,
for my so called attention,
sucking up to the moderators
with lies and exaggerations
of your coked up stories.
I have better things
than your obsessions,
I would never hurt children
and passion is your obscenely
of your falsified pretensions,
Have I ever been arrested?
I raised as a modern day poet
so admit this is about jealousy........

Rhyme
In Commemoration of Our Defeat
Clinger to the stars
Pulled down by gravity
Beneath are sparrows
Squeeze me to become the warrior
Blindfold me with the darkness
Faze me with pretensions
Shower me with Benjamin
Dry me with ignorance
Kill me with your vocabulary
I’ll bury me with thoughts of you
Let me wear your ring
Wear my weary
We let the seed grow
I water it with tears
Your sunlight is paper
We failed
Throw your hopes up
Veils are for dreamers
Love is the grim reaper
Insensitivity is the winner...
