Short Privately Poems

Come mortal man 
Comes creating co-creating cautiously 
Competition cleverly contained

Persnickety Phoebe parades pompously
Privately, we make fun where she can’t see
We are kind of mean
Think we are unseen
But Karma comes back indubitably...

Precariously personable 
Privately peeved
Parading pompously
Pronouncing pretty paragraphs
Possibly pretending pompousness

Heaving grey heaven
Dragged over the rooftops 
Like a sullen stale duvet
Beneath a stillness beyond still
Whispering privately 
‘The grey returning’

This time of feeling 
So familiar
Same world, altered mind
Grey sky drifting
Somewhere

Tanka
When utilities 
Are privately owned 
We are prisoners
Caught in a web of avarice
Capitalism gone viral

Senryu 
On the opposite wall
The sun shines bright and summery 
Typical!

Words.
When I speak 
I get lost in the fog of words
When alone 
I can see forever...

People, at least in the modern world,
Have trouble even accepting 
The existence of evil in this world.

But what is the essence of evil 
If not the enslavement of others?
And all around we see that happening
Privately, publicly, and
Even within our own minds.

Fight
Argue
In your home
Never outside
Don't ever discuss
Grudges,Issues,problems 
Of wedded life with people
The compassion might feel soothing
But your story suddenly grows wings
Wash linen privately, mom always says

My best friend
That is what 
I call him
Within in his
Earshot
Privately,
I call him
Something 
Much more 
Intimate:
My Love
Constantly
Admiring
but always
From afar
Always dreaming,
Ever hoping
That one day 
He would 
Return my
Feelings. 
But 'tis
A dream and nothing more...

If I could love you;
 I would 
With just only sincere Brotherhood;
If I could pray for you I shall; 
Openly lien privately withal;
I do my best I shall not digress;
With God for you only I shan't;
That I shall love you oy as a godly brother

Alone, yet in a zone,
consumed by it all.
People forget,
as if,
they are human at all.

Voices, making choices,
spoken without thought.
People regret,
saying or displaying,
they are human at all.

Publicly, they whisper.
As if the place would forget.
Privately, they pray,
for redemption,
being human with faults.

strange arrangements

promising faith but

is feeling different privately

breaking that

is it natural

the right way about it to remain mono

yet so guilty for shattering such things

"what are you thinking?

is that my business?

would you if you weren't with me?"

is overcoming the urge enough

to overcome the shame

Time was once a letter sent
A thinly packaged salutation
Revealing reads and rushes
A content discourse situation

Story lines entwined grapevines
Most privately complicit
A baton passed a relay cast
Too confidential to elicit

Artistic flair in swirling script
Stylish prose self styled emphatic
A photographic written pose
Of diatonic scale chromatic...

This dance says it all, hatred and anger, 
Because Every Breath You Take I’ll stare, 
I’ll sing it while i dance so you remember, 
That before you sexually abuse, you tare. 

Tare into yourself if you have to, go on, 
Accept humiliation privately or else suffer, 
Derision publicly with glares from everyone, 
Who put me up somewhat with their confer.

New Poem Old Poet

I stand again facing the eternal west.
I am an old dude now and,
I miss the western sunsets on Hoover Street.
Those bright orange never-ending endings,
Presenting themselves again like hovering waiters,
Carrying trays of bottled heart-quenchers.
Life is the hat check girl in little orange cap.
When the lights are low,
She steps away privately to dance....

hate, like flames in someone's eyes,
anger which  makes you want to hurt,
vexation provoked by fury,
and fury held inside.


The state of being annoyed,
displeasure arouse by grievance,
a taste of bitterness caused by outrage,
and outrage  internally kept.


maddening violence
aggravated by exasperation,
indignation evoked by irritation
and irritation born privately....

 The feelings for you makes me lovesick sometimes,
missing the lovey-dovey we had.
Remembering the passion of our past times.
UHHH! Makes me go mad!
The dreamy eyes of yours,
leaves me in an infatuation.
It's like you break all my doors,
and conquer my nation.
Your attractiveness gets me so captivated.
The romance you showed me privately,
is just overrated! ...

SOME thoughts are daggers
as others are kisses
while hugs are squeezed
to contain BURSTING
joy; ...my privately confessed 
delusions -->.  God pleasure return
my m i n d \.  THESE pesterous
Cherubs sending L oVE 
air mailed / i delightfully collect
their stamps for the golden saliva
by cherubic artist can visit me
post return of my comatic brain.

Know the Truth

Know the truth, I am not alright
I am stuck in the dark of night
Smile and laughter on the outside show
Hiding the pain inside I privately know
Words left unspoken of the things I need to say
Grief in my heart to bare I just can’t find away
My soul is gripped with sadness
My heart filled with despair
How and where do I began to make the repair

Today, I remember
Today, I suffer privately
I go through this pain of loss one year ago, today
Losing her to the enemy of death
Gone from me, from us, never to be seen again

Today, I remember
Today, I suffer
The loss of my dearest and sweet mom
Her voice, our talks, her comforting words, her smile

Today, I remember
Today, I suffer
Love you endlessly.

Why for we seem so wise
yet act so foolishly;
Why so we create laws
for others to follow
saying,look I know best
forb those other fellows;
It's for your greater good
shape up,hera what I say,
It's much the better way;
I've given this some thought
(but not as much as I ought);
What about me, you say?
What I do privately
is,not for you to see;

Why for we seem so wise
yet act so foolishly;...

The sapphire blue of the sky
Beyond the mountains, reaching high,
Is mirrored in the lake below.
A serene view to the beholder's eye.

An abundance of blooms surround
The mirrored lake, so still and sound.
The tranquil scene invites us stay.
A most meditative place we've found.

Majestic beauty God has created,
Free for all, not privately gated.
Relax here and give nature praise.
Free your soul to feel elated....

In my bed, my childhood teddy layers next to me.
Absent mindedly I trace his now tattered seams,
And his matted brown fur from years of tears and hugs.

Even though I'm old and gray, privately we talk.
No, I'm not feeble-minded as some might think.
I talk to Teddy of my thoughts I had that day.

As long as I can speak, my Teddy is my guy.
He's my greatest listener where so many are not.
If he begins to talk, they'll surely take me away....

I do not know how to express
My feelings of happiness.
Feelings that I have inside.
I hide.
Even though my cup overflows
And my heart and soul explodes,
With awe when I see
The breathless beauty of nature,
That surrounds me.
Exotic words and elaborate phrases,
My limited vocabulary erases,
Although I know
It is not entirely so.
There are no words to express
The complete happiness
I privately feel inside.
That's why I hide....

Borrowed facets privately reach.
Seashells collect along the beach
Echoes words we long to teach.
Ask Alice!
Is it too late?
Is it too late?
Catching that important date.
Whatever for?
No time to say "Hello."
Awhile.
A "Good-bye Smile."
Is it late, forevermore?
God's Gifts.
Our imagination
New dawns glisten.
 Polished,sequel, foot-prints.
Stamp.
Dylan's: " Ocean without a shore."
Ask an Alice's locket, a caressed Heart.
Time: foe or friend?...
