Truth doesn’t have an owner
propriety be damned
The light from the source
directing us home
—unbroken by command
(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)
Clever in my literacy
Impaired in my itinerary
Noted for variety
Daunting in my propriety
A jaunting of notoriety
For wanting serenity
exempted from purity
Quaint in obscurity
Oh, my heart,
I would rather see you excel in matters of knowledge and propriety
Than in the secrets of gaining absolute power and notoriety!

Life
To Be
Or not to
Is the question
Existence questioned
We strive to discover
To find out more, to discern
Purpose for it, purpose to life
Slaves to boundaries of propriety
Freedom’s the answer, freedom from decorum.
Science would like
to abscond with Philosophy
Claiming propriety
over truth falsely shown
Measures and numbers
its weapons of choice
Never looking beyond
—what its theories bestow
(Wayne Pennsylvania: May, 2019)
Grace is the right balance
of humor, tact, and wit.
Touting propriety,
couth, and civility.
Innocence, with a tinge
of righteous arrogance.
Genteel fluidity,
in dress and decorum.
And the epitome,
of femininity.
A poem is a chance visitor
Who barges in unexpected
But when waiting for his arrival
He may not show up
A guest with no propriety

Once to stand before our Maker, to say, "I Meant well," shouts out as the state of a mind's deeply rooted feelings toward... Whereupon, if of a veneered propriety; just same as a promise never made, but to yourself now, one that Might hold forever yours to keep.
Religion becoming meaningless
when propriety goes away
Nothing to sit atop the lies
nothing to lead astray
Claiming the title to prophecies spun
each figurehead stands tall
To augment the legend of what never was
—as Divinity still calls
(The New Room: January, 2023)
With talk of some depravity
She had some insecurity
It was intended levity
That brought up the impurity
But due to the gravity
And a sense of new propriety
She became a true deity
When I received sobriety
The then avoided atrocity
Turned into only animosity
But, through her generosity
She finally gave me pity
Replete with devout unwavering resolve,
Their hostile campaign is meant to involve
Those who refuse to adopt what they believe,
So they murder and maim in hopes to achieve
An ill perceived utopian society,
Based on their notion of Holy propriety
And from ornate towers the Imams sing,
As Satan laughing, spreads his wings.
A time tested honor
to be branded a goner,
just stand in the middle
of their circle of blame.
In this sex-crazed society
still obsessed with propriety,
it is you they'll belittle
to protect their good name.

Stilling avarice with abstinence,
He recovers profound innate wisdom,
Gaining sincerity most genuine,
And a righteous heart of prudence,
As proper mind exudes propriety,
He harmonizes hearth and household,
And steers his state away from woe,
Proving himself fit for purple dignity.

A spring frog came to my bath one day
Unknowingly to me when I began.
I undressed quietly and stepped into the tub.
I hopped out when he jumped in!
Forgetting my clothes and propriety,
I left the room in a huff.
I will bathe when I can be by myself,
No frog will see me in the buff!
Frog though he is…
He could be a handsome prince in disguise!
Religion
is the death of God
conscripting Him away
Cloaked in false
propriety
enlightenment at bay
Religion
is the death of God
scriptures to mislead
All piety
a false disguise
worshipping the creed
Religion
is the death of God
whose armies rage and burn
Killing
in the name of One
—whose love they claim to yearn
(The New Room: December, 2023)
Je mourrais pour embrasser tes lèvres
demure propriety awaiting
mists uncover morning crest
arched along crimson tides
glances reflectively linger
last chances filling coffers
only pearls dare still sing
gentle waves wash
upward turns to heaven
Je veux embrasser vos lèvres
scorch your name
upon my naked soul
find me in fluid drips
of your attention
simply holding_
holding on
POLITICS
Propriety demands - we do not speak
Of others, either strong – or weak
Lest in the foray of the quest
Insiders, fall from grace, of safety’s nest
Take residence alongside taloned beast
Intent on making you the winner’s feast
Cloned puppets denying there are strings
Surrendering their truth to cell phone rings.

I purposely arranged this poem to look like our flag!
On "my" flag, the stars can't be contained in a corner!
Our modern day monarchy, only have the stars...in their eyes!
LIFE IS A BOOMERANG
Life is a boomerang
What you give you get it back
So, balance your Yin and Yang
This’s an essential hack!
With love fill your tray
Spread joy and cheer
Prejudice be kept at bay
Let not fear come near
Fling vibes of happiness
Gift others your trust
Hurl loads of goodness
Propel propriety with thrust!

Silence
Light is speech. the mind
an enchanting thing
picking and choosing.
Our past becomes present
consequences.
Modesty may,might nay must
overcome envy.
Retreat propriety,
rescued by the disposition of angels
in pedantic literalism.
A distrust of merits, style &connoisseurs.
prisnmatic colours,hyphens &lines.
Nonchalance,in lieu
efforts of affection ,interacting with
apparations of splendour.

THE PHOENIX
You tried to choreograph my life
Cajoled me to dance to your fancies rife
While in every step you tried best
To see me mutely obey at your behest
With my happiness buried, dreams shattered
But I have made it impossible to render me battered
For my soul is fortified by scars of plenty whip-lashes
You try to burn, like the phoenix I rise from the ashes
With propriety I know now to shield my dignity
And fight alone with grit, on life's stage every malignity!
