Paradise Despoiled

My lilies, bruised and holey

Their leaves a tattered mess …

Blame the lily-beetles,

Those devils in a red dress.


Coffee

Gushing drink into the tummy
With cream and sugar is so yummy!
Just don't let it overflow
Or hyper-active you will go!

Choose It's End

Nightmare turns to being gay
If you're a Christian on Judgement Day
Otherwise I hope you know
Into torment you will go

Bitter Road

Take the moment, then, my heart and home
Take it and be gone.
Leave me rising dust and memories
To kill me when alone.

With talks of love you're sappy too
When I am up you're happy too
When I am low you carry me
I'm asking will you marry me

I cry, I pretend and laugh.
I'm strong,though it's not enough.
I fight for someone I trust.
I die in the name of love.

Words can be dangerous
The human mind can be poisonous
Our own deeds can be torturous
Our own needs can be sulphurous.

When you find your mind judging
You don’t have to stop it from doing that
Just notice it
Withhold  judging the judging

Shepherd's Wallet

Ignorance is a talking drum
Ignorance is a drum of backwardness
Like a clock with low battery
Moving anti - clock wise

Poverty Wallet

Poverty's not the man who suffers.
Poverty's not his life.
Poverty's just an empty wallet
that hugs his azz too light.

Today I'll give up all my ex's
for something that is true.
And hope to find just one more wreckless
man for paring to.

Ed said he was a cannibal
How could he be any bolder?
Even so, when he got home late
All he got was the cold shoulder!

Pitch

That gas was rank for no damn good
When others thought it rich
But me myself said just a FART
when all I did was pitch

A Man In a Dream Called Once His Wife

A man in a dream called once his wife
By another women's name.
What can I say? He lost his life
In bed, without pain .

Me loves dem ramen noodles
They's better, better, better
And if I dump them on my head
They'll make my wetness wetter.

Premium Member Alarming

The alarm clock isn’t going off;
    it’s dead there on the stoop.
I fear the feral cats
    were in the chicken coop.

A Lover's Moon

Looking at the fullest moon
can lift your spirit higher
time and tide are both in tune
with each lover's heart's desire

Ode To Chess

Ah, the lovely game of chess
To make the enemies plans a mess
Then I can capture the king
About enough to make me sing!

Good-Bye Forever!

Call me crazy - if you dare
Going to hell?  I really don't care!
Satan may think that he's so rad
But God is my #1 Dad!

When I Visited a Mountain Temple In Korea

Shadows on the valley floor
Appear with the rising sun
Pine trees cling to the steep slopes
Over boulders a stream runs

As I open up my mind, please step inside
So much I hope to find
Help me see beyond the grind
So my mind no longer binds

Abortion

Baby laying in the womb
Is the next functoin a tomb?
Worrried about raising to much?
Adoptive parents have tender touch

Storms

Yonder, the Air duth blow.
rumbling thunder crashes.
lightening makes the night skies glow.
lie still until she passes.

Premium Member What Is Sloth

Sloth is laziness of mind and
Body
Through which we neglect our duties
On account on the labor they require

Why would anyone read my poems?
They are but rantings
Words that came from where my mind has roamed
Nothing but ravings
