Be Competitive

Be competitive,
And also repetitive;
What a way to live.

The repetitive nature
of who I am
to walk in my shadow
set forth to familiar lands
the foibles be damned!...

A heart lies, cooling between the bones,
just waiting for a chance to beat.
How sad that it can't know;
the breast that was its mold
never cared for repetitive melody....

Don't judge me
but –
Is that girl over there
expecting?
Or should I be
inspecting 
my own projected fears,
cradled by society's
repetitive scrutiny
of the female form?...

COFFEE FOR TWO

Dark, hot liquid
Surrounded by steam
Spoons, repetitive spirals
Lumps of sugar and cream
Cozy, warm pj’s
Another day anew
Simple moments cherished
Sharing coffee with you

Alone; 
an abandoned, 
waterless oasis 
that cynically 
mocks you knowing 
companionship is a gift 
it will never 
furnish you with, 
where hope 
turns into a 
repetitive game 
of soulless solitaire....

routine behavior by
rules and strict policies
regulation of moves
right uniformity
regality in style
repetitive movement
rigidity commands

No more contests for me
I've never really been competitive 
I just wanted you to see
Something other than what's repetitive

You have nothing to prove
Let the world know it
Share what you have
Causes you're a Poet !...

Brief poem,
              I relish it...
              Weighs deeper,
              is deeper than
              the repetitive,
              the long-winded,
              the superfluous 
              one......

i can hear this rain
tapping against my window
the beats more steady
than that of my heart

He used to be:
   wordy, verbose, prolix,
   chatty, jejune, digressive,
   tedious, long-winded, repetitive,
   elaborate, grandiloquent, loquacious,
   pretentious, comprehensive, circumlocutory

Now he is:
   pithy...

The train hurdles into the black
    Bound for who knows where and back
      White billowing from its smoke stack
         Mesmerized by it repetitive clickity clack
            Wondering,and wishfully looking down the track......

Voice
Speak
above
my mind's yell
and sooth my heart's speech,
before reasoning is valid
and simplistic normalcy overturns these weak hands,
loosing chance of knowing, being stuck with horrible repetitive thoughts of: what if?...

The short poem,
               minimalist
               i relish ...,
               speaks further rotundly,
               and deeper than
               the repetitive,
               the wordy,
               the superfluous ...!...

Theirs tension in the air
Im here to stay
Dont mind me im human too
Repetitive stradegy its become dull
Grasp onto another to for us enjoy
Time hasnt stopped while we wait
For the story to unfold
A nice puzzle to uprupt the mind
Embracing it rest...

our daily chant
we call prayer
is repetitive

we die a little more
slipping into stupor
on each immersion

where’s wonderment 
joyous astonishment 
of childlike innocence 

meld with the deity
in a fusion of hearts
nothing less will suffice

reverberating night,
raucous in smoke filled room,
repetitive drum beat,
resonant voice arose,
recapturing lost soul,
rock to wisdom of song,
remember Bob, no cry!!

The repetitive saw of metal against metal,

The bashing of steel for designs,

The whir of the copper polished

And the hiss of the patina finished.

The file and sandpaper rasping on the brass

The noise all around

The hammers they pound,

As we create our own sound....

Check all the seats in the front of the bus.
Check every seat, and don't make a fuss.
Check the back seats and the front ones.
Check all the seats for lost daughters and sons.
Check under the seats when the day has ended.
Check on the seats, don't leave any children unattended....

When life is in between choices
And you choose one is a delimna
I think, it's all the problem
Do it, only one answer
Repeat the right thing
It's true, go with strong faith
Do the repetitive things with heart
Keep doing what you care about
Life will one day
Give us an answer....

i send a message 
in a dark passage 
repetition pulse 
genetic impulse 

you do repeat back 
via a small crack 
repetitive tone 
you begin to moan 

all things stop and start 
skin not far apart 
a very hard code 
release a soft load 

our messages sent 
intimate time spent...

Do you ever stop to think that you're a bus?
No I don't mean a vehicle that would go to toys r us 
I mean an actual bus
Thats a representation of all of us
They stop at red lights 
In spite
Of fights
Lonely nights
A low kite
A repetitive life
Green light, go 
And that's the show...
