Angry, Vilest Moniker

Angry, vilest moniker
Defeater of peace
Harbinger of repression
Men assume what they don’t know
It holds me back from entering the sacred realm
Calm awareness

Aggression Repression

I assume that my limerick obsession has to do with aggression repression. I compose and compose, and I never repose. This prevents my aggression’s expression.
Form: Limerick

Alas the Day

Alas the day,
alas the night when the voices cease,
and the words run from the page,
when men, women, boys and girls are deprived through oppression, repression,
racism and hate,
and Ill education of an age.

Premium Member Freedom Without Discipline

Spurning Russia’s repression
   or China’s suppression
What’s left to stop
   America’s digression

The Church lost its hold
  Morality put on a blindfold
Freedom without discipline
  produced violence internecine
Form: Rhyme


Stop it

My legs feel poor in an unkind way
I don’t want to talk about anything 
I don’t want to talk about anyone 

Hoarseness will ingest lungs
Loss will be learnt from rot 

I [will] have no eyes 
I [will] have no tongue 
I [will] have no heart

Premium Member A Predilection For the Helping Professions

I have a predilection 
      for the helping professions
      As well, for artistic self-expression

      I'll take my leave with this confession
      Other 'pursuits' are no more than repression
         ~ That lead inexorably to depression

Premium Member Renaissance

Harkening back to the grandeur of Greece and Rome
The dark fog of repression would slowly lift
Long cloistered souls found a brighter home
Minds free to create, no greater gift

Premium Member shadow play

silhouettes gently outline the centre 
curiosity jumps over the rainbow’s shadows
no more repression no rose-coloured glasses
just a box full of crayons to paint outside
of what impermanence reframed to be true

inner dialogue with the Universe
exploration of unlimited spiritual wealth

Who Are We

excommunicated from the land
of colours
i am
swimming in the music of the words
silently
passionate indulgence of
orgasmic repression
who are we?
speck of infinite wisdom
cosmic dust sprinkled
lustrous coupling of the residuals
on exile
in the unending girth
of the deep black holes
smiling...

Ferality 
Brutality
Remorse

Gratification 
The gains
Illusionary 

Repression 
Sublimation 
Ego games

Specious logic
Self hypnosis 
Delusion

Web of thoughts
Gluey desire
Myriad fears 

Habit patterns 
A limitation 
Self-imposed

Fear of freedom 
Thus keeps us
Bound

Prosecution

1.Public prosecutor is the gate keeper of criminal justice..
2.His initiative is required in criminal cases and repression..
3.He plays an important role between judiciary and Police..
4.The function of the prosecution is to evaluate the evidence..
5.Cases that are brought by prosecutor are adjudicated by judges.

Repression

Repressing old memories,
Past pictures burnt and torn.
Finding the love of my life
And never wanting anything more.
Sitting here wondering
If this is how it was meant to be.
He is my life
And all he will ever need is me.
Holding him close,
Never feeling us drift.
Shifting back and forth,
Shuffling in my head.
Form: Couplet

Just a Note

I don't believe in abortion, I don't believe in divorce
Nor do I believe in ***********, and surely not the death
Penalty ? I do not believe in greed and or immorality; hypocrasy
Oppression repression dogma hate division judgment and of the sort
What I do believe in is Mercy as Love; not for one not for some but for, All.

Shamegasket

the shamegasket…
sealed to its shame

pounding pistons
steam-hiss-bang

don’t let go
won’t let go

polymer of repression
weakening, yielding…

No!

slam-whish-clang
drive-control-wield

must…hold
can’t…help me…oh no

letting…go…now
yes, that’s it

Blow! Blow! Blow!

oil-stained junkyard
slowly spinning

slanted yellow moon
mocks twisted hearts

Repression and Its Effect ::Englyn Cyrch

Repression (Englyn Cyrch) It's process of forcing thoughts into unconscious mind, toss painful or dangerous views from bruise of conscious for rots. ~*~ *~ Its effect (Englyn Cyrch) These memories appear through subconscious means as a cue in an altered form, like dreams that seems to happen as true. ~*~ *~

who is a winner

Winners and losers


Perhaps Alexander Duggan is right
that winning is everything, thing whatever the cost
I think losing gives a time for reflection
not for bitterness
winning is by itself a loss,
 where to go
a peaceful way, or continue the repression
that follow the winner into excesses 
that can't be sated 
Is scorched earth an answer?

Premium Member Replication of Fear

Oh! ancient Kingdom of Persia
Of the reigns of Cyrus the Great!
Of Darius, Xerxes and Ataxerxes
Great thrones, great kings, Great Kingdom 
History is incomplete without you.

Oh!!! Persia. Oh!!!! Iran of the Islamic state
How you have fallen from a great fall!!
You are now a model of repression
You have become a replica of Fear.

Premium Member Consciousness Shift

Neither repression nor sublimation
allows our breath to flow in calm tranquil,
transmutation requiring cessation
from mind games making mountains of molehills;
silence ushering divine miracles.
Desire release alone puts us at ease,
ridding us of all ego spawned disease,
whereupon with no more fears to assuage,
flowing like the breeze, granted new life lease,
soul turns a page, free from erst feral rage.

We Are Migrating To East

nociception of pain
indigenous spirituality
theism ego structure
inevitable consequence
of the painful separation
sun is moving across the sky
thunder roars faint lightning
mediators of inflamed passion
universal need for consolation
neurotic repression
expectation
for non existing 
worry is imagination
our interpretation
knowledge and wisdom are limited
intensifying rain drops are real
we are migrating to east

Premium Member For Peace Sake

What is Peace

Peace is not the product of terror or fear.
 Peace is not the silence of cemeteries.
 Peace is not the silent result of violent repression.
 Peace is the generous,
 tranquil contribution of all to the good of all.
 Peace is dynamism.
 Peace is generosity.
 It is right and it is duty. 
However, sometimes it take
blood and guts,
sorrow,
soul searching,
chastising,
even war,
to achieve
what is peace.

Paycheck Prison

Smells like power
But tastes like chicken
Administrative duties
Make my pulse quicken

Repression wears a tie
Arrogance sports hose
Make Bossy smile
That’s how the garden grows

Timeclock sphincter
Clamped down tight
Constipation of thought
Absence of light

Artistic fire snuffed
Sculptor’s hand inert
Bottom line worship
Trade the smock for the shirt

Corporate aorta
Chocked with fat pride
With toad-lust for power
Freedom must collide

Premium Member My Time Is Near

I finally see the day
Where I will draw the line
Where I will have had enough
And stand up
Brand my sword

I’ll stare you down
And growl
Come no closer

I see the day is near
And feel the strength
Run through my veins

I feel the rage bubbling
I’m on the edge
And feel exhilarated

Freedom is nigh
And the backlash
Of repression is about
To be unleashed

Pause of polarity interchange

Between confidence and insecurity
lies this cold, barren land of fragility.
Dead branches of inability,
cold air coated with repression,
white wolves disguising fear with aggression.

That’s where you’ll find me.

Sometimes it’s almost like I see the way out:
the Caribbean of confidence.

There’s another exit too
the desert of insecurity.

I’m not used to either of those climates.
I’ll stay here.

Maybe you can tell me about them.

Premium Member Necessary Pain God?

Such dichotomy, “Aren’t we all?”
“Isn’t it all? Life, Geography, Ideology,
symbolic text on pages of humanities;
orgasmic growth?”

Eastern faces, sunrise, inward looking daze…
Western faces, sunset, outward gaze…

Poverty and wealth, defined, embraced.
The search for self.

Such necessary, painful, dichotomy…
Harmony and dissonance.

“Isn’t it all? Life.. Sexuality, Repression…
Grist for the mill, fodder?”
“The children of creation?”
