My man just ruthlessly
sordid and truthfully
touched base and youthfully.
Reckon I'll sleep some tonight.

Lines composed in dejection
of embarrassing rejection
have a tendency to be
even duller than the seeds
of Stalin’s rise to power,
and more ruthlessly taxing,
and on the psyche vexing,
than the whole of the Holodomor....

They call me a sin for the crime of naps
While greed parades as ambition ornate
In this ruthlessly rushing world, perhaps
It is patience we should appreciate

mind full of
worries
won’t let the body 
sleep &
a body full of
sleeping pills
won’t help ya 
count those 
sheep,
so you’re left
with the time spent
tossing & turning,
watching the sun 
ruthlessly
rise
so your eyes can start
burning....

TEMPERED GRACE

one challenge, one heartbeat, one goal
blinding blast--Boston’s blood
achievements brutally, ruthlessly denied

(My prayers and heart go out to Boston--the Athletes and their loved ones)

In a stilt-house
I ate two-three drops rain
with a bread slice;
A mouse stared at me with fear of fear

Bared I was on flooded map
Ruthlessly a snake ate the mouse
But I couldn't hunt the snake

Oh; I was not cruel actually

Bloodthirstiness of ink's wickedness, 
ruthlessly dripped upon parchment
blistering an already screeching sun,
no footprints apparently left in sand as
oceans's bluffs turned oases to flatland,
there was no urgency for brutal honesty
aside factually, it unquestionably delivers...

wave
after
wave
pounding
ruthlessly 
against
Her
weary
jaded mind
defiantly
eroding
tattered 
threads
of frail
sanity…
and yet...
She
clings to
hope

What if the story of who we are
Has already been stitched to our soul
And it’s on you to unravel the thread
To discover the fabric of your life
Woven through the tapestry of time
All unfolding right before our eyes

Maybe our patchwork of problems
Are imprinted upon us for a reason
To help us ruthlessly reveal 
Who we really have been all along...

Under the hot lights I roam
Defined by forming instincts
The pursuit of avalanche grows
Wayward through each fountain head

Every hand in making memory its guise
When full tooth explosions hit stone
And escape serpentine rhythm 

Laughing ruthlessly upon city towers
The house and headstrong mistress
Killing movement with skill
Leaving red murmurs crawling...

Near the broken bridge outside the post station, 
Unappreciated, a wintersweet blooms lonely. 
Cast by the gloomy dusk in isolation,
It's ravaged by the wind and rain ruthlessly. 
Without intention to bloom first in spring lushed, 
It’s envied by many a flower. 
Even if the blossoms fall and are ground to dust, 
Their fragrance lingers in the world forever.

The arrow pierces  
                   
                   
          his
     heart
ruthlessly with the
full-fledged hatred
of the sender;
          the
unsuspecting
innocent victim was
hit by the arrowhead
in the head
     and almost
instantly he fell
with a thud and
became dead—
cold-blooded murder.
                   
                   
       Why!?...

Let Justice prevail





Criminals that terrorise, abuse, rape, kill or cheat,
Be pulled ruthlessly into the street,
Only to be hanged till their last breaths trail,
Might mend bleeding hearts of the frail,
Proclaim a voice and let justice prevail !

Wolf Heart Woman is gorgeous and confident
She exudes a mystical quality that frightens many
Her stylish headdress was constructed by Sky Mother
She ruthlessly pursues women of other tribes
Teaching them new dangerous ways of thinking
Increasing their passion for independence and freedom
The men of other tribes cringe as she rides toward them in battle
Knowing who her captives will be...

44 soldiers in a field…
Died ruthlessly in a clueless attack!
Blood was everywhere in my eyes
I saw bullet holes on their pity heads.
Is there such a word justice today?
No one is still jailed in this saddest new day.
Coffins were wrapped with this national flag,
Hope that this controversy will sooner be wrapped.
Seek for truth and justice of their death!
Took 44 lives in a woods of dead end...

Companies lust after profit. 
They do nothing - that is, squat - 
if there's a chance of not 
making something off it. 

You see a soft heart beating. 
Try being an executive 
whose yields are down, and has to live 
through a hostile stockholders' meeting. 

Capitalism works. It really does. 
That's because it's selfish, greedy - 
ruthlessly exploits the needy. 
It works, because it's us....

The heart will mend itself 
It is your mind you ought to worry about
For it is your mind where you hoard the memories, 
Were You've filed the record of the one who scarred you 
That still cuts deep as a dagger   


Your mind will ruthlessly torment you day and night
Bring you to tears, crush you over and over again
Unless you unprison your mind by letting go
Whereas the heart is it's own healer...

So as one begins walking, is there nowhere left to go?
To carry-on is the Marigolds' only reason found to grow
Red and orange incredible the closer that they glow
Cornucopias of shapes they have; but never a perfect row
Rich variations beautifully subtle is the show
In our mournings; kindness, and solidarity, they're left in tow
However, ruthlessly; what they give left to burn in snow...

You have taken my soul
Left me hollow inside
The love I gave you wasn't enough
You needed something more 
Istead depth of the ocean
You choose shallow water
The price I have paid dearly
With a bruised and broken heart
I have been mistreated baby 
Abused ruthless as a storm
And I'm letting you go
For I'm losing my mind
Got to get over you 
Once and for all
Or I might die.

Inspired by Glenn Hughes song ' Mistreated'....

Faith 





Faith like a magnet 
attracts and embraces,
Rises as an early sun
touches acme of noon,
Soothes as a cool breeze
to soul's serenity,
Blooms as vibrant flowers
an emblem of Spring.

Faith if defied
bleeds as malignant ulcer
Whips the very soul
and squeezes the heart,
Nibbles ruthlessly
to later discard,
Moves in a dry desert
as hope chases mirage.
