Rather than what they know....

behold, narcissistic self-beholder,

             your self-made self perfection,

                cracked mirror's reflection !...

self made disaster

                              inner dialogue too loud

                                    to see the light

The mirror tells a story
Of repaired self made true
No harm no foul I do see
A perfect renew

The distance between the stars
is stone deaf.
Diamonds die last, stones are blind
but all knowing.
Man is a blip on a self-made monitor.

Sound bites are a poets
last resort.

Fate wears a face
Like a blank page
So you can trace
Your self-made stage
To act the part
That sets you free
With mind and heart
And soul you see.

I don't know 
    Am amazed 
    spider's web self made.

   What a ridiculous !
   You claim live 
    after matting. 

   Serpent 
   behind beauty 
   why honey trapped for me....

Are you digging a hole
you will never crawl out of,
a prison self-made by your hand
The metaphors mix
as you lie there betwixt
—the bars sinking into the sand

There's so much out there to appreciate and enjoy everyday.
Breathtaking landscapes, the serene sound of the ocean's waves,
Nature's wondrous wildlife, be it predator or prey,
and yet I lock myself 24/7 in my self made secure cave....

He seems to be the pompous sort;
looks down his nose at us and snorts~
"your poems are subpar 
and only fit as char" ~
in the judgement of his self-made court!

Postscript: If the shoe don't fit don't try to put it on....

Every transatlantic        
            is it safe of itself...
            But does not browse
            alone by its  own means ...!
            Every man can
            be self-made man,
            but he wasn't born of his own......

"Where did you find your happiness?",
Someone asked me with eagerness.
"Disenslaving the pelf,
Created it myself",
Replied I, with all gentleness.

Galloping thought, self-made prison
Fears and desires seduce
Inducing against soul treason
Free is joyous recluse

Wary of ego glue
Each moment we renew
Early morn pristine dew

Bliss mist not caught
Galloping thought

He was a grouchy tempestuous old fool
he was estranged from his family too.
He had wealth and most of all
he had acclaim.

He had everything he wanted for sure.
He had all of that and so much more.

a self made man as hard as a gem, 
but in his angry life
had not one friend....

stress is self made
stress is self inflicted
stress is a byproduct of ones confession
stress is a byproduct of ones confusion
stress amplifies ones inabilities 
stress exemplifies ones chaos
stress can only help those with no hope
stress can only hurt those with dreams fulfilled...

Seize fate
Breeze gate
Brisk rate


Move trade
Sense grade
Self-made


Cool breeze
Soft sneeze
Prompt squeeze


Breath pumps
Death comes
End sums


Arc swings
Last fling
Old thing


Lone bird
Last words
Unheard

Earthlings are both brilliant and moronic,
drinking from a glass a potent tonic.
Devil-angel with free will,
climbing up a self made hill.

Shackled by our rancor throughout history,
the love of saints and gurus set us free.
Made of water dirt and air,
Earth is bound by earnest prayer....

Yes, it's true; he fell.
But that he tried-----Nay!
Gave his all!----
His new knowledge,
His life's strength,
His whole will, till-----
"Up, Icarus, up!"-----
His self-made, self-said name
On righting wings of pride
Soared up through the centuries!
Yea!  e'en now I hear it,
"Up, Icarus, up!"...

The voyage of the heart forsaken

Along the righteous path not taken

The darkness there permeates the soul

Spawns an empty life without a goal

Sullen with a lack of gratitude

Ever cloaked with such vile attitude

Down a staircase where fate soon tumbles

A self-made house of cards that crumbles...
