Short Self Proclaimed Poems

so many preachers,
self-proclaimed teachers,
offering minds hope.
with love let’s elope.

There’s a self-proclaimed hero
Proudly prancing across stage
Made known his idiocy
Not seeing his fate

Man,
The self proclaimed genius,
Figuring out the best way to build a campfire,
And then announcing to the stars
That he is on equal footing with the gods....

but really we are toads n frogs,
just quietly....burrup...

Self-proclaimed genius
Donald Trump wanted
To be President
Of the United States
Until the moment
He discovered
Congress in Oxford's
Is nothing like
Congress in Webster's...

Poetry fails
when forced to explain

A dead-end street
with little to gain

Stripped of meaning,
one proffer to name

Magic and wonder
dead,
self-proclaimed

Where you're from and who you are-
Two beasts that coexist within.
If not for the voices from your youth
Maybe you could have conquered.
But now you float in a stagnant pool
And nothing is far closer than everything....

smart
brilliant
self-proclaimed
a braggart too
this is no secret
she wants in my book club
so she can be president
I am extremely bright she says
She is my next door neighbor of course
I look both ways before I leave my house...

The self-proclaimed prophets speak
to warn end-time signs eclipse will wreak.

Ten-thousand eclipes have come and gone,
while human carnage carries on.

Be more cautious of a terrorist attack
than the sun and moon's cosmic act.

A Fascist I admit I am,
A self-proclaimed Autocrat
It’s not as if I’d give a damn,
Should someone call me that!
Despot Lord of my Domain,
A Kingdom thrives within my brain
On Monarch’s throne I’m quite at home,
With Sword and Crown to reign…...

Once there was a self proclaimed boss called “Done to Don”
“Say done to all directions from boss”, his great secret to don
Got to materialize a scheme, say done
Got to market a junk material, say done
Bloody “Done” have become a secret to don!...

Bleeding through the sky
The self proclaimed Goddess 
Wept once more
For her brother is on the floor
With her husband dead as a door
While she is in the sky
Hanging from
Hang
Feet below
The floor is gone 
There is only 
Sky 
Soar
Sear
Babel...

Self fulfilling prophecy

Self proclaimed secret 
beyond sky line 
Distilled ink 

Self proclaimed silence 
a xylophonic silence 

Late snowflake 
travelliing 
Scar faced knowledge 

Sea seeks 
her grey garments 
Sinking sun 

Yearning 
to begin again...

You set the bridge on fire, burning away all of our connections
You are the most calculating arsonist looking back in reflections
You might as well have staked my heart like vampire rejections
You dragged me in like smack spoon fed with sweet cooked injections
I, no more than a self-proclaimed codependence need for interjections
I was lucky enough to get away from your endless contradictions...

You messed around 
and married a real 
"pain-in-the butt" man 

known throughout the land 
for ripping
burning 
completely deserting 
then leaving 
women hurting

his only claim to fame 
is over reacting 
and lacking class
a self-proclaimed pain in the ass
a crook with line 
and hook to cast 

things will never be the same
trade away your maiden name 
to Mrs. Hemorrhoid 
and wear his name with class....

equidistant concentric circles of light
dancing to rhythm of soundless thunder
heighten throbs of magnetic bliss delight
as essence of presence looks on in wonder

grid lines vertical sprout branches horizontal 
taking the pilgrim to experience not in scriptures 
vaporised consciousness to divine surprise amiable
abandons dependence upon self proclaimed teachers

With laden heart her feet now tread
down winding paths filled with dread
avoiding the bruises pebbles shed
upon unworldly maidens head

Sticks hurled may not break bones
nor words spoken from sharpness honed
from magazines her appearance un-cloned
her individuality, resigned, walks alone

Piers, self-proclaimed, never understand
avoiding the touch of unsullied  hands
the tune she hears from her own band
with dignity and honor she stands...

I can feel the world rush past me
Like voices without conviction
Words of no importance
Mending nothing in the distance
But history

Yet we believe in self
And glory
Fate

Deep are the valleys of deceit
Echoing
Insatiable
Parched
A land without bounty
And wisdom
Hope

We are beasts
Foe
With unfounded truths
Except our own
To create
Strengthen
Justify
Self proclaimed boundaries
Lines
Of distinction
Division
Choice...

You're my mirage
My sweet confusion
My ever-receding horizon
My pleasant delusion
You're my make-believe
My fake spring of strength
My unabashed weakness
that sips my will at length
You're my unrivalled fiend
My never-ending quicksand
My self-proclaimed friend
My imaginary homeland
You're my bitter desire
My incurable infection
My humane tormentor
My everlasting addiction
You're my everything
My broken all
Coffee, my coffee
for which I evermore fall...
