No metaphors
Simply raw
Straightforward
Uppercut
Hit the jaw.
Scrape
Revealing marrow
Broken rules,
Many poems
Simple phrases
All my jewels....

Life is our kit that shapes those things we do;
In other words, from a straightforward view.
From standard rules- revise and then renew;
End up with great rewards that follow through.

If I am just straightforward;
Talking to my FATHER;
not begging just talking; 
PRAISE Glory, unto Him; 
Saying simply-Hallelujah!

Man of Faith


You openly minister
to all the wayward
And, not the least
the straightforward.
You may not change
some bad intentions
At least you can 
to bad perceptions.
For mankind, harmony
an' mirth is wrought
For, peace and love
can never be bought.

Though sunset is a thread upon the living
in care of others nothing, but love like
a beacon. It is axiomatic
that life is not always straightforward
beyond this simple world, motivated
by purely altruistic reasons for
others with much warmth of asseveration
of the heart never forgotten.

Raising a barrier with an expression of a trunk barrel is quite astonishing really. Whilst holding a booking breaming fish at a straightforward angle. In sunshine or at schools in closeted cupboards eating a lot of cakes then. Dance with ninety six thousand frogs. Hahahaha and a few long pies. Hahahaha xx longitudinal xxx...

He pens for her 
Upon his page 
This woman he thinks 
Hides in written cage 
Of words of passion 
Never before sought 
He thinks he's the reason 
For every sensual plot 
Hiding he deals ink 
with double entendre 
A straightforward style 
Being more her forte 
Playing together without a care 
This the penman's love affair....

Paying It Forward
Miracle Man
1/6/2022

When someone helps me,
I’ve learned to pay it forward.

It has usually happened
when I didn’t need serving.

Doing it discretely,
never straightforward.

I select my target,
from those I’m observing.


“Service to others is the rent you pay
for your room here on earth.”
Muhammed Ali

Fish

I am cheesy.
I am straightforward, dead inside, tired, and sarcastic.
Brother of Tyrone.
Lover of nothing, no one, and nobody.
Who feels hatred for this poem, smooth, and closed.
Who fears showing emotion, socialization, and girls.
Who would like to see the world end, a brand new Ps4 that’s for him, and food.
Resident of 3401 Mustang Way, Hemet, CA 92545.
I am a fish....

When the noise makes sense
and the malediction feels like a blessing;
the hunger turns into a fullness
as the defloration becomes efflorescence.

Only then will I know...

That relinquishment is just another offering,
that falling is just going upward;
the opposite is the way ahead to the straightforward.

Only then will I know,
by the true learning of loving you,
who I am....

When a man's always angry and always enraged 
blaming complaining and slightly deranged 
quickly offended and often acts crazed
never changing and always the same 
it's not that he's mad or that he's insane 
I'll tell you exactly what makes him this way, 
the answer's straightforward so don't complicate, 
his genitals are tiny, it makes him irate! 

*it's sooo true, it's sooo funny...

they're having a happy chat
they would not dream to own
some scarecrow with a stone
beneath its frightening hat

scheming fancy and laughter
cheering and chanting aloud
they'd not venture to alter
one frail reassurance found

their stories all have flair
if thoughts are loud or bare
those children sleep lightly
they'll whisper thoughtfully
shun a straightforward stare
through squabbles skillfully...

Character defines personality
A noble character is simple, decent and kind
An awakened character is clear, straightforward and true
The beauty of character lies in the respect of human body
An exalted character uplifts righteous morals
Ups and downs may put a symbolic character on trial
Bad guys and nasty acts are enemies of strong character.
Husney kirdar say norey mujasm ho ja
Iblees bhi tujhay daikh kar sudhar Jaye....

Folding chairs
Folding sheets...napkins and 
self
Tuck the ruffled edges...the creases
the bound corners deep
Hide them in the formation of perfect squares and
Straightforward lines
Slowly..carefully smooth out the visable top layers
till like a smooth as glass sea on a pale October morning
All remants and reminders of froth ...foam and fury
are forgotten in the haze and daze
of molten light reflecting only off the surface...

i’ve been s-coffing quite a lot lately ~ i think perhaps i’ve got a s-cold 

said menippean to the rhymester ~ s-pitting out helios as he s-trolled 

                               —————————————

     a fair straightforward non rotating ~ syllable counted monoku 
          #.                                  #.                                #
even the maggots are important ~ grow wings and persevere with life

Tried to be straightforward;				
Misunderstood by everyone.				
Common were the brickbats; 				
Discarded by the loved ones.
Though life seemed miserable,
Like a rock stood he!
Lost no hope…
Fought till the end uncompromised,
For the principles he believed in. 
As a guiding light he emerged.
Truth is always bitter
For those who dislike it.

Listen to poem:

Bent askew, with shadow straight as a die
reflecting my every move and mood
I dwelt upon the hidden grace of being bent.
For curved things are strangely stronger
than straight things, so rare in nature.
So prone to shatter to pick-up-sticks, straight bits
when compliant and inflexible.
Fearing the wind will turn you into a statue
if you flap, furl, curl and yield to change,
and take a backward step, arching back,
away from the straightforward....

I wish I were an educated woman
But sadly, I am not.
I have to rely on common sense
As much as I have got
You don't have to write a thesis
Or a Shakespeare play
You have to think carefully
And be straightforward with what you say.
Some educated scholars,
Are a credit to their craft
Unfortunately, others lack common sense,
They're daft.
It is essential to have both these two,
But I am only an uneducated woman
With a common sense point of view....

I once met a man of great integrity.  He was timeless,
with no constraints, restrictions or illusions.  He was to
be as seen, no distortions, with perceptual consistency, 
without misrepresentation or delusion, guiltless, forthright,
sincere, candid, open, trusted, honorable, square, just,
upright, fair genuine, straightforward and frank. He really
was an all-round good guy.  Funny though, for the life
of me, I just can't seem to remember his name......

I gave God my soul in my word to speak, I been rolled in the cold beneath the deep, where it all unfolds befor your dream, Just remember we all have an ending where we begin, the information that has been received Is beyond our head, but I stay straightforward on my path for this is what it is, I’m a musician and an artist who loves all of my friends, And a poet For my word has been Cleansed, I gave god my soul in my word to speak, But I’ll be humble until the end...

To be honest I don't know what I've done...
To be truthful I hope I've made the right choice, 
to have your heart as my sun.
To be straightforward I think I've found my award.
To be direct you have a huge heart, I checked.
To be open it's hard for me to express what I mean with out chokin'. 
To be sound, our love was found.
To be fair, let's stay together and share. 
everything from the air we breathe for eternity, 
to the love we share to make each other happy....

Parallel parking on a private stow
For every row there was a foreign road  
Waiting for night, my thoughts roam
Straightforward, straight towards her

To...say.. find another, another home
Goodbye my lover, goodbye my love

A voicemail harping and a dial tone, 
Went to your door yet no one's home
And all my beliefs lay there on your wreath, 
Intertwined with stems and leaves
Fastened to a... ring

Goodbye Hanna, goodbye home
Goodbye forever, forever I'll roam...
