Short Superficially Poems

I  did not get it initially,
Brushing it off superficially. 
My taste buds turned fickle, 
Demanding a pickle; 
Pregnant I am, now officially!

Give me anguish that feels like my heart has been staked,
Give me betrayal, entrapment, and hatred of my race.
Give me shame, humiliation, and painful disgrace,
But please oh please spare me, a pretty face....

This reality is a titless girl:
Nothing to offer superficially;
But if I peeped under her breast,
I'd receive what'd put my soul to 
rest.
Sadly, I haven't the greatest of 
senses
To blow my fallible beliefs out of my 
ear;
What's offered underneath will stay 
in the rear....

why accept 
purely 
artificially 
based
interactions  
that would
not be 
naturally 
occurring 
it would be  
superficially 
based only
concerned with
how things
appear on 
the outside
would be quit shallow  
it would be lacking in depth
what good would 
those encounters 
bring...

Touched by you, I am
Eclipsed:

Wanton, we gather superficially at the
Center of warm flesh,
Decoding one another's fractured forms.

I feel, for all purposes, in a 
Self-defeating sense, Desire
Of tidal proportions, an Oceanic
Onrush, only to be drowned in.

Trumpery has nothing to do with the card game bridge, the trump card
in a round defeats all the others, the most powerful card;
It is the practice that superficially
appealing to many but officially
have very little real value, worthless stuff, one needs to discard.

Listen to poem:

I am two different people
Superficially the same

One inside the romantic
and totally right brained

the other is pragmatic
intellectualizing all

A dichotomy of thought on two different keys
a melody together, two harmonies apart

A symphony when played
cacophony to part

Gossip 2
Written: by Miracle Man
7/14/2017

Hardly anything unseen can remain hidden for long.
Ravenous appetites for gossip always seek to prolong,

We can never be unchained from things in our past,
To others, in thought, were coupled hard and fast.

Though superficially interred we think them forgotten,
But Satan comes with a spade to unearth the rotten;

MEADOW MIND

Just as surely 
My mind is also a meadow
Choked with out-of-control 
Wild creations
And filled deep with bullshit in places
May seem attractive to another’s eyes
Superficially inviting
But difficult and impractical 
To live in

……………………………………………………………………………………………………
**  With thanks to fellow poet Maureen McGreavy, 
whose poem NORMALLY MY MIND’S A MEADOW gave 
me the idea for my verse here...

Live by Stereotype,
Die by Stereotype,
Living superficially with double standards,
Racism, sexism, Haters,
Hating on who you want to be,
Who you were,
and who you are,
Biasing opinions on bad examples,
Not wanting to learn the truth,
The truth silently hiding behind the exterior,
The reality,
Blind to looks,
Based on actions, attitudes, and personality,
Based on honesty, pride, and intelligence,
Based on...
The truth......

I am not a man who loves superficially
When I eat a poem
I peel it skinless with my teeth
Bite and suck the juicy pulp
Lick the seed white before planting it again
I am the lion eating its meat
Don't ask me to gloat on dross
To secure the favor of popularity
Poetry is a sacred gift
Upon my altar it is a sacrifice of totality.
Melt, melt, melt into it
Ice into the ocean blue
Light into sky
Love into you
And let us sip and feast on words together....
