is self-contained.

Sweaty water doesn’t taint….
Red barns peeling paint...

taint of dark fumes fill the sky
earth shield breaking up

My home is 
where my family is,
my family of one.
Others taint the
peace of mind,
you are not welcomed....

“Margaret Thatcher you ain’t!”
“You ain’t old Reagan in paint!”
slinging mud
with a thud
terrible taunts tossed to taint...

Take me to the dark side,
fill my eyes with lime shine,
taint my skin,
make it a hide,
make of me,
of deadly might.

Not saying this man was a saint
When benches let’s just say he’d taint
Imagine instead
What went through his head
When signs clearly said to wet paint...

Titillating touch
Rejuvenating a lie.
Yesterday’s hover. 
Sad melancholy kisses
Taint a traitorous lover.

Angels and Each Saint

Was prepared by Angels and each Saint;
They put together picture and did paint;
Explicit,
While implicit,
And by no one would they try to taint.

Tinges of red and gold fall away as confetti tint
Beneath on high, naked limbs wave swept
A taint of winter's coming mistral wind 
Whispers out, with just a rose cheek hint
Autumn is here upon parade...

abhorrent aberration of freedom restraint
due to a virus toxic to taint
indiscriminately poisoning justification 
fear mongering media increasing pervasion 
bigger heads gorge greater merriment
whilst executing each experiment....

Hands, aged with sun
Rings grown too tight
Feet, wrinkled by walk
Eyes drooped with tire
Hair stringed with dye
Teeth yellowed with coffee

Each wrinkle
Each taint
Each sun-spot
Each grey hair
Filled with experience
And meaning...

The only exercise I've done this month is RUN outta money
Won't do much for my physique but my outlook's still sunny
I try to plough through
The bills that are due
But the strain is overwhelming, don't laugh, 'tain't funny...

Pines dressed in pearl hues-
bleached cotton sky. Plumes carve
night shades into taint

of crushed bones. Stone
basalt tools grind glacier till
into pallid skin

colored clay, shaped
into ornate bowls that cradle
crow ossein. Hunter....

EVERYONE HAS A HISTORY
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS




This Perilous Pilgrimage, Produces Nary a Saint
Time Conceals the Blemished Deeds, Now Faint
Nary a Soul Is Spared from the Indelible Taint
Marooned in Our Conscience, Harboring the Plaint...

Discounting the Cooked Clerk

Bah humbug humidity.
Cratchit’s counting on hot reality
with an unquenchable boss.
Air conditioner’s broke, but not.
Think Winter’s better? it ain’t.
Scrooged in Summer taint.

Loneliness –
We have met
Once or twice
Loneliness –
Where did you go
Loneliness - 
I shall not
Speak of you,
So bitter and cold
This bandit
Creeps in,
At night
Shall taint 
Your heart, 
This fresh 
Moonlit sky
Loneliness –
Have we met...

An artist at his worst
Never recognized at his best
Drew of his sunrises until
The sun begins to set.
Painted his oceans blue
Only to have others taint
Them with rue,
Alas, scribbled his thoughts
Of incomprensible grey,
In a bright deceitful array....

a dormant serpent lies
covered up
at the foot of every bed
just the tip
of tail or tongue
exposed
& a dagger under every pillow
whether covered
in jewels or rust
every blade will cut the same
one or both
may hold the taint of poison;
choose carefully your beds...

Taint A Brain Then Paint

Each brain that is ain't, 
They would try to taint,
And to understand;
Put hand in sand
Picture of them did paint.

Had looked the other day
On beach and seagulls say
Hear us screech,
Trump impeach;
Sea washed picture away.

Perceptions don’t budge,
as we judge the judge,
who opined against,
we marked as a taint.

We too ink the void
and are oft decoyed,
by patterns of old,
we’ve not put on hold.

There’s nothing to seek,
for each wave’s unique,
flowing as ordained,
till love is ingrained....
