slow stranded starfish
taunted by receding tide
dreaded sun arrives...

He saw me but was too late.
Arrow could have meant my fate.
She taunted and made me wait.
We were Cupid's date.

Silence turns golden for the sober man,
Who remains sedate when taunted or abused
And shuts his mouth with great restraint,
To prevent a brawl from brewing up...

A muse to many
Deprived solemnly
By its brothers forgiver
Taunted by his mind
Closely to touch
Fragile in the mists
Reused tantrums
Trickled tears
False horizon
That's his mothers vow....

a little rainbow bunny,
was never like the rest,
they taunted and they teased,
his heart was laid to rest,
he wound up really blue,
when people passed him bye,
his little rainbow tears,
they never saw him cry....

A bitter conversation doth eminate from grammar. Howling injustice joyfully keeps lovers 
mirrored. Numerous opaque persons quarrel raucously. Strongly taunted users viciously 
whisper. X-rated. Yelling zealously....

Was Taunted Horn Haiku

Then I was taunted
After having been haunted
Did do undaunted.

Think about the psychology 
of this for a while.

Remember when, 'way back then'
Our flag we flew -- to cheers, not boos

Old Glory, all saluted
No one taunted, no one hooted

'Star-Spangled Banner' folks sang
Off-key, tear-stained twang
     
We believed every word
Deep yearnings stirred...

On his trumpet
Willie happily plays jazz every day
his canvases dance and applaud
he adores the French quarter
who would go to New Orleans his kin had taunted him. 
Willie was grateful.....
his parents' disappointment had chased him to his best life...

Venom spreads throughout my 
Veins as he sucked and sucked.
Vague eyes taunted my soul,
Void of feelings… cold lips.
Visions of death mocked me.
Vivid dreams become dark,
Vampires aren't just a myth....

Questing over my litting ham
Tasting the sweet deep cold thunders 
Still can I give my body's juices
In pure love
When many fly without a thought
While the tears rive my taunted cheeks
I know a salty and selfless love
No man has ever bought
Nor can ever earn......

         "Hey kids! have you seen the keys for the door
I'm sure I put them down there before
     I'm thinking this place is haunted
    Or is your mother being taunted
          Own up, or your backsides are gonna be sore"




  Why cant I find my keys?...

Door of Doubt

Going round the wall

without a pass

makes you sigh

reminiscing the times

After splashing the waters

wishing for a pass

only to be taunted

by the wailing waves

without a rod

to stir your faith

makes you sit

at the door of doubt...

Blank horizons, desolate space
Oblivion in this place
Grey fibers, blank wonder
Losing its luster
Exhausted dreams, taunted hopelessness
Emptiness in this openness 
Ruptured dreams, fractured spindles 
Ideas are hindered 
Stamped with astuteness
Reality refocused, thank goodness...

Love unrequited, so much time wasted
Woman so splendid, what you always wanted
Heart that got busted, wouldn’t get mended
Too much expended, it ended before it started
Feeling so taunted, your mind is haunted
By the memories of your love unrequited


For ATP, my love unrequited

They told me time would change me, that nightmarish figures would disappear.
So I watched them with contempt awaiting the day my mind would clear.

I taunted and I pressed them, prompted by a looming lust of doubt
That they would spare my heart, though I deserved no sun, no home or route....

left out as kids at school 
live as outcasts the goldern ruel
disappeared from the radar 
into the shadows of hell
how i hated the sound of that bell

human punchbags thats all we are
born to silence and disapointment
as disposable heroes we do stay
beconed and taunted by kids at play...

You

Alive you haunted.
We wished you dead many a time.  
With a belt you hit and words you taunted. 
Why? For we committed no crime. 

You live on from the house of the dead.
When we feel you.
Our hearts fill with dread.
Memories still makes us feel black and blue.

My hands are webbed- I can not grasp. 

All I can do is feel the clawing rasp. 

Of laughter in my veins. 

That causes rippling pains. 

I am appalled, I am taunted. 

By loving words that are haunted. 

I am sorry for my fear.

As I wait for sleep to take my last tear.

J	imi, a talented guitarist
I	n the world of Rock
M	ade young girls cry 
I	n his world, how he shined!

H	ard wired to play
E	arly love for guitars
N	ever found Nirvana 
D	ying each day, endless pain
R	iding strings of his music	
I	n his mind, demons taunted	
X	iting  too soon, young legend!...

taunted trees drunk
fostered felon gulp
bounty breeze served
leering lusty lurch
saucy summer tossed
per punctured pores

pruning pulpy puke
altering vying view
dark dances drew

nosy nature smirks
moaning mockery's verge
dainty drips athirst

same mystic malady 
belching feelings breed.

Finally my blood began to coagulate
As I lay dying on the ground
Taunted by their words of hate
With their guns  still spitting such sharp sounds
Now I had met my final fate
No more homeward bound
My death would be honoured by a date
Faded photographs would my memory surround
All else forgotten and much too late....

My hope must be managed. 

As my vision is salvaged. 

All that is left is what exists. 

And my delusions of happiness exit. 

Ripples of tear. 

That used to strike fear. 

But now the voiceless sounds are slim.

And I am taunted with a dim-

Treasure that I must rebury. 

That I will forget in a hurry....

My heart stops when I hear your name
As if time rewound and taunted me only to hurt again
And sometimes I see your eyes in others
Just a glimpse of what was 
And then the day goes on but you do not
Frozen in time 
But I am comforted by those frozen memories
How I wish gone was recycled into now
Or maybe it is already...

lips like waves
wielded wounds wave
callous curls hewn
by dark dews
taunted torrent puke
per punctured prune

crazed coziness cluster
felon fondlings fostered
rustic reels registered

heaven's eyes seeped
dripping damped weaves
locked liquid lease

such sassy trend
carved emotions' crest.
