Such a soul I was,
Sulking in corners,
On my lonesome,
Part of me relished it-
The other despised,
Social tendencies-
A bit different,
Me?
Why yes,
I’ll forever be a loner....

Vainly searching who to be
Avidly yearning for more in me
Narcissistic jubilee 
Isolated tendencies
Trifle bouts of insecurities
Yawning at the piercing pleas

I once met a lady from Killarney 
Her tendencies leaned toward the smarmy 
Wore the briefest of shorts 
Couldn’t hide her big warts 
But, she could handle the Irish army.

The depths of insecurities 
Buried with inveterate tendencies 
Her words were sweet as honey
Easily succumbed to vulnerability 
The final result came from pity
Satisfaction lasted for a moment
Confusion is here to stay...

O, when youthful sighs of solitude
    seek out trails o'er which to brood

  And contemplate men's destinies
    'midst myriad foibles and tendencies

  Why, then it is I sound the alarm
    alerting them ~ 'a job' does no harm...

Sociopathic tendencies, dismantled and in parts;
Are you slowly dissipating, from all those poisoned darts;
Have you choked on stale anguish, over things you’ll never know;
And you’ve found no way of going back, because there is no place to go...

I'm to vague to remember why
I'm so soft to stay strong
an oblivion of doubt
This may end when it starts pour out
My tendencies,  my shortcomings 
My anxieties off and running
Acting right when i thought i was wrong
Hoping time passes me by

There's always blood at the end of the road.
Every step forward is a foothold earned.
Backward tendencies erode our present,
sending the present into general nothingness-
a blissful abode of Ignorance inviting.
Wisdom waits while watching in the wings....

Vanquish enemies
All prejudiced tendencies
Letting love control
Our selfish motives, always
Relying on remedies

Darkness covers the light
as echo’s breath silence.
Haunting chills touch flesh
pasting precious moments.

Tender sight engulfs
natures dancing twirl.
As Earth moves into a
new time~line of space.

Escaping violent rings
of atmospheric tendencies......

Gemini
air sign
intelligent and clever
a trickster if she does not like you
a lap puppy if she does
following you home, loving you until the day you die
even if you throw her off your lap and kick her
Gemini
She has loyal tendencies that can wound herself...

Pleasure pools bathe indecency
splashing erotic sensations rapture.
Clouding emotions in darkness
carried farther than victims desire.

Glazing passions promiscuous
tickles into punctured freedom.
Concrete tendencies flourish,
boredoms haunting nightmares....

Despise my beliefs of sanity.
Contrast my thoughts of desire.
Forsake your own ambitions.
Give in to wants my needs.
Forgive my distrust of honesty.
I am only flesh that speaks.
We will always wither in happiness.
Wake in my souls inabilities.
Thrive in my breathless life....

easily puzzled
perplexed and bewildered
confused in a variety of ways
her pyrexic mind
encouraged latent pyromaniacal tendencies
dementia gone wild
house devoured in flames
singsong ritual and nonsense words
confusion and dementia
pieces of self scattered
easily puzzled...

the human entity that feels
employs body as a springboard
in bondage to gender and tendencies
looking outwards then reviewing inwards
the pulse of duality from fulcrum of oneness
celebrating even delusion made possible by form

thus both captive and free

latent tendencies
simmer in the subconscious 
surfacing in dreams

superficial silence
soapy film of a bubble 
bursts when tested

stuporous awareness
as yet bemused by illusions 
is blind to light of Self

to regain control
we bilocate consciousness 
in playful spontaneity...

Lots of politicians gathered together
Maximising target area
what too creepy
How much do you get for resigning again
You voted a walking beanbag twice
Presidents to Kings wanted
Psychopathic tendencies preferred
Anyone who wants to be a politician should never be allowed to 
Selling now

i live in contradicting realities
i wanna stop my impulsive tendencies
i wanna know what i'm seeing
'cause this is more than just a tease

you're so nice, so take this knife
and cut a pattern into my head
something i can understand
let me taste your melatonin-laced essence
so i can relax in your presence...

If I could sell away some baggage
Tears and fears would be first to list

My hubbies lackadaisacal attitude
My sore joints and perfectionist tendencies

My son's messiness and lack of sage
Clutter and papers need not exist

Inheritance clutter has in'eptitude
Weighing heavy on my thoughts

I see you little flower
Bright and quick 
Spiralling in your own
Desiccated gown
Of earth and dust
Sadness grows 
In the crack of broken
Concrete
Calling to 
My pedestrian
Tendencies 
Careful
Once 
Meted out 
I will 
Trample around your 
Petaled face
As I lumber through 
The 
The streets
In the 
Cold light of morning...
