Repugnant, Indignant, Truculent –
tell a lady she looks older than her age 
and you’ll get an expert demonstration
on how these words get proper usage....

To him all women are hallowed
minus those that hustle themselves.

How instantly and cunningly
they commit truculent acts
yet never bribed by mischief

except by rendezvous....

Briddeled in your spitefullness ,
each tortures lost despair.
Empty now through circumstance,
you've plotted your way there.
Truculent for empty causes,
the smears upon our face.
Never have you searched for wisdom,
ineptness took its place.
Nincompoop......

It rains own the fringe 
doon the barrel of a syringe

own a generation raised 
own intangible dreams 
Promises made an broken 
some real and others unspoken 
live's wir left Floatin 
own a truculent an barren 
landscape of limited means...

A truculent woman named Jools
was discovered cheating at boules
Tossing balls in the air
Jools was heard to declare
oh those rules are just made for fools!

***a little poetic licence as I understand boules is pronounced 'bull'***

     I too have become the
         truculent knave
             fractious
              oh yes 
                testy
              peevish
             so cranky
     for the winter hides
           the flower's
               bloom
                 yes
        from mine eyes...

What is there within this vagrant lady
That I can neither hear nor see,
That I fail to acquire or fathom
And still it beckons me?

Is not she but a blood stain in the moon---
A bit of water, plasma, enzymes?
And yet she plays upon her bong a truculent tune
As if Karma had not kissed her with his fangs!...

While no colors
Tinge over my skin
Your sepia eyes
Ink tattooed
Upon my spirit
Under sleeve…

A beauty so steadfast
Breathless
Innocence awash
Across heavy riptides
Dancing within
Truculent waves

Bartering dawn for dusk
Warmth for solitude
Aching to hold that gaze
Only momentarily
Touching a delicate taste
Of fiery gossamer 

No ink stains
Illustrating you and I
Only beauty of yesterday
Ever imprinted
On who I once was
Tattooed…...

No one tells you how lonely it is
Sitting in the kitchen floor at 2am
The taste of metallic resolution
The weight of conviction

No one tells you about the numbness
Extremities floating softly
The dull whisper of water
The warmth of surrender

No one tells you about the satisfaction
An agonizing temptation
Tantalizing milky canvas
Tortured artist begging for release

No one tells you about the end
How quiet it gets
Temperamental judgement
Truculent rage...

On ever  rushing glowing light;
Surprised by the ultimate
Immersed through the waters bright
multiple cellular truculent covenant

How Nature's passion stirs up my reactions
Climate change so disarray
Expense this year abstraction
Humanities collusion illusions ballet

Pollution the solution is more
Try cold blackened Calais airways
Environmental forces encore
Turbulent Nature's sprays blaze

Apocalypse
