just to be 
feeling your
Honesty....

Poetry is a seat you struggle to get comfortable in and when you do you change seats.

A sliding of time, one fatal move
And you've become the reflection.
Walking ever so uncomfortably,
In the other mans shoes....

Is there no way left to go but round?
the scenery uncomfortably familiar
dizzying remorse
exhausted excuses
hoarse from screaming,
I LOVE YOU!

Unusually uninviting ultraviolets unleashes unrelenting unpleasantness underneath unique umbrellas,

uncomfortably upsetting us, 

until umbra unexpectedly unloads ultimate Utopia upon us....

By Trump Humiliated and Intimdate

Maybe by Trump are being intimidated;
Wherever we are uncomfortably situated;
Act on stage,
Latest rage;
Him as President have been humiliated.

He looks for
the part that
breaks his breath.
.
When he can't
find it life feels
uncomfortably smooth.
.
He occupies 
his early mornings
in tiny fabrications.
.
Heart full of fear,
he would say, What would 
life be without woe?...

LIFE AND DEATH

The idea of death
The reality of death
Though close
In youth the two seem poles apart
Yet, as one gets older
As spirit slowly leaves the body
That husk – with lingering now mentality –
Reluctantly finds self uncomfortably squeezed 
Between the two...

grew up on prozac
and paranoid bouts
had faith in nothing
but unrelenting doubts
had a broken mind
that was a bit too complicated
kept it consistently medicated
to make life simplicated
candy to keep her quiet
and uncomfortably numb
she knew how to bottle it
bottle it and run...

Granted I was exhausted,
nothing more than usual. 
An innocent toddler staring at me
in a concerning manner, says
 “Wow…your eyes are old.” 
Laughing uncomfortably, I slightly coughed. 
The next fifteen minutes was spent lifting my eyebrows 
hoping to smooth my worn, wrinkled forty - two year old eyes....

Racing through the night
Our hearts must take flight

As the beasts give chase
We flee from our fall from grace

Consumed by sin
We desperately ignore the evil within

The devil lurks near, preying on our fear
The apex of insanity becomes uncomfortably clear

We are young and we are mislead
We are apathetic and we are dead...

They come out 
on weekends
Dad, it's almost 
always Dad
with a daughter 
or son.
He stands just a 
little too close,
smiles just a 
little too long
uncomfortably 
comfortable
wondering
how it ever
got this way.

He cannot answer
all the questions
they both know
things sometimes
change but
he will always 
be there
helping as best 
he can....

. for public domain

Tragic tears bare sour salt.
So saline the flavor,
although no one's at fault.

Uncomfortably warm
as they roll down the cheek.
Heat from an inner storm?

They always seem to stream
from the lips to the tongue,
rudely end a dream.

Our souls need to be rinsed,
cleanse too pleasant a sleep;
cruelty of life, evinced....

When the night is dark,
The illusion appears from the depth.
Fear and expectation
Inexpressible contradiction
 
Ignorance proved by the denial
It’s so dark,
completely dark!
 
When the sun comes out
The illusion returns to the shadow.
Tears and confusion
Unforgivable delusion
 
Clarification made through the light
It’s so bright,
Uncomfortably bright!...

IN THIS UNSANCTIFIED MOMENT I AM UNCOMFORTABLY UNVIELED
AND I STAND BEFORE YOU NAKED STARING AT THE HOLY GRIAL
NOW ONLY BROKEN DREAMS LAY CRUSHED UPON THE FLOOR
IN THE FLUID OF MY PAIN AND YOUR BETRAYL

PAST PAINFULLY CLENCHED TEETH  I SCREAM,
THE ASTONISHMENT IS GONE SHOT DEAD IN FLEEING
IT FALLS TO THE GROUND, THE MUD, IT'S DIRTY
AND ALL THATS LEFT NOW IS THE BLOOD AND ANGUISH
A STARTLING QUIET SETTLES OVER AND WE DEPART...

Maybe I'm going to Wonderland;
Maybe I'll never land.
I'm too old for Neverland,
I should have planned.

Everything is upside down,
Everyone thinks I'm happy,
But I'm really wearing a frown.

I'm flying uncomfortably high,
When will I drift down?

How did I get here?
When will this end?
Send a cavalier!

It feels like I'm falling.
I'm just dropping,
Down to my death.
So I'll take my last breath.

We suspected as much before we saw their wedding cake
With the bride raising the groom in the air, our friend Lake
Lake laughed uncomfortably, being embarrassed a tiny bit.
I was kind of hoping that this guy would not go through with it.

But they got married, and she spun him around.
She was the bossiest woman he could have ever found.
We heard a bit later that Lake went underground.
I figured out where he was, but he made not a sound....

the sun’s temperature exceeded the absoluteness of herself
every day this week had been one hundred and six or higher
I saw the sun now as oranges and reds, no longer innocent yellow
What is she doing to us? I wondered, will we perish?
Will it be our own fault? Because of what we have done to the ozone layers?
Too sticky and humid to think, the worst uncomfortably hot.
Her orange eyes bored through the guilt of my soul.
I was not innocent in this....

Used to be an individual
now I'm just a complex number
stripped away from my own individuality
made me uncomfortably wake from my
slumber.

Used to be a boy wonder.
I was living the life.
Didn't think I'd get sucked under,
didn't think I'd end up wanting to kill myself
with a hunting knife.

My wrongful deeds have made me feel as if I'm living in a 
dreadful still life picture,
wishing someone would look at me
and reconsider and view me as a normal fixture....

one night stand of

smooth & absolute

dark

walnut

finish

(once soaked & lathered in

varnish, no doubt)

sits in the corner of the bedroom

reminding of the

madcap,

turbulently unbridled &

dare

one

might

say,

violent

pillow fight

had between two laughing teenagers

bursting with

energy,

in the attempt to drown out the

uncomfortably

cacophonous

sounds being produced by

two

consenting

adults

engaging in rough sex in the neighboring

apartment....

My stomach turns slowly,
It’s contents moving about,
becoming saturated
In the acid that climbs into
My throat, burning like liquor.
Sweat beads squeeze out
Of my pores as I am suddenly 
Uncomfortably warm,
The waves of wetness slick
My skin despite attempts
to continually wipe it dry. 
My mouth fills with saliva
As the nausea intensifies,
And I try to comfort myself 
By rocking back and forth
And whispering calming words 
Into the dark, empty room....

They break up 
His happy, while she’s crying
Eager to find someone ells he messes with other girls 

Beneath her she wants to cry but she’s strong and holds it in
Revealing her true feelings to him, he laughs and walks away
Envy his new girl she does 
Angry she walks away and finds someone ells 
Kidding around she tells him she loves him 

Uncomfortably he says it back she laughs and says 
Perhaps you shouldn’t have laughed at me look at who’s laughing now...

Sinking in a sea of Me
I gurgle, choke and bubble
down I go into my depths
into a world of trouble

Immersed in self, I cannot breathe
I'm suffocated so
I writhe and turn uncomfortably
with nowhere else to go

The stifling space inside my brain
gets smaller all the while
until I find a rope to grasp
within another's smile

Once heaved and pulled up, out again
I finally I catch my breath
saved from Myself, a fate I fear
was something worse than death!...

A reflection caught in the moonlit glass

Eyes dark and cold like broken stars

The blood mingles with the black cold rain

As the life that was here disappears down the drain

The stone cobbled street, this is where it is - under your feet!

A shadow casts for you to see the black of you standing there.

A point in time where you crossed the line! 

A point in time that is only thine as forever now you will be 

Uncomfortably lost alone in your own company....
