The Jackfruit and the Flies

We were eating a jackfruit
Suddenly some flies
Smelling odor from somewhere
Came as the unwanted guests.

The heat takes away my water,
The Flames lick my skin,
The smoke swallows me up.
My tenants flee from the unwanted guest.

we need to quiet our hips and thighs

You figure it out.

Ego between stints -
narcissistic derelicts
scope the classifieds.
Vanity cracks masked mirrors -
Arrogance need not apply.

The Best Snow Day Ever

Crashing salt trucks 
A brief reprieve from the cold
But not from the other
Unwanted warmth of
A hundred score burning bodies

Smoldering

Women contaminating unborn children
With killer lungs
Slowly became our unwanted deceptive profit
And yet will clearly continue

The Unwanted Beauty

My skin was black, the sort of darkness that sins are are created in, the darkness that meets the morning ray, a sort of magical kingdom.

clean out

our drawers.

Feelings…
like wisps of cobwebs clinging,
cannot be shaken away.

They lie there,
unwelcome and unbidden,
Like unwanted guests come to stay.

my heavy spirit lightens
chaos becomes clear

Burden

A burden for my family
A burden for my society
Till now I am a burden
One of the unwanted men
I am in wrong time and wrong place
So blush is all over my face!

Premium Member The Ghost of the Attic Rat

A creature, unwanted -
at last, a snap killed that  
adversary, vaunted.
Above, like Marley's ghost,
he drags a clanging trap -
the foul rat that haunted.

Premium Member Unwanted

Unwanted
Nobody’s choice,
A lone star adrift,
Unwanted
Nobody’s beloved,
A broken piece of glass,
Unwanted
Nobody’s treasure
A dead leaf floating away.

Premium Member Nature’s Art Rendition

Dandelions bountiful spot the lawns
Adding unwanted colour where it’s not welcome
Persnickety eye of the beholder

universal undercurrent understandings, utilizing
unequivocally ugly, unwise, unwanted, unaware,
utilitarian usurpers.
