Ships
aground
all around
rolling, roiling
waters of midnight’s sudden surprise storm.
Willful winds usurp and fling sea vessels 
hither and yon
uncaring
ruthless
rush....

Slurp and Then Usurp

Then there was the time that I did slurp
Up all of the things which I would usurp;
Pretty son get,
Stomach upset,
When I forgot to stick feet in each stirrup.

A Twerp Who Did Usurp

Trump we did discover is really a twerp,
Who position of President he did usurp;
Face like stone;
Will leave alone;
While all of our earnings up would slurp.

As before, came dominant edicts, fracturing great hopes into just kindred like memories,

  No one possessed quiet recollection simply to usurp verbally, whenever Xenophobes yielded 

  zealousness....

Campbell's 'Soup' is no more, with its name change usurp,
Eating soup without a label, makes me a twerp,
I’ve sipped every bowl,
Now it’s taking a toll,
If I ladle soup, with no soup label, I’ll burp!...

Avoid becoming concrete.
Death encroaching
freezes great hearts.
Illuminate joy.
Kindle love.
Magnify!
Never orally
practice quaint
rhetoric. Speak truths.
usurp violent waters.
X-ray your zenith....

Under dim sky of doubt
umpteen times I’ve wondered,
unkind world would ever
usher in empathy. 
Utopian thought this,
unless the base instincts
usurp us forever.

LAMENTATION(A Quintain)

When my memory goes to work,I feel lost and down,
For oppression and poverty which many result to fate,
In abundance,few usurp power and so many suffer these I frown,
Corruption,theft,moral decadence multiply at a faster rate,
Oh!Mother nature,Good and bad;how can both mate?...

A man is born homo-Erectus
Into a world
Where women wants 
To usurp authority
A world where
Women will electrocute her man
If she can’t wrap him
Around her little fingers
Thus I often beg God
For one big favor…
Let me die
The death of the righteous
The day I become
An endangered mouse

Rejuvenated 






All desires washed away 
The azure weeps
To dark night's illumine
Sobs subtle heart
Some reflections of past
Usurp my sleeps
As all life rests tranquil
For a fresh start !

Thesaurus sits waiting
ready for my direction
autumn feelings usurp it
fly buzzes by my left ear

dogs stare curiously at me
waiting for a signal
second fly lands on my right ankle
robins and wrens converse

their garbly gook sounds serious
we are all calm here
my dogs and I
loving the outdoors today...

Enthralling nature nurtures with care 
Awesome biosphere of the blue planet,
Repository of a unique habitat in lifeless space.
Tracing the diverse lineage of life’s evolution
Humans arrived to capture and usurp the land.

(Coup de grâce)

Oh, it’ll be so easy if only
I, in collusion with
the angels and the demons,
usurp God from heaven.

It will be a crucial coup
to overthrow God
and enthrone the Devil.

With such malice and hostility 
of man toward man
it’s beneficial to let the devil
take over for a change
and let humankind destroy itself....

Suck off

Ted’s teaching grandma to suck eggs
“Don’t patronise me lad,” she begs
"It’s a job I can do
SO much better than you
Just scarper on your asses legs!"

Gran whispers words I won’t repeat
Ted’s blushes as red as a beet
She is so worldly wise
And it is no surprise 
This jackass won’t usurp her seat!

So much to say
To me today
But come what may
I live this day


Each moment tells
Of how I dwell
With a clear spell
That speaks so well


Life pokes my skin
As puncture pins
A certain win
Unknown, unseen


My diary page
Frames witty age
Where pain and rage
Usurp odd stage


Now that I cite
A feisty write
I take a bite,
Fly a kite

There is nothing simple about poetry
Because it is from the heart and the soul
She wells out of us onto the paper in
A variety of overwhelming moods
In a plethora of feelings
With a life of her own

It is our job to listen to her intently
And to follow her lead. Not trying to
Usurp her in any way,

Taking care rather to
Soul-listen to her
Allowing her
Freedom to
Tell us
What she
Wants to
Say....

I was created fragile
Meant to remain mild
To usurp all that comes with time
Upon moments I rely
For that defines my life
And with lessons I thrive

But the passing time had me shaped
Concealing the real purpose I was created
Toughened and hardened till I baked
Craving with time to be saved
For the burden in silence sails to no avail
Until there seems to be no pace
And My frailty finally broken with age...

COPLA TREINTA Y NUEVE: This Bad Guy World

In cauldrons of faith gods fester
Legions of bigots follow blind:
Some sane more mad

In between shades of good better
And the best taint all of a kind:
Motley mass mud

Between the gods and the mad mass
Lodge those bound by rituals rites:
Usurp gods’ edicts

Priests who love to massage the mass
Arrogating heavenly rights:
God’s politics

As I sleep, outside falls soft sleet and the winds sweeps most of it away. 
 The birds chirp as I usurp the position of a late sleeper today.
 I wouldn't want to wake up too soon, in my comfy blanket cacoon
 but as always, I must anyways.
 I almost miss the quiet hiss 
 that signals the need of my cat getting its feed.
 After the summer's heat killing
 and the fall's sudden chilling
 it almost feels thrilling
 at the autmun parade....

Cancer may redefine your life
	or cause you to do so

	but it does not define you

It is not you, by definition
	in fact it is the anti-you

It may invade, destroy, usurp
	your physical self
may distort, cloud, hijack
	your mind
may jaundice and weaken
	your emotional state

	but it does not touch your spirit
	cannot affect your soul

Do not usurp the place of honor,
For it may be taken from you.
The Lord speaks of this in a parable
It’s a warning for me and for you.

Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord,
Do not hold your head up so high.
All of your talents a gift from the Lord.
You can fall in the blink of an eye.

He who exalts himself will be humbled.
He who humbles himself may be praised.
In your pride you might easily falter.
Leave room enough to be raised.
