A Vain Request

Pain is much too personal for verse,
Don’t curse
The reader with your anger-anguished words.
Rhyme flowers, sun and birds.

“Hey, when is my turn?”
asks the horse.
“Hold your horses,” 
says the plastic surgeon,
“while I give the duck
a quick nip and tuck.”

Listen to poem:
mozzie squadron fleets
roaring overhead in droves
dive to ear in waves
scream whining hisses so loud
that my swipes beats my brains out

Vain Illusion

Laying bleeding my insanity
Choking in a pool of my vanity
Blinded by my pride and couldn't see
Cracking the mirror doesn't change reality

Vain Glory

In vain,
The entire body had taut veins,
For vain glory,
Brought immense pressures,
To cut them down to size,
One looked for a good thresher.

                   deeply bloody dove
                               It is a pure tragedy,
                               Our honor to die.

Bees labor not in vain
For their task is plain.
Listen - how they hum 
Around the myoporum.
Purple buds then show forth
Declaring their handiwork.

All In Vain

all the trouble 
that it took to 
dig way into the
heart of the matter 
was fought all in vain 
cause in the bitter end 
it all fell to the wayside

Lived In Vain

Dear Emily,

I saw the red robin you mentioned 
in the street today,
since I live in NYC,
how does one actually put a wayward bird back into its nest?

Cut My Vain

Can't let the steel cut my vain  even though,i'll make no gain
The world's pain inside   let the darkness hide me
put aside this black ink   color your paper pink

Vain Old Man Blues

A foot-long-strand-of-hair is one of my fears
So I sharpen and oil up my trimming shears
Ev'ry organ that senses
Gets pruned to the fences
Ain't no bird gonna' nest in THIS old man's ears....

Giving Up On Vain Dreams

I would give up on vain dreams...the ones that won't let me see how
life is lived without the tears and the fears of being unloved:
if one of them drew a beautiful rainbow in my sunless sky!

All In Vain

Two-thirty in the morning at my window.
Moonlit dark centiment, I feel windblown.
Convict compliment,
heartless at sundown,
and as the morning comes
the need dies down.
At sunrise all is forgotten

Premium Member Vanity and Vain

The end is only a farce
The beginning is far away
There is only a vacuum 
A hollow voidancy 
Life is vain
A floating lily
hovering in futility
Seeking a transient haven
Settling my tomorrow today

Searching In Vain

Carrying your heart 
Inside my pocket
I traveled the world
Searching for love
When fate was unkind
You never complained 
As I forgot to thank you
  —time after time

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2014)

In Vain

In vain I hide my heart
from evil

In vain I ring-fence my body
from earthly desires

In vain I build my house
to control floods

In vain I train my children
To be virtuous

In vain I open my mouth and talk
To get justice

Premium Member The Flight of Time


Time flies with pace, mutely, unheard,
Each moment a departing bird,
A whispered breeze, a fleeting thought,
The battles lost, the lessons taught,
Time squandered in vain is lost time,
Let`s make the most when the heart chimes.

Vain

cut our roads
while do not place bets
our fight in vain

a storm approaching
slience was characterized by an
our vain yell

dark to collapse
will be lost loved ones
our vain fears

unknown to each step
we take road but
our vain search

Vain Is In

Vixen and voluptuous
Acutely aware of her good looks
Inspiring other to tan and diet
Narcissistically she has us hooked

Insane with the blonde locks
Sexy in the way she will always be

In spite of what is healthy 
Neurotically vain is all I see
