Short Vulnerabilities Poems

Megan Markle's lost her sparkle
  Prince Harry's nothing if not wary

Oprah preys on their vulnerabilities
  Eggs on their petty antipathies...

Too stubborn to confess 
giving away small hints 
In an desperate attempt 
You will notice 
Day after day 
Over and over 
Showcasing my subtle 
Vulnerabilities....

I sit quietly
Appearing calm to others
Saving my wise ways for later
Keeping silent, unconcerned
Aware of my vulnerabilities
My power hidden
In an unassuming old lady body
If they knew, they would fear me...

Vessel 
Venturing through
Vehement whirlpools
Victory seems unconfident 

Midst mountainous  
Maddening vulnerabilities
Mission accomplished

daring to trust ~ strangers open up

they expose their vulnerabilities
making them human
and receptive to the connection
that bonds their souls

and strangers they are no longer

In the midst of
nothingness,
Searching through
darkness,
Embracing
loneliness,
Comprehending
vagueness,

Befriending
uncertainties,
Playing with
vulnerabilities,
Absorbing
obscurities,
Appreciating
difficulties,

Drudging
malfunctions,
Living with
illusions,
Addicted to
intrusions,
Slave of
temptations,...

I like an empty trash basket.
It tempts me to fill it with wads of wasted effort
In a futile attempt to write the words 
That will finally win your heart.
Perhaps when hell freezes over,
But it’s a freakishly warm day in mid-December.
When the offering basket is full
Of ardent vulnerabilities
I'll dump it out, count my blessings, 
And start over....

Gently probing her vulnerabilities
     seeking only the slightest advantage
   He parries her feints most delicately
     awaiting an opening to do some damage...
 
   When she, shockingly, reveals a secret so deep
     then casts aside his sword to weep
   and declare: A man who jousts with a lady fair
     is mete to unseat in her heart's affairs...

DESQUAMATE

desquamate they say
is to shed the outer layer of skins,
but how often do we
take onboard others opinions,
said,
wrote,
expressed,
in haste,
disgust,
in hateful scorn,
and then we become
owners of a thin skin,
as barbs penetrate
and strip away,
our vulnerabilities of worth,
however with praise,
and a raising up of one
an overcoat of hope
becomes our protective membrane.

You used to be that tempest
A raging tempest in a moving car
Thunder echoes in your chest
A chest keeping all that is bizarre
Relinquished every last in a heartbeat
Unshrouding your vulnerabilities
You whispered to the one who'd make the sky split
To the one who knows your past victories
Tell's about this hamster wheel
Wheeling through your afterthought 
You sure sound like a tempest, still
Still a tempest, just in a broken teapot...

If ever you’re giving your heart away,
I'm first in queue.
If ever you’re ready to surrender to love,
I will submit with you.
If ever you want to conquer mountains of destiny,
I will climb with you.

I see divine tendencies in you,
let me submerge in it.
Unburden your fears, 
show me your vulnerabilities
don't remain taciturn
We can unpack together. 

I feel your soul,
It illuminates my darkness.
Let’s fall in love fearlessly....

      Poetry is, a Martial Art.
  To give, receive angled view,
  looks and feels, old and new.
  Moves softly, with lethality.
 Delivers strikes out of chaos ballet.
     Focusing, on vulnerabilities.

The battle ensues, in the yin and yang, ebb and flow.
 Each 'rain, drops the bow, in lieu tenanting the blow by blow. Beauty and pain.

"I call this one the "look at me now b itches, I am a butterfly now, technique."

Imperfections 

Life can be hard
But can become good
If you make yourself a guard
As one always should
So you don’t break down
And lose all your composure
So you do not drown
And do not get exposure
Into your flaws and insecurities
So you do something others don’t like
So you can get rid of vulnerabilities
So you will not mentally spike
You let the rivers run in a devilish color
Until you can’t see any longer
