Leave of absence has finally ended

( Picture a Wrestling ring The Rock's music playing only I'm the one in the ring about to deliver a promo straight from the Attitude Era)
 Finally Morbid has come back to Poerysoup.com!
That's right folks I am back it's been a while, more surgeries kept me sidelined and I spent a while writing raps and battling on RapPad.co that was fun but too much drama. I had to walk away from it. I'll hopefully be writing more soon. I've missed you all!

hurt Europe

Hurt Europe
Starmer and Macron dislike leaving the scene of a crime, not yet concluded, they will meet for lunch to discuss how they can prolong the Ukraine war and help Zelinsky win over Putin’s Russia, they have been sidelined by Trump who wants peace and gets his praise, a Nobel Medal
Trump, the man doesn't want them meddling it is his alone, needs not a humiliated Europe to snag get their foot in with left-winged nonsense Rutte, the new NATO boss has read the ruins he talks about China to please the USA and thinks of sending troops to defend Indonesia.
After lunch, Starmer had lamb chops, Macron had oysters they walked to the Louvre and spoke about European culture, forgetting Europe is not a state but a landmass of many countries that might not share their knowledge of Rodin, later they went to Cabaret in Montmartre

Leave of absence This is NOT a poem Just my real life

Hey all I know that I haven't been active on here for a while. I've been having some health issues lately that have been keeping me sidelined. That and trying to mentally prepare for a 7th major spinal fusion operation with revisional repairs to the current hardware already inside of my back. I'm about to be fused from shoulder blades all the way down to my tailbone. That's really going to make moving around fun. Another multi level neck fusion surgery is on the horizon as well. I'm going to be like Michael Keaton's Batman. Having to pivot at the waist for any moment... But I don't know if I can even do that when everything is done.



It's taking a toll on me mentally and emotionally. It's just a lot to process. I'll be back again, but I just don't have the creative juices that I used to right now.



Take care everyone

Wedding Cake

Strange is a wedding that sidelined cake.
Many appear at one for its sake.
We have dreams of time to one bake,
For Rich Cake begin to time stake…

Cake for weddings even if fake;
For the supreme sense it does make,
Refusing to heed the Old Snake,
Going ahead to bliss awake…

Cakes cutting goes with love wish
For bride and bride groom main dish:
Together, they hold its knife
Their journey starts: Husband and Wife!

Cake is the first pride of flour,
And does challenge the Bride’s Flower:
A part of great cake Vanilla
I’d packet mine in Manila…

“Thousands” when lips want to cake cost
“A Million Dollars” I’ll be lost!

I Love You

You have changed me entirely.
I remain attracted to you,
 even on stormy weathers.
It was always about what I felt for you,
 over what was in front of me.
I ignored the red flags hoping,
 you would realise how much it hurt and change.
I love you.
But whenever has a leopard changed its spots?
I sidelined my feelings,
 for the relationship to continue.
I am emotionally bruised,
 but it is whatever because,
I love you.
I would take anything you threw my way,
 as long as we remained together.
People advised me to leave.
You convinced me I am nothing,
 without you and so I believed.
I love you.
The thought of not being with you irked me so bad.
Rather cut off those I knew before
 to accommodate you.
If they are trying to tell me,
you are bad for me.
I would rather tell them how being with you,
 hurt so good.
How used to the abuse I have become.
And how I do not know,
 I would survive without that.
I love you.

Discarded

The red flag was constantly waving staring one directly in
              one's face discarded by one's mind, body, and soul sidelined.
               
              Discarded emotionally, isolated physically alone? Agony, defeat,   
               cheated on played like a violin and pounded upon like a drum.
              
              Chapters of escaped, abandonment, lies, and Self-discovery, A
              breathe of rejuvenation of calm, relaxed and healing state of mind,

Angel Rift Star Dust

Angel rift star dust

In one hand
The sun
In the other
The moon
In the mind 
The earth
In the heart 
The space to comprise it all

But I have skimmed the rim of the abyss
Stood on the edge of a ledge and blew it a kiss
Took a dive from so high to enjoy the freefall
Than I stayed for a day in the heart of sheol

I got those streamlined moves timed to avoid the hate
I got those sidelined hooves signed by the eye of fate

I'm dipping diamonds in gold for the souls that you sold
I'm lifting layers of lies from the beats you baptized

Using that haptic magic
Fantastic acoustic

Let the mind drift
The heart combust
Tripping on my angel rift star dust

Inclusivity

I've long been sidelined for being different 
And I had to work extra hard to get to where I'm at
Cause barriers were set on our path
From words of dismissal to being put down
And I hope it ends with me 

For some of the people with disability
Ain't as strong as me
Some break from within and hide
And then be afraid of expressing 
Their desires while they've got voices that need to be heard 

So from my art I'll always try to speak for them 
Until they are able to come out the shadows 
To speak of their struggles cause we all have stories
Stories that inspire us on the dark days
Cause we believe that they need to be heard 

At times I'd go to sleep, hoping
Hoping that when I wake I find the world's inclusive
Not to see me as someone in need
But to see me as someone with a different need
Due to my challenges as disabled 

And before I sleep I always pray
That the same hearts that like a nice laugh
Or the same faces that beam with joy when they smile
Have the same stead on issues of disability 
Cause we not a minority, there's more of us everyday

You Don'T Call Me Baby Anymore

You do not call me ‘baby’ anymore.
Have I grown too old to yet adore?
Maybe another interest is in store?
Our passion’s not a pleasure but a chore,
and I am not the golden girl of yore.

Your warming smile no longer lights my door.
Is it another person you adore?
Must I at last farewell to our amour,
And look in others faces to explore,
Cause you don’t call me ‘baby’ anymore.

How sad it is to be a sidelined spree,
remembering how much I gave of me.
I make requests to God on bended knee,
“Take this stain of sin and set me free.
Heal love blinded eyes so truth I see.”

Resumption of Daily Nightly Constitutional Lap2

Just on the cusp of experiencing joie de vivre,
the triumvirate of Crooks and Quade
figuratively swoop down
to announce re: inspection
of apartment unit B44
whenever they deem appropriate.

Thus series of unfortunate events
(linkedin with bull limey
Lemony Snicket bro)
got sidelined nsync with
contracting a minor bout
with deadly Amish Flu
symptoms found garden variety reasonable rhymer
bedridden feeling a little horse and buggy (ha),
incapacitated to craft signature poetry writing.

An honest to dog confession
regarding hiatus spewing forth
vociferous versatile vocabulary
mine words - worth their weight in gold
(told woofer I do not know), nevertheless
included perusing a gamut of reading material.

The passion to engross intellect
witnessed courtesy immersing
attention, concentration, excitation
gratification, intoxication;
knowledge prized more precious
than fine spun gold.

Likewise crafting (albeit painstakingly)
elusive notions that flit
to and fro hither and yon
(analogous to ping pong ball)
within parameters of
microscopically crenellated
sixty plus shades of gray matter
also constitutes fervent interest.

A Shout Into the Void

I shout at Dad, I shout at Mum
I shout because my life's humdrum
a snap snap snapping teen snare drum
I was so dumb; I was so dumb.

I shout at him, them, and others
each and everyone that smothers
I want my life, not another's
stupid mothers, stupid mothers

I shout aloud inside my mind.
I lost my job, was I sidelined?
my entire life is undermined
credit declined, credit declined.

I shout because I have to eat
I sell myself like rancid meat
I learn to practice self-deceit
walking the street, walking the street.

I shout because I'm so annoyed
this stupid world is so devoid
of feelings about life destroyed
into the void, into the void.

Timelessly

We play fools with this life. We all take turns. No one gets through their life without being burnt.

Quick step or Waltz your dance maybe or even a Jive. But get taken out at the knee and be sidelined for life. 

Confidence lives in your heart until the grey hairs come out. Caution then constantly, living life watching out.

That old young person you used to know, you used to be. Imagine what they’d say about you now if you met timelessly. 

We all age like fine wines. We all store wisdom of life. But it ain’t bad getting old, no more being scared of the nights.

A Void of Thought

You do not know what you do not know,
devoid of thoughts your mind holds in escrow.
Missing breaths and short flickers of twilight
may induce your awareness to take flight.
Attention wanes, there is no afterglow.

Body intact, the mental functions go.
Notions remix in your brain's portmanteau
lacking needed emotional insight.
You do not know.

Like a bad dream where visions do not flow,
like when chaff from grain refuses to blow,
the void is that sidelined space satellite
circling, still circling unable to light.
Casting you in Alzheimer's blurred shadow,
you do not know.

She Stood

transfixed
watching fish and fauna
sauntered eyes darting
to her bipedal crank
species nearly gone
The fish of stars
slutters across the glass
Crabs eyeballed sidelined
Horses of the sea
canter throbbing waves
Is that Shark hammered
as his weave meanders
bowing seaweed puckers
Flattened fish
Angelic swains
Dolphins with purpose
listen to krill trill with glee
all from from the deep come
to see the last human in the humanatarium
Please don't tap the glass
it seems to make them uneasy
