Uninvited
Uninvited death slowly entered during her illness
Engulfing her old, frail body
Slowly and higher came the stillness
Which at any time can affect anybody
Night's embrace grows colder with each breath,
While the clouds drift on a somber quest,
Even time pauses at the doorstep of death,
Holding her moments in an eternal rest.
I knew I had died when the

Seussome Story
The Cat in a Hat
sat on a mat
(the mat was flat)
when
Pat a bat
who was fat
(a flying rat)
chasing a gnat
(the gnat went zzzat)
dropped in
(splat!)
for a chat
(what a brat)
but
(tit for tat)
was told to scat
imagine that!
(Moral of the story: Uninvited unwelcome)

Memory at the Door
She knocks on my rib cage
seeking access to my heart again
The knock—the pounding pestle—
taunts, its echo won’t stand to be ignored
I hold my knees and cover my ears
as if that’ll keep my walls untampered
I let my flesh wrap me whole—
so tight I might suffocate,
but I cannot breathe outside this
prison, no—this haven
She’s still

Where do thoughts come from, these uninvited guests that silently creep into my mind like shadows?
Where do thoughts come from, these uninvited guests that silently creep into my mind like shadows?
Do they sneak from corners of my soul I dare not visit, dark and unknown places?
They sit in my mind like unwanted visitors, asking questions I cannot answer, rearranging the furniture of my peace,
Leaving before I notice what's missing, leaving

Peacespeaker
Parties and narcotics claimed your kind affection
End of our rocky road, all mattered except I
And now fifteen years passed you sought my attention
Coming at the wrong time when my heart closed its eyes
End of my marriage was the beginning of yours
Sad songs of misery and sorrow ruled my time
Put my past in its grave and

Seven Uninvited Guests
The gathered, outside my house, lingered long,
As if it were Halloween night -
A rogue's gallery of goblins and ghouls,
They were an unwanted sight.
Their faces had a strange semblance of masks,
Looking like twisted versions of me.
Yet, they wished to completely devour my soul,
Piece by piece, by degree.
Drooling, they looked under the mat for a key,
But I

God Cometh As The Uninvited Guess
Heavenly Master, mirror-less races ...,
fat, thin, tall, short, friend, foe--didn't you know?
Soul choose sin--soulless|soul forgive saves--us.
Saved souls Heaven bound|ground zero soulless,
selves/reborn, lame bod/mind--restored, UP ... GO!
Heavenly Master, mirror-less races ...,
Scriptures were Written, contemps..., made lawless.
Man can't deny soul's Heaven? God said so!
Soul choose sin--soulless|soul forgive saves--us.
God needs 12 votes, could pass? Ridiculous!
West--still Wild! Protestant?

Uninvited Guest
Two friends with haughty heads on long neck’s crest,
can’t enter nearby house through door for fest.
Dinner time of elation,
can’t control temptation,
sneak through window as uninvited guest.

Uninvited hades
infant sucked up in red waters
old buried in the red pools
it's a pity
on a black day
dies Mr pity
on a pity day
in a pity time
into a pity grave
in a black out
it's a pity
when I looked into the skies
I could see heroes gone
before their time during the black day

The Uninvited Rain
Slowly came the uninvited rain
Started to get fast
Sounded like-
Sizzling bacon on a pan
Sleeping insects woke to its sound
Silently, watching this scene
Soil got moist, settled, and wet
Stops the wind, and the rain stops too
Slowly it came, slowly it went
Sight of the water from skies stops

Uninvited Poop
He ate a bowl of spicy soup
Though hot, he had it in large scoop
He felt his bowels growl
He started farting foul
Before he knew, came out the poop

Uninvited Visitors
The demons of my mind come and visit me every night - taking satisfaction in the pain they bring my way
Though I lay in seek - of a peaceful evening’s sleep
They choose my worries as a playground on which to play
With howls and screams which pierce through my dreams - they

Unwarranted Uninvited Party Pooper Dinner Guest
And here tonight I assumed
This would be just another one
of those average dinner parties
With a stream of boring associates and
their plus 1 partner or other
But wow
Hey you
Are so different from all the other's
Why I am so glad I bumped into you
and for you taking your time to introduce
yourself and engage with me in
conversation
Bacause you are

Uninvited
You are uninvited
And though yes though i am
just at the tender age of 19
I am not frightened
To have my say
Be dismissed as a minor
As having nothing relevant
on offer worthy of listening
to all
But millions of jagged little
pills sold beg to differ
As nothing proves i hear you like
Platinum and Gold framed
disks and multiple awards
Matters not if
