Gross reminders can't touch this, unpleasantness
Bound to chosen can't touch this disbarredments
Rotten apples can't touch it decaying fossil peels
Undermining deposits won't touch disbarred reels
All those complicated speals
Transpress suspicions diluted religion
Additional information add up the cost division
Deemed unrest, just relax caress

What we seek
In the unpleasantness
We find in situations,
Times or experiences.
In the hopes of closure
In unfair treatment,
Disrespected and hurt
To an extent undeserved.
We seek a sense of
Peace and understanding
In releasing it all
Before putting things to an end.
We seek one final goodbye,
Hoping to hear another side
Or reasoning for their actions.
So we may reach closure.
Sometimes, we don’t get that.
We have to move on,
Accepting that closure
Between some
Will never be reached.
We can only put it behind us
And move on from the pain.
For closure is not about others
But finding it withing ourselves.
When seeking this closure,
It is determined by us
Whether it is reached or not.
Nobody else.
Closure
Is only done
In ourselves
With ourselves
For ourselves.

Today, let's organise a future life
And rearrange the pathways of the mind;
Spring-clean away the cobwebs which are rife
And polish everything that we can find.
New day, new start and everything is clean!
The sunlight reaches corners of the soul
And dissipates the dark clouds inbetween --
The places where life takes its daily toll.
Then ready for another day of life
When all we are is ready to move on;
Avoiding every argument and strife.
We know that the unpleasantness has gone.
It's then we look ahead and we can see
The pathways of the mind are clear and free.

Flatulence has many a name
I heard the poshest today
A saying oh so eloquent and fancy
It blew me away!
This saying is rather grand
Voiced only by the best
“Attention one and all”
“Who is responsible for?”
“That waft of unpleasantness”!!

They don’t part with loyalty:
Members of The Royalty:
Raiders grabbing a booty:
Just judge it your First Duty…
Big fault of The Royalty;
You can’t dodge its penalty:
Of unpleasantness fruity,
The chimney-black and sooty…
For true shows of loyalty
They must head Admiralty,
Their seats nicely Velvety;
Your Football Match Novelty…
All escapes from penalty
A drama of loyalty:
One’s back bending for kings sword
With its delicious “My Lord”;
Always from His Majesty,
“An Undeserved Amnesty”…
My Next World: A Royalty
On shoulders of loyalty.

For you, not for me.
The words I said to myself years ago.
While looking at what seemed like a reflection of myself.
With clenched fist knowing I didn’t ask for any of it.
Running away became a default feeling.
For a long time, I thought of it.
Then the opportunity came.
It was my birthday.
I didn’t have to stay anymore.
I chose to run that day.
Had I stayed,
I would have been continuously robbed of my happiness.
Fleeing from the unpleasantness was the only option for me.
Seeking to walk on a path that seemed tranquil and safe,
But unproductive to everyone around me.
I chose to run,
To find the road to stability.
To rid myself of the enforced pedestal.
To not lose the ‘sense of me’ that was left.
I chose to run.
With the words ‘for you not me’ echoing in my mind.
Had I stayed, I wouldn’t have given myself a chance.

My love was already blood
a burning lust,
Today, is melancholy loose
ethereal fluid of nostalgia,
it's just a deceitful anguish
that insists on running in me
(when I dream of her still),
still comes to my mouth
bitter taste unpleasantness...
Falls in drops,
drop by drop of the weakened bulge
from my cold soul heart
so sad...
Love is now cold,
but the blood stays warm
as if expecting return
from someone who for sure
will not return
to live another immense love!..!

A woman in Alaska,
With her brother on a hike,
Never dreamed that on a bathroom break
Unpleasantness would strike.
She sat down on the toilet
In an outhouse near a yurt
When she felt like something bit her
And she screamed because it hurt.
Her brother raced inside to see
Perhaps a squirrel there
But a glance into the bowl revealed
None other than a bear!
The wounds were superficial
But be warned before you strut
Into an Alaskan outhouse
Or a bear could bite your butt!

Fear, sheer fear, rules this once-great nation
Fear of missing out, fear that a 'virus' will sprout
Fear of stating a belief, fear of catching some grief
Fear of normal give-and-take, fear of what may be at stake
Fear of political incorrectness, fear of any unpleasantness
Fear of feckless authority figures, fear of academic rigor
Fear that someone is offended, fear of a BFF upended
Fear of getting caught cheating, fear of being seen 'meat-eating'
Fear of a vaccine injection, fear of the slightest hint of rejection
Fear of COVID or BIRD-FLU or AIDS ~ Fear to NOT be afraid...
In '33 FDR told us the only thing to fear is Fear itself.
Let's embrace his message, take Courage down from the shelf

One day it won't weigh
the idea of
lack of love...
Because one day
you will attain the blessings
of love... then you will be
so content you'll forget
any unpleasantness... !

Sunday did not pan out,
an iron faith faltered.
It was a wane wobble.
it was cellular rust,
it was not enough iron.
Iron pills rattle in me like BB pellets,
my stools are obsidian artifacts.
More red wine, less whine.
The day got no better,
anemic confusions swirled.
I sucked upon nuts and bolts,
listened to Metallica,
had to iron-out yet more
non-ferrous unpleasantness.

Never thought such a decade,
where its prelude seems to be the end.
Never imagined such times,
when humanity is at stake.
Never confronted such chaos,
where livelihood could be on the verge of extinction.
Never thought such a dearth,
where resources would be limited.
Never predicted such a plan,
which manifests Gods' unpleasantness.
Never thought any other planet could rescue us,
Protect the only Earth, its natural resources.

Escape into your heart;
Where your mind can't be found;
Flee into the fleeting muscles, pumping iron;
Flow within the vessels that inhabit dew;
Liquids of scarlet drops of quarrel;
Flee from out your head;
Those hurt full pangs you dread;
Sacrifice those killing scene;
Vanquish thoughts of unpleasantness;
Words hurt more than metal, sticks or stone;
And within my last breath...
Two face swords of tongues left;
