Unripened Poems


Premium MemberThe Journey of Man's Soul

     God signs off on His handiwork
        releases into the world a human soul
     First inside the womb and then outside
        that soul begins to unfold  

     For mankind yearns to be free, free of direction
         ignores all instruction as its sets sail
     Free of direction and of directions
         Freedom the goal, man’s Holy Grail   

     With good luck comes wonder
         at creation, at a cosmos so awesome
     Though the journey leads, inevitably, 
         to frustration, disappointment, unripened blossoms… 

     Then the cruelest blow when eventually
         the unfolding process reverses
      The ramrod-straight frame 
         folding in on itself as it rehearses

      its return to its Maker, Who delivered it here
         Who lets man search vainly for freedom 
          and come up empty year after year
             ~ for only His Truth makes everything clear

Fuctosee Entry Number Hy- Tium

The screws in his knee are made of huiziumcarbonate
When adrenlinecalicumate is introduced to bone marrow
The interior of the bone hardens to a bone as strong as steel.
. It also makes muscle huge hard strong muscle. The film showed him using a claw on unripened cantolopes. He gripped a stone the size of a horses head and applied pressure and he crushed the stones.
Mad Hatter even developed a skin type material that bonds to a wounded person area and temporarily heels. It is used in medicine.
They banned it in sports due to the incredible increase in strength.
His ex-wife showed up at the tail end of a party. He is so stupid.
She needed money, I guess he thought we'd call him a stud or something.
He took her in. Days and days later. He told me a story about the Scarecrow coming to life after he got her pregnant. He also told me she cursed him for making her love him, now I only deal with her to extract revenge on her husband. I hate when people unite us in cause, it's played out and often retoracaul.

The Eyes Have It

The Eyes Have It

Eyes sharpened at the whetstone
Honed to a glistening edge,
They used them to slice and dice for

Homeworks forgotten;
Rooms left in cyclonic disarray;
Reports unfiled;
Presents left ungiven;
Promises unkept---

Scythe-like orbs slipped into you
And poured you into the ground an
Unripened watermelon pulp
oozing red and pits.

They said that eyes had not
A rapier wit, nor rending ability
Though you learned they did,
As life essence formed a puddle
Like water broken before birth.

Premium MemberAwake

A moment is a minute with a heart, after which 
We come without arched brow, lips pursed 
To breech a breath amidst all stolen air. 
Removing only proof of thought 
For sustenance of life. 
No key, the unlocked door, 
Through which a passageway of lending gifts, 
Leads to open airs of longing space. 
We may catch the passing breath 
Of all those lives blown near,
Leave simple fruit unripened 
Far beyond our scope, be as mortals 
Left to nighttime’s touch upon all seeking souls. 
Scratched by hunger for the need of understanding.
Then our moment closes. The only God we ever knew 
Just blinked one more time.

Premium MemberConkers

Horse chestnuts and long sticks scattered around
where children ,balancing along a wall
had tried their best to bring the conkers down,
since it was not yet time for them to fall.
Some shells were slightly open, and inside
lay nuts that caught the sun, a gleaming white,
impatient kids using their thumbnails prised
the shell apart to find a fruit unripe.
These youngsters grow old way before their time,
exposed to influence beyond their years,
not maturing slowly to reach their prime
their childish minds burdened with adult fears.
Depression, self-harm and anxiety,
from images of perfection instilled
by social media and on the TV
fast forward through their childhoods, unfulfilled.
How many with sad futures? Who can tell,
unripened lives lived in their broken shells.

Girls Taste Like

unripened strawberries.
expensive French soda 
and mystery suckers.
she'll taste of linen
or wine wood tips.
weaponized cherry blossoms,
salt of earth.
tears of sugar 
from hungry, coffee eyes. 
it is the sweetest taste
it is the sweetest taste

Premium MemberTiming Is Everything

The moon was full
   Your lips were too
I nearly swooned
   Anticipating you

Your perfume's scent
   My senses bent
You moved, you swayed
   My desire engaged

I reached for your heart
   Then it all fell apart
I'd moved too fast
   For unripened love to last
 
Timing is everything, the philosophers say
   I'd picked the wrong time, a high price I'd paid

Premium MemberEre Aye - Life Is a Game

She came she strived 
She forged through 
Making success a mockery 
Your dance a mystery 
Your laugh an history
It was a disturbing wonder 
To leave and not be forgotten 
Lying still but not silent 
Breaking fetters 
Crossing borders 
Draining the years 
Running like sand 
Between her feet 
She moulded an extra day 
Moulding her words to life 
Made rainbow across a darkened sky
Showered dew on the deadened lives 
Arousing the buried night
Bringing all a troubled sleep
Bridging two worlds 
Fulfilling the dream 
Raking all the unripened fruits 
Into a ripening basket 
Inviting her world 
To a ripened Feast

It's Not Easy Being Green

#IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN

"LIME"...IT'S SPOUTING* SPROUTING* AND SHOUTING*
UNRIPENED* UNCERTAIN*
SELF-DOUBTING*
NEEDS RIPENING!

"LIME" YOU MUST GIVE IT TIME; YOUR DEFINE IS PRESET ON 
*DIVINE*
VARIOUS HUES WILL BE PRESENTED TO YOU IN YOUR DESIGN!
THEREFORE, LOVE YOURSELF! THIS JOURNEY IS YOUR WEALTH AND YOU'LL BE FINE...

"SHINE YOUR SUN!"
"DEEPEN YOUR DEPTH!"
"GIVE US YOUR FEEDING FROM YOUR SEEDING..."

Bitter

I still think about you. The
scent of lavender and failure and
heartbreak travel down my
tongue like the taste of unripened
oranges.

Premium MemberAugust Rains

The steadily falling cold August rains
Continue to pour upon Cheshires lanes;
Over flattening fields of soddened wheat,
Soaking the grass, splashing the feet.

Stands the Combine in the shed;
The unripened apples hanging rosy red.
Stands the caped heron all alone -
His glinting eye as cold as stone.

And in amongst the many puddles
We step around like our troubles:
So lurch ahead with our retreat
Like drunken fools in the street.

And through this months darkly frowns
The cleansing downpours wash the towns;
Scrubs the spire from ingrained time -
Absolves the guilt from the crime!

Euclid's Fifth

Euclid's Fifth

i. In Motion

It was your pale glance, like a 
frame frozen for a second and then 
unfreezes, the cold moist from 
melting, biting my thoughts of 
breaking into your ice-walled 
dullness. Tonight the frigid span 
of time, muteness, between the 
divorce of time and space, thaws 
folds and creases of the ice-cold 
pause of a scene. While like a 
half-frozen mime reflected from a 
broken reel, scratchy, fallacious 
and recurring, creeps upon its 
numbed screen, my rigid, 
frostbitten flesh.

ii. On Parallelism

Suckled in the wounds of regret, 
better that all these fruits fall, the 
green ones no more, bitter 
to taste, unripened and dictated to 
full, proving you are closest to me, 
better that all these fruits fall, than 
to pluck them, flick through under 
tremulous limbs, with glimpse, with 
crave quickening each pauses, I'll 
point at them falling, slow and one 
at a time.
