Quiet relationship, then gating,
College failed in relation.
Poems tight, metaphorical like,
Similarly quiet, gait penned.

Scholarship not pellet feed,
Lettuce where the fences meet,
Where the parents meet,
And fight over simple weeds,
Lifestyle and personality like.

As I looked into my mirror  one day, I could see, that a sad little girl was looking at me. I said to this child where is your smile? Through tears she replied, "Can we talk for a while? Your mommy is dead. They took your daddy away. I don't know how you face your mirror everyday?" Besides the lump in my throat, I also felt, a tear trickled down as my heart begin to melt. Sweet Child you see, it is hard to explain, how people can hurt you and cause you such pain. but if you believe that God sent us Jesus his son, you can face everyday and you won't have to run. So smile little girl there is a whole new world of love and happiness and a brand new start, the moment you ask Jesus to come into your heart. Looking deeper yet, into my mirror I could see, that this sad little girl looked exactly like me.

Letters written of nonsense,
Inner conflicts, profits,
Constantine of outfits,
Proud of their holes.
Opposite, of continents,
Sinkholes, swallowing,
Mere weathering problems,
All they do is disclose.

Imagine a world insolvent,
Overpopulated and cold,
Where fistfuls of dollars,
Are better off.
Plastic like the ocean,
Poetic hopeful, Scotland.
Politically motivated,
Heart emplaced.
However honest, lies of fate,
One defends an idea flagrant,
Upon a hill of nothing sacred,
Fairness being the continent.

Unless one wishes a life content,
In a country of many ferrets.

Goodbye old friend, you've served me well;
you did your job throughout this hell.
Exhausted - now you're lying here;
within your eyes I see the fear.

My pal is calling...let him go,
he'll never learn, he'll never know
how dire it is to lose a friend,
but I'll stay with you to the end.

And if the Hun should come before
you've breathed your last in this damn war,
then, so be it, I'll die with you,
for loyal friends must see it through

until the end, when we'll be seen
as one - once more on England's green
and pleasant land for which we fought,
to plough God's fields as we were taught.

I hear the bullets whizzing by,
the screaming men, the battle cry.
You lift your head to shield my heart,
and bullets tear your neck apart.

I hold you tight with bloodied hand,
I try to rise, I try to stand.
I feel the shrapnel from the shell--
Goodbye old friend, you served me well.

A doctor says to me:
There is no healing,
Tells me just to be,
No wishful thinking.

His heart a bean,
Feelings consumed.
Living amused,
Is no good for me,
Misunderstood by you.

Forever twilight,
A gradient life,
Polite goodbyes.

He lives like limes,
His hands a vine,
No tree remarked,
With loved ones dying.

Art
Sometimes I understand it
Blowing hard
Leaves are scattered
While gathering up
Inspiration 
From the rays of the sun
Turn around
See what you created
Back where it begun
Darn
There goes another one

There's just 22.5 degrees
Not from the bottom to the top, but
In between
Doing nothing and incomplete
Being at the bottom
Pushing Gord in the swing.

Feelings in her heart,
Apathy of mind lost,
The world desired,
Earth forgotten,
Therefore pursuant of swine,
Love begotten.

Reading of foreigners,
Yet her poetry declines,
Like Vines, Fine Wines,
Rhyme lines her mind;
Obsessive of forewords
 and forever afters;
Useless goodbyes,
Given in poor wording.

Forgotten is passion,
For words and order,
A husband mastered,
A wife only borrowed.

Today I heard a triad
In a weird way it made me feel sad
Can't wait to get home
Get my guitar
Get the chance
To Try that

Yesterday I heard a melody
In an old way it still feels new to me
Can't wait to get out
Get dancing
Get clarity
Inpsiring

Last week I saw an act of kindness
In a good way it made me feel that
My kind is not alone
Not so far
Not fraud in fact
To try that

Tomorrow I'll write a poem
About all the ways I've felt this week
My blindness in a tome
Day blindness
Moon blindness
Blindness off the dome

Right now there's nothing to look at
Immersed in machinery
Not a technocrat
Not a plutocrat
Stopped avoiding art
To try that triad
But make it flat

Piles until the top,
Flies at the skirt,
Pillars of salt,
 of the Earth,
Turtles until bottom,
Fire wherever we are,
Hide whenever lightning strikes,
Deserts eventully finds someone,
Living flame among life is hard.
There is no benchmark for him,
Spent onward is his life quiet,
A ball aptly palmed by oneself, 
Never failures, tailored farewells,
Jokes of the eyelids,
Mind less apt for aperture,
So he mocks and chides,
Fixated on the comical.

The coming winter should mark the death of my love, 

yet there is nothing to kill.

For her unspoken words burn deeper than sunlight,
light The Eclipse could not seal.

The torrent is relentless
Shakened, awake is the sea

A sacrifice asked of fate
For every victory

Yet I've lost

And so, you, I've won

only for the smallest of eternities

Like a dull axe she finds problems,
Forever chopping away at them, honest,
Heart longing for promise disregarded;
Dressed for the ward, fully pardoned;
Walking son further follows suit,
Continuing without education,
Tongue misconstruing in search;
Fuhrer didactic, in foolish,
Shooting skies of oration,
Bullets true to the earth;
Flippant remarks of life,
Piousness to the dirt,
Burying words in nonsense,
Burning iron and desertion;
Shakespeare by any other name,
Apt it was before tall tales,
Lies furious among the vegetation,
Born, lived and smothered there;
Meat filler, then life billiard,
Son born a killer,
Writing of nonsense,
Mentally ill, political figure,
Opinion maudlin.

I sat under the tree glancing nearby,
hoping to find someone who could see me cry.
Dreaming about a happier place,
I stood up and walked speeding up my pace.
I saw a girl sitting on the green bench looking as if trying to hide,
Just like me maybe no one was there by her side;
and with loneliness surrounding and head down 
she suddenly looked up gazing around.
Seeing her face, I turned back in trauma
and saw something which I could never forget
"Why do you look back? This agony and pain ruined my life
Its about that rain of acid which turned my cheerful life into a life so vapid".
With tears all gone, I held her head high
"there is no need for you to cry."
You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen
and I am not lying because I totally mean.
All punishments for the guilty are too small,
it is now time for him to fall.
I then realized that in this world of misery and sadness, there is a lot to see
Even the acid victims have the right to live just as a common girl like me.

Only tragedy of the pen,
Everything self penned,
Self authored.
Cherishing the gift of god,
but with silent laughter.

Floating dynasty upon the water,
Field my dreams, take my island,
Let me spend my days a wander,
Looking for your prodigal child,
With no time for spectacular novels,
Cobblestone violence or love chided.
Machiavellian influenced religion,
Post irony, Post music,
Long, long, into the future.
Where no human exists,
Only Nature.

Partridges fly,
Above the land they admire,
Moon rocks to the scientist,
Fertility given to a goddess,
Pointless admiration.
So begins desire,
The bird flies higher,
Further from the ground,
Wherefore no dreams to mire.
Society jobs to a miser.
My job is too dry,
Hands cracking, without water.
Voice loud enough to deny it.

Bird sings low
Everywhere it goes
Solo
Volume decreased
Old Crow can't hear
Intricacies
Flyin' from old notes
Higher than most tho
Song ain't loud
Used to be
Bird's quiet
Crazy
Speaks
Feathers in beak
Live
Vibes to the beat
Heat
Released
Birds flapping their wings
Squawking their beaks
Bending their knees
Leaving their feet
Lotus grows pink
Cutting through deep
Low melodies
Low sounds of the songbird
Played on repeat

Whatever I did
I did it myelf
Fucked God and the Devil
Miserable
Accosting young rebels

When I was a kid
I sat on a shelf
Hiding in darkness
'til I piss'd myself
Not fearful of Argus

A game where amid
We sought and dispelled
My mother found these
Piss covered shelves
No brother beside me

She helped when I hid
She'd hear if I yelled
Instead she heard beveled
Breakfast cereal
Make music of rainfall

Taking blame for the good
Forsaking myself
Fuck with God and the Devil
I play songs as well
Drawing crosses in trebles

All over the grid
I marvel at how
When I look at these crosses
They offer some help

Once great poems in the form of epic,
Tragically short was my bite of danish,
Therefore I re-post a poem from 2012.
Current relevance being to a shelf.
