Too much alone
Too much afraid
Too much unknown
Too much paid

To let us go
By the way
For no show
So they say

Could I tell you a story
Ole storyteller
Like bees buzzing flowers
With some honey on hive's mind

It's a modern tale
That has sat sail
All sewn up
At a rate of knots

That black book
Bought with blood money
Dares to say it holds a name
Spar - with these throat barnacles
(Alternately feeding and fighting With their feet)
bowsprit [bee block]
know your ropes, carried away deep six

It's a thieves cat o nine tales
Captain of chewing the fat
Or combing the cat
I've never seen (one) better

Dunnage topping a tonnage
From that trusty barrage
I'm everything on top and nothing handy
An eye splice on a short rope
Given and giving leeway

Haven't got a clew for true whence such hails from

...
So... She measures faces with her heart and hands
And a camera lens for a few
Had to try to study a foreign language and see if it makes sense to those who know it well.
I'm as useless half asleep
As I am pathetic awake

Maybe I'm just better off *dead
No matter what im useless so...

I don't believe in much due to many of my misfortunes
Monogamy, faith, soul mates, forever
Yet I always pray for him, for true happiness & love
But there's a part of me deep within my soul that is completely terrified
That he will find that true happiness and love, w someone other than me
And I will have to watch him fall madly in love w someone else
more pathetic ranting

Soppy is the way,
Ladle on the sentiment,
If that swill doesn't work,
Just cheat with phoney names,
You too can be so popular on HP
Yet the mirror still looks on with disdain.


Note: rather than craft, study, honing, using elements of actual poetry ( metre, alliteration, image nor even metaphor ) the 'Tireless Self Promoters Club' simply want to start at the top? Phoney? Lazy? No cliché beneath them? Pathetic?
All signs point to YES!
for all the vacuous, small Peacocks, the dear diarists and their lame 'thoughts'
All dull, in a row, cheats who trend, phoney to the end

Must be exhausting
Tireless self promoters
Spewing their drivel
A part of me has hated you from the moment we met
Because all the other parts of me were instantly, pathetically
in love with you.
