After all
Larry Dec 2020
The inevitable
return
underground again
to ramble
to preamble
to lie alone.
A rock struck stone.
A lair of sorts
" a place "
where these words
get covered over
by cyber-dust
to be shelved-away
in makeshift chapters
that will pair well
w/ what happens
on a day-to-day.
Sometimes sporadic
sometimes enormous
sometimes nothing
&
just sometimes.

Litany in Adherency
Larry Nov 2020
It would be nice to know
that there's still time affordable
to etch-out some type of belonging.

I'm not quite my occupation,
neither am I my time-off, but
I hack it, on account,
for both occasions.
      
A "plan" would be nice,
but, an "A-plan" is ideal.
           .·°                      
Find the "A+ Plan," though, and
  we're rolling like orbed-steel.

something new (or hiding)
Larry Dec 2020
Mitigating weakness:
a story to shoppe.

Caught short-sighted
w/ ideas to swap.

Lineage avoidance-
tried, fervorously, to stop.

"What's gotten you?"
(amidst this thickening-plot)

"Happy trails,"
w/ the, "New-Ways," co-op.

Utter disenchantment
from this trough-filled w/ slop.

Incredulously...

words do break bones, and

- Economical Wizardry -
Larry Dec 2020
This class was taught,
and thus begun,
before thought enumerated
an age for 1(one).

Stationary bobbling
w/ no teeth to gnash,
although, curiously affluent-
as green as grass.

Steps, each step,
became like broken glass-
whether left behind
at first stood last.

Each step/ these steps
a collective school-
each within their own
swimming laps...a pool.

Then unto today, whence...
how do we fare?
All unapologetically
w/ a thought to bear.

¤                    ¤                    ¤
I'm tired of wasting time;
day after day -
continuously plugging away.

These issues of mine,
in short-order, are fine,
but, held-up for a future's bounty.

And for this "concern" that I lack,
since all's under attack,
you'd do well thinking on it until morning.

Plan a trip/set some goals-
anything to relieve doubt
& offers a, "sense of control".

We are all Lords of our own lives:
some Lords will choose to inspire you,
while others don't know how to play nice.

Kindness- it seems,
plays a definitive factor
in the general, overarching, scope of "things".

Paired-up along w/ respect,
and now you'd hold a couple of keys
that'll surely help you when dealing w/
"other's disease".

But, regarding all the things
that I'll never get to see,
will be written from the place
of our collective memory.

No lie.

That's twice now
when "Evil" has
shown-up w/ presence

of malfeasance.

And both times
I handled it sloppily, but
as well as I could
while under unprecedented

Some Things Spoken
Larry Oct 2020
Writing what I spoke;
learning from that I wrote:

end·less·ly aim·less
in·fin·i·ty bra·zen·ness
-
from towers that rock well
when in doubt of whether
another will or won't tell/
the 'here' is now.
(cryptic/Apocalyptic rung bell)
-
all that is needed
has ran-off unseated
& towards those I've greeted
I'd declare us undefeated.

{Deserves a title}
Larry Apr 2020
Someday soon. Someday.
Whether it tomorrow
or an arrived day found forgotten.
It is no matter, really
since all's a matter of time.
Eventuality.
It'll become as the change became sprung.
Mentality. Focused - poised - neat
Formality. Deranged - losing - sleep
Obnoxious they'll be- prior incorrigibly
Looking lustfully at all w/out contempt.
Seeing life as new from out of hiding & wet.
Charmed by rolled nickels and dimes
How they're spent -or
Lost in the mouth of the girl's words
Alluring her scent.
Attracted to scenes that went amiss/past the fray.
Attractive to those who don't know as they say.

Confusion is our Ally.
Larry Feb 2020
Useful is, the 'star-splitter' approach.
Useful for what? Many things.
Many- many things.
For its use is so grand in-scale
so large in-capacity
so rotund in-enormity...
it'll be easier to ask
"What can't its use for?"

But I'd never tell anybody that.
You're asking me like I've got an answer.
Let's not make a liar out of whomever--
whoever is put on the spot w/
question asked a lot like that?
Difficult to deflect...

Did you know that- by design -purpose
remains unresolving?
I don't know; I've heard it somewhere.
But its implying Life's purpose.
And it's not referring to God.

"Built to suit"
Larry Oct 2020
Thoughts derive meaning
within implementation.
Some words, and their combinations,
make for a decree
that sets fire in place
of pages.
Wording(s) charm those
who've had enough
of stale breakfast
mornings, and morning again.
To claim ignorance
defies all wisdom
transfixed to those
stubbornly reliant on it.
Expressions of mind
can bend reality,
& time-shares,
equivalent to the sum
of their cherished avocations.
And all this,
to strive for another day
towards a life
built to suit.

Status Quo
Larry Feb 2020
Song Lyrics by Eric Zimnicki
~·~
I want to start a band
where we understand
to exclude all the crap
that is played everyday
on the radio-waves:
the **** that just has no taste.
I think
we need more solo-bass
&
Musicians who play for themselves.
(try to conjure-up something so heartfelt)
You say, "**** record-labels," today?

I like Funk & Punk-Rock
...find it outdated?
You can **** my ****!
(& tickle my nuts)
Keep your judgemental-mouth shut!
This song's from deep in my guts...
Radio-  I've had enough
of your control over minds
& ears:
good-music is doomed now
for our future-years...
the 'status-quo'
has gone too low for me.

Play-  w/ Yourself
Rage-  w/ Yourself
Play for Yourself.
(and make it heartfelt)
You control all the young-minds
& ears:
good-music is doomed now
for our future-years...
the 'status-quo'
has gone too low for me.

Labels: I know you will win
but it's a sin...
And, I think that you're pedophiles
in my eyes
from ****** all the young-minds
and showing them the wrong-signs
(and all your lawyer's lies)
and lies: our tunes used to be legit.
You stuck your hooks
in our music
& you made it ****!
'Status-quo' has gone too low for me.

Play-  w/ Yourself
Rage-  w/ Yourself
Play for Yourself.
(and make it heartfelt)
You control all the young-minds
& ears:
good-music is doomed now
for our future-years...
the 'status-quo' has gone
too low for me.
The 'Status Quo'
has gone too low for me.
Yeah.

Listen-up, Kids:
·
Play w/ Yourself.
Rage w/ Yourself.
Play for Yourself
& make it heartfelt.
You control
all the young-minds & ears.
Good-music is doomed now
for our future-years.
The 'status-quo'
has gone too low for me.
the Status Quo
has gone too low
for me.

~Regarding Inspiration~
Larry Sep 2020
Found 'it' lacking by...

tourney of ellipses
journey-out abysses
squabbling over fitness
pending certain suspicions
errands thought religious
brands' overtly pillage
nightingale's bedtime mistress
all-consuming coexistence
life's antagonizing persistence
turbulent interrupting instance
contention eddying malicious
consuming measures delicious
subsistence adorning dishes
labor's fruitful wishes.
Some, from today, that made the list.

[Needs work]
Larry Sep 2020
Things we know-  our Collective deeds.
Eyes recording daily-feeds
that are amplified in broadcast rich/
Telemarketing schemes...
dots connecting dreams.

All that is perceived
must also account for that which
becomes from what is unable
to be easily seen:
describing what's around us
(purely speculatory: benzene)

Advancing this rigorous-reign:
like thee All-Star, "Dream-Team".
Lucky as the stars above teem
when difficulties careen & then stream
emptying-out--  over what's disagreed about/ or that's disavowed.
Stormy-night seen.

City livin'-
is undesirable at its best.
Grown-up in this town, but
it means less to me than
nothingness.

The house I'm paying for
will likely never become a home, and
the strides I've gained
just kept me feeling alone.

I don't find the need
that stirs my heart to tears
any more befitting
than downing these round of beers.

Easy as it comes-
& easier it shall go:
these times are here to remind us
what was cast is certainly sown.

An Example:
Larry Feb 2020
Excitement weens
Lost on same means.
Capital letters advance
Derivative fiends.

Thought to know
Knew an understanding
Understood falsehood
Uncovered branding.

Sowed my prairie
Seriously when initiated
Before then merrily
Long lines tarried.

Uncovering happening
Uncovers everything.
Depths found futile
Resounds blaspheming.

Looked onto lies
Sought unto skies.
Regarded partially lost
Time's, " Robert Frost ".

Still now retain
My lost for gain
Each day innuendo
Earmarked by same.

Heroes to our legend
Formed fancily stowed
Mind's willful haven
Sourcing its unfold.

Something to say
Larry Feb 2020
I really don't; until inspired, but even then
it'll be pigeonholed turn'd swarmy
made indigestible until upchucked
onto my dinner's plate while oblivious
to reconsume by dim moon's light
so unwittingly discontent w/ fullness
that serves a few things so-so, but
only one dreamt well
laying on my back snoring
as I'm waking-up continually short-changed
long been forgotten but the need to
keep moving resides ever dormant
propelling me onward into
each passing-day
behind the footsteps of this guy
in front of me that I seem
to always be chasing
for the instant-moment when I'm found-out
quickly turned-upon onto his face made-out
a familiar one that I just can't place...

So now I'm imploded beyond carefree
aimlessly coexisting until somebody else
cares enough for me to set us free
to where I've never roamed, but would
gladly go by myself or w/ company in tow
8th Density unplumbed virtual odyssey
unappeasing all: one remarkable-*******
yet still granted the reigns
of commercial-grade
wizardry trying hands landing feet
providing these serfs w/ a drop to drink
from color palette smeared on toilet seats
that never became because this realm
my building hasn't unlocked plumbing
in their infancy of liquid-age so fluent
it's charming if one were to ask me?

Granted prayer w/ fervent evaporation
that'll atone well for all this rampant
******* that was promised
delivered but being the Chief allows not
for mistakes so wasn't inflicted mind-agony
so they'll forever be in-remittance to me
now inadvertently I've
created monsters for misery
thinking back on how
I started this all-out terribly
so here came the stone's-Age
when a galactic-crater fell suddenly
issuing a puddle's mirth of nepsis-souls
swimmingly serene (that's the cut-scene)
and my rebirth from out this dream
suddenly realized by two bruiser-hands
latching my neck yanked-out into
roomed-eyes of strangers now gasped my first breath
and ****'n cried aloud since my spot
kicked from you off the cloud
now I'm growing.
A rapid-fired upheaval of a grotesque plot-line
catching-up from what writing down
failed to mention.
(something like that, but just as honestly another)

Never one to shy-away from giving due

and more than likely to draw-near
befriending that which is inside of you.

riddled-out in sequence for actions

although their nature elusive, thus: unreliable.

truly is no end to what that involves.
I can sit to think
or stand & pray, but
deliverance in virtue
has certainly had its way.
No need to ask for answers
from questions stirred too late;
or wake-up jotting dreams
worn-off your sleeping mate.

Its edition defies all it cares to:
some would say one thing
another wouldn't dare to.
Thought-exchange opened free-range --
lapping tirelessly at creation.
Creation everywhere
built upon something
while everything
everywhere
created out of nothing.
Souls to bare & written here

Rise of The Disparaged
Larry Feb 2020
Write this ****** as I've any care too.
Words rarely imply presented struggle
w/ capable conditions I've compared you.

Words struggle along routine routes
imitable in their ruthless mouths
seeping feeble attempts from keeping 'in' - out.

Brandishing burritos w/ nutritional intent
my concerns happily underserved
yet proficiently inept.

Talk of me -honestly- espouse worries wept:
means very little to those of us found down
(entrenched)- in here near sheer last-step.

Spurn-on to other realities unspoken for
just as prevalent; their prevalence
shatters all: unequivocally...then more.

Undying infatuations contentiously fraught
w/ awe to beget
rescind garbled-frequencies lest thee scorned to forget
such ideological complications pale against an implemented lament.

Mustering strength readying capability calmly set:
among the least you'd reasonably think do
but will ultimately come to expect.
- written w/out contempt, but rather in-love for those Heaven sent.

Easy for me to say. *
Larry Mar 2020
I've ran long
ran short too.
Obstacles many
Appearances few.

I've found ways over, under & around;
found ways straight-thru.
I've been unwilling and ignorant;
been thoughtfully anew.
I've taken up arms retaliating;
taken a level-path which evenly grew.
I've seen hindrances often ugly;
seen shackles fall right in-two.

And so I've:
Lost touch in reality/accurately ran afoul-
written: "cuckoo".
Been brought back w/ composure reigning
gaining substantially in all I knew.
Numerosity in thoughts thunk in mediocrity:
an ignoramus thru&through;
relived this issue on account indifferently
so many times, uniquely, it's now in view.

I've had days of intrinsic-horror;
had days so beautiful wouldn't relate too.
Obstacles aplenty
Memories blessedly-due.

But I'll:
Stay on this route forever;
onto another more enticing comes in lieu.
Admit my rock-bottom the autumn dregs;
my Family- I'm fortunate to be born into.
Add that my grasp was idle until my crawling;
that was fruitful for me useful a cue:
my grasp became prior reason ordained
fit for me its only use.
* Not a toast for me to boast.

2 Paragraphs Pained
Larry Feb 2020
What can I share today with everyone here
on Hellopoetry.com?
Hmm...definitely difficult getting any
thoughts in order for presentation.
What I do know is that whatever this may
end up becoming, will still be warm
to another's touch
as it would be if I just penned this to paper
and then handed it to you.
In other words:
it'll be a writing session's produce.
I sense the pain in my *** already
from doing this another way
and will kindly not
do that.

That's just my first thought.
Decided I'd share, because I hadn't known
how the finer details worked on this site
until I finally applied & received membership
and began splicing words.
Pretty confident now as to how
to go about functioning effectively.
And grateful I am; in before I sow any doubt.
