"combative" poems
Within the shadow of a false icon, Which hangs over me like fallen titans, The ones who in the darkness of ignorance wore capes and flew, But now wear maniacal grins and snarl to. The same person who used to make you want to say live, Now only force you to to spell it backwards and with yourself become more combative. He says he misses me, But that would make three, Me, mom and The Monster, He says "straighten your postue" I miss the days I could look past your hypocrisies, Back when I could look at your  and think "these are the right policies " In my time of need, You can't seem to see, Your voice make me bleed, You're whose killing me To be stuck in a house, but not a home, Trapped inside not a shrine, but a tomb, Imprisoned by the voice that used to be that of ideology and hope, Which is now the voice of the hate that hangs me like a rope, The voice that tears my mind in two, One side screaming "you are wrong," and I should be rejecting you, The other side creeping and deafaningly whispers I am the infection, adieu.

A Fallen Titan
Liking you was just too easy Leaving you would be too hard Please promise me that you'll stay here and love me while we fall apart Is it good, Is it bad? Are we happy, Are we sad? Doesn't matter to me You are all that I need Because when you smile I smile whether Id like to or not And that hard head of yours you're too combative and I'm too smart We talk, we argue we **** we fight but by the end of the night when I can't stand you I need your hands to wrap me up, hold me tight Get away from me You don't deserve me, but while you're leaving... please don't desert me I really need you to stick around so I can drag you and wear you down

Anger Fury Rage Like three tigers in a cage Fierce like fire Having a desire for revenge Not making amends Temper Wrath Hateful disgrace The world's often a hostile place Anger out of control, corrupting the peace, Becoming a riot, calling for the police Anger is combative to a truce When raw emotions are on the loose Anger comes in many colors: Tumultuous reds boiling in your head Purple passions in warlike fashion Seething greens, for envy is a fiend Anger that is a shocking yellow is anything but mellow They blend together in a melting *** A big, boiling cauldron, scaulding hot In its feverish calamity, anger reeks Of dead men's bones, you shall see Like tasting gasoline, it is a toxic tonic You don't want to be anywhere around it! Its angry concoction you partake in to sip Though it's like deadly poison on your lips! In your body, it courses through Before it makes a fool out of you! Like two lighted matches on your tongue Anger does the tango just for fun! This mouthful of hot pins and needles stings! You swallow it down, the whole **** thing! You wash it all down with wine as it smolders Down your throat anger goes, like jagged boulders! Through your esophagus, resisting a slippery slide Anger within you does not want to hide! Into your gut, like a rugged coastline of pain You now see the world with great disdain! Your stomach evolves into a volcanic hole Hot as a furnace with blazing coals! Anger soon rises from the volcanic mountain Lava bursting forth like a fiery fountain! That is anger's transition that I see My vision portrayed in this poetic story Anger does have a rightful place But out of control, it turns into hate On one hand, it can help us fight evil On the other, it can hurt other people

Ink in the bowl goes on to skin Culture from Africa to Americas Indians Ink that is absorbed into the mind Held in place forever in time Ink that controls the blood in veins Moving through the pulses and chains Not strong enough to hold the soul Ink that lives infinite in the world Smooth grooves in nights and bars Jazzy blues, singing croons through guitar Villages and huts where elders bang drums Leaders dance songs for rain and sun Music through words transferred through ink Thoughts held in mind brought into links That form into the soul of the world Blood that stains as ink swirls Tantrums and storms that guide the spirit A spirit so combative you can't come near it It won't come if you hear it or read it Learn to live the life, words true when you feel it Artist from autism, loose thoughts bridge cataclysms No cure for the self, wealth grows, pace kept slow Races to save victims and glorify human conditions Giving thoughts and heart to help, it is felt, is it felt? Writing soul, from heaven to hell Spiritual fire, culture is furthered For my blood flows parallel to ink Ink that flows and grows from me Me goes to you, then travels beyond We show growth, all faces of God One voice seeks to speak Through songs, poetry, love in the ink ****** lovely ink Muddy purity links The ink the ink The ink the ink .

Ink Blood
Herein, laying dormant,     veils of reposed       secrecy 'neath        foamy seascapes'               frenetic passages, languishing below    sunken treasures'      false facades of         reticently rolling             shrouded bluffs,  shaded of darkly impetuous         hued blood in           unceremoniously              bound convolutions, a million ancient      undisclosed shadows hidden,      notwithstanding combative         rumblings of death's          unwelcome sycophancy, depths of centuries'          old unparalleled stories,  whence hush-hush        undulatory influx           of defiant upsurges             and turbulence reside,      that of which only the           winds of indiscretion,                  clandestine spirits                       & gods could surmise ...as  privileged moons watch over amaranthine skeletons

Shrouded Bluffs
Blue for the chill, It's blue, That hill, Off in the distance, Past that window, That hasn't been washed, I'll do that, I will. But the hill, It's blue, Blue is for the chill, In case you forgot, I do that sometimes, I can't remember my lines, But it's ok, Cause they did too, So it's not just you, But look, Out the ***** window, That I forgot to clean, A minute ago, Oh, Right. ... Now look, Look! Past the window you don't know is there, Cause its so clean, Out to the hill, It's blue, Just like you, Blue is for the chill, Blue is for you too. I know why blue is yours, Cause I know almost everything, I knew what your favorite colour is, I know your favorite song to sing, I shouldn't give it away too soon, But the colour is blue, And the song Blue Moon, I knew I shouldn't have said anything, I gave it away too soon... But that's why you need to look, You need to see, Just like me, I see you have eyes, I know that cause I can see, Big surprise, It's deductive reasoning, I like your wide eyes, Makes you look scared, Maybe you won't be so combative, Maybe you'll do better than the others faired... No no, Don't cry, Please don't cry, I, I don't know what to do about tears, I find them to be one of my bigger fears, I fear them like you fear death, I'm not sure how to make them stop, Without stealing your breath... That's better I'm glad you stopped, It's better than you smile, Cause it's been quite awhile, Since I've seen someone not so scared, Perhaps you will do better, Than the others faired... Oh no, I've gone and frightened you again, I'm sorry, I don't mean to, I'm unsure what to do, How about I show you something? Here look, See, It's a ring, Diamond and gold, Will keep shining forever, Till we're grey and old, Isn't that something else? It'll last longer than both you and I, But that's no surprise, Rocks have long lives, We humans almost never survive... But never mind that, You got me all sidetracked, Trickster you! But look, Beyond the window, All the blue, That is the hill, Cause blue is for the chill, And I know how you like the colour, I like always how the world is still, Never moving, Not an inch, Not a mile, Not bit, Not in quite awhile, I've often wondered why not, But then I forgot, What I wondered about, And then I scream, And I shout, And when I stop I find everyone's sleeping, Not making a sound, Not even breathing, So I dig a big, Big hole in the ground, And in they go, Without a sound. But don't worry, I won't forget a thing! I won't ever forget the name of that song, That song you love to sing! It's called... It's called... It's called..... ... .... ...Hm, Wake up sleepy head, Wake up lazy bones! Oh, You're dead... You never even got to see the hill, That's passed the window, It's blue, Blue is for the chill, All for you, That hill, Cause it's blue, And I know you really like the colour, Or liked I guess, What a mess... I'm sorry for this, I really thought I'd miss, Never hit anything with it before, But I guess I did today, I had hoped you could stay, For a little while longer, I knew that I could be just that little bit stronger, But not today...

Sunrise nearing its death, the end of today complementing the beauty of a pen stroke, harsh scratching alleviating indelible ideas showing selves in hues painting our last moments allowing me to trace timelines in the contoured caresses of this silent instrument played to blend melody with beginnings, each progression scaling further along the passing hours left settling to minutes from now, purpose elaborated in contrasting blues and oranges and purples composing the elegance of utility, colors not enough to excise the excesses of depicting days in dimensions, of simplifying it to degrees of time. Laying alongside this current to shape clouds and animate constellations, my faux-corpse stares again into the memory held in galaxies only glimpsed at twilight. Sharp cuts of consonants and vowels' smoothed corners try to rid me of stream of conscious thinking loosed, the inner struggle hoping for reprieve from that constant combative nature of inward disagreement and dialectic digression deflecting the question of what if we'd only spoke instead of being lost to foreign type-faces designed by some soul never to see the dying day my way. If only we'd spoke, I would have had the chance to stumble on a goodbye. Rather we are left to flourishes of unfamiliar weapons sitting askew on these pages, the balance shifted due to us degrading to another's personality, and writing out those lines we couldn't come to say.

Flourishes of a Dying Day
There was tension between the families from the start My best friend's wedding was certainly one for the record books I tried to bring sensible mediation to the dance floor As his Grandpa Helmar raised his walking cane and struck the Brides Father in the neck Each of the families allegiance spurned combative retribution and all Hell broke loose I took one for the team with a sac of Jordan Almonds to the right eye Then slipped on the wedding gift of excrement left by the ring bearer, the family poodle I came to consciousness wet with champagne thrown in my face, I thanked my wife for caring. Aunt Sarrah, in her drunken zeal, thought it wise to toss all her cookies in the Reverend's face The Bride's mother slapped an unsuspecting cousin with her overly expensive oversized hat And the Groom's sister's dress was ripped to shreds by the Bride's teenage niece Yes. the same dress that my wife said was hideous and did nothing for her. The two parties had not much to say to each other in the waiting room of the ER bandages and gauze were passed around like Hors d'oeuvres, but not the Bayer Aspirin We all watched in shameful disgust, the videographer's collection of memories The next day as the Bride and Groom opened their gifts And I, sporting a keen black patch, a pirate only his wife could love... Reminded my dear friend of the possible outcome of having two reception menus One honoring him and his family and one honoring his Bride and her family Highlighted by Königsberger Klopse, and respectively, Gefilte Fish with carrots Their love endures! -----ChawzzyScript

Guarded is a key word for you. You keep your privacy highly protected. Your reluctance to openly Exhibit your feelings must be respected. Though you are interested in others, They know you ONLY to a degree. Even when seemingly open, you show Only what you want them to see. Your strong will and your ability To want to get to the bottom of things Make your sense of resourcefulness Guide you to seek out and pull the right strings. You can be very stubborn at times; Your reticence becomes persistence. You're not usually combative, but when You're pushed you knock down all resistance. If people try to fool you, forget it. You DON'T like being manipulated. The outspokenness of Scorpios Often remains understated. You could be called a truth-seeker; Your insight is powerful, your judgment keen. Challenges are not to be feared And must be brought into your routine. You must learn how to master The two forces of need and desire So you can develop your potential To manage the power that you require. Until it's unleashed, true Scorpio Energy stays deeply hidden. Everyone knows that criticizing A Scorpio is strictly forbidden. You might tend to dominate Relationships, so do be wary. That your intensity can overwhelm Others for you is customary. You're not arrogant or self-involved; Inner struggles you rarely display. Allowing others to see your weakness To you would be a cause of dismay. You appear to be easy-going And have to learn that it is fine To manifest the intensity Associated with the sign. Your power and magnetism Can be for some an inspiration, As well as your stamina And your fierce determination. Your mental and physical powers Of recuperation, along with--of course-- Your creativity, Make you a guiding force. - by Bob B

The cosmic river of placidity our spiritual Graveyard, laden illuminating the resevoirs Of the sun serpents mineral kingdoms created As the desecrated flowers of the Universe decay, The barren Earths machinery immortally Combative rebirthing deaths plague. Akashas victorious joy reflecting the Sillohettes of times ardititious travellings Fleeting, the strength of withered spirits Collective daydreams upon solacses fallen Fields of despair, redeeming justices Patience provocating abeyance. The irredescent golden amber of an iron Roses kindling flame; katabolisms landscape Transcending sunsets incarnate pharisaical Clouds defying agonising temptations rising On the wind of sanctimonious whispers Working the stagnate temper of Choas' repining heart. ELEETE J MUIR.

Ophiuchus
Now the first leaves, golden, Falling, fluttering tranquilly. Breeze becomes wind, A slight chill present. Summer ending, Fall in the air, You can smell it, see it, Touch it, even taste it. Saturday, Freeway fills with cars, Flags flying, team colors displaying, Car Horns honking, people waving. Mighty Ducks are beating their wings, Getting ready, who could have known? That Ducks having no teeth, Could be so very ferocious, Tenacious, combative, thrilling. Tailgating celebrating, Throngs of laughing people, moving Pennants showing, blowing in the wind, Through the gates into the huge arena. Filling the stands, waiting spectacle’s beginning. Band blares spirited tunes, people and Students cheering, Ear splitting, the grandstands Vibrating, spines a tingling, tension mounting. Among great fan fare, the Gladiators emerge, Regaled in colorful Costumes for combat, Helmets gleaming in the sun, Muscles bulging young men strut and pose, In spirited pent up raw anticipation, Soldier-players moving now as one, As a well practiced oiled machine, Each part supporting the other.   Each knowing its own function, Resulting in precise synchronization. A time and place where boys become men. Beautiful young women, under dressed, Bosoms bouncing, pompoms waving Add to the Circus flavor of spectacle rising. Only a game? None in the bowl knows that. No one cares to think so, it is more than that, It is war, it is life, it‘s aggression without death, It is pride without regret; it is a melding of hearts, And expectations, of loyalties to a common goal, It is a Saturday in the sun and fall air, a chance to Yell and cheer for youth in flower, to feel and fear An inevitable outcome not yet predetermined. To ebb and flow all human emotions, To hopefully all, end the day a winner, Or perhaps display compassion for the looser.   To feel alive, to participate in life’s cycle of living. Football, just a game? Don’t you believe it.

That clever fine line, so subtle in form En dormir yet greedily alert to vulnerability Nimble tentacles easing you over Once steadfast, comfort in being Then slippage, slow, painful crumbling, curiosity grappling with descent Transition seamless as a lullaby yet fiercely combative Happiness, contentedness, numbness, collision, abyss That clever fine line, so subtle in form

FINE LINE
Hey cold gray decrepit wall , paint me a pretty picture this morning because I'm too 'unstable' to be let out .. Draw purple sunsets and seagulls flying away because I'm to'combative ' to be walking about ... Good morning minimum wage , mad at the way the creek flows orderly , keeping the peace in the psychiatric world , strong arming sweet people to consume their numbing drugs , walking around like your in the WWE ,  NFL or something ... Drink machine doctors , twenty second physicals for a thousand bucks , not even looking up with an apparent hundred percent hearing loss when your patients happen to speak up ! Good day Nurse Loser with zero patience , handed out drugs like your poisoning the hogs .. Now that I'm gone I wish you all the worst , I hope you find a Gaboon Viper hiding in your purse .. Hello kitchen staff , how could I forget , how much sugar does it take to sweeten dog **** ? Trapped in a room with food a rat would refuse to eat .. Standing indignant by your slop like your a Food Channel cooking queen !!

Life is so hard sometimes. It pulls, taking the table cloth along with it. It strengthens, taking the tide along with it. It chides talking the moon out of its misery wishing it were daybreak but when day arrives, the moon wishes it were night. Round and round we go on this roller coaster called life. Hanging on is so difficult with responsibilities tugging at the mainframe about to crumble apart like break pads crumbling under the weight of it all. A pressurized catapult or catalog explaining the width it takes to squeeze through the trash chute without crushing anything of importance. Holding our breath as the bumps become clear afraid of the coaster slipping off the tracks and plummeting into the frigid unknown. Luck is only heresy in this world of uncertainty. But cars can be fixed, jobs can be taken, and bodies can be satisfied in ways unheard of in reality. Life is so hard sometimes. But looking at it with new eyes, with a combative, stubborn grip on the cold steel handle, a roller coaster can be both exhausting and exhilarating if you know what to look for.

How to Hang onto the Roller Coaster Bar
Popping out from slumberous state, Little buds, you come to life. Fight, fist, fend the odds, You’re different; you survive. Combative, commanding, cruel, Your army, every restraint exceeds, As it marches on, devouring The very platter on which it feeds. Slithering, slipping stealthily, Deadly tentacles spare no bone, sinew. Boundaries are blurred; your territory expands, Your militia continues to exponentially grow. And soon, your red flags of victory- Those flags of death, demise and doom Are planted everywhere; each bit Of terrain you’ve invaded and consumed. There you sit, content, in the middle of all the gloom, Immortal, indestructible, infinite. With power of the magnitude you possess, There’s no force that can give you a fight. And when flies of decay begin to hover over Your kingdom, you smile, flexing your pincers. Thriving on the depressing glow of the setting sun, You- the kark, the crab, the cancer. (to the malady that ate my Grandmother away)

Kark
It's a common bond between the two making a difference, connective tissue assembled into a greatness a line of weakness combative graveyard A manic savior Tips to what keeps us up a cheers to another empty cup invincibility shall drown like a statue underground pushed away for decades Eagerly brimming with pain A terror of hope shrieking of ghosts of demons and mongrels that make-up these problems a mask of fluidity free flow down the hatch A liver is weakened by this ugly thrash

Terror Thrash
This morning I was feeling like a Savior I saved a baby bird from her sure demise; pulled her right out of his mouth, you should've seen the Snake's eyes I said I bet that doesn't feel real well with a grin, and then set him on fire and sent him back to hell, to swim in the lake of sin I cradled her gently and heard whispered peeping I studied her feathers carefully for I knew she was worth keeping By noon I was feeling sort of grumpy until I met an old toad Sitting warm red and lumpy. He asked for a snack and I wanted to see him satisfied, So I scooped up a grasshopper and plucked out its' eyes. And I picked up two more, and a cricket just for fun, today has been a good day out here in the sun. This afternoon I'm feeling sort of combative, A battle of species is sounding very attractive. For this next stanza, no matter what the cost, We will see titans cross swords in the form of a spider and a wasp. They begin fighting, someone plays a koto and I'm sorry folks, I wish I had a photo.

Bugs & Birds & Curious Words
Drastic self-defence, Drastic in my linguistic augments, The evidence of my attempts at trying, To see any future where I’m not dying, And it makes no sense Tactic for offense, Offensive in sarcastic defiance, Ambivalence on a course for further premonitions, Static fragments of my continual refusal of any medicinal diminution, Please help me make some sense Psychopathic friends, Systematic traffic hence, Pensive head and that will drive you, Insane and round the bend if only they all knew, I can’t see any sense Automatic ends, Ammunition diplomatic, Suspense in its unanimously tragic situation, Fate’s unenthusiastic in its conflict upon two cognitive nations, That makes no sense Anatomically attic fenced, Just a poetic way to represent, One’s combative mental condition, An addict and the opposite always on the right and the left warring in attrition, If that makes any sense Plastic ornaments, Plastic bottles left to lament, As the alcoholic labyrinth in my life that cannot be broken, To help wash down writhing thoughts forced to remain unspoken, And an I that makes no sense Fix it no expense, Fixed monthly recompense now, I am a myth of someone, whom I do not know, Sickly pretence took me down a road that I never wanted to go, And now you say I’m finally making sense Panic is absent, Absent the magic, In the pills that in basic blindness I routinely swallow, Dynamic in the worn out tools that continue to carve once whole now hollow, Does that make any sense? Now I’m really not making sense, by finally making sense

Thrown from the ocean, stones and grit in our teeth, scraped stomachs, and sand in our suits, we will hurl ourselves into the combative waves once more, until we, too, become thoughtless, fearless water droplets, identical and indistinguishable from the rest of the ocean.

We Will
ripped out my lungs because it was already impossible to breathe; there was a light in the dark, there is something that i need. i will keep going, stand on this glass beach, and i'll sing baby, baby, baby, i just want some sleep. yeah, i just want some sleep. when she's talking to you your mouth hangs open but not as open as her heart that she sewed to her sleeve when she was thirteen. everyone says she reads like an open book, but you think she reads more like a tombstone. she has an expiration date and everyone knows it, but you want to be there until her light dies out. no doubt about it, you've lost your mind, but she was something you couldn't slide under the rug she kept coming back. oh god did she come back, looking like a goddess, and you were taken aback, trying to stay honest but honesty is only the best policy until it reveals her frailty over frivolity, she's precious, impressive, and beautifully combative- but never ever yours. slept with the devil when he promised me the love i lacked. somehow i was surprised when everything went black his face and eyes gave me a heart attack, and he was my baby, baby, baby, i was just a fallback. lust never more than a fallback.

rip (or r.i.p.)
The yeti woke up To find that his flower Wasn’t there All he hear was the word ma’re Being repeated and screamed He recognized the voice It was that of his beloved She was in distress When he found her Being ravaged by a monk This one was young Trying to kiss her She fighting him off. He enraged beat the young man to his death. Then yeti Took and carried his flower back to Their love nest He took the young woman to the springs And saw that she was bloodied Black and blue. When she stirred He thought she near death And stayed with her until she recovered The first time they couple The young woman Was combative Until she realized who was kissing her. They were gentle kisses on rough and sadistic. Then she realized her lover And let him in So the can gently couple “I am sorry for leaving you,” She wept. The yeti and his flower kiss There tounges meet and slowly danced A comforting dance As they couple.

Love poem written as Nebo Tsang 24.
Overwhelmed & underground Aching like a willow tree Too early to tell if you bite deep enough Anxious & blue I lie on the floor My stomach is cruel It defies my combative mind Jelly or jam will not do
