"complexes" poems
1.You're simply amazing that it becomes impossible to use complex words to truly portray your beauty since no amount of words in the world could ever define you. 2.Wewe ni ajabu tu kwamba inakuwa vigumu kutumia maneno tata kwa kweli kuonyesha uzuri wako tangu hakuna kiasi cha maneno katika dunia inaweza milele kufafanua wewe 3.Jy is net amazing dat dit onmoontlik komplekse woorde te gebruik om jou skoonheid werklik uitbeeld aangesien daar geen bedrag van woorde in die wêreld ooit kon jy definieer. 4. Vous êtes tout simplement incroyable qu'il devient impossible d'utiliser mots complexes à véritablement représenter votre beauté puisque aucune quantité de mots dans le monde ne pourrait jamais définir vous. 5. È semplicemente incredibile che rende impossibile utilizzare complesse parole per davvero rappresentare la tua bellezza poiché non quantità di parole nel mondo potrà mai definire . 6. es simplemente increíble que resulta imposible utilizar palabras complejas para verdaderamente retratar su belleza ya que ninguna cantidad de palabras en el mundo nunca te podría definir. 7. Είστε απλά καταπληκτική ώστε να καθίσταται αδύνατη η χρήση σύνθετων λέξεων με πραγματικά απεικονιστεί ομορφιάς σας δεδομένου ότι κανένα ποσό των λέξεων στον κόσμο θα μπορούσε να καθορίσει ποτέ σας. So if words couldn't possibly be enough then perhaps if I write it in another language it would be enough, but unfortunately it isn't. Words no matter how I put them out its simply not enough. You're Adored greatly, You're simply Amazing. And I thought you deserve to know.

What I bring to the table is Sensitivity, Sincerity, Compassion, Honesty and Respect What I bring to the table is Intelligence, Good Grace and Humour, Understanding and Confidence What I bring to the table is Generosity in spirit and Deeds, Calmness and Reflection, Strength, Bravery and Courage What I bring to the table is a Caring Soul, a Good Heart and Faith, Loyalty and Truthfulness and Trust What I bring to the table is Versatility, Competence and Originality What I bring to the table is the Love of Romeo and Real Passion unrivalled.......... So tell me why I am being GREEDY if I say I do not care if I eat alone! Am I to blame if some chose not to see Am I to blame if stunted pride and ego blinds Am I to blame if stupidity and foolishness abound Am I to blame if complexes and insecurities assail some Am I to blame if dishonesty and fickleness is more appealing Am I to blame if envy and jealousy blind eyes and minds in others Am I to blame if they term caring and attentive as clingy Am I to blame if they term Intelligence and Honesty as arrogance Am I to blame if they term Strength, Bravery and Courage as Male Chauvanism Am I to blame if they term Intelligence Competence and originality as Controlling Am I to blame when they lack the Ability to look honestly and truthfully within themselves before pointing their fingers So tell me why I am being GREEDY if I say I do not care if I eat alone So tell me why I am being GREEDY if I say I do not care if I eat alone at my table..........

He sees the world as her backdrop, And loves her wholly. She knows that and wants to love him back, but All she can feel is lonely. As he sleeps she cries in Tight, silent heaves in rhythm With his chest as he breathes. His face is lit from neon light, Slipping through a slit on the strung-up sheet-- An eye to the street, And to everything that's beyond this life that she leads. But she needs him and Please, she begs, *Have him Hate me, at least.  I'm weak-- I'll linger until he throws me away, Because at least then I can say That it wasn't my choice, but Everything must fade.* She goes on a walk every night now, Riddled with complexes and smoking, Eyes roving with 2AM mascara, Wearing a spring dress in dead winter. Head down in a crowd, aware Of herself existing only when men stare. They crave for her, she craves for him, Her sadness, a narcotic magnetism. She drowned off the coast Of the island in her kitchen. She weighed herself down with Her faults like mountains and Yellowed ambition.

The Hiss of Deflation
Haters, haters, hiding in the closets, hiding in faeces your putrid minds full of fears and all your weaknesses You are not men but degenerates and cowards in excesses but in your attempts to distract away from your deseases Look the parents you have and you know you're like rat fleas you lack a lot which makes you so angry and in pieces Washing once a week on other days its wet towel on faces smerge on stunted wieners never to be a winner at the races You're un-cool all you do is pretend but you ain't got the aces as charmless as chicken *** you're the left-behind in chases Never had a true compliment because you have no graces deep down you're a mess and petrified of background traces You have ***** linens and bad secrets buried in bad places you're nasty, think nasty and 've done things that debases Always afraid you pick on your betters rocking in perfect places full of inferiority complexes  real abilities get up your noses You've wet your bed and at night  you knowyou're ********* playing macho when in reality you want to do men's ***** Nobody likes the faceless cowards and abject scorn they entices partners and frenemies are there for themselves and free passes They see through them and smell their weakness without paces faking laughter at their hate and anger at winners they despises Haters are sick sad losers miserable inferiors with dark devises never happy, never content just slimy cowards in dumb disguises

Inchwood to U. Bard Wazungus et all....
A breadcrumb I am - the morsel of my old dough,      a piece of chewed bread rotten, missed near a toe, shredded by the sons of righteousness and “normality”,      entombed I am under the carpet to fulfil “morality”. Mum added the yeast for me to grow, as well as flour,      Hoping my crust would golden as a vivid live flower, She sprinkled little salt into me, to know the grimes,      Sugar too, for life brings out the salt to eyes, at times. Dad poured the water, to soften toughness uncalled,      For man is kind too, not merely clay masked, walled - And above all, they added affection and compassion,      They wanted me to satisfy mineself, not one’s ration. Into the oven, 9 minutes, under fire: I show colors,      The warmth turned the heart warm for all others; I am left to rest, to harden the shell and eternal body,      To be perfect as ma and pa wish: not adverse, shoddy. But the stale, unpuffed, unfresh bread of this world,      covets but loathes what is good and not yet twirled, It wishes for me to inhibit mold and evict dignity,     Mais allez, étrange moi, expose me not to malignity. The least of their gurgling sounds puncture heads,      And the weakest of their advice the spirit dreads; The making of me is the capacity of mine flexes,      Your ingredients suit not me, mortals and sexes. Days yearn for you, not this battle of complexes:      You, mine old dough who suddenly “complex” is, My parents baked me on low heat nice and gentle,      And they sear me with words not for me, mental! Know you: Pita, Kmajj, Brioche, Shrak, or Baguette,      Bread is bread, could be different, but it is no threat.

The Battle of Breads

Okay, the only one has been hiding their racism were whites. Trying to blend into society with others because employers require a get along attitude. Go to a bank and instantly you know the hiring schemes. And this any community. Same, with certain restaurants you attend. It's the blend that point the management comfortability out. White flight, existed because the "fearful" can't adjust to a changing society. History has shown this. And they have created it. Jim Crow's laws weren't created by blacks. Asians placed in America concentration camps wasn't their idea. And these were American citizens. History presently has shown that the new "pick on" group is the Latin communities. They MS13 or this or that. Many white businesses must be enjoying their employment keeping them in business. For in many big cities they building the complexes and hotels, and sidewalks. History has shown when it comes to justice they the first to try to scheme out of their crimes. But quick to holler about locking up criminals until it's them. History has shown when investigating wickedness in government. They lead the pack. Then this is just an opinion. And no way connected to alternative facts.

History Has Shown
here is something that mother told me about god complexes: “everyone believes themselves to be gods among men: even that hideous monster from your half-remembered Hellenistic dreams will retreat back to his craggy hideaway and continue with his hedonistic ways. the poor creature: he will don a halo, iconize himself in caricatures pretending that if for a moment his veins flow ichorous that Icarus may have envied when his wings beat in tandem with the footfalls of the sun chariots’ horses. “the sun shines upon hallowed ground, though Polyphemus will avoid Helios’s scornful gaze. he herds sheep––his only acolytes–– an unabashed king in his realm, like a god plays war, or as a child would play house, humming hallelujah, veins running gold-blooded. when moon rises, he will hang his weary shadow at his door and retreat to his fire-pit. perhaps this will be the closest he will be to the gods, basking in the heat of Hestia’s humble hearth. “in the end,” mother said, “Nobody will end up deified. Icarus may have rained down wax and feathers in godlike fury before tilting his head to Helios once more; Polyphemus waded into the sea, eyes clouded in godlike fury before resigning himself to fate, head bowed.”

POLYPHEMUS
Slithering slice Fixture of light Flicker, flicker along the fields of my sight As the bubble I evolve in expands Expanding towards my iris Gazing upon my hands Pupils dilated Expand, expand That's all reality does until it morphs towards a new dimension Once, again it is small Doing so is your decision Senses all bound to one Bound upon the screen am I High upon the realm is my third eye Rattling the vibration towards the ends of my feet In Out Then the energy meets Continuous flow Cycle, repetition, insanity, whatever may dwell through your mind All is all, it merely depends on the kind Variety, but also the same Dry, but with a hint of rain There is never a fully accurate range to perceive vibrations At least not in this journey My journey, my mere reality A malleable matter this dimension is Zoning unto a higher form brings the bliss Endless doors enclosed in a hallway Endless hallways enclosed in a complex Endless complexes enclosed within a grid Beyond the grid is a mirror The key to all universes merged and 'alive' within the multiverse A simple reflection, a mind blowing surge Breathing deeper into the land I urge Enhancements as the soul is here Ego at gone, nothing to fear How must a force so vulnerable be so beautiful? That is for all of us to answer We all thump into one, all inside the mirror of the Green Panther

there were things i had never imagined i would understand be; experience and gape bemusedly at my unbelieving ambiguous eyes in the unnoticeably clear smiling mirror of the bathroom. things such as being a creep the creep whose wandering eye wanders just a wee bit longer. A microsecond length of the not-understood, the suspicious,the dubious the curious sometimes, but really mostly nefarious lunatic, perhaps...? the creep whose teeth clench into a smile. the lips parting but only Mendaciously...perhaps..? the creep who peers into me like a god scouring my precious little secrets my hurt points, my loci of scandalous innocuous things meant to be inside of me for my self. the creep who infringes on my warm bed of Safety. *** ******** erectile dysfunction sneer ****** ***** me father mother weirdity all the complexes that make you Feel like a spider whose web is shattered with but an uncaring finger. power. Uncaring Callousness terrifying in it's brutality intent , and things beyond . the creep peers in. but i was only trying to make friends. a bit too hard , perhaps...? oh the creeps of the world i understand thy plight the fact that you never understand what you are doing but only after it has passed that the black hole irises of un-understanding visages come to you to inform you that you have been a creep, the Creep.

My happiness comes from me ask my friends and the world around me blossoming in a spark of crimsony red moon glow on forethought walks through the shivering lenses of percept that trickle down our backs as we enlighten ourselves with all that is in between and unseen. It is as if our aged limbs were caressed into a symphony of leverages and their shapes. We cannot be cadavers. We are arms of cheer and picture jasper, adolescent googled-eyes gathers with virile fixations on our partners as we prey on the map lines subtly employing our eyes as we dart across each dimple, pimple, freckle, and gently worn rash lines. These are the dogs of our incessant barking. Idling for sincerity, as actors swiftly press Winter into us while our limbless diction presents our inadequacy Rd upon our ugly and I'll-tempered neighborly-things. Aliens of the afternoon, first floor agony and karmas standard for living in a reduced climate One. Wearing down the hooves, undulates from Pepperdine mark trails with breaking breads and twigs and bones. Undulates from another world, behoofed and bemoved, curdling their sappy reselling a of drat and unkindly remarks. And we have begun to wonder when evolution will kick-in. When will the military come for them at the doors and vacate is all from our nontoxic lie-shrouded apartment complexes, condos, and cabins. Slaughter numbers of letters and integers right out in the street; loonies in the town square and the moose are crying.

Weighing Us Down, Down In The Weather
The spirochetes of the ages embellish themselves in a mystical quartet, as our respirations reverberate across sanctimonious plateaus of Oedipus and Electra complexes. Your celestial convictions are tasteful as they wistfully meander through the fuselage of hydrangea bushes and ***** foxgloves. I can feel the beat of your apprehensive pulse. As we applaud the demise of this psychological stage-show, where connected separations unravel their shameful mysteries into a vortex of deluded academia; it is evident when someone communicates deep convictions across pulsating swamps of cosmological hemispheres. So, as we merge into this cataclysmic vortex of enshrinement, let us embrace the past understanding of future ambivalence where the beginning can only be understood within the context of the end.

The Developmental Paradox of Astral Travel
optimists and pessimists need each other to diffuse their respective perspectives. pessimists get too helpless. they feel everything is on them. it starts to feel like they think they're Atlas, or Sisyphus. pushing their boulder up the mountain, forever and ever alone. some inferiority complexes border on narcissism. optimists get too helpful. they burn so hot they forget that sometimes they can be as useless as the pessimists feel. most people that want to be positive, surround themselves with positive people. and negativity vice versa. this creates delusion. it makes happy people seeing all that's happy and unhappy people seeing all that's unhappy. no one group feels for the other and neither ends up feeling anything completely. you put yourself in a position where all your input contains a consistent confirmation of your stale, untested outlook. if nothing is tested, nothing is validated. that's just science. surround yourself with people that diffuse you. you need that tension. if nothing else, you won't get bored.

diffusion
For years the square inner courtyard, surrounded by sky-reaching apartment complexes, accessible only through brief openings between the buildings whose windows looked down soullessly upon our child's play, contained my entire world, and I did not perceive any difference in the hands, faces, and seasonal limbs of my friends-- But when I returned the openings had closed, the courtyard inaccessible to an unrecognizable Cincinnati child whose white face and green eyes brought only memories-- 1884, 1929, 1944, 1967, and angry April showers that drowned disapproving windows in curfews of 2001. And I do understand. But, Would the windows open if they knew there's black in my line, way back in my line, from a time when ships like the Delta Queen-- sailed the Middle Passage monikered in false virtue granted by titles like Henrietta Marie-- brought African queens instead of slot machines-- when the fields of mud ran with blood hemorrhaged from Makhulu's innocence forcibly stolen by Grampa's lust. Now I must window watch my own daughter, recalling the lesson on the names of the week: You know daddy, someone just made those names up. And I can see beyond her blonde pig-tails-- the darkness of her eyes recalls the act of shame-- coupled with the sharp wit of a chained matriarch standing proudly on the auction block declaring: These waterways are all connected.

Cincinnati Child
Night hiking through the last of the giant fields Deserted farm land in between brand new townhouse complexes Your new found Australian shepherd is herding us Charging ahead and circling back to make sure we’re coming The grass is up to our waists We’re walking to walk making daisy chains testing butter cups under our chins, ******* honeysuckle lightning bugs flicker The twilight moon is already high in the sky Our breath is white - It’s just a bit too cold out We smoke and talk and shiver I keep looking at my watch and can’t concentrate I start to wish I was home cuddled under blankets bingeing on junk food watching tv. It’s been a bit too long with you today After we walk home and you leave, then I miss you Moonlight. Finally – sleep.

I don’t play my mandolin everyday anymore, let alone my guitar or tin whistles I can’t let this die I listened to 7 year old Japanese math rock and want just a speck of that An identity where I can sift right through all this mediocre destruction all around No one even has the gall to admit they’re killing or the decency to even cover it up anymore They videotape themselves dancing and murdering kids for lebensraum then turn around and say “no we’re not” I’m tired of surface level house maintenance followed by immobile phone scrolls I’m looking for that lesson we’ll all learn after finally going too far I won’t play the victim or the hero no more I did my part and now I’m too old I need deeper art to escape samsara for good and maybe that’s the best I can do comrades I’m sick of details grown so scattered and thin My whole past feels like entrails smeared across vast deserts There used to be rainforests here but now it’s hard to find the pictures Just when things almost get too competent and nice they let decadence do its worse out of fear that the improvements would make goods and services too cheap not to be free Socialism’s bad for business owners so we lay off the workers and overcharge even more Let the octogenarian billionaires buy up more water and air to keep the fellas in the favelas gnashing and grim Bunker complexes, spaceships, missiles coated in spent uranium; these are all more important than starving children Why do the poor keep having poor kids? Still a conundrum We gave them a chance to compete some ephemeral time ago and they blew it What can we do? We tried to teach a man to fish… Imagine Jesus Christ just giving folks fish and bread for nothing in return?

They weren't born with a silver spoon only an umbilical cord tied round their necks alas this stopped enough oxygen getting to their brains creating minds full of mumbo jumbo ideas and fantasies and a bleeding wound that gives them pain without relief reminding them all the time they are low and never good enough cause they were born without a silver spoon on a dusty ***** track It's a blemish that can never be erased even with a million lucre they still feel small and stained you can take them out of the manger not the shame out of them they always believe and know that those others are better than them with stunted-brains and raving-angst they never see the world right its us and them burns the burning passions in conflicted sad minds life long struggles for the struggle to find that silver spoon never had Their leaders had a brilliant idea in time mind without a silver spoon their brains always suspect find all the silversmiths and **** them all and then nationalize silver one called Stalin killed millions because he saw silver in their teeth one Pol *** decided he saw silver in the educated and killed them all this Chavez took all the silver and gave it all away now they are poor and Fidel says we'll share equally but I and my brotha will only give The Silver searchers in the some of the West decided, we should just fight and talk and hold rallies and hate all those born with the silver spoon must be punished to kingdom but look says some, you can have silver if you only apply yourself that's a trick says them of the befuddled minds and complexes bad let's just be nuisances and hate and holler and torment and harass Looking closely all their leaders had silver spoons but that's OK

Hi - ** Silver......

A simple mind calls for a simple life. An intellectual heart calls for heartbreak. A shallow soul calls for an easy lifestyle. An over-thinking brain calls for unresolved problems. Try too hard, and we fail. Don't try enough, and we fail again. Love too much and you will be hurt. If you don't Love enough you hurt yourself. How is it life gives us so many complexes and still expects us not to dream about death? Or with that, yearn for a day where we can start all over again? One day a resolution will be found. Burrowed in the dirt somewhere deep inside our growing wills. Plant your seeds, water your garden, and grow your vessels. Self-Actualization takes time.

An Answer
His observant mind held Strands of coded bonds Fond of expressions for Incisive presentations Of what could be foretold. He metastasized thought And tempted his youth, unraveling behavior favoring adult endeavors And here I permit my fist Beneath my chin in complacency Statuesque, pondering whether My decisions are remnants of bloodlines, Coupled complexes attractive to be subtractive To my true desires Whether his dismays maybe in part To inquiries of adolescent angst The repetitive cycle remains with Finding one’s embodiment of identity

i had a dream i was rising through the trees i had a dream i was falling through the ground on docks calling a name i've never known sitting in empty studies with the lord calling mine bad news used to sound like footsteps down the hallway, used to be my mother's hand turning the doorknob and now it is a rotating hubcap or a night without stars full yellow moons out over the complexes in the west it sounds like empty milk cartons and the tone of my own voice it is people demanding that i be open the most tragic of flaws-- i am meeting people just like me telling them I want something more can the wounded want more?

un petit
the rustling of the leaves in the trees the audible tremble of a collective chill sounds just like the beach my front porch a shining metropolitan shore the sun seems to soften into welcoming; a different sun that doesn’t scowl hotly over apartment complexes and make liquid of asphalt and people a benevolent warmth you can only get out of the city the air rubs itself in coarse salt and Coppertone this glass of water in my hand may well be the ocean the shift in my lap the waves a floating leaf a boat adrift on cerulean seas the children laughing and playing here are the same children laughing and playing there, too i am reminded that everything can be given a new life if you tell a wild heart of an ordinary thing if i just close my eyes a beach is never far away

I do admire How our seasons change Winter's tale Becomes summer's sonnet. Quaint complexes And their uncomplicated dwellers Existing in solid metronome. Years skip over And it's always the same story. How do you keep your composure so well? He painted still life on repeat. Sometimes things Are better admired from a distance. Her tattered quill Has been crafting chronicles For ages Most with mixed morals And chapters of relentless passion Shared by the wicked, The naive, The reckless, And the virtuous. Divulging into each finely chiseled character Their legends, their struggles Bid to cease only when Clocks move in reverse (History may not repeat itself here) Here we believe We posses the entirety of the universe. (Infinity stops at the border Of silver sheens And construction beams) Within our pool Of blood and glory The myths are no longer only Fool's dialogue. In this city, They are alive.

Double Luxury
I tasted the air this afternoon I tasted dry snowflakes and pollution Another day in this ohio wasteland Many things come to mind with that word Wasteland Is it me that's wasting away? Or is it my enviornment ? Woodlands rapidly giving way to back alleys And second rate apartment complexes Or is it me My true inner being My real self slowly giving way to society's mandates Like a tree falling lonesome with his sound unheard And with no lumberjack to yell timber, Does the deadfall go to remain unnoticed?
