"conned" poems
Amnesia like leaky faucets swollen drain ventilates vapid powdered portrait At least smiled. Blood slightly warmed manicure and smiled in forgotten garden Such lovely font. All wanted Mini clouds surrounding shrines backlit green in ritual. Smiles speak but of the wet smell of pollen and the sweat collecting in his hand behind the small of her uncrushed spine. Curing chlamydia the straight—A fairytale. Conned alive, clumsily and bitter. Nurtured cotton uprooted attempt. Scrubbed stains to shreds Not even the green light merely aftermath so of course when shaking egg shells sheltering in “cold hands warm heart” chests receive the song I sing but never knew

We are a global society When we want oranges in the fruit bowl, When we want out of our rut Just long enough To brown in a patch of Spanish sun. We are a global society When the Japanese car breaks down And we are in need of a cheap fix To keep food on the table, Some Latvian mechanic Who helps us find our way home. We are our own nation, An island nation, When the zeroes run low And there are spaces, Foreign faces, To which we can point And blame. We are a global society With our sweat-shop chic, American coffee chains Selling Colombian ground beans, Frappuccinos in plastic cups- Made in China And served by a Romanian barista In Italian heels. We are a global society When the demand is high And the payment is low. We are our own nation, An island nation, When hands reach out for help And our pockets are too shallow, Our time, too brief To commit to a unity We feel is dragging us down. We are a global society When the football is on, When the lager is Belgian And the supermodel, Greek. When we cradle that bag of Cheetos After smoking too much **** We are a global society When oppression is overt, Caricatured in bulletin posters, Threatening to land Upon our own front door. We are our own nation, An island nation, When poverty seems contagious, When we have to clean up Someone else’s mess, Still we scar the Middle East Only half-interested in an exit. We are a global society When we get sick, When we borrow another doctor For our ailing NHS. When cities of white people burn, We are a global society, When Africa is divided, We are nowhere to be seen. Prime mover of the commonwealth Yet we fall beneath the breadline And living easy is so rare. We are our own nation, An island nation, Under the false flag Of a golden age We were conned to believe in. Our nation, our island nation, Lost amongst a sea of misinformation.

Eye of a stone, Blinded in shame, Snakes on my head Crying in vain Dare not trip in wires of the sky God or men, hate them or die duel of chic, Angels of brothels Serving their bodice, mind and villany To art disown heaven Or to burn into dust Hell is just the reality Rising To face, To fall, The superior Or call him Unworthy, fake, Terror is his name! "He is wise, he is great!" Only fools pass his gate To drag Lucifer the bringer of light Into shadow, the dark of night Call him Hades, call him bad It's the truth in his hand And how could i forget Poseidon Dear me, the conned face of villainy dragged my flesh and sent me to hell Burning his desires unto my breadth And i stood for justice name her Athena she is fair or so i though till i read "She's one of them, beware!" And turned my head into a snake like crown fighting my innocence bringing me down Alone in this misogynist land Grab my bitter hand! Mankind is cruel Man doesn't build home, Justice contradicts itself And Gods turn us into stone

Yours, Medusa
You are witnessing a prodigious talent and promise, and to a lesser extent but still to the degree whereby it should keep you awake at night writhing in cold sweats, your life, slip agonisingly through your open and clammy palms. Promise means so little if not actualised. You have been granted chance after warning after fortuitous escape yet have blithely spurned every omen and will one day fall, swiftly and perhaps terminally. You are almost certainly depressed. You say you love your girlfriend, and you mean it wholeheartedly when you do, but you worry that the relationship perpetuates as without her there would be no reason to rise with the sun. Even if the relationship is  unstable, and at times verging on the unhealthy, you believe you love her but are too great a coward to consider decisive action if that belief is to reside or subside. Your friends range from kind and honest yet deeply flawed to somehow toeing an inextricably thin line between dependability and duplicitousness. Conversations with a certain few of your friends necessitate decrying every undercooked ethos you've every conned yourself into believing you hold (you could well be the most hypocritical liberal to walk the earth, for you are innately and irrepressibly selfish) yet you still nod placidly as your conscience squirms. Grotesquely, like a beaten spouse, you crave the gaze of those who have treated you with the most insulting derision, but are too proud (of what?) and, a running theme, too cowardly, to stoop to a simple detante. You must change, for it pains you on a most base level to have to accept the feeble, whimpering, simpering spectre you have become. You must be bold, brave, unashamed in your convictions, anything but pursed and silent lips. You have a voice, and you must now speak loud enough for them to hear, for that which has become blunted must be whetted, sharpened, readied for battle to be unsheathed at an utterance. Heed the signs and change, for our sake. You, a milksop who attentively notes the sophistry of courage, you can still be brave, and you must be. For one day you will be swelled with a courage and fortitude to fill your sails taut, enough to leave this place, forget these people and bear you away.

Before me now a little picture lies— A little shadow of a childish face, Childishly sweet, yet with the dawning grace Of thought and wisdom on her lips and eyes. Fair, oval, broad-brow'd face—small, delicate head— Transparent skin, with blue veins shining through— All the soft outlines, beautiful and true, Bring me the echo of the words “God said.” Made “in our image”—sure 'tis that we see, God's likeness, in the fair face of a child, By the world's sin and passion undefiled— Ay, as I look, it seems quite plain to me. The light wherein the little features shine, Strange, mystic light, so undefined and faint, So far too pure for any words to paint— 'Tis a reflection of the Face divine. Some day the earthly shadows will be cast Across that sunshine—it may be to dim A while the visible countenance of Him; But 'twill be there—the likeness—to the last. Some day the lucid waters, in which lie Pictured those glorious lineaments, will be Stirred up and troubled like a stormy sea;— But they will yet re-settle—by-and-by. They will re-settle when the soul is still'd, Its passions, its wild longings, and its pain; The pure reflection will shine out again When earth's hopes are relinquish'd, unfulfill'd. They will re-settle in those after-years When life's hard lessons have been conned and learn'd; Then this child's beauty will have all return'd, More lovely for the trouble and the tears. They will re-settle in the calm of death, When the sweet eyes are laid asleep, and when The heart is hush'd. Truly God's likeness then— The mirror clear, unsullied by a breath. Ah! while I look, and trace each tender line, I think most of the day when I shall see The dear face in that perfect purity, Its mortal features clothed with the divine. This self-same face, but with the image bright, Nevermore undefined, and faint, and dim; This self-same face, yet like the face of Him, In glory and in beauty infinite.

Career versus Motherhood We live in a strange world when someone decides our priorities that benefit the mysterious THEM, but not what we want but told to aspire for. In Europe the population is shrinking because women of the middle classes want a career and that is fine only when they realise they have been putting off the child- bearing too long it is often late they must seek medical help or adopt from an exotic African state. We have got our priority wrong and we have been conned, motherhood is more important than being a vice president of a financial company. Alas, the world is not like that being a housewife is not what she get a great pension for- she should- not risking living in poverty when old. Housewife a title to be proud of because she carries our common future in her womb.

career versus motherhood
Get impassioned, get informed, get involved, because our ignorance makes us impotent, irrational, idiotic invalids, incapable of inquiry, and strips us of our individuality. Time to step up and take back what's yours. Hedge fund managers and securities brokers hold a cumulative trillion + dollars in assets. While you're living on minimum wage, working 2 jobs, struggling with job security, or drowning in student debts; they rake in 9 figure incomes by gambling with other people's money, and get tax breaks that come out of your pocket. Your voice is not insignificant, you are just as important as the people you idolize. Believe in yourself and extend it to others. We are the collective majority, and we have been conned. Together, we have the power to make a change for the better, so spread the word, and tell em you heard: get impassioned, get informed, get involved.

A Thought (Expanded)
Down behind the communal garages, Our knees were scabbed and scarred, Badges of honour, to ten-year old savages, Earnt in chasis' of burnt out cars. There, on the side of a wall, Nineteen-Sixteen, had been daubed in emulsion, Just another target for our ball, To find its meaning ? we had no compulsion. It was a circular Nine, like a giant comma, And the Six was rotund, as well, Against all the rules Sister Mary of the Immaculate Madonna taught, in those hand-writing classes from hell. It was similar to a giant 1690, I'd seen in another part of town, On the gable-end of a property emptied, Before an our street versus your street showdown. Then one day, the Old Fella' explained, In 1916 we stood up for ourselves, A pride in our nation regained, As the G.P.O. was shook to its shelves. "Son, we tired of crawling on our belly, Being beaten, battered and conned, Surely you've heard me talk of Connolly ?" I said, Yeh he's me favourite James Bond. But this was Liverpool, Nineteen Seventy-Two, And me Da' had been over here years, What he was on about, I never had a clue, Though it was the first time I ever saw him shed tears.

1916
Watch me closely, God, though you’ve seen it all before. I’ve got the universe up my sleeve and it’s itching for a sleight, if you’re willing to be conned. The stardust filling Aquarius has poured for countless millennia and it won’t brim the bottomless cup of your oceanic blues. That’s the warm-up for Lepus who, lean and polar-white, leaps out from my flipped-over cap and is chased by the steel-plied Orion’s hankering for roast hare. Hunger-driven this heaven hunter has a saggy belt; his sword’s tip drags, slicing Gemini in two, but twins can’t be parted long and divinely grasping Pollux clasps Castor’s pause anew. Conjoined, they bow together under showers of milky petals kissing no-longer furrowed brows till black velvet curtains fall and are followed by your eons of endearing applause.

Glass you gave me is emptiful, The
Madrid and after the street salesman conned you out of coins in your change Mamie said well put it down to experience we all get caught at one time or other and they have brought forth great art and you stared at her at her hair and eyes and said yes I guess but you were still peeved about it but then thought of the night before when you and she had slept all night in the coach through France and into Spain she with her head on your shoulder making little snoring sounds sometimes talking in her sleep other times turning towards you with her mouth slightly ajar and her hair in a mess and you had moved in on her and kissed her brow like one planting a soft kiss on a corpse and that made you laugh and she said what’s so funny? and you said taking hold of her hand crossing a street just something entered my head what? she said about kissing a corpse you replied what corpse? and that reminded you of the time they brought your father’s body home for the night before his funeral and as he lay there in the coffin your gran had said kiss him goodbye and so you did and that stayed with you the feel and chilled skin and how it didn’t seem to be him just a shell but you loved him still for all that and when you told her that she said how sweet and you gazed at her at her eyes and hair and kissable lips as you walked the Spanish street.

MAMIE AND YOU IN MADRID.
you give me waaay too much credit; u are investment; a great poet, needing tending and nurture, watering and encouragement; since god could not be everywhere, he made sure many poets exist to tend to their fellow's seeds ~~ the problem with seeds they don't come with a guarantee from the manufacturee, or a note from home for the teacher, that makes ''my dog et it'' slightly more believable, each a new babe seedy needy, crying in the mid of night, for water and loving attention as it teethes roots in the soil, and the discourteously majority fail to appear even if you read them good night moon, nightly you must plant ten, hoping one child, will sprite sprout and even then, survive the outrageous misfortunes of  natures bumps and beaks of the day and night that lurk about in a disarmingly charmingly destructive way did i say ten?   idiot. plant a hundred just to obtain one germination. I think the seed guys have conned us pretty good the odds truly **** as you, the champion children like to say nowadays, and **** they are, too right sun I cannot control: water and soil, I can, for if n'ere to rain, your seeds will be well fed, well read, and the water, my eyes will supply naturally

old words of encouragement for new poets: water and seeds
Into his lacy web of deceit She was lured very cleverly What started as a fusion of like minds Soon took on strong emotional tones He led, she followed rather docilely Bowing to his every whim and fancy They moved into a new neighbourhood And life appeared peaceful and happy Until some ghosts from his murky past Were resurrected without warning An abandoned wife and son turned up At the doorstep with ample evidence That he had been living a life of duplicity Overnight her dreams were shattered She wore a pained and very haunted look How could she have been conned by him In such a complete and perfect manner He was a spider who knew the intricacies Of spinning a web with attention to detail It was so imaginatively done that even she A woman of intellect had got ****** in To his credit, had he not been recognised Accidentally by an old rival visiting the area His first wife would have never tracked him They would still be living in his web of deceit

I am a Particle
Sparks fly from the flint crushing as you raise your brow marveling away over which rock you’d rather be I smile, ponder, then laugh at you, in opted denial it’s what you've always been, what I control being a diplomatic ball of ice on flames, with an aura a disarray is it us portraying them in grayscale, chin hanging in the air knowing what we know and pretending to not, yet care queerly scared of change but so sure of getting tired merging and shattering, perpetually deemed on trial and then there exists, at the dawn of my memories your shadow across the bed, lighting up a cigarette its smoke, my first reminder of your existence trying to clasp on to the awry black creases on the wall as they wrap me into the oblivion of your arms now it seldom melts at the genial contact of your voice reckon it might not become hard on being choused the beautiful black creases have dissolved through my fingers it has been conned to stay stoically un-aroused.

Learn to wait--- life's hardest lesson Conned, perchance, through blinding tears; While the heart throbs sadly echo ♡♥♥♡To the tread of passing years. Learn to wait-- hope's slow fruition; Faint not, though the way seems long; There is joy in each condition; Hearts through suffering may grow strong, Thus a soul untouched by sorrow ~~~~~~Aims not at a higher state; Joy seeks not a brighter morrow; ~~~~~~Only sad hearts learn to wait AUTHOR UNKNOWN

LEARN TO WAIT
Your hands reaching towards the sun They’ve conned you into thinking its fun Grabbing fistfuls of darkness While longing the lightness Feel it slipping through Almost as elusive as finding remnants of you Before happiness was a memory you could only dream of And frozen snapshots of her face the girl you used to love Reaching reaching reaching reach for a hand Anything you can hold on to Try to lighten up find someone new So you let down your guard And grab mine hard As you trust me to lift your body Higher up than anybody Because you know I can And I know you can You strive toward the feeling of lightness Like a ghost there but not really there Watching in the background you used to stand Now you find out you really can’t As more falls to the ground The lower you sink down Going through the motions Mind zombified you lost your emotions Your vitality your control You became so focused on your goal When will you be satisfied When will you realize That too less is too much A revelation falls from the sky Carries to your mind In the form of a white lily The voice whispering in your head Lying in the hospital bed The lighter you are The heavier my heart becomes

To twine and wind within and round my heart with yours, a ribbon found. Sleeping bows, silence lies loops and tails, undone in sighs. Silken lashes, a knotted kiss, wrists together in bounded bliss. A thousand fathoms as light subsides, take me down, together tied. Glossy one side, inked on back drawn by a hand who's skill I lack. Lungs sawn and slaughtered, of breath be conned yet still I yearn for black beyond. Your gentle bow belies such strength hidden power in it's lengths. Wrapped now, helpless, and happy so in love's tangled depths I go.

Common Sense is Absent
Forty eight hours since I sat at my dining room table The sweetness from the red velvet bundts and The sharpness of the burnt wax filled the air I had just blown out the candle on another year And I looked at my small stack of cards And I realized that none were signed with your name But I wasn’t surprised because Not only did you bail the day before to see us For the first time in a few months but You hadn’t even called. Friends I haven’t talked to in years logged onto facebook And typed the two measly words That would have made all the difference. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by both Your neglectful nature and Your ******** excuses But it doesn’t help it hurt any less. I wonder if you remember the disgust When you not only lit up in the car with me But told me the right woman could make you quit Or recall the weeks I was trapped In a cheap house with cracking doors On a dirt road in some small city With your crazy, thought-to-be witch of a wife That conned you for all that you had To split with her drug addict, anxiety-ridden sons. Even if your memory is that far-fetched that you don’t You can’t even bring yourself to remember The day I was born? Even if you had, the lack of acknowledgment Is utterly upsetting And it left the pieces of my smile Scattered on the shower floor As I heard my mother yell at your voicemail Because you couldn’t bother to pick up The other line either. The week you wait to apologize Won’t make me any more eager to forgive And you best realize I won’t forget. *August 13, 2014 9:52:25 PM*

Bitten by a bitter asp, Scorched by a flame, Conned by a sneaky fox, And charmed by his game. So, excuse me, if I’m wary, Of your silky, smooth orations, Or bewildered and maybe slightly scared, Of these somewhat odd sensations. My soul is bidding that I run, From your words, so much like his, But, my heart commands my feet to stay, Afraid of what I’ll miss. Afraid, also, that your tender touch, Is tender in only practice. Frightened that your wooing game, Will end shy of the kiss. Yet, What if your lips are sweetened with, Sugar in its purest state. And, your eyes whisper to me, not lies, But secrets of our hidden fate. I want my heart to beat with yours, And to allay these silly fears. But, how can I know that you won’t go, And leave me fighting tears? I trust you with my kisses, With my rain of sweet affection. I give to you my drowsy dreams, For a feverish night’s connection. Though my heart wells up with age-old songs, At the whisper of your name, And belts them out on every corner, It’s within my own breast, all the same. My fingers idle at the thought, Of unlocking my heart once more, Leery of the childish stitching, From heartbreaks done before. Cross your heart, and say you’ll stay, To love me through the night, To narrate my dreams, and welcome the beams, That pour in from waking light. To give my heart is to give my love, To the one I most adore. And, when it’s true, I swear to you, My heart and soul is yours.

To: You, From: Me
Should I speak with velocity As I claim to leak veracity? Share a fair stare leads to “harassing me” Silence holds a gold ferocity But platinum resides inside a travesty Yet the origins of this casualty Was not the first fatality It's birth was an idea, you see? Are you sick of this this hostility? Is your health a grim variety? Failed to conform to propriety? Here's an inferno “Oh no, a monstrosity!” So why chastise my morality? Must I despise and note your deformity? Lead covered gold is not a new novelty But somehow chaos seems so orderly Cheat on Death with Immortality Sleep with Lust for chastity Uniqueness is another banality Copy/pasted originality Experience this eternal finality Our follies are a great mentality Your demise is your vitality Real life is surreality Feign the truth with validity Pride upon your humility Rust brags of lost durability Insomniacs thrive restlessly If you engage in logomachy Then you'll love this: sophomachy “Who's more manly?” Phallomachy “Let's do what's right!” Hypocrisy We act like we have modesty But we boast of prowess internally “Maybe if I work with integrity, They might notice, and appreciate me” Work too hard? Liability Conned her heart? Lie-ability Honesty at start? Futility Torn apart? Utilize utility Day dream REM stage: Insanity Sanitize with rage: Calamity Perhaps it's a phase: Therapy Live like “good ol' days” regretfully Raze a raised loving family Tame their ways with amnesty And watch them break their identity Of perfection tainted in fidelity Are our minds just a cavity? Uprising against the gravity Speak high of low society Think I'm crazy? Analyze me A grave cradling a memory Of each ill-fated ideology We die for our biology Pyromania is the new cryology

Should I speak with velocity As I claim to leak veracity? Share a fair stare leads to “harassing me” Silence holds a gold ferocity But platinum resides inside a travesty Yet the origins of this casualty Was not the first fatality It's birth was an idea, you see? Are you sick of this this hostility? Is your health a grim variety? Failed to conform to propriety? Here's an inferno “Oh no, a monstrosity!” So why chastise my morality? Must I despise and note your deformity? Lead covered gold is not a new novelty But somehow chaos seems so orderly Cheat on Death with Immortality Sleep with Lust for chastity Uniqueness is another banality Copy/pasted originality Experience this eternal finality Our follies are a great mentality Your demise is your vitality Real life is surreality Feign the truth with validity Pride upon your humility Rust brags of lost durability Insomniacs thrive restlessly If you engage in logomachy Then you'll love this: sophomachy “Who's more manly?” Phallomachy “Let's do what's right!” Hypocrisy We act like we have modesty But we boast of prowess internally “Maybe if I work with integrity, They might notice, and appreciate me” Work too hard?

Spacemen, cavorting, ridiculous jollity, Fuzzing stars buzzing in the fabric Space-time, folding, holding on Spin, seven, nine, four, Okay, Just try to hold on. Spinning lights flee by feeling Hurry on Sunday Slow Circles. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? You have no air. You didn’t listen. You had a warning… Strap yourselves into the spin Dazed and conned Fused into your seat Dancing in madness Whistles, flutes and shakers Unsettle your Muted rhythm. We sing for blessed distortion Then drop away Away Who did and Why? Why? Oh, God… Bridge. Wonder threw four bidden streets and re-jet, the Prince Palls, Ash on faced the walls. Bridge. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Causes her arm. Cause is her harm. Cause is arm. Arms are the cause of her harm. Then- Bridge. Then- Begin again… You should not have done that.

You should not have done that.
Swiftly so much to sweep Helsing so deep the love hard to keep Her words were off balance Poem stanza Mama Mia all formed Like a ballerina 575 Japanese Haiku Designer Pucci Sochi releasing so piercing garden jailed away I begged I needed to feel guided Maid hard-love of slavery to the requiem the chariot of horses Jumped like eyes of the demon She pleaded with what corruption Planes fired with struggling Hearts became stronger The taste was the different side wicked fun animation The men were changed cruel love aviation Needing the right ammunition Prince Zar became 666 Stalin Leadership of blackmail Lips got sealed with more love friction Make your poems roll in The Trump Tower polls in Holy Gods Italian Collisuem Every hour Poem maid         Requiem The maid she had his words Less communication so ***** what transcends Your life depends? "Delicious" Monsterous" Only words "Devious" maid Beauty and the beast to digest Destiny short poems of ecstasy Oh!

The cadence slowed to near zero Spandex is lying in waste The corruption of an American hero Ended our love for the race The country once cheered for a bike Though most didn't understand Beating cancer, Germans, and the French, we did like So we began to clap our hands Not all is lost for cycling folks We still have our bikes and gear So wax the carbon frames an tighten the rear spokes A conned youth might excite French fear Pedal!!! Le Tour is ours next year.
