"debauched" poems
Plagiarism of worthless ideals, that you so ignorantly hold high. Shaking in amazement, how can you call your self alive? Totalitarian, lethargic lifestyle. Ignominious displays of disaffection. Constant contradictions; out of your mind. Caught up in the clouds, cognition of mania and level debauched. Up to high to realize, you're an “open mind” with locked doors. Maslow, Skinner, and Darwin alike, turn in their graves, over your lack of evolution.

"Honestly? I'd just cover that up", he says Orion's not moving. Stars don't move. They may die, they may dim, they may traverse galaxies Change position in the night sky with the seasons Give me one. good. reason. To cover up my compass home, The one good thing, the one beautiful thing, On this scarred and wretched body? "We'll put Orion somewhere else, start over" You're not my mother, ripping out a new piercing Locking the door on a daughter and her father Drinking and dating and thinking "start over" My skin is just my skin, the moles and ink And decisions are mine to live in How dare you claim yourself an artist, yet break down your clientele, your canvas So Orion's not the problem, sir It's a debauched attitude toward station When I follow the stars tonight, I will tell them Needles have no consideration

Social chaos metered out through tiers of population stung By indiscriminate battle wrought lifeblood, incessantly, is wrung. Why so the need for Assad’s torch, your Syria so needlessly debauched ? Nameless causes fuel the fire, Shiite, Sunni intervention. Hezbollah and al Qaeda spew Vindictiveness to streets of rubble, Toxic, killing vapours stew. Misery to gasping children, horror in the dying eyes…. Condemnation points it’s staff to you, Assad, where vile blame now lies. Why so the need for cities torched, Damascus needlessly debauched ? Inevitably the missiles cometh, raining incandescent death and blast, International righteousness throws intervention’s unknowns vast. Why so this need for man debauched, Your Syria, once so beautiful, now scorched ? Marshalg Pukehana 7 September 2013

Why so, Syria ?
Relatives of dead convicts with debauched faces and curly headed sailors sing morose melodies to the wail of saxophones screaming strings clashing cymbals and the rattle of kettle drums.

Dissonance
I'm looking for a Neurotic Girl someone who will break down before I do someone who's not afraid to cry,as the tea kettle boils, after telling me about her problems. Someone I can worry about,and do unselfish things for, and offer some comfort to, someone who depends on me for a change. I'm looking for a girl who isn't too confident in herself,even though she's wonderful, at least in my eyes. Someone who hasn't got her entire life sorted out, just yet. Someone who'll realise that I can be a nice person, behind the facade. Because these days I'm wandering from party to party from pointless city centre venues and all-too-familiar and contemptible small town social haunts and all I see and hear are the attention-seeking, the unreachably friendly, the distant and the involved All swimming in mediocrity If you'll pardon the fake sophistication of that last metaphor And all I'm left to do is wonder what it would be like to find someone who I could be Introspective, Debauched and Nihilistic with A nice Neurotic Girl. But I suppose that would invariably lead to some sort of responsibility in my otherwise self-absorbed existence I would have to pretend that I am a proper kind of person for the sake of my fragile lover's much needed feeling of security I would take it upon myself to go out into the world to keep a sort of balance for the both of us spending headache-inducing hours with people whom I cant stand while she sits at home and smokes in bed.

I was going to write a sonnet, but I didn't have the gumption First my pen ran out of ink, then my hand just wouldn't function I could not start or stop to think Things were happening in slow motion I felt as though I'd surely sink Into the coldest darkest deepest ocean. I started off fine, my ambition was evident But by the 10th line, I'm debauched and decadent. I hate to write this, my fingers are hesitant, Nothing else in life is, but failure is permanent.

Wild Little Dingo
In a mess, I awake to the feeling I didn’t do it, so I puke and I crawl and I drink just to do it all again. At night, I am needlessly obsessive in wasting time, only maudlin with alcohol stained tears alone in a bathroom stall. In the harsh darkness, my shadow falls to its knees reckless and voluntarily debauched can’t stop the sins from slipping out. At times, I have discovered myself to be obscene so I scream instead of honeyed whispering begging for the familiar collapse. Crazed, I shake my hair out and leave before you notice, walking like a shameless heretic to find the next version of myself. For a moment, I twist and turn sour in your mouth, and if you thought kissing me would save me, you were wrong.

Emotional *****
As I sit here just chewing the cud Nights lost and debauched with my friend Richard Picking up that guitar as a kid from Cash Converters He left me for the sun down under with the students and the surfers E Minor through to a chord named A Sharp Strangling that neck with fingers that don’t know where to start I should have listened to Mr Hogarth for this career in its finest form Rocking out on stage wow that would have been a storm But it’s never too late to try and give it another go Read music they say but I wouldn’t know my **** from my elbow No, no, no, that’s not the attitude I’ll plug this thing and never give up as someday I’ll fill those smoky rooms I joined a band with 2 brothers and bassist of whom I did not know Mill Hill practice every Sunday just thought I’d give it a go But only one song and a commitment I could not keep it was always bound to fail I’ll carry on solo still looking on but really just chasing my own tail Work carried on as a plumber of which I never did really enjoy But it paid the bills A mortgage A van And a wedding on the horizon All in sight except for that unseen tree which nearly stopped me from ever rising Paraplegic is a word I had rarely ever used you’re a ******* a **** I had said once myself how dare I have used that abuse To be told you will never walk again is a shot that broke my heart Don’t let it get you down be strong and try for a brand new start The days go by at the start of this new journey The loss of once friends and to gain some new is now what must ground me A different perspective and a sharper humour has now unveiled Hello new world you won’t get me down just watch this beast unravel Taking the good with the bad and filtering through the ugly A different ship to now set sail, get ready for this could get choppy But as I say and always repeat, life goes on its just how you take it This second chance given to me a bit lower down, but still determined to make it, Hey Mr Wheelchair.

I kiss upon your petals, You kiss upon my scars, If our love should be guarded, Should we not both be guards? You dissect me viciously, I take you as you are. I kiss you and say sorry that I'm breaking us apart. God, I'm so ******* stupid. The fellow you fancy is a figment of a feeble imagination. An egotistical ****** with a heart of stone only pierced by your daggered eyes. I wanted woefully to be that one for your love once. I stood through senseless scrimmages to earn your satisfaction. I played that part unceasingly seeking your acceptance. But nevermore shall my strings be debauched by the pain of your plucking. No longer shall I participate in pretending to be the man you make again.

Self Recompense
Just like Eminem, I'm not afraid to take a stand If that is what it would take to make you comprehend That this adulation spawns me to be mettlesome I was impatient to wait for the time,so I purchased a new watch our time has come Been in many debauched rapports All resulted a faux pas because I invested less effort Not rueful, but from this juncture I prospect to be more perfect I'm not afraid To take a stand If that is what it would take to make you comprehend I was improvident but I'm devising to be provident I was impatient but I'm outlining to be patient I am stubborn but I'm willing to be adamant You said I'm indelicate I'm willing to be decent I'm not afraid To take a stand If that is what it would take to make you understand That I'm for you and only you I'm executed from dishonesty, I take an oath to be true I'm not afraid To take a stand Even if that is what will make you understand That I love you and only you...

I'm Not Afraid
Staggering explosions of venom-laden light In a world of darkness constructed by man Debauched genius and greed tainted sight In second blinding rays of silver filled the skies Trillions of once living humans lay dead Empty warm footprints were life once led Gray piles of ash on radiation kissed the ground The species ended Beating hearts unbound It was not the first bombed dropped Nor the cause of their fall Or the second That followed When Azrael began to call The third The Destroyer slowly seeping life The fourth Spreading it fiendish tentacles Created from evil and lies The fifth Came in waves of poison rippled sound The sixth Was death cold sister come to hover round But came the seventh In clap of thunder None now left to worship In awe and wonder The seal had been opened The convent broken between God and man   The punishment foretold Revealed in the blood of the lamb @Tammy M.

The Seventh Bomb
She steps into the room, Timidity and grace; Innocence and caution synchronized. She feels you watching her And quickly turns away- But it's too late, She's been defiled by your eyes. She's just another pretty girl On whom to feast your eyes- Another helpless victim to your gaze. It doesn't matter what she wears, It doesn't matter what she hides- The second you set eyes on her, She becomes your latest prey. A slave to your senses, You mother ******* perv! I hate you and all your twisted ways. A ******* of duplicity- A ravenous, worthless curr- Twisted in your soul And ****** up in your brain! 'Cause you've got X-ray vision, And you **** her with your mind; Defile her with your very gaze. You strip her down and play with her, Debauched within your mind; Violated, objectified, debased.

*Spawn from the darkness with venomous tongue, spewing mystery, enchantment, delight. Lurker of shadows destroyer of dreams, coward weaving your lies in the night. A desolate heart a lost, wounded soul, your dark radar sensing new prey. Debauched voice crying out come to me, i'll set you free, another soul murdered this day. Coward of the shadows cloaked in deceit, always outside of their sight. Honesty torments you truth your opposer, your demise awaits in the light.*

Deceiver
ginko soft they pile, strewn on cobble memories themselves concretely devised cloister inward, revise, revise, revise: debauched meanderings fully marble escapes to curl the lip, adorable here and there, whether smile sneer incise linguistic pirouettes or paler lies congest that wisdom indefinable -- the moment past moves on to feigning truth with pretty rhyme, for ornamenting time with myths to filter in an Avalon, juggle perspectival paradoxic ruth with fine meter fine, vernacular chimes, and resolve the conflict like a dawn

clarity rejoins its titulars (little Petrarchan song)
You know that in the silence there is a volume of sound, A whisper of the decadent falling to the ground, Their jewels and their poise, The china faces and steady stances crumbling to the floor of marble like broken toys, A weeping victim now laughs at the corrupt as they fail, Their alibis and cover-lies aren't fit for humans now. They collapsed under the weight of deceit, that decadent class, Of champagne flutes and crystal glass, Now standard thrift-shop plastic beakers, Stalking 'round in second hand sneakers, No noise from the debauched, not a sound of relevance, The bliss of watching it unfold, the descent of decadence.

The Aftermath of Injustice In Memory of Neil Aggett 1953 - 1982 You crossed the border to offer your expertise To render a service to a people without a voice A people in hell To a nation stripped naked by gross injustice Like a tree with no leaves Stripped bare in autumn Left with no shade from the scorching sun The fruits had all been stolen by wicked men Devoured by the debauched in khaki attire Swollen and puffed with pride like pastry in an oven They took you captive like Jesus once was Punished for doing good Until your heart cried out with an inner voice Why the whips and chains Wet and cold electrified feet You knew then ... You wouldn't get out alive Your passing cruelly induced To end your life ... Your only relief Like a whisper in a crowd Who would hear your cry Of course the papers had to say He did it himself ... He did it his way Oh how I wish I was invisible There in your cell of hell To name and shame the faces Who unjustly got saved by the bell Written by Sean Achilleos 25 January 2019© Additional: In this life it may seem that there are people who get away with almost anything and everything. And perhaps they do. However, only in this lifetime. But sadly not in the life thereafter. Like an alarm bell that breaks the deathly silence early in the morning. It's not what you want to hear, but a necessary truth.

SHAME ON YOU
I can remember when I left you, No. When I saved you, No. When I condemned you. When you offered me your heart and your lust and I took them into my own and cursed myself with the role of a lover. I accepted the gift but at least I felt conflicted. Enough so to soon see that giving you joy meant denying what I am. I am nothing but contradictions. A hypocrite with a most debauched nature. While I wished for nothing more than the red of your petals, So too did I wish to lay with the weeds. Much closer to my own kind, like me they choke the beauty from flowers. Only with a little less love in their grasp. So I shifted from you and in poetic spirals of ink I set you free. At least that's how I saw it. But now I realise just how much damage a week with me is worth. Your eyes look dimmer. A layer of spite and tears stop me seeing any further than that. Your petals didn't fall but they certainly faded. What was red became black, A hell I never wished for you, And I can only pray that your shade is much more superficial than mines. I hope it will wash clean and reveal a purer white than a spotless bride. But that's just a dream. Hearts are easy to see when they're worn on ones sleeve, And I've changed hers for the worse. A fate I had not foreseen and now she can't even see me. Everything I once admired has drifted from her face. But it's been replaced by perfection of a different sort. Had this been clear to me I could have hid who I was. It would have been worth it. Just to leave her as she was. If I confront her will she pour this new life into me and be as she should be? Or will I leave her in the same void of pain and passion I found myself in? I swore to watch over those left behind on the path to bliss, But not those I dragged back myself. If only I could send her back on the path. Another letter perhaps. Dear Rose. I love you. I'm so, so sorry...

I speak in tongues of men and angels, I speak as a man that knows the angles. I rhyme truth melodically, with my methodology, my words convicting you this is no mythology. And as tides of tithes flood our church like Jordan, the lives of lies, my tongue has shortened. So let's ask the Ghost of the Most-High, high above I, to bless this mission, this mission of mine. (Are you sold? Are you inspired? By this sorcerer peddling his strange fire? Are you scared? Are you mired? By the weight of this second-rate evil-inspired rant that can't won't couldn't shouldn't be found profound by us when by Christ it wouldn't? The "broken bonds" of this sounding gong are just more chains, just empty song) I've loved, lived, lost! (But burned the cross.) I've spoke and swayed! (At disastrous cost.) I've sung the hymns! (So did the Devil) Filled our church with gold! (The softest metal.) I fought back the dark! (But it left it's mark) Laid all at the altar! (That's still awaiting a spark) I witnessed to the street! (On a weak foundation.) Was given the the finest things! (And moth and rust will take them.) (It was never about what he could do, what glory can God take when who is seen is you? His “my’s” and “I’s” can’t save the lost, his “my’s” and “I’s” put Him on the Cross! Man can only save what gold can buy, and in the end owns nothing but gilded lies. You've seen his path, and where it leads. Do you see now that it's from you you're freed? Not debt, not pain, not loss or strife, but the crushing weight of your debauched life? The Son will not impart what this man asks, for to leave you the world is not His task. For we are born, but do not live, until we surrender that which was not ours to give.)

Wealthy, by dint of lucky birth lavish, by way of early learning, the boy's body grows, but his mind does not, and with all things merely given he himself is given to taking all desired things without a second thought Profligate in action, manner, and style his brash displays of excess appear to him congenial acts of tempered moderation his slavish hedonism, blinds him to the folly of his ways, like a child with an insatiable sweet tooth and the keys to a candy shop he peruses the town in ritualistic fashion night after night, sowing seeds of   licentious desire which bloom into Devil's Trumpets of debauched indulgence one drink then another one line then another one pill then another one conquest then another attained in rapid succession pursued with reckless abandon awakening in a different bed each afternoon sun beams piercing the blinds stinging his weary eyes his temples throbbing his vision spinning his stomach churning his desire remaining the void within him imploring: “ENDURE” but soon he discovers his well of fortune has finally run dry the repressed knowledge of this inevitability descends upon him like a Biblical plague his cards decline his key refuses to open its door and the doors of his conquests slam in his face and so the destitute rake stumbles pitifully without aim with body aching with knees weakened with ears ringing with hands trembling with vision blurred with fear and doubt mocking his every step the concrete corridors once so exuberant now appear to him as moribund and desolate graveyards for the senses the neon banshees which once broadcast their sultry siren songs like choirs of cherubs heavenly and divine now sound to him like the tortured screams of the ****** rising up to haunt his dreams the emptiness remains echoing his every tortured thought: "who am I?" "what have I become?" "why am I here?" "what was it all for?" awash in the tumult of the dark night of the soul, the handsome stranger's limbs give out from beneath him, and his mind collapses into deep and dreamless sleep whose countenance mimics the final embrace of death For him, they are one in the same, and of deaths, this will be the first of many for he has but yet begun to learn.
