"deviously" poems
Large ****** deformity Like seeing desperate Leeches ******* dirt lightly, Smoothly, dumped lazily down south Little saddened devils lurched suddenly desperate Lakes silently draw leukemia symbols Launched dangerously spiteful. Lust doesn’t stop liking steady destruction Literally souls die loudly. So? Dumb lives salvage deceit. Lying smart distributors lure sabotage deviously Lord, sometimes deeper love spawns damaged life softly dead. Listlessly.

Experiment
It just takes a heartbeat. You are brought into this world Shaking and crying Confused and lost Awake and aware Unable to speak Barely breathing Eyes wide with innocence Pure as sunlight Screaming from the pain And your mother Collapsed in agony Suddenly detached From her first born Relieved yet bitter Nostalgic and anxious Her precious child With nothing more Than a pulse, A heartbeat, And wide eyes Revealing the universe With every blink And you grew up so fast Too fast, she claims As you watch the home movies together Over popcorn And cigarettes And the pixels expose How you waddled through the weeds Speaking in tongues And gibberish And you fell down But you never cried You look over And your mother is passed out On the old tattered couch Slowly, mechanically, you rise And sneak out the front door Delicately and deviously Alone and brave Unaware that the youth Are far from invincible Your pal Trevor meets you A block down Blasting that punk rock **** Because your mother hates it And secretly, so do you And in a heartbeat You're in his front seat Screaming about the world And how ****** It all is Trev smiles sadistically Passing you a **** Of something sweet To take all your troubles away And suddenly You're flying Down the highway With your arm out the window A wing spread Your heart bursts You grow up so fast And suddenly You don't hate the world at all But it's far too late You look over And Trevor is passed out In his old, beat up Chevy Gracefully, rapidly, you rise And ascend up to the pearly gates Tragically and disturbingly Alone and afraid Suddenly aware that the youth Are far from invincible And your mother gets the call Four in the morning Distraught and confused Suddenly the words pieced together And she lost her baby To this cruel, ****** up place. She screams. And sobs. You were taken from this world Shaking and crying Confused and lost Awake and aware Unable to speak Barely breathing Eyes wide with innocence Pure as sunlight Screaming from the pain It just takes a heartbeat.

In a Heartbeat

the mighty may fall, but the weak fall faster. in this world of thieves and killers, to stand your ground means to cut them down. there is no hope for the frail of mind, the deviously cunning are all that survive. stand up and fight! i cannot help you now! countless times i have slain for you, laying to rest those that would do you harm, but its your turn now. i have done all i could to shield you, but the world will no longer allow my protection. it is throwing you into the pit with nothing but the knowledge i provided you with. as i watch with worried eyes, you stand on shaking legs, aware that to win this battle, you cannot fight fair, and your first defeat will be your last. only the hard survive in this cutthroat kingdom, where your castle becomes your tomb if you are not quick enough to defend it. i watch determination replace your fear as you remember my words and face your demons, striking them down one by one, gaining confidence with each swing of your sword. you understand now... i am gone, you must fight where i have failed, while i watch from above.. hoping ill see you soon yet praying that i wont. death was my final defeat.. now you must fight.

Fight
It was a night of music softly playing, listlessly upon the bed I was laying, Lying awake with toss and turns without subtle hints of a snore… And whilst this time my eyes did wander, avoiding the lids they should be under, Suddenly as I was under, under the spell of consciousness I could not ignore… “No, this cannot be,” I whispered, “this insomnia I cannot ignore; Awake I lied, sleeping never more. The clock soon read the 30th minute of two, and it was now that I knew As I stares bleakly to the scuffled patterns of my feet on the carpet floor, I tried to rise up from bed in hopes to gain; fatigue made that attempt in vain. My eyes wrought forth tears from burning pain, the nightly air made them sore… The darkness of the night air now silent but dry has left them burning sore, Craving the sleep that comes never more. My blanket held the rustling of my body so violently tussling In anger—such anger that the blanket had suddenly tore; And so now I laid there, with fluff of stuffing my blanket was ‘bleeding’, “I fear that this must be the sleep I’ll crave, yet ignore, For it seems odd this craving my body would so deviously ignore." Still awake I lied, craving sleep ever more. Restless I turned to my side, when then my eyes grew joyously wide, “I had forgotten,” said I. “Cure for restless sleep, this bottle does implore"; Unfortunately, I took some previously- the limit to such an aid is a pity, And the clock had struck three, three hours I am forced to ignore, "Oh, the sleep that I needed…” I mourned softly on the time I had to ignore. “I want sleep and nothing more!” All the time I laid staring, the darkness faded, the sun now glaring; Forcing a retreat of the darkness covering the scuffled patterns on the carpet floor. A dawn’s glow shined with brilliance, against my eyes so red and resilient, The sleep, once again a night of rest I craved for my body, so weary and sore, For the sake of my eyesight now the sun’s gleam had made ever so sore “Sigh, ‘tis another fortnight I sleep never more.” © 2011

Sleep Never More (An Insomniatic Parody of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven”)
It was a night of music softly playing, listlessly upon the bed I was laying, Lying awake with toss and turns without subtle hints of a snore… And whilst this time my eyes did wander, avoiding the lids they should be under, Suddenly as I was under, under the spell of consciousness I could not ignore… “No, this cannot be,” I whispered, “this insomnia I cannot ignore; Awake I lied, sleeping never more.

also morpheus, thou who art dusted leaves tremulous portraits plaintive angels creaking pinions, wasted paint clanging fatly unskinny corpulent boughs spread deviously; rip carefully sanity: a flagrant splendorous nymph hard arithmatic chime softly a dull pepper in my head: mostly cobwebs and fluff punished grinning skulls my teeths are clean and the smooth hollow of thoughts is a pillow budding dream laid crinkled masterpiece and fill it morpheus with your excellent meat

also morpheus,
The silence it deafens me with violence they threaten me to carry me off to an asylum unless I can provide them with an ulterior motive till I hand in my notice relinquish the chains upon my bed the fiendish brain inside my head deviously plotting my own demise take leave from this place to warmer tides bathe my body beneath calmer skies naked like the day I drew breath naked as I stare upon death one hand holding a crooked scythe the other beckoning to me, my life did you forget to count the die? or forgo the countless lies that made the Countess cry neither man nor mystery could change her path so it's left to me to rearrange the past jigsaw pieces scattered upon my pillow connecting dots to draw the willow who could forget the weeping widow that cried herself to sleep.

(the mystery of) The Weeping Widow
If, as they say, the cells of the body are replaced every seven years, then I'm a new being since my sons were newborn. I have died and been reborn neither better nor worse yet remembering feeding them while dancing to Moment's Notice, as they attended with new minds. Having died, as such, I find I do not mind quiet living with the purpose of a cell unbound by minutes or moments as men know them. There are seven deadly sins, seven ways of remembering, seven stages in which to have been or continue being. None of them recur after one's reborn and none are known to us from before we're born. Of the two young people to whom I was born, one has lately died. I do not so much mind. Although I do not, he believed he'd be reborn and who can say what happened to his soul or cells? Perhaps in Christ we continue being, or with some other deity, as the churches claim monotonously,       momentously, demonically and deviously. It seems about as relevant that       seven rhymes with heaven and rhyming's a mnemonic device (for       remembering). But remembering what? To go to the daily discipline to which you were born? I fought seven forest fires, took seven lovers, my sons are seven, and my mind is the sole owner and subsidiary of these memories and       moments. Unless I am to be reborn they disappear with me. Masefield's poem continues to be the most honest and chilling assessment of our souls' and cells' disbursement. I can imagine stem cell research may lead to a cure for dementia, loss of memory about who you are and where you've been. If one's not been born this doesn't matter. But if you're being reborn, in the sense of "he not busy being born is busy being reborn"       (Dylan), then it is best and most correct to consider your last moment of a continuum with moments endless and entirely in your       mind. The mind is made of cells and moments, seven billion of them. Remember to be born and reborn, early and often.

In walks One, So it begins with Primal desire! On stumbles Two, And Heaven and Hell brutally conspire! Here comes Three, Bow down to the Holy Man! Standing in the corner is Four, My Love constantly alters his contour! Lying outstretched is Five, All his senses irrevocably combined! That precise symmetry is Six, What Luck his Lady must bring! The Sinister player is Seven, Deviously uniting mortality and divinity! Nose in the air is Eight, His Perfection won’t dare be disregarded! Out walks Nine, His destination distinctly Eternity! And here I stand, curiously observing the scene, Figuring life is nothing but Numerical Folly!

Numerical Folly
You didn’t tell me you were stopping by; yet you appeared so suddenly like the rain does in early April. We don’t say much although we want to; what I really want to ask is: why are you here? I stifle a laugh as I realize there is nothing to be said. There is nothing ever to be said, especially after twisting my branches off of my decaying stump deviously deciding to lay them out before me, pointing at them and laughing before running away like a child who has done something naughty. I shake my head watching you run sadly watching my dying leaves fall to the ground oh so wishing you hadn’t done that. I could kick myself wishing you would come back with a sheepish look on your face trying to put the branches back into place. They would never go back of course, but it’s the thought that always counts right? Your voice suddenly snaps me out of the past: "I just wanted to see you." I bite the inside of my cheek raw bitter metallic blood oddly soothes my taste buds; a morbid distraction at best. Still silence fills the air; creaking of the floor boards is all we hear. I really look at you this time: look at that! beads of sweat appears! are you as anxious as I? Oh cruel excitement, we meet again! A slight devilish smile escapes me, I cannot help it. "The door is behind you," I say and point. Be gone, let me grow again.

Demagogues of our society; daftly delivering disarming delusions of decrepit delights. Dealing in powder, rock and liquid death, demurely doled out in droves to the willing unconscious, dysfunctional deviants of the land. Blindly offering devotions, flaccid devotions to plastic, white collar deities; giving new definition to internal deformity, through decelerated dejection. Desperate and emotionally dismembered, defrauded by quick, cheap decadence, debauchery, and mental decay in many deliriously delicious forms...pick a flavor, name your poison! Delegate your defect, as those with doctoral degrees in defunct traditions do deviously delineate their demented designs...for our future. DejaVu? Perhaps, but in fact, it is we who sniff, inject and drink up their drivel, decidedly and dutifully depleted of intellect by way of dubious data. Duplicitous dullards...sanitize and deodorize their fiendish lies...as we, WE do nothing! Not enough of us dumbfounded or dumbstruck by their deceitful smiles. Full of dread and deep dismay, by the statutes of the day...I, for one, will dream of better days, when we shall defeat these diabolical demons. But for now, down beaten, downtrodden; we will continue to be denigrated for the duration. Clever dissection; dumb as they want you to be, disparity of all creativity...individuality... and all of your rights...controversially. Our disgruntled displeasure doomed...to fall on dormant hearts...and we, debilitated and daunted, lives dismantled, are now forever haunted, by our freedoms demise...by days we could question their smiling lies. Demagogues; Big Brother...such delinquents dosing up the masses with a deluge of powder, rock sedation and liquid elation...pick your flavor, name your poison. At the end of the day WE are ONE...duped, defaced, defeated...and to continue on this road, our final denouement will come disturbingly disguised...as DEATH! -by Mercurychyld Copyrights

Golden sun on golden hair The kind of girl you can follow By the trail of broken hearts And promises of passion Fashionable fury Magnificent monster Devouring life Devoted to lust Desiring love In my head I saw the cohort Of lovers, past, present and future Walking meekly by Cherishing the whole lot From first eye contact To first touch And even the crush The smack on the head That useless feeling of feeling useless It’s hard not to make the same mistake Even in a place so mundane As you set a place like this Ferociously on fire Burning and battering Heat and heart Mesmerizing mess Deviously destructing The girl at the bus station Promising a journey you’ll regret And a morning after to forget Sentimental slur Like only a fool could feel Heading in heart first Ending up endangered Feelings rearranged Promises kept The girl at the bus station You know she’ll break your heart And still you get aboard Because life’s too short Not to give in to sin Sensual sacrificing Dare to wear your heart On a sleeve Only to have it thrown away So she transformed From the girl at the bus station Into the girl from that one memory Of that horrible movie And that passionate play Hoping that it all Proves to be a prequel Of the story of a lifetime About a girl at the bus station And a fool who came to stay

The girl at the bus station
I kissed those lips so many times, I held you as you caressed me to your will, heat's rising between the two of us & I'm becoming intoxicated by your lustful glares- As you stare deep into my eyes while you deviously - lavishly lick & **** betwixt my legs... Pulsations consuming my very thoughts I was to be the one to ****** once I finished my seductive belly dance... You've surpassed me - grabbing my dancers gear, ripping fabric as you feverishly kissed my gaping- shocked "wide open" mouth. Sweet ecstasy's taking over every part of my being. Your tantalizing tongue   teasing in and out of me as I spread wider for you..... I rant the silence  with lustful passionate screams as wave after seductive  waves pulsate through me all the way to my toes. I'm hurting in a good way as you climb up over me slowly so wondrously slow you enter me, moving deeper ummm deeeeeperrrr..... I feel Oh YESSSS............... I  come wake sadly it's only a dream!

Poets pls help/add to this poem & C how it ends"if it ever do"
Genuine conversations were passion's static overblown through classical lover's eyes. i. Confessing unrevealed tries in variation with grieving cries. Sighs and moans were touched and savored everyday, at the same place. ii. Unexpected completions were deviously divulged over The temptress' despair, while cardboard arrogance compressed within aluminum kisses. iii. Chemical liquids were drawing attention, fingertips quivering at the sight of your eyes. Palpable tension cutting through the styrofoam walls, that we gently established to separate this sweet seduction. iv. Demolition began once playful vengeance intervened. No longer did the requiem delay its flow and crunch, for its succulent grin was painted on his chest and carried on his hands. v. Cards were drawn to encaustic wax papers, captivating lover's delight. With sudden frustration, we searched evanescently, for a piece of carton to hide from the fiery rains. vi. While puzzled Questionnaires were imprinted on catatonic embraces, we both gnawed on the bone for answers; barking gently at our feet, we tangled with uncompromising pretenses, giving ourselves multiple aberrations with heartbreaking waves. Tonight I cuddle the thorns and the knives, contemplating lethargic affections, infected with veracity's confection, ignoring the ideal that I fell unfulfilled.

How does it feel to lose yourself, To feel yourself oozing through your pores and pouring into a shell? These restless nights are deviously common, My eyes have gone dry, no more bawling. I lay here and wonder how did I miss the dead end, Why did I sprint so purposely with no message to send? These days you feel ashamed of the right, proud of the wrong. My thoughts race, there's no time to process them, I don't think they belong.. I swear I try my hardest to make you all proud, I gave up, it's hard when you feel all alone in a crowd. These people don't deserve me, you, us. You and I confide in them and they ruin our non-resilient trust. When you're alone, who's there to disappointment and vice versa? Who's there to make you feel small and destroy ya?

12/15/2017 Maybe a woman. Definitely not a lady. Always fluid, everchanging Transient, human, waxing and waning Dust to dust, the earth is waiting Skin deviously separating Lips and eyes and breath recreating the truth Impermanence, interrelationships between the two of you Between the hundreds of thousands of beings surrounding and breathing with you Being with you Being me Being this inexorable mix of light and twisted, my fight is rising, round 2 has been gifted Moving, shifting, intermixed Lifting my voice to try to fix the never-ending brokenness The ******* hoes, the tokenness My ecosystem intertwined Roots supporting, climbing vines, climbing high Rise and rise, the end is nigh, lest we fight this beast beside These children fighting over limbs Ripping flesh and slicing skin Removing organs from the breathing earth within Ive spoken this truth before But from a shattered soul I speak now from a podium Breathing deep and whole

Breathing Deep and Whole
On his lonely boat In an ocean filled with broken fish Swimming Surviving at the depths Waiting to be rescued The fisherman waits Patiently Examining the fish below Waiting for his time To use words of kindness and care In the form of a hidden agenda These lost fish Desperate to find light in their darkness They spot a sparkle at the end of his line They observe the beauty and go to that glimmer The goodness the fisherman is showing They bite into his masked perception And realize they are getting reeled In disbelief as they get hooked closer He snaps! The bait out of their mouth This kind fisherman now owns them As they live in his bucket Among other young fish Controlled by him He, who loves to play games with their fragile minds To feel powerful and whole As he feeds them weakness Deviously devouring their soul Piece by piece Until only their skeleton remains. One managed to escape his asylum.   As he casted his line Back in the blue of hope She watched his lines Filled with glitter Nearing another How does she warn the lost fish in her sea? © Jl 2016

The Masked Fisherman
I have many nice jars, All sparkling in a row on my shelf, Lined up like the books above them, Each kept safely out of harm’s way, With no intentions on returning them, These jars are not mine, These jars have been stolen, The culprit- none other than I, Deviously I took one by one, Thinking the glass would always sparkle and thrive, My collection started scarce, It then began to grow, For my shelf would be quickly filled, “This one looks good” I thought, As I received my very first jar, Until things went amiss, I hurried to gather more, Greedily I thought, “Maybe this one will do, Ah, Indeed it looks better”, However, this one was also askew, My desire sought out another, My shelf was slowly losing space, I stepped back to take a look, At all my pretty jars I’d obtained, All neatly row by row, I was terribly shocked, When I realized what I’d done, Each jar was filled with precious life, Still pumping it’s fresh, red blood, I had plundered so many, Brought them destruction and strife, I had bought out each one of their jars, At any risky price, I felt so sad for all those jars, Wishing I could give them back, And panic set in when I scanned the shelves, And could not find my own, The jar that had my name on it, With a gold, glittery pen, Was nowhere to be found, And I ‘d give anything for my jar, If it only could be done.

We Gather Jars
One head Watches over me, covered in scales of plenty Like a slimy sea Licking my own fate Two heads Engulf the air and circle the ground Looking for something not found A flammable screeching sound Masks the rush of my heart rate Three heads Prevent me from moving on Like foxes trying to con Hoping that what I search for is gone. They deviously begin to mate. Six heads Barricade like thick cement Keeping me in tryin to prevent Any and all things I present Then with a promise, I sedate. One heart I aim for straight away Noiselessly I stop and stay Silencing voices I have let stray My own victory I now can create.

It was I suppose, Her pencil skirt that did me in. Never trust a man, Who says otherwise.   It was I suppose, His chiseled chest that did her through. Never trust a woman, Who makes you believe otherwise. For all his intelligence, All her enamour. All their dreamy thoughts, That bloom like spring meadowed flowers. What we see first, Both spikes and hairfalls. Is the beauty of the body, The perfection that we've been taught. We're the imperfect victims, Of a perfectly perpetuated society. Taught to tread carefully, Through the blurred lines deviously disguised. We are taught to love, By the love lost loner. We are told to be tolerate, By the taunted jilted moaner. Ooh fickle life, what a sullen lie. Ooh hopeless future, Defeated before you even tried.

Be strong, oh weathered anchor Of a mind adrift at sea Hold firm this home on murky depths As familiar waves lap hungrily Cry not, oh weathered anchor Of a mind adrift at sea As glimpses of a life once known Ebbs and morphs deviously Fear not, oh weathered anchor Of a mind adrift at sea The fight to grasp what once was known Tattered image drips menacingly Let go, dear weathered anchor Of this mind adrift at sea Slip gently asunder the past now lost Unbound from memories, floating free.

To lose, perchance to gain
There was time when I dreamed of a better life, when I wanted to stop the world & melt with you. And for a time, we did. I would get all caught up in the moments we spent teaching each other the finer intimate things we liked to do with each other. When you hiked your skirt up like that, you'd laugh deviously & I would go berserk in a good way. Funny, how you always knew it would. You wore those high heels & that silky lace. The look you got on your pretty-face when we reached that finer place is forever etched in my mind. There's no way I could ever forget what you did to me, where you sent me inside you. I miss you terribly. I ain't no cry baby, but the world is spinning again & I'm not laughing now.

I Ain't No Cry Baby (But, The World is Spinning Again)
A cold and pitiless wind moves among us, A current of current rising from epochs old. Can we sleep serenely and without fear when Amid stirrings of horse's hoofs he smiles? Beneath primordial moons deviously does plot, Time is of no value, eternity has evolved. Without the ticking sound of the life's clock, Snorting Arabian steed's anxious for the fight. Poised on every shore, peering into windows, O, so stealthy, when at last the moon has hid. And the tide washes up, deposits combatants, They come, by air, luxury liner, banana boat. By the soles of their feet, souls of their God, Like residue from a growing, fanatical storm. What blood moves through these warriors, Which provokes bloodlust as easily as a smile? He is there, over there, here too, right here, Where the children are at play with yesterday's Values, yesterday's view, yesterday's excitement? When the tongue and eyes of the ancient ones Speak softly, gazing upon the long awaited prize. The thundering of million's of hoofs let loose, Neighing a battle cry to the dead, silent old ones. And we, well we go about our business of sanity, Thinking we are good, we are clean, we laugh. Calmly we do leave the doors and the windows Ajar for our visitors who are now neighbors, To finish the ancient martyr's settling of scores. ©April 26, 2004 / Jerry Pat Bolton

A Cold and Pitiless Wind
Your wedding gown still sits in my closet. I refuse to touch it. The last time I did, it was sliding off of your fragile frame. You seemed so happy in that moment. Everything seemed so… Perfect. The lights were on, and you didn’t care. You smiled at me, so deviously, Because you already knew You would be giving that smile to someone else less than a year later.

I think poetry is for the dependent Those who can't strive a day without Constant writing, perpetual recording, meticulous brushstrokes On the painting of a vibrant story Told through heavy language or light yet elegant babble Or perhaps it's truly for the lost Those lacerated and devastated By life's inevitable nature, The deviously maleficent, Or even their own bewildered selves. Still, I look back At the days of unbecoming Horrible ignorance and unprecedented knowledge Proverbial wisdom and undiscerning youthfulness... When life was a default wonder. Poetry had not been my guide Without a pillar I trudged on. Yet! What a horrific period of life! Oh, if only then I had the mystical treasure Of which I certainly possess now I think poetry is for all who appreciate it-- If not, then those who take from it, The insecure, shameful, resentful, narcissistic, far off, logical, illogical, confounded, missing, gothic, dying, feral, lonely, creative, incapable, hopeful, and dead It's our universal language In times of hope or death
