"inferred" poems
Something I never understand, (but ponder quite a lot) is how boys get away with things that girls simply cannot. A man can boast about his feats, and all pronounce him clever, but a woman is conceited if she speaks of her endeavor. And tell me, why is 'bachelor' a more attractive word than the female term of 'spinster' and the concept that's inferred? It's this gender inequality that renders women shamed by the ****** exploitation for which they're always blamed. Whilst men are given status for the women they've undressed, so after this, please tell me now; which gender has it best?

1279 The Way to know the Bobolink From every other Bird Precisely as the Joy of him— Obliged to be inferred. Of impudent Habiliment Attired to defy, Impertinence subordinate At times to Majesty. Of Sentiments seditious Amenable to Law— As Heresies of Transport Or Puck’s Apostacy. Extrinsic to Attention Too intimate with Joy— He compliments existence Until allured away By Seasons or his Children— Adult and urgent grown— Or unforeseen aggrandizement Or, happily, Renown— By Contrast certifying The Bird of Birds is gone— How nullified the Meadow— Her Sorcerer withdrawn!

The Way to know the Bobolink
1682 Summer begins to have the look Peruser of enchanting Book Reluctantly but sure perceives A gain upon the backward leaves— Autumn begins to be inferred By millinery of the cloud Or deeper color in the shawl That wraps the everlasting hill. The eye begins its avarice A meditation chastens speech Some Dyer of a distant tree Resumes his gaudy industry. Conclusion is the course of All At most to be perennial And then elude stability Recalls to immortality.

A little overflowing word
I saw you on the news again, aiming lies at civilians You work like a serf to abhor the herd, which was merged by Lords to bore and encore, like a trap door in a dungeon. What you earth and managed has got me famished, like the dense or pretentious, the meek and the senseless And type endings to the finest that cry less, the winos that digress, or the shyest who digest The plate which was purchased, paid to feed liars by the loudest were poisoned by us rebels running incense to the proudest. Violently passive when distracted, these masses wreck havoc to have their heads handed to them Sullen sweet to deter, you lure and reserve what is versed or inferred or implied or implored Like the goodbyed or complied or the ladies waiting with lunacy lining their luxury gowns Your disheveled and neat demanding appearance has me locked down with pirates and principle pilots Dulled sick, they spy less, echo with insist, enlist and exist As terrorists and presidents Marked with malice making misfits that were mocked and disgraced, maced or laced by daydreams and magicians to assist beggars behind blueprints constructing islands Which make slaves in to riots that capture journalists under wide tense To suspend or impend doom sent hell bent by your priestess You conduct chaos with fast hints, but quit slow when engaged with your conscience Touched by divine tricks Decided and destined, best in business Prince of the wise man Captain of the compassionate Comrades with the crack heads singing anthems in kingdoms We are heartbreakers painting bad graffiti

Inordinately Exclusive
He put a flint to the lantern once They’d walked across the crest, Were lost in a group of headstones that Lay hidden from the rest, And down in a slight depression he Lit up a certain tomb, Where the name of Elspeth Trelawney Was reflected in the gloom. Trelawney held up the lantern high While Corby held the ***** And Gordon Bracks with an old pick-axe Stood back, he was afraid. ‘I fear the spirits are out tonight In this graveyard of the ****** ‘Get on, and turn up the sod,’ he said, Trelawney forced his hand. The Squire was quiet and ashen-faced As the two had bent their backs, Corby tipping the earth aside Then standing aside for Bracks, ‘The earth is solid, it’s packed right down, We need to pick it loose,’ ‘Just do whatever you have to do, There’s little time to lose!’ The Squire had buried his Elspeth back In eighteen twenty-four, For seven years he had held his grief But he couldn’t take much more, ‘I have to see her again,’ he said, To kiss her pale, dead lips, To stroke the hair on my darling’s head And caress her fingertips.’ She’d taken the coach and four one day Way out in the countryside, The coachman, used to a horse and dray, Had begun to speed the ride, He whipped the horses and lost the reins As the coach began to slide, Tipped the coach in the watercourse Where Elspeth drowned and died. He hadn’t looked at his lover’s face Before she was interred, But tried to avoid the loss of grace In her face that was inferred. ‘I only want to remember her As she was in the flush of life, Not in the throes of death,’ he’d said When talking about his wife. They’d rushed to hurry the burial, On the day that she was found, Popped her into a coffin, then, Planted her in the ground, Trelawney later had agonised That he hadn’t let her lie, ‘I couldn’t bear her to be around,’ He said, with a tearful eye. But now he wanted to see her face, They lifted the coffin lid, While Gordon Bracks had turned his back To see what Trelawney did, The horror showed on the Squire’s face As he gazed into her eyes, For Elspeth lay in a bleak dismay As her fate was realized. Her hands were raised and they looked like claws They’d scratched at the coffin lid, The clumps of hair she had torn right out Was the final thing she did, And on the lid she had scratched his name In the torment of the ****** ‘Trelawney, may you be cursed by God!’ She’d scratched, with her dying hand.

There are no transmissions any more Just long rocking emotions sitting on the front porch of life The skin of our teeth leaves a vacuous hunger for the virginity of thought But the magic inferred leaves nothing but a sunset's ray of goodbye upon the plains of yesterday's regrets

Transmissions
I heard the shot behind the hill, Pausing to log the dull report, Thinking that death - or deaths – unseen Were manifested out of sight, Not mind. Swift shocks of rising birds Spoke of events my mind inferred.   A feathered body writ in flight Spirals into closer view. Fluttering quills, the uttering beak, The watchful eye, the scribing claw. But all of it has come to ground – On the verge, a body, found In dull and heavy silence. This Is not the body I heard shot But an old **** The blood Dried up, the eyes tight shut, Half-open beak eternally Clamp-locked in silent cry.

The Gunshot
Where is it the softness you promised? Behind your ear? In your smile or on the soles of your feet? It was inferred gently in the measure of your words & touch And strangely in your anger Where is the softness I sensed in the half-smile meeting or did you wrap it tightly in your brittle shell of skin?

Softness
Last night was for Linda Crige chanting of love excitement that wakes the sleeping forest. Six rounds *** What is my concern? Nevertheless, uncle is back with Mercy Bukas. Tonight I shall spy through the keyhole. But it was not like yesterday, my eye greeted the ***** of the moment with the intensity of the sun. The night was for conversation! for conversation! "I am pregnant this is the test result, four month and two weeks." Voice seized from close range. My eye gazed uncle's mind, though it was misty.   This must be emblematic of joy I inferred. Pandemonium broke out and silenced the smiling breeze, argument ravaged the air. Uncle denied "It is for Danjuma" Not a muttered curse from the two sides. Ogun and Sango did not awake from their tranquil sleep regardless but Esu was at work. Their curse appalled my heart not once. "Who is at home to settle the rage" but rather the awaken forest was matching closer. "I never promise to marry you" uncle glued my ears with his voice of wiles. Chapter closed. Alas, a child will be born, head for uncle, dark-skinned as Danjuma, others for Alien. An unfortunate child will be born by a promiscuous mother to licentious father only if not a descendant of sewage. Ogun: god if iron Sango: god of thunder Esu: Yoruba name for satan

Through the centuries, ecclesiastical types have called poets deviants and inferred we would burn in Hell for our heresy. I've often wondered what the rhymes of a condemned poet might look like... #1 The serpent got a ***** wrap as well as did the Jews And if you read between the lines you won't believe The news #2 As I'm not a Christian I think it quite odd That I should be punished by a biblical God #3 God the father and his boy appear to find the greatest joy deciding who will sing or fry in pits of Hell or Heaven’s sky Me thinks I’d rather burn in Hell for truth be told I don't sing well Besides in Heaven’s realm I hear they’ve put a ban on wine and beer #4 Scribbled notes on wrinkled pages offer up my rants and rages To the gods both big and small who really don't exist at all #5 Going to Hell is not my intention For Hell I believe is your little invention Ingeniously Crafted for scaring the masses By threatening Flame if they don't kiss your ***** #6 Such a simple happenstance No books to study true No condemning sermons from the everlasting Jew And since His love is only for the chosen and the few I think I'll pass on Sunday Mass I've better things to do #7 Galileo’s castrated brilliance shackled to an empty cross as demonic paramours burn in the city square #8 Rest assured the herd will follow the absurd proclamations’ and the institution's philosophical solution to the daily grind that binds us all to this stalled morality we have mistaken for God #9 'Peace on earth and love thy neighbor' Cried the man with cross and saber Even as he slaughtered millions for the crime of pagan birth #10 Cups and saucers filled with gold but not a cent may we behold for we are not among the few selected by the ancient Jew

As Frost is best conceived
In this world of raging winter The cold is all I know. Seeing how I bare my soul with every breath I blow. Frost is now my only friend as it viciously nips my nose. Sullying my inner child as it tears through inferred clothes. Yet my heart thrives on this endless cold, feeling adept in deaths embrace. Being but the coldest thing In all this frozen place. In this world of raging winter, the cold is all I know. Touched by none, I greedily accept the warm embrace of storms and snow.

Love bite(s) Frost Bite
Writer, Writer, finding stories in every twitch of every eye --- there are no chance encounters here! Coincidence is banned from us, for it does not make good books. Cause-and-effect makes the world go round, thus questions by millions unanswered: why thatword, why that look, and what crucial subtext was inferred by that three-second pause? Does the world work like this, like a well-crafted novel? Are we characters moving to preprescribed endings? In short, I suppose, my question is this: are we Writers so cursed to live in this illusion, or cursed to see how the world actually works?

Your words are painfully beautiful Enough so to make me weep My heart is anything but tender Yet in question, my head spins I'm loosing sleep I want to forget everything It's what i do best Time's never healed so much as a paper cut I turn to herbs to get some rest I continue reading somberly Overthinking every word these poems can't be for me But your heartbreak wasn't absurdly inferred.

PUISSANCE
Cracks like gunshots that ring out like sidewalks that split into streams where weeds will sprout Where lighting meets rolling thunder and the right hand reaches up to grasp at malevolent rock a fissure stemmed from burden expanded to a chasm saturated with charisma splashing over like a full brimmed stout pounded down onto a suede counter sending trembles of fervent thought that jangles like a child's toy rattler banged against stone and span to finally chip away at consistency jarred three hundred and sixty degrees and derived from a number inferred to live as one promptly assuming the form to hold two to ascertain the title "Aunt."

"YOU HAVE A B-" she yelled, "AFTER ALL MY EFFORT?" "I tried my best" I exclaimed," I PUT EFFORT TOO." "NO YOU DIDN'T CAUSE IT IS HARD TO FAIL A GOOD STUDENT." she said increasing the rate of my heart beat as each words escaped from her mouth. "SO MY BEST IF FAILING TO YOU?" I questioned her inferred theory "NO, CAUSE THIS IS NOT YOUR BEST. ALL A's, THAT IS YOUR BEST. THIS... THIS.." she paused and took a deep breathe, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS. YOU BETTER FIX IT. YOU MUST MAKE IT BETTER. MAKE IT MORE THAN YOUR BEST MAKE IT GOOD ENOUGH." "HOW!?" my voice could hardly escape from my throat. "I DON'T KNOW! I DON'T CARE. JUST BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE.... MAKE ME PROUD, MAKE ME HAPPY, MAKE ME SMILE." I'm trying.. I'm trying.

Be good enough
With ever-bounding enthusiasm, an enthralled, elated group of people embarked, Not to visit a vast, vibrant land, but to colonize a capacious continent, Imperial insatiability was inferred upon imagining an inventive future, Latent with lustful leering upon the land, we, yes we, left for liberty. With eyes of fire, souls of greed, arms of thunder, We filched their land, stole their food, killed their eagle, We shattered their culture, scorned their ways, and dared to call them savages, We drenched our freedom-land, with the blood of natives. We are the land of the brave in a prose penned by a poet, Being brave we brutally butchered, under the guise of our liberty, Barbarous is our embellished bravery; reckless is the loss of life, A lost liberty echoes with the laughter of the ghosts of irony. In a ****** battlefield lies dead our liberty, once free, once brave, Imprisoned in a stunning story of sorrow, liberty shall we never know? Freedom foregone is never forgotten, simply a freed freedom, The bravery lost was passed to the savage souls we seized in the name of liberty.

Our Lost Liberty is a Freed Fredom
You’d think us all farmers who toil At this vast fertile soil Tapping each network of roots For the system that bears the best fruits Though this is how we communicate There are better ways to tend Than seeing trees as disposable saplings From which to ****** a date With this smorgasbord of choice, I find We all suffer a tell tale fate Of being plucked from the stem Half-heartedly nibbled upon the rind Then silently thrown upon the rest A wave unable to crest Why not show some purpose on the ranch Consider the date that was once on the branch Instead we hear the same sad song About the forgotten fruit of the palm Condemned without a word Left to their thoughts inferred So maybe farmer’s the wrong term They care for each flower, seedling, and worm Creating darkness and dead air Only leaves one famished and impaired That said, I never hold delusions of hope Thinking thumbs are stiff or broke I’d rather pour myself a glass and toast To all of the liches, nymphs, and ghosts

the blessing of the giver
Down her cheek there rolls a tear Lowered eyes reflect the fear She feels that others see the pain She tries to hide to mask the shame. Shame of what she has become Despite her efforts to succumb To good intentioned, sound advice Delivered at preposterous price. Shame at how the mind deplores Those temperamental personal flaws, Of slights inferred and insults hurled At friend and foe with flag unfurled. Friend and foe who tried to help, Who lowered guard to feel the welt Of verbal horsewhip to the jowl, To violently recoil with howl. Betrayal in its basest form All sympathetic help withdrawn. She furiously stands distraught In isolation’s cold white thought. Down her cheek there rolls a tear Of distain for the eyes that jeer, Direction of the darts of blame From whence no help will come again. Marshalg Collateral damage 4 February 2012
