"insincerity" poems
Skin blushed peach on snow white cheeks Luster and grandeur not seen by the meek Intrinsically dominant furnace of femininity Dither and hither be stricken for insincerity If you try to speak to her expect less then levity To your advances she implies depravity Blatantly ignorant vacuous blond ***** Tell me again how I hate you and want ***

feminist extremists or did you even know the equal rights movement was never ratified?
The idiocy, Sheer insincerity Of political apologies. It WAS meant to offend. You chose the words carefully. A dog's-whistle in your mouthpiece. Your career is your priority. You are a glorified carnival barker, With a reputation as an intellect, But many do detect ******** in your overblown prose (except those who are equally verbose). Will your papa be disappointed If you are never to be anointed? Your education makes being PM a career choice, So power for it's own sake should really be a piece of cake. So how about it, Boris? Will we hear more Horace? How much do you want it? Enough to blow your own Trumpette?

He Wants To Be Prime Minister Because He Can
One is seemingly more impressed by the less endowed or blessed when somewhat incapacitated and borderline inebriated; the monstrous unconscious disregards the likelihood of fathomless undergarments in other dubious departments. Disregard the random blotches or the involuntary discharges instead revel in model tonsils and almond shaped parcels the comets of multi-notches like a strange attraction for disheveled carpets. The blossoms of toxins a libation ensemble almost near horizontal each movement a bent nozzle like a prehistoric Narwhal dancing like a jackhammer with the elegance of a cement mixer a broken leaking fissure seeping vapid glamour and indecipherable grammar. The paraphrased clichés and communiques of praise like lost prophets put on display caught in the ricochet of overplay making an exit with the grace of a stumbling ballet down a poorly-lit nightclub passageway. Ultimately this can only lead to the face-plant moment-of-tomorrow the flooded memory of the-night-before feeling utterly spent hungover and hollow with ill conceived consent. The: Oh. My. God! The: ***** is still here, what do I say? Hoping inexorably they would just get up and silently fade away. Beer Goggles: remember to drink sensibly, or run the risk of nasty STD's or unwanted pregnancy or breathless infidelity or reckless insincerity or if you're really lucky, just another session in therapy.

Beer Goggles
Aye, Vladimir, just before I met thee I hath been sure I hath loved him- no matter as queer as it may hath seemed! Thou knowest not, how much tears I hath shredded and noticest not, how t'eir vanity made me look dead! But why-why then didst thou appear- and wokest within me t'is secret fear- with understanding in thy eyes, and with a love t'at is to me so dear. Why-why t'en thou left me, left me again! Whenst I got to knowest thou but for a moment, ah, with not so much of an endearment- afforded ourselves only t'at streak of lovely, but still weak of too a bond, or any pact, of young novelty. And everything was corrupt As soon as thou re-released me into t'ese qualms of insincerity wherest I am still tossed about, guilty. And hushed, hushed always, like a trivial, parallel wind! As though my dear heart's bathed in sin and of a soul t'at is so thin So worthy not of thy soulfulness and sweet dreams of many happinesses. Ah, Vladimir! If only thou could knowest T'is thread of passion thou hath sowed and how my entirety seekest being loved By thee, and only by thee, o my rain! As thou art but king to my sneaky moon and my very own kingdom of stars Not him-not him, o t'is I entreat, albeit his wits hath been but to me so sweet. Still he be a mistake, ah, a chilly autumn mistake to me, from whom I didst just turn awake. Probably thou would hath loved me; imperishably and blindingly, until all thy superb charms and wit t'at wert but tortured and unbending shalt be left within me lit; and thus leaving our fiery souls entwined with winds t'at art even sweeter yet might be torturously everlasting. Vladimir, Vladimir, oh my only Vladimir! Thou altogether belongst with me; here, so unjustly yet heavenly And in our hands is cherished our love, o, so wickedly-but fatefully! How I longst to be thy lover, dearest- and be so comely as thy only flower; which ripens thickly in thy winter and blooms robustly, in thy summer.

A patriotic fervor producing fealty A noble cause compelling loyalty Paired with a callous indignity Brash enlistee plunges toward destiny Honor's badge worn with impunity Duty's moniker embossed with magnanimity Insatiable bloodlust quelshing all insecurity Unbridled ego clamoring a garrulous enmity Toward the villains who shattered blithe serenity First skirmish, pageantry displaced by gravity Mettle varnished with aura of invincibility First battle, fallen comrades question mortality Successive battles, severed limbs, caustic wounds challenge credulity Fragile mind being conditioned to atrocity War's heavy mantle now shorn of indemnity Threatening mind's sanity, hearth's perpetuity Once faceless foes now scream their humanity Once noble leaders brim with insincerity Supportive countrymen now fickle, distant entity Cheering press now rank with duplicity Only solace, hardened comrades equanimity

If “I love you” Was a burden, Would you still Eagerly return it? If “I hate you” Was a warning Would you still Say it so easily? “I mean it, really I do.” Then why is it filled With insincerity? A joke, A bluff, It always is. But do you Weigh The meaning Of the words you spit?

Oh, fuming teardrop! You’ve boiled over from wrath and anger, leaving painful blisters as you sear the heart Why you don’t evaporate is a wonder but there must be a valid reason… If only to let the heart know it lives Oh, fuming teardrop! Will you ever learn how to forgive? Oh, defiant teardrop! Teetering on the edge and glistening, refusing to fall to make yourself known It is not fickle mindedness playing, rather, a power play of emotions a blatant refusal to show what’s within Oh, defiant teardrop! Why even stop yourself before you begin? Oh, crocodile teardrop! If you were truly so, slink back shamefully, recede to your lacrimal gland and stay put There is no need for your insincerity, the world is chaotic as it is, too troubled Fall not, trickle not, trick not who see you Oh, crocodile teardrop! How can you be so heartless to fool people so true? Oh, pensive teardrop! How gracefully you streak down window sills Wash away grime and grit, cleanse everything Flow unhindered, purify hearts you fill Laughter may be the music of the soul, but you are pure— the distilled spirit Oh, pensive teardrop! Will you course down blackened hearts, pay a visit? Oh, jubilant teardrop! Married to laughter, frolic and dance to its tune Give birth to hope then soar with elation Brighten faces, sparkle days, light up the moon Let souls remember that you speak of pain, joy Let them remember, then allow them to heal Oh, jubilant teardrop! Why did I ever doubt that you are spirit revealed?

*if only I knew how to love... for my Victoria winces-grimaces, that these words even leave my fingertips, reminiscences, a chrome bookmark tab full of decades of near misses, instances, subway sideway stolen daily glances of she who would be the only, the one, but one day failed to appear, left to dream peer, and/or decades long of romanced lasses, flying spectacular super crashes, when my heart-blanched, lanced, and the lawyers danced, poems shriveled as dried ink crack'd and words rusted shut, cut by so many p'raps, and ugly motives, beautiful covered up, disguised as synapses of sin and insincerity, and I, the sad man, both the sinner and the sinned against, totalities, of shoulda-woulda-asked/kissed-her-gallantly, activities, when kisses were doorways to trap door rooms and an over decorated monte cristo prison cell ah well the 'and yet,' the 'but for,' a single finger, sealing silenced lips, passions mourned and irrevocable sensations, frittered, fractured, all that I calmly called love was sprigs and broken branches, cut flowers destined to shrivel, not of what I believed in, something akin to a tree rooted, an oaken strong unbreakable love of this certain, all approximations, all failed incantations, for surely, if but only one escaped, could have been saved, and if truthful love it was, I would have known it, for would I have dared to let slip away?

if only I knew how to love
SUFFERING was a word invented by a man with a silver spoon and fork, with a nice brain that matched their junk a brain that didn’t whisper i love yous in the middle of the night when you’re trying just to get some sleep but your mind echoes self-love where you can’t get it. and that word is whispered to the back of my head to the front of my chest inbetween my thighs like maybe you’ll make a difference if you express sympathy for a body, just a body that oozes what you would call misfortune. but i am not your headline; people like me are not your story, you put me down with black ink on white paper and your dichotomy echoes the insincerity in your sincerity the way you cannot understand that when you put transgender or gay you expect it to mean tragedy. i am not your tragedy **** do not chain me to a stereotype i am not “your trans* friend,” a unicorn that has been trapped and ****** of silver blood, my ****** chains me to a history of hostility and scars that i have risen ABOVE. i see your face fall when i say my body is beautiful, and hear your hitching breath when i tell you i am just like you a being with a body who is trying to see the glory in mismatched parts imperfect scars and i am not SUFFERING i grabbed the word from the dictionary and shoved it down your throat.

i'm sorry, that must be so hard for you
I dont know any cool pickup lines, I stole them from TV Hey baby do you have the time? You just walked away from me Im not cool or smooth And I'm not slick And I need to think of something quick He didnt write for you, that punk rock love song, He stole it from the Byrds He just changed the chords And never bothered to learn the words But he's got you hooked Your pulse Is racing You know that hes a traitor He's a one-track trouble maker And he's rotten company But he's got you in his sights You're going home with him tonight Another loveless casualty He keeps you coming back for more but now Hes into someone new He changed the locks on both my doors So I guess that means we're through But baby dont go, He isn't home And I'm waiting I know that he's a traitor A true master debater Such sincere insincerity Without hesitation Standing in ovation to Your perfect symmetry We'd take it slow But we both know He's waiting You know that hes a traitor Silver tounged negotiator And he's plotting mutiny You dont know him quite like I do Once he's had his way, he'll leave you To a taxi company And he's immune to my handy remedy, Just come inside, he asks persuadingly But you, you're thinking of me Just spend the night We'll work it out Tomorrow You know that hes a traitor He's a one-track trouble maker And he's rotten company But he's got you in his sights You're going home with him tonight Another loveless casualty That little ******* part of me

Little *******
My brain is knotted to my head with ties I should unravel. I guess it doesn’t do me any good to sit and think. And in my dreams I’m in a boat and then the current makes it sink and blood just pours into the ocean til I’m left with feeling weak and these thoughts burn inside me deeper than the comfort that I seek. It’s all a waste and what’s the point if I would let my findings go
 if it meant I’d see the outline of my sharp and brittle bones? Clinging to every song I hear to search it for a kind of purpose I could try to find a God to show me all this isn’t worthless. Perhaps there was a word you said that made me keep on crawling past the people who have told me I should focus on my calling. Or perhaps it was a word you never stuck around to say and I am left here on my own to try to seize these god **** days. My mind is a machine creating thoughts that are contrived and they can see the insincerity that’s dripping from my eyes.

Brain
I wear baggy clothes so that I can feel skinnier. I reread all of the notes I've saved almost every night. I write really loopy because it's hard for me to let go. I close my eyes and imagine things, constantly. I paint with black because colors are too interesting. I rub my face when I'm stressed, or I claw at my skin. I wear my hair over my face so I can't see people staring. I hate liquid eyeliner, insincerity, and pomegranates. I love being in the rain because it stings, cleans, drenches. I want to either die young or marry young, always have. I try to walk everywhere I go so I can lose more weight. I wish I remembered how to be happy.

I, i, I
Preach your colourful knowledge of me, From a jaw that could hold nothing more than a faint whisper of insincerity And a flailing bird tangled on your tongue. But when the rainbow bursts; Don't attempt to rain materialism down on me Stuff your grocery store heart shaped chocolates up your nose. And stop dreaming up all the sadness I stand for. I am not your fixer-upper-er. I am whole, trust me, The serpent rejoins once cut And heals. I am a serpent, rainbow and colourless. Materialistic seduction... Give me a minute while I puke fluro ***** on your shoe, You are the needy one and I remain whole...   Scuffed and cracked I am healing, alone. But I am whole.   Mixing strings of blues, greens and pinks Into one strand, There are scars.

Serpent.
Life begins. A simple beginning, That quickly blackens, And fills with lies. Insincerities fly. Mother tries and tries, But father dies And the world corrupts my eyes. *** and violence and filth disguise Themselves Like spies. Insincerities fly. Several birthdays pass, A great relief: They do not last. Candles burn and blister, Trying to erase and cover The grief. People thanking, People wishing, People praying, All for my Wellbeing. Insincerities fly. Out on my own, Meeting new people, Still somehow alone. A door opens and closes. A necktie Adorns my clothes. “Hello, Hello.” Insincerities fly. My father’s tombstone, My mothers Aching, breaking bones, A lack of numbness. Sadness. The ringing of a door, The knocking of a visitor. Sickness. A doctor. Pills and plugs and prying, All with A false reply. Insincerities fly. Everyday, without fail.  Insincerity.  People saying hello and goodbye. People are born and people are dead.  At each occasion they say “I'm well” and they say “I'm fine.”  They say “good day” and “thanks.”   Insinceritas

Insincerity
Sliding lies tracing convincing paths down her cheeks Never do they fall when they should in times of pain or times of suffering Only do they fall in times of dishonesty or times of treachery When did it become this way? In a forgotten past they fell for scraped knees and they fell for broken toys and they fell for innocence In an unwanted present they fall for deception and they fall for insincerity and they don't fall for innocence lost In an unforeseeable future they will fall for remorse and they will fall for guilt and they will fall for regret Why did it become that way? For now there is no guilt and remorse couldn't be farther than the stars So she continues to let them fall those tiny sliding lies that no one ever questions And she knows one day someone will and they will ask her How did you become this way?

What they really are
Allow me to be bold- brave prying eyes and bare all. Allow me to tamper with excommunication- to tempt ostracism- to tease trouble by talking of taboos... speaking of shushed subjects- oh, society's little secrets, the ones we're all willing to share. Allow me to expound on the lessons parents never wanted to teach- the lessons children are so eager to learn. The very act- the very word- that induces giggles, inspires poets, excites lovers, and makes or breaks "true bliss." "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns." -V.N *** a word constructed of three of the twenty-six letters that make the English language go round. On their own, quite harmless, but collectively- a jaw-dropping, blush-inspiring, shush-provoking combination. *** the ultimate caricature of love and all that is romantic- oh, just look at this tangle of thorns. Tangled- because we have turned the beauty into a beast- taken "the two will become one"- and rationalized- two will always be two- Not you, me or me, you. No, nothing bad can come of this. *** used to make lies beautiful and truth obscured. Sold in society- the promoter of skin- condemned in the church- discouraged as sin. All the while, teenagers are toppling around- neck deep in lust- desperate to be loved- fumbling- tumbling into the open arms of the ultimate outlet. *** a shallow solution to a deeper problem- a gift given, unwrapped, re-wrapped, and given again. Allow me to attempt to untangle these thorns- when does making love become wrong? When it makes heroes into harlots and turns the righteous into romantics- when it complicates the uncomplicated? When it manipulates insincerity to seem sincere- liberates itself from simple mathematics, why, the more the merrier, and forgets three's a crowd? Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, allow me to be ridiculed- expose myself as a hypocrite and define: It is when *** is misconstrued as a mere act of "love" that it becomes a crime.

"How can I disappoint you tonight?," masked as, "Come over." Scene: a small bed in a quaint room with a jaded girl and her delusions of grandeur. She wears a mask of rose colored glasses, and with this mask she pursues finer intentions with the purest of intentions. She views request for company as the chance to entice someone to join her tea party, where she serves optimism with a heavy dose of patience. "Patience. In Due Time." The mask causes her to no longer recognize the masks that graze the faces of those in front of her. What happens when you favor the mask over the suitor? She's fed lies, she'll go back for seconds, because their taste on her tongue makes her forget about their stain on her heart. We all have our masks. Some of us will wear them day in and day out, unaware that others might be allergic to their particular brand of insincerity. Others, like her, will struggle with removing theirs for fear of what lies beneath being exposed. But if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, how are we supposed to perceive true beauty if we're looking through a mask, rose colored glasses or not? She will view things better than they are. Others will view things worse than they are. If we can remove the mask, if we can focus on something other than ourselves, or if we can stop allowing the world to let us believe we constantly need to give more, if we can finally see life the true way it's meant to be seen, we might just allow ourselves to find what we're looking for.

I can't help but doubt you or Your loyalty My heart clutched by fear Insecurely, I worry that I'm not enough. Insincerely, you assure me, No need to think so much My mind is on fire The Pressure is creeping. Slowly but surely gripping my throat It has left me breathless and blue.

Insecurely Crippled By Insincerity
There is insincerity in my electric praise, regardless of response I drip cool pools of soft cloth on floor and utter abstruse succulent phrases. Even with all this, I am insipid in lending lip service to *** I absently inhale acrid smoke because I never pretended to be a hermetic socialite- because it is a socially acceptable form of self hatred. Obsessive animality has become disinterested sexuality, I have done anything ever asking "what then?" and everything done: has me **** in the eyes of men. Gleaming ideals of girl on girl, feverish licking, slick sweat dripping and all this boredom: the initiated subjects of whoredom come undone with the gripping of slippery moans and now lay soiled in sheets where hearts beat fast, striving hard, deep in keeping the motions of man. We are stripping off flakes of soft humanity, which we feed each other to watch it melt on the tongue. So very unlike writing, *** is hard wired, it needn't be learned- only practiced with intent for perfection and when the edges bleed together within the edacious mind, all is bared unclothing only sloven swine. The truth is: I only deal with shadows and align them in a malignant play of poetic puppetry. I outline a silver coated tongue seen to deliver elaborate loquacious lies, I **** deep at cultural control and I huff full lungs of the social soul.

A Parody of the Modern Pretense.
Artificial, superficial Smiles, laughs and riddles. All riddles. Anything out of your mouth, Through your eyes, Through those hands Filling me with doubt. Can I have something good? Am I allowed to? This race course that I've jumped into I've sped up way too fast. Slow down crash. Speed up crash. Artificial, superficial, Why did I ask you to let down your hair? I look up and I see someone foreign Claiming that if I climb I'd get closer to her? Right... Your smile foreboding Your eyes beady Open your mouth Flickering fork so needy Right.. Artificial, Insincerity in that 'interested' gaze Superficial, Those lips stretched wide Plastered on your face It only makes sense that when you laugh I don't give a sh Right. Artificial... Superficial... That's all you'll ever seem, In my eyes.

i am the sum of my worst parts. i am best friends with my loathing, i dress all my nightmares in sheep's clothing. i tell my mother they're friends of mine, i tell my mother i am fine. we were terrible actors but, god, were we good at memorizing the lines. but we both know that nothing’s worse than insincerity. i think i was so lost i couldn’t stand being found. it was all i knew, my old paint under the new. you know what it’s like, you get stuck in a sadness so sweet you almost mistake it for something you deserve. you become comfortable. it’s a process, cut my losses relapsed back into my sadness and all my bad habits, begging you to lick the wine and water off my lips, the way you grip my hips, just press me down into the sheets until i don’t exist. we wrote an album full anthems and we couldn’t carry a **** tune. you’re just a big bleeding heart, an open wound of a person and everybody loves you and everybody hates you like the radio hit that made their favorite band big. so this is for all the times you were told to bite your tongue but you were so tired of bleeding. this is for all the times you opened your mouth but never spoke. this is for all the times you talked to fill the air but never really said anything. you are what you think. you are what you say. you are what you do. but, maybe most importantly, you are what you don’t do. because what if icarus had been cautious? what if icarus had never left the ground? i guess one way to love somebody is when they're never around, and i guess there’s people like that; those who only want to hear songs they’ve already heard. there’s people like that, those who don’t want to learn anything that they don’t already know. there’s people like that, those who don’t like to question things. science and god sit at the dinner table as lovers. they say their vows in verse, in a thousand different languages. neither of them have the whole story, but together, i’m told sometimes they make a lot of sense. science and god sit at the dinner table as equals. art and wonder and the human spirit are their children. love may be a myth, but it’s my favorite one. we do not age at the dinner table we do not know hate at the dinner table we spit bullets and grow flowers into vases. we knock elbows, and argue, and love, and reconcile, and praise. we spill wine not blood. we do not know hate at the dinner table. and i find, at the dinner table, seated between past and present between heart-ache and hopefulness between glory and insignificance i am not so lonely.

these words are not apologetic; they don't believe in lying since words are merely tools to flavor our blatant insincerity these pens are not for writing; rather, they are used for dismantling the nib from the tube of color to be sliced up into confetti by knives— where the ink spills like dark blood these poems are not for reading; but for recording your feelings in riddles that no one else but you can understand, and relate to— words coded in more words, or in between lines with the invisible ink of the mind and memory these paragraphs are not sarcastic; more of subtle reminders to you that perhaps you should have cared about me a little bit more than the dust collecting on the top shelves of your forgotten library, while your pocket empties itself on new volumes of books with repetitive story plots, my own diminishing in the sea of your curiosity - - -

subtlety
december is so cold and his story is untold so when he lets his heart unfold it's much too easy he's nearly blinded by her beautiful diamonds they almost remind him of a lost memory the sparkle in her eyes is a mere disguise he believes all the lies he falls so quickly and suddenly he's yelling save me, save me i've made a mistake i was crazy, crazy and the whole thing was fake somebody save me, save me 'cause i lost everything trying to save myself. april is so blurry rain day, he's in a hurry eyes on fire, fueled by fury; now he can't see so it's no surprise when her beautiful diamonds catch his eye again and persuade him to be free but the smile on her face doesn't have a single trace of insincerity or disgrace and he falls so quickly and suddenly he's yelling save me, save me i've made a mistake i was crazy, crazy and the whole thing was fake somebody save me, save me 'cause i lost everything trying to save myself. december is so cold and it's such a pity that his story was told because he fell for the beauty so quickly, so suddenly, so quietly. he can barely say save me, save me 'cause he made too many mistakes he was crazy, crazy and every kiss was a fake he whispers save me, save me now he's lost everything trying to save himself; what a shame.
