"lummox" poems - Hello Poetry

The way the whiskey flows makes fools of us all, especially the soft hearted and hollow eyed. I drink for the times I felt like as if I mattered, we get drunk because we know it was never true. 24 and nothing much left. Just time to waste until darkness drinks me up. I am but a silly lummox, lost within myself. Braving the endless crystal seas, I laugh despite an absence of any joke. I am the captain of a beautiful ship, stuck inside a bottle. Built painstakingly just for me.

Captain

The way the whiskey flows makes fools of us all, especially the soft hearted and hollow eyed. I drink for the times I felt like as if I mattered, we get drunk because we know it was never true. 24 and nothing much left. Just time to waste until darkness drinks me up. I am but a silly lummox, lost within myself. Braving the endless crystal seas, I laugh despite an absence of any joke. I am the captain of a beautiful ship, stuck inside a bottle. Built painstakingly just for me.

Don't you flummox me I'm no lummox No lame ox You tell me right now What you decided Before you even met me. This was no three second conspiracy This was you taking breaths just to breathe No thought of tsunami or the worst that's upon me Just silver gilded lilies and cream.

Pasture, Past You're

Don't you flummox me I'm no lummox No lame ox You tell me right now What you decided Before you even met me. This was no three second conspiracy This was you taking breaths just to breathe No thought of tsunami or the worst that's upon me Just silver gilded lilies and cream.

I survived things I thought were worth fighting for. I survived worse things, so now I'm fighting forward. I survived cursed things, that frightened more. I survived things I fought but been slighted for. I survived having to make ends meet. I survived splashing cause the pool was more than 10 ft. I survived a thrashing & jabbing the ****** concrete. I survived the teeth gnashing cause we ain't have nothing to eat. I survived about at least 4 foreclosures. I survived ignoring doubt, just for closure. I survived things that ended in my own exposure. I survived enduring drought just for full disclosure. I survived being back-stabbed and betrayed by my beloved. I survived being flayed, filleted and flummoxed. I survived being led to the lake by the lazy lummox. I survived both blades and flames in my stomach. I survived dreams where I was falling. I survived falling forward on the path of my calling. I survived calling it quits on the plans of my offing. I survived apples with poisoned pits , that were offered. I survived having to spare shekels and hide. I survived my very own version of Jekyll and Hyde. I survived diluted deities, Ms. Dee Dee and diabetes. I survived debbie downers and debutantes. I survived double doubters and deadly taunts. I survived some double crossings - dealing haunts, I survived tempted tantrums and tethered thoughts. I survived the boondocks and the tricks of the babadook. I survived bad trips and the trips that papa took. I survived self destruction of the 3rd degree. I survived self construction with less debris....

_They claim dreamers cannot be realistic_ _Apparently, you're not realistic if you only believe in your dreams_ _When there's a balance to everything as it seems_ You can have more muscle mass Than Arnold Schwarzenegger. It doesn't mean you have strength of an ox. You can have all the common and book sense in the world combined, if you trip over small matters without thinking bigger than the situation. You can still be a lummox. Why judge a book by it's cover? It's easier to grant permission Than it is to provide forgiveness There's a bit of me in you. There's so much of you, I see in me. The constellations in space, reminds me of connections The plant formations here on earth have in common with elements and creations of nature. You were meant to fly. Why spellbound yourself to the ground? I only want to spread good onto thy neighbor. I leave all in the hands of the holy creator(s) He, she, it. The universe is all. Releasing from the grips of a grudge Can set you free. From dragging you down. This is why I am cautious When I utilize my ability to judge Validate hate, for it feeds the friction There is much to uncover, left undiscovered When you resolve all through being a lover! The world searching desperately, for answers from the Grays. When we are able to see it all in numbers, shapes, in color!
