"naysayer" poems
O Tulip Tree,
Towering titan true,
A fond memory I have
Of splendorous ventures long ago!
O Tulip Tree,
Timid and taciturn,
I remember when you,
Paragon of the forest,
Stood tall with power
And eclipsed the noontime sun!
O Tulip Tree,
Tallest tree that be,
I recall when you,
Pillar of perfection,
Were as mammoth in my youth
As you are this day!
O Tulip Tree,
Tremendous yet tender king,
I pray for you,
Noble giant,
That envious naysayer
And usurper alike
Stay their distance
From your domain!
And when the hour is nigh,
O Tulip Tree,
I shall stand tall with pride
Between these vile fiends
As you taught me to long ago!

Plead on naysayer
Like the pride of a mouth breather
Calloused like the fringe of a broken guard rail
You're sharp, and your halfwit isn't enough to keep a light lit
But you're clever and you're under my skin with your blood *****
Have you gotten close enough to check my pulse yet?
Tell me what it says, I'm sure it's morse code for something
Because It's been speaking to me in languages I've never heard of, but based on the hurt I've taken bets
Risky guesses better then what the wind lets
If I let go it'd take me back to limbo
Where the rats and the people scurry all the same, it'd take me somewhere, I don't know
I've let you pull me apart to climb inside to take a tour of my heart
To let you punch me so hard, something on the other side would come out as a show of art
Like a line of blow to the nose, the rows of the pews awe align
To make a sound so hurtful, not even your father would turn to give an eye
Embarrassed I let you tear me apart, just because I wanted to know what was inside
I can't say a word, but two, and all they are is good bye

To sleep, my mind impounded,
My heartbeats, bass, lowly-sounded,
Each beat, a note upon mine ticking meter.
An unfamiliar feminine voice, not hers, poses,
Questioning noises, issued from a blackened figure.
This human-shaped metronome,
A singular inquisitor,
In rhythm, but not in rhyme,
Gravely announces repeatedly,
T'is your time, t'is your time,
Each pronouncement,
Spoken n'spiked distinctly:
*"Your prose now ended,
last-gentled sweetly."*
Wondering still, is it just sleep or truly death,
This forlorn eve, to go, to meet and greet,
Without having said my finale prayer.
Unprepared, thus with unaccustomed flair,
"Unfair" doth me protest, a newly-minted naysayer,
My book incomplete, black-brother frere!
If death indeed you be, my fellow cloaked-rider,
Then make me a one-last-time composer.
Let me whisper once more inside her,
A last poem of the greatest brevity,
But of the greatest import, laden heavy!
Good bye, my love, goodbye....
This closing writ, my finest ever...

Time to stop judging
Best to confess
Hiding behind your SOS
Feelings of others you ignore
Drama and chaos you adore
With your moralistic writes
Acerbic word fights
Sarcastic bites...
Why can't you be nice?
Instead, you play the part fully
As the intellectual bully
Disregarding the tears
Throwing misspelled word spears
Wielding grammar hammers
Pouncing when someone stammers
Hey, Bro! Don't you even know
What time it is?
Time to stop judging
Best to confess
Hiding behind your SOS
Feelings of others you ignore
Drama and chaos you adore
With your moralistic writes
Acerbic word fights
Sarcastic bites...
Why can't you be nice?
You say you're a godly player
But you're really a Sibboleth slayer,
An ill will conveyor,
Grand total naysayer,
Once you went away but then came back
Unbelievable, you're even more whack!
Hey, Bro! Don't you really know
What time it is?
Time to stop judging
Best to confess
Hiding behind your SOS
Feelings of others you ignore
Drama and chaos you adore
With your moralistic writes
Acerbic word fights
Sarcastic bites...
Why can't you be nice?
TONEY OUT - BOOM!

HEY.!!!Yes
Do.you think I really give a ****
Do you think so.
Press the valve stem please.
Your head has gone all twisted.
Much more to life than Napoleon's cocked hat,and pocket billiards.
Little curl mid forehead.
You are nanite's sigh below expired. Really ?.
Take it in.stride my friend. See Naysayer for hire in the funny papers.
Place him behind you to the right
To keep away.the vapours

This isn’t so much giving up
As it is the shedding of weight
He kneels down in a bedroom that isn’t his
He sleeps on borrowed furniture
Elbows on the edge of a twin bed
He wishes there was a body there
Any body
There are some things he needs to let go
There is always going to be a girl with your heart
And your veins wrapped around her fingers
Curling up her arms
Like vines on a trellis
Let her go
He knows that being good looking is 20 percent physical
The rest is all you
Sometimes weird things make him sad
That’s cool
Anything your body does without your permission
Is natural
You’re human
Get over it
Get over
The cancerous residuals
And the fear of silence
Between two people
When all you want to do is stare
Stare if you want to
Be charming
He knows he can be charming
If he smiles right
If remembers to be honest
Be honest with me
Lonely boy
Fearful stranger to self
Little lover of the things that get left behind
Admire the broken patchwork of your poetry
You are not a naysayer
You are a yes man
Yes
Hesitant kisses
Yes
Knee buckle trembles
Yes
Loving with the lights on
With the fire burning
Say yes to the breaking
You are not being broken
You are refining your badly built artwork
Molding your eyes less somber
Do not be somber sweet child
Stand like gravity is your slave
Bow down to nothing
Unless you want to
There are some things that require kneeling
Your knees are sacred
Use them only to make things better
To show honor
To shed weight
He knows this is not giving up
As much as it is shedding enough weight
So he can stand again

There you go, breaking my heart,
There you go, tearing me apart.
Accusing me of an uncommitted sin,
Celebrating,over me, your imaginary win.
With a whole heart, I had loved you,
We were always one, now you separated us in two.
You ousted me from your heart, saying the love was an illusion ,
Were you speaking of the same love, which was once unconditional?
There you go. leaving me alone,
There you go, reasons now unknown.
Without uttering a word from your lips,
Leaving me to bear the silence's whips.
Breaking the first rule of our love, the trust in it,
There , on the mighty throne of betrayal, you sit.
And you assume yourself as the one who was betrayed,
By the lady who made you her everything, the lady, whom you now degrade.
There you go, without any answers,
There you go, changing into a naysayer.
Releasing me , at last , of our shared love,
Of all the sadness, smiles, hope and woes.

Are you bored with yourself?
Too much free time, it seems
Judgmental joker, you!
Thinking of your agonized dreams
Don't you wish that just one time
You had a pleasant thought
Really trying oh so hard
Break free of the web which you're caught
Insignificant details blur your view
Try to see the rest
Forget about what you think is best
And feel what others deem as true
In time you will grow up
Til then, go on and on and on
With your contradicting faceless qualm
And realize before the storm is calm
Probably a warning -
Quit before you end up mourning
The loss of yourself
Taken off a pedestal and put instead on a shelf

Precipice hanging
Red rock dwellings
Hiding under the sandpine desert
Freeing me in the process
Tribal seeking
Falcon knowledge to leadeth me down road highway
Noones way
But the freeway
Riding the cool gypsie wave
Moral decay hath abounded me
With the naysayer's and no bringers
Wolves cometh by swarms
Mastered by scorn
They scorn another with boiling hot heat....
Trampling feet..
Dance to their own tune,
No rhythm and blues
But jazz gone punk!!!!
Raccoon turned skunks
On lonesome highway to hell...

Confectionery amour', quiet peaceful girl, flower haired gem
Whilst we maketh love to the old spinning record, eyes content;
The moon to leadeth ourn feet, bathed in chocolate fountain,
We prance as freely Galloper's, thither the desert, cool mountain
ii
I'll meeteth thee at the playground, inked in ourn red blotch,
No ticking tumultuous hand, to ruin ourn plan's, none to watch;
A private invitation, a rosey petal to surrender thine oath and vow, a seeded rightful city, conversation open and aroused
iii
Charlatan's to be naysayer's, exactly as the rest hath becometh,
Ourn cloak's to be as spiritual coat's, dashing in none repugnance
The waterside to be ourn resting residence, the pasture plain's to awaken ourn brain's, as we shalt be marksmen of lass and lad.

Within the realm of circumstance
You are a slave
To occurrences, a victim
Of probability,
A naysayer to God,
You speak prayers to chance,
Live thanklessly, not counting
The billions
Of tiny blessings, ignorant
To the little miracles,
Raindrops on pavement,
The soundtrack
In your all-seeing eyes, accidental,
A statistic, a probability,
As a blind man getting soaked,
Wanders home,
Happy for the shower,
Anticipating dry clothes,
Smells smoke,
And he knows,
A hundred percent certain,
Eight blocks before he arrives
At the front door
Blocked off by red trucks and news reporters,
That the fire is his own,
And he is thankful
For the symphony,
Grateful for his bones,
Glad this occured (it's all in the plan,
NOTHING happens at random)
And he never stops,
Smiling
Because he knows he's not alone

If you only ever get a glance at one shot at fiery heaven laughter
don't just sit there on your *** thinking now isn't the right time
time is relative so all you have is now
right now
so crack a naysayer in their pearly yellows
because walking around zombified through fields of green and seas of brown
is only one razor blade away from suicide
and I don't want to be insensitive
(yes I do)
but if you walk along the easy road you'll find only cowards
get the hell up
put some ******* pace in your step
drink a gallon of gasoline,
eat a match,
and explode
it's the only way they'll ever see you

My father who art in heaven
May he be also a masterpiece
Like eleven
May my main man also join the skies
That part the seas like milky lights.
May my man bring with him me
As a tourist of the nightlife.
Wife me up and hold me tight
Like the stars cling onto the duly skies.
May my main man be the mainest of them all
Sure a little mean isn’t bad at all
Nay he never become a Mayfair sayer
Or a naysayer to his wife’s call.
Today I call upon thee
To help me free fall.
Tall and fully
In love with you truly
You are my one and only all.

Before I left today, I looked in the mirror.
It wasn’t a look of admiration
It was a look of fear
Do I look good enough today?
I asked before I walked out the door.
I don’t what to say
I’ve done this before
I’m saddened that I have to do this.
I’m always afraid there is one flaw that I’ll miss.
Society is so twisted
The problems with it are too numerous to even be listed.
We complain that the skinny girls are too tiny
And that the big girls need to lose some weight
We’ve all been taught that we have to hate.
I despise having to look in the mirror and worry about what to wear
Or how to fix my hair
I’m the same person whether I’m wearing makeup or not.
But without it I worry about all the disgusted glances I’ll be shot.
No one ever worries about what’s within
We only care about judging who’s too thin,
Or who’s got the double chin.
The definition of beauty is up to us.
Before we become a naysayer
We should break through to the inner layer
It’s our decision
We all just need to realize that we need to adjust our vision.

Here's to the untouched,
the naysayer virgins,
the believers, dreamers and bright eye beamers.
The poets with clouds in their shoes
Walking on gusts of autumn airs.
Humming the tune of a new idea
And sparking the wick of inspiration.
Here's to the inventors,
the birthers of thought
the can dos, will dos and get er dones
Brains in their pencils, cascading onto the page,
Blueprints blotting out
Black splotches in their lives.
Heres to the musicians,
The beat makers,
The Chance takers, love makers and feeling creators
Chanting the tune of tolerance,
Singing the ugly untouched image
Composing the stuff of life.
Heres to the artists,
The men and women
Still starry eyed with wonder,
The backbone of humanity.
Heres to you.

dont denigrate the naysayer
for saying what he sees
while you may not believe your eyes
belief is not to be believed
nothing real needs proving
but everything real can be
there is no need for blind devotion
when with your eyes open you simply see

Negative people with naysaying notions
are sad and unhappy with themselves.
they suffer inside with sorrow.
When we look beyond their pain,
we see strong roots of fear;
the fear of not being loved,
of being disrespected.
To them, the world is a dangerous place.
How can we best deal with their despondency?
We start by responding with kindheartedness
We take responsibility for our own happiness.
We manifest and role model positivity.
As we practice these behaviors, we obtain humility.
That we find it difficult to deal with others’ negativity
suggests there is a seed of reluctance within us.
Realizing that we must accept our own skepticism,
We are free to gain the understanding and compassion
we need to create emotional maturity.

Our forever is built on,
A temporary palace,
With paper-thin walls,
Our bed a foam mattress.
Our forever is sprawled across,
The stained carpeted floor,
Beneath our ***** laundry,
Messes we choose to ignore.
Our forever is cracked into,
Every omelet and French toast,
Served with a glass of cold juice,
And kisses on the nose.
Our forever is written on,
Every inch of your midnight skin,
Each stubble and razor bump like Braille,
A love language I've never seen.
Our forever is tested,
By time zones and distance,
Will our palace walls crumble,
Or stand in defiance?
Our forever is put on trial,
By people who shouldn't bother,
A xenophobic aunt,
And an uncle who's a pastor.
Our forever is cursed,
By a father's daily prayer,
Wrapped in his own infidelity,
The quiet naysayer.
Our forever is assembled,
From sticks and stones hurled at us,
Will it endure hurricanes and haters,
Or is it just a temporary palace?

What is my pride?
I'm a Baha'i, I study math and physics, and I study
martial arts.
Then this is where people may hurt me the most.
They will make my dimension into a lie,
contradict what I know so well.
A shove or a push, even a slap or hit only affects my body.
Hurting my feelings by making me feel unloved, that
is only my mammalian brain.
But defying my reason and insight - this is where I am
most weak.
To call my religion a plan of the Illuminati,
by calling my science untrue,
by saying I don't know anything of martial arts.
This is where the ego of the world now dwells:
within the reasoning mind.
This is where my testing will take place:
letting go of knowledge
to meet the words of the naysayer.
I will take your words and
transform them into love.
Then I will wait until I find a companion
heart, to tell my truth to.

really what you might call an experiment, for one thing
the hypothesis was missing and I was the control
and the dependent variable, and by now by deduction
you see, you have delimited my experiment,
you negative naysayer you doomseeker you pessimist
the lone variable is when

People never listen
to me.
Because they know
the truth.
That I've grown
to be
a naysayer and
truth bringer.
True honesty is
honestly
not something they're
used to.
So if you don't
want to
hear what I have
to say,
then please, please
never ask me
what I'd do.

Life is precious.
It should be cherished.
But before being a naysayer about certain life's events off decision.
Question them, and then stay reminded of certain things.
Many hate abortion.
Then cry about talking care of unwanted children.
And a few cries about scriptures of God.
As if, they are that loving spiritual force.
All laws aren't obeyed.
Especially by the preachers that preach and politicals or the ministers.
But they love advising women on abortions.
When will men learn to leave a decision to that woman.

I’ll never break a record,
Nor lay claim to first prize,
But still I try to wow the crowd,
And not be who they despise.
I’ll never be a hero,
Nor lead the winning team,
But still I fight for all I have,
And dare at least to dream.
I’ll never own an island,
Nor claim an ancient throne,
But still I feel a richer man,
And treasure love I’ve known.
I’ll never cure a malady,
Nor stop the world’s decay,
But still I know I’ve done some good,
And helped in my own way.
I’ll never be a movie star,
Nor run for City Mayor,
But still I strive to be someone,
And silence each naysayer.
I’ll never climb Mount Everest,
Nor fight in some great war,
But still I hope to make my mark,
And live forever more.
