"tempers" poems
Age and Grace Her steps were always slow; Even in youth she swayed, Walked with sultry composure And seductive flow. Like a heathen goddess, She tempers movement with grace. It was not done out of vanity, But pleasure in the flowing stream of steps That mark her pace. The relaxed fulcrum of her hip Tilts with undulations in the turf; Her feet tread lightly with a claim On the summer fields, On the bending trees Where beauty still abounds.. She savors the trailing of her skirt Through unseen paths in drooping grass. Until the evening mist accrues From out the forest paths Caressing her as she yields, Until she and it are almost one. Like Whistler’s “breath on a pane of glass”, She bargains with nature, Waning to become an aesthetic phantom. She stops at a window and watches With a sad smile, the warm light on life, The laughter, talk and dancing grace Of her children, who don’t yet know The bittersweet taste of withered garlands. Yet she accepts and passes into the dusk. Now she executes a careful, Battement fondu as her hands dip To reach the soaking pods Of next year’s summer flowers. Every move must be planned, To manage every hour. For they are as precious now, As her own days, Fading into glory and reborn, Into spring and youth’s careless riot.

Age and Grace
Shriveled & shrunken. Intoxicated & drunken. Hung over & agitated. Mild to moderate brain activity. Common sense & basic reason lacks mental ability. Bad with money & squanders financial stability. Passing a psychological mental health evaluation not quite. Kept in a straight jacket & sedated in isolation they do spit & bite. They go through everyone's trash day & night. They panhandle at the street lights. They have tempers & pick fights. Nothing they do is legal or right. Slobs with no jobs. They lack work ethics. The sight & stench of them is sick. They're sad story is lies & tricks. Not a truth that sticks. They cuss & their pocked face oozes **** Their frontal lobe is filled with dust. About telling your teacher the truth they get homicidal & make a fuss. They drive a piece of **** car consisting of smog & rust. Getting arrested for 365 × 3 + 2 counts of child **** is never a bust. Keep your children away from drunks. Some drunks get violent, beat you & lock you on a trunk. Most pedofiles & rapists are drinkers. Not religious or moral thinkers. With shingles, hpv virus, ****** & boyles. Zero morals as hideous as an ugly *** gargoyle. Enjoy arguing,  screams & shouts. Daily drunk driving & behind the wheel blackouts.

Innocence Unattended
Under the sheets of emotional armor, A shy little girl masquerades as a martyr. She’s the Queen of Deceit with her lies getting smarter, While every tale told draws her self even farther From finding out why she’s emotionally bothered By all of the men in her life: like her father Who only was trying the best for his daughter And striving to be something more than a pauper But coming up short. Who knows how much harder He’d try if she wasn’t an argument starter? The guilt and the shame from the family slaughter Has made her insane and continues to bar her From finding out just what the world has to offer. Luckily she won’t have to be here much longer; In fairy-tale land, there's nothing can harm her. She suddenly finds herself all alone With nobody’s thoughts to address but her own. This is the time when she’d pick up the phone, Demanding a savior to hear her bemoan About all the problems that she’s ever known, But what she doesn’t know is a friend can’t atone For the lack of a man with his patience to loan To a lost little girl whose bad temper is known. All she needs is a strong one that doesn’t condone All the treacherous lies and the hatred she’s shown. It’s hard to deny all the reaping she’s sewn. She’ll have to tread soft lest her cover is blown And everyone finds out she still hasn’t grown Through the hundreds of tempers and tantrums she’s thrown. Hopefully soon she can bury the bone And calm herself into a nostalgic zone Where smiles and candles were filling her home And love and affection were all that was loaned. Enlightenment comes when you realize you’re prone To the wrath of the heartache that comes with the throne.

That genuine smile of yours delicate and mild, Can soothe senses and tempers gone wild. A raging storm with ease you can calm, That smile of yours is ever so warm. It takes you only a few seconds to flex those ****** muscles, To brighten the days of millions amongst all the hustle, bustle and tussles. Your smile is so priceless and pure, For it all pain one can endure. It’s like the rays from a billion suns shining bright, Dazzling and sparkling like the brightest light. It gives that extra glow to your face, Making everyone’s heart beat race. It’s like the most pricey jewel one could admire, Among millions it could spark a burning desire. Every smile you pass is like a treasure, Making the few lucky, millionaires for sure. But when you frown in the saddest of ways, It’s like the happiness in the world has gone out of gaze. Dark clouds fill the overhead sky, Rain starts pouring as the heavens begin to cry. It’s like the world hits a note so low, Their happiness takes that heavy blow. An empty feeling fills the hearts of those, Who once with your smile happily would rose. So smile because the world smiles with you, Cry and the world sobs with you too. Times may get you down in life, But don't give up the strife. Don't let those pearls from your eyes fall, For someone or something who wasn't worth it after all. So keep smiling day in and day out, And brighten the lives of those you move about...

Smile
In the question of reassurance. The single solemn response cannot always end with one that causes the most anxiety. The involvement of social media, random dm's, the arrangement of severed ties mended with one thing in mind. For these reasons insecurity deepens. Eventually things fall apart. It's not always about opening your mouth. There are other ways to be vocal. Silence becomes deafening. Defeating the purpose of awareness. Tempers quickly raise and often the things that aren't meant to be said come out. Echoing the loudest. Petty arguments, the excuses that lead us into the messages we're quick to hide. Despite how much time we've invested, the easiest thing to do is walk away. Anxiety becoming the fear that pushes us the furthest into ourselves. It's not always easy. Opening up, vocalizing a single woe that begins the journey of a thousand, if not more. If forced, we too begin to shut down and contemplate the single best thing. Being seen as selfish, self-centered. Quick burst that justifies wrongful intent with one that's right. It's all about support. Care & understanding. The saving grace that bonds the realization that either of us are perfect. That there are deeper issues at hand that seep far beyond.  the way we see ourselves, whether we are too big. Too small, the things we find often too late, said behind our back. outside of everything else do you truly understand the quality of reassurance. the equivalent to the moment everything seems to come crashing down. The times any slight movement brings us down the most. Equally we both seek the same. The response reflects the moment. To defy standard and move to something meaningful. At a point, the question deserves an answer. Going in one ear, quickly coming out the other. To vocalize seemingly in one direction unless the role is reversed

Days Will Blur
Solitude is a blessing, forced by a changed mind. Reflection and analysis rule the quiet times, pondering. The feeling of completeness overwhelming, enjoying. Disconnected madness from the daily normal grind. Lost in the maybe, envisioned joy supersedes reality. Euphoric pleasure tempers the momentous soul. Searching to re-establish the understanding of clarity. Heart closes almost reluctantly, unexpected peace returns.

Lust & reflection
Midsummer flutters in on butterfly wings. Softly landing on the corolla leading to the petals. Slow motion has been initiated by summer, people, air, insects and life has slowed. Summer doesn't rush, summer doesn't push. Summer lazes in a haze of shimmering heat. Only tempers get short during long summer nights. Humid hate filled anger disrupts the slow tempo, only to quickly dampen in the humid stultifying night heat. Honeysuckle, jasmine, water lilies and evening primrose, come out and soothe the moonlit summer night. A breeze rises and soothes the weary mind. Summer night blooms, in more ways than one, moonlight shimmers like gossamer threads down onto the flower beds, the flower's fragrance fills the air, soothing, calming, softly, sweetly filling summertime with cruel kindness. Cruelty of heat the kindness of sweet flowers.

Night Blooms
Father is a verb. - Let me explain: Father's Day; and Father Christmas  have tried to convince us, but don't be fooled: You can, may or will father,  depending on your mood. For father is a verb. It only works in the transitive; you can't father alone, only in relationship. It doesn't resent hospital trips, and offers wrap-around comfort when a partnership splits. It's touch-line volume drowns out all rivals. And belly laughs come standard with jokes on recycle. [insert joke here] Yes, father is a verb. It's something we each do, despite the hour, it drives right on through the night when life’s gone sour. It'll hammer ten finger nails to get the job done. It will dance, heedless of decorum forgetting reputation.  It turns manliness into awesome-men-ness, It tempers strength  with a dose of gentleness, yes father is a verb. Be sure, whoever you are,  it works in the singular: I can father; You can father     (I'm not talking *** here;      that takes a partner.) But also,  -  it works in the plural - we can father; and they can father, because, you see, in this village it's an joint activity: we father (and we mother)  collaboratively. It works best in the present tense, happening now, not "LATER!". It can be said in a gentle voice or something - even - quieter; sometimes active: directive, protecting; but often responsive: just sitting, listening; ...holding, and, hugging; it responds to need, you see, but works best proactively, works great  sacrificially. For example,  though it cost him dearly, God Fathers us and through us daily. And one day, suit pressed,  He'll proudly walk  with the bride of Christ. And as Father of the bride,  He'll host the party and blow the price; (- BIGGEST - bar-bill - EVER) And we'll be sure to save at least one dance for Father. Oh yes, you heard, Father is a verb.

We sat, ******* the shreds Of chicken From our teeth, In a cloud of smoke From tempers flared That burned to the quick. The record spun, The needle stuck In the endless Circle groove At the disc's Center, but Neither of us Moved. We didn't change The record, We didn't Shut the Player off. We sat, And watched our Fingers and toes Evaporate. We looked on As the Room dissolved, We made no pleas, Or any noise at all As our world Was erased. In the eggshell light Of our rebirth The seasons passed, With no attention Paid, like Sudanese children, Left to collect sunlight In the pores of their flesh, Are ignored By their God. The air was a sea Of vibrations, Writhing and alive In the periphery Of our perceptions. Do you remember How it felt to Be reconstructed? Cell by cell We came together, Our blood vessels And lymphatic tunnels Wove through Tendrils of bone And wisps of ***** tissue, Our nerves snaked Their way through The jungle of our New-found existence, A supercomputer Materialized within Each of us, And they began Discovering themselves And each other. We had arrived prematurely, And our flames Were snuffed out In the claustrophobic Incubators. Here we now sit, White noise Filling the void, Waiting for Something we'll Never see Come to be, But can't avoid.

--Leather Tomato--
I Our ****** dreams, all seedless in the light, Of light and love the tempers of the heart, Whack their boys' limbs, And, winding-footed in their shawl and sheet, Groom the dark brides, the widows of the night Fold in their arms. The shades of girls, all flavoured from their shrouds, When sunlight goes are sundered from the worm, The bones of men, the broken in their beds, By midnight pulleys that unhouse the tomb. II In this our age the gunman and his moll Two one-dimensional ghosts, love on a reel, Strange to our solid eye, And speak their midnight nothings as they swell; When cameras shut they hurry to their hole down in the yard of day. They dance between their arclamps and our skull, Impose their shots, showing the nights away; We watch the show of shadows kiss or **** Flavoured of celluloid give love the lie. III Which is the world? Of our two sleepings, which Shall fall awake when cures and their itch Raise up this red-eyed earth? Pack off the shapes of daylight and their starch, The sunny gentlemen, the Welshing rich, Or drive the night-geared forth. The photograph is married to the eye, Grafts on its bride one-sided skins of truth; The dream has ****** the sleeper of his faith That shrouded men might marrow as they fly. IV This is the world; the lying likeness of Our strips of stuff that tatter as we move Loving and being loth; The dream that kicks the buried from their sack And lets their trash be honoured as the quick. This is the world. Have faith. For we shall be a shouter like the **** Blowing the old dead back; our shots shall smack The image from the plates; And we shall be fit fellows for a life, And who remains shall flower as they love, Praise to our faring hearts.

In the great scheme of life, many choices you make, Where to work, who to date, your yard when to rake. The game of hearts is not quite the same, Who you love and end up with, is all based on aim. Yes Cupids aim, is sometimes not good, Dam arrow it lands, in many a strange hood. Once per chance the target is hit, They may be charming, attractive and full of wit. Only the lucky lovers get this type of win, The arrow is known to bring pain, shame and sin. Never knowing what's in store for you, Loving arms and a partner that’s true, Or an unfaithful idiot, to make you feel blue. You may think you scored, they look smokin' hot, Having *** day and night, you love them a lot. This sounds pretty awesome, is there a down side? Not unless you count secrets, and the lovers he hides. The girl that finds sales, and will spend all your cash, She goes out on black Friday, doing the fifty yard dash. Coming home the next day, a smile on her face, I saved money here, and there, and this place! What she fails to tell you, is your fresh out of money, Say something about it, she'll resign as your honey. The men are no better, their tempers get hot, Slobs and the lazy, and the ones that smoke *** One time in the game, Cupid seemed to shoot straight, He gave me a lover, to see I couldn’t wait. We had some good times, but the end is the same, Bad excuses, feelings hurt, another to tame. Please freakin' Cupid, have a talk with William Tell, Take an archery lesson, or your bow I will sell. You keep making me fall, for the wrong type of mate, Just want a good friend, not a women to hate. Visit poemsbypaul.com

We both were wrong.”

The Mister
Thai China buzzes because we buzz. It quiets because we quiet. I'm at the end of my stamina, me and you, we've had a few beers; got to talking; and BAM!!!: WE"RE MOROSE. The business crowd goes crazy for some Thai China. The tempers calm over hot bowls of white rice (costing $5) that steam up into hooked noses. Our lips, juicy by now, are so numb that we gave up talking a minute a go. And got into a ***** male mood. We just stare at the girls, the waitresses, wanting to **** them in our nasty dreams. Wanting to stick our ***** in EVERY HOLE, but we just get drunker and drunker and stir over our bowls of rice. The business of business commences; our suppressed urges and office angers dull by the mouthful.

*Not everyone has to go through these struggles Accusations,  lies and broken glass rumbles Tempers that flare Parts eveywhere Yelling and banging The neighbors must stare They wonder how a girl like me could fall for this trick The promises have all made me quite sick Name calling,  ranting,  interrogations and such Have left me to feel like O' quite the 'duck' But it's my history that has left me scarred and flawed One which has come back and opened a door A door for a future that is peaceful and sweet One which I have yet to meet But I'm on the brink, with the knocker in my hand Just about ready to take my final stand Look my history dead in the eye I'm finally ready to get over this high "I'm all grown up now can't you see" Then close the door "Stop ******* with me" It's time to stop repeating the  mistakes of others For the love of god I don't want to be my mother*

knock at the door
The wind is clawing the roof again my love, the screaming passion tearing down the iron, like nails on sensitive flesh. the pain is daring and fresh. Shes pouring under the door now my love, Shes dancing around your feet, watching you and touching you, exciting you and thrilling you. Grab her in that moment my love, hold her in her rapture, held firm in female capture, embrace your wildest nature, then swim in tender tempers all through this september.

tender temper
This house is warm as it retains the suns powerful  rays of heat. Seeds germinate and grow with strength, each planted and nurtured with care from the theraputic gardener within his greenhouse.   But its such a shameful shame, that we can not all be like the contented gardener. We throw words around like sharp stones of flint, when the glass house in which we surround ourselfs  to will shatter. Like shards of fine glass panes our words can not be unspoken .. Unbroken. Let positivity bathe you in light from the vast window space, embrace its warmth, speak only words of kindness and love. If this proves too difficult to comprend when tempers fray, then eat your words or leave them unsaid. For this will cause shards of glass within a quick tongue that can not be unherd. Think, stop, have a little humility, we should do unto others as we undo for ourselfs. So I ask you only this, let your thoughts germinate seeded words of encouragement.

THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT
We go deeper than we realize Memory of us bleeding pictures heavy Endure a number of slices from words To assure us we are very unsteady My soul has not stopped shaking since You set off the earthquake that destroyed Any defenses in okay shape Your ripples I tried to avoid Is it wrong to say I wish we'd never become Friends so I would not get caught in your net Let you entice me with flattery Today my feet aren't getting wet Crumbling but cannot show cracks Taking measures so you won't decode The variety of contradicting statements I eagerly continue to unload Leftovers of our romance Strange and out of place Feels like we are actors Or athletes in a race Despite the villian you see me as I am hurting beneath my skin Do what you like with lonely days Jealousy predestined to creep in Poetry too honest for you Been a critic at best I have found negativity can motivate Claimed strength put to test See you and I struggle as well You run, catch up to my heels There's no way you can match my pace Tired, I let you control the steering wheel Know exactly the right buttons to press Tempers over edge when we fought Dream of forgetting your incredible name In reality mind for some reason will not

I Dream Of Forgetting
Without right and wrong There is only power This is how I rule my kingdom Mortal men are flighty Their tempers quick to change The smallest spark ignites their anger And sends them burning worlds to ashes His land is mine His wife is mine His riches are mine I teach them how to take Without bloodlust There is no power This is how I rule my men They bow and pray in temples, but Their willing sword decides the victor Where blinding fury reigns the strongest There, too, you’ll find my favor O God of War, let me destroy them! O Ares, Ares, bring me glory! O Ares, bring me victory! I teach them how to **** Without bloodshed I have no power This is how I rule my subjects Bleeding bodies soaking battlefields All are offerings, sacrifices Gifts made for my favor And the glory of my name I’ll take it all by force of sword Slash and burn until it’s mine There’s no mercy from my hands I teach them how to war

Ares
Gluteus Maximus That Gladiator of Rome Got into such a rage That his mouth did foam, He cursed and snarled And snarled and cursed, Yet things didn’t improve They got much worse; His fists beat the ground And he spat into the air, No one dare come close When his temper did flare. Furiously struggling To undo a knot so big It wasn’t his strong point, He couldn’t give a fig! Unable to get to grips With his **** leather laces Those sandals caused such scowls And grotesque grimaces... So, aren’t you grateful That he isn’t alive today? That bad tempered warrior Your life he would slay Just with one of his black looks Or a growl at your face, You’d probably explode With only a trace Of smoke and shoes Left where you did stand, Nothing but grey ashes On the Coliseum’s red sand!

Tempers Fugit
I just need one simple touch It doesn’t even have to be much Something to know that people still care Something to prove humanity still there. Is there anything that separates us from animals anymore? Is compassion becoming a chore? I think before I act and act before I think but both seem to land me in trouble. Tension hovering at the surface always. Float above as if no harm can come. Tempers soar, Voices raise, Tension increases. Times goes on, Memory fades, Moments never forgotten. Always at the surface. Things have been falling apart. It needs to be said. It needs to become real, true, manifested deep within our conscious. It needs to be fixed, it needs to be solved. None of us can handle it. It is never too late. But it is time to get started.

Worries.
Even in the darkest beast, one can find beauty. If they look through the eyes of love. Seeking a fading light, just out of reach as the heavens reign from above. Too soon, two souls become one, While two hearts are left longing. Darkness melds upon two minds they're chemistry is haunting. A connection so strong it spans the distance. Feelings are so real, one can feel the others touch. Yet both their hearts will heal. The realm of desire turns to ash as the moon sets low upon us. to need you so bad and not to receive we both shall turn to dust. Feeding off the dismal past true love it will prevail. two shadow;s dancing in the night their friendship will not fail. Tempers flare as longings go unfilled. Both fighting an attraction that can't be real. he has instilled a certain reality, she now begins to feel. A calmness in the darkness, a silence so surreal. they dance within the keyboard, in lacy shades of teal. They both live in a fantasy...knowing it can't be real.....
