Trolls

Scorning Millions - laughing
at untold secrets.
Flaps are open, preparing
to fire bullets.

One truth never to be
revealed.
Hearts hidden, deeply
concealed.

Chosen brothers, sent from God
to help in times of disdain

Scrap sisters baking mud
pies meant to be thrown.

Overcoming the blue with hue
of salt
Dried up tears, unwashed -
no halt.

Mended holes,
plastic trolls

World not ready -
for thin and weighty.

Courtesy

How I hate courtesy -
sister of politeness.
One day the fallacy
show - Pretty grey forest.

Many hearts led astray -
By this rude injustice.
Sleepless nights - will portray -
Enemy's accomplice

Feigned love is worse than poison
The body in pain
One moment released - waken
To meet "Cordial" thus named.

As if feelings were fragile -
Like an opened red tulip
Run from anger - too docile

For the action of friendship

Eyes

The eyes' prime use forgot.
"Look to God, and live!"


If so, our eyes would be burned - hot.
Directing our souls, attention -


Lives on a thread
reaching out with piercing affection.


Crossing hearts, and hoping to die
Needles sticking in majority eyes
Sincerity in sight is a lost trait


Avoiding eyes are murderers
Searching eyes are
welcome in my home anytime, mate!

Rage Cost

Economics Principle
The Opportunity cost of my
Rage -

The tears I could be shedding and
the self pity I could be feeling.

Plus the loss of mental and physical energy.
Rage is the wiser choice of
distributing my resources.

Not only does it supply its own energy,
But saves energy that the alternative consumes.

Veil

Everyday we die
and wake with new lives
Forgetting the passions
we once had extreme
Staying up to avoid
the veil.

Blood stains around my door -
Passover, for my intensity.
pAIN, TURNED TO aNGER
from another's injustice
energy drawn from within
succumbing to sweet senselessness

Preparing for death
of all feeling.
Love cannot be had in
fullness, by just one.

Proving destruction to
the solvent -
Never to be used again
on another.

Land Ho!

Land Ho!
Dreary days at sea - hoping
Mirages floating.
At last beholding -
A shape of hope
Through all the clouds
At once, arriving
blessed moment.
Never again recurring
From the times of sorrow
to this time of silent joy.
Time stops for such experiences.

Rage

Rage
not so bad
if the port is
for mere energy


Accomplishment
through anger and passages
of insanity


Calm and Carefree
Compromisable.


If you don't quite know yet -
humans fail.


It takes a mind out of flesh
to control
this play dough
painful, mass.
