Your Screed For a Better World

Your screed for a better world
I didn't read it
It was tedious and
And even more so was
Rife with friction causing errors
Of a grammatical nature
Also refrain further
From the usage of emotical symbols
Smiling and frowning
If you are to be taken
Seriously
Screedwise
You also mention
A better world if owls
Are put in charge
I didn't read it
But and
Might I suggest
If you want the owls or other avians
To take you serious
I would correct at least your
Friction causing
Grammatical errors and
Emotical symbols
Rife as they be
I didn't read it
Your screed for a better world

When Once We Kissed

There you are
Spying across the way
I see your eyes are black and glitter
I see your finger
Itching on
The trigger
I see your lips about to hiss
I remember vaguely when once
We kissed

Eyes locking
Heart stopping
At this and that lost
Occasion
But the silencer sound
Dims the glitter
And your lips
Twist all bitter
You didn't think
I'd come to our reunion alone my love
As your black eyes fade and your finger
Slackens
Loses its grip
Upon the trigger
I remember vaguely
When once we kissed

Upright Emphatic

If I can't get
Because you want
I shall transpose
The get
To not where you are so
Emphatically
Wanting
Why you looking so
Standing arms crossed
Tapping of your foot
Is disregarded
The idea of your
Want
Is what attracted me
So and therefore
You being removed
Dislocated from
Invalidates my desire
To get
But I would rather this
Than you win
If I can't get
Looking so upright emphatic
Arms crossed
Foot tapping

All Over the Place

Don't get your DNA all over the place
Don't sweat it out or drool
And stand up straight
What are you expecting
Answers to questions but there are none
The only answer is wrong and you
Your will is against the other wills
My will is irredeemable and also
Wrong facing
Stop leaning you'll fall
There is polish to your lies
And you look not inelegant at times
Spare me however those looks of
Admiration and or seduction
Spare me too the sweep of your embrace and the
Eye contact when you look downwards
Distrust and blood and sweat and drool
Your DNA is mixing all up
With mine
I feel the combination
I feel the closeness gripping
Like an ever tightening fist
Like a trap
Your DNA and mine
All over the place

According To Those

According to those
Standing against us
We are at a crossroads
However
And depending on whims
And whimsy
We decline the invitation
To cross any and all such
Roads and or avenues
Rubicons neither
Decline the invitation
For
Participation
In the so called
Revolution
Patent pending
We also decline
The preordained results
And also attempts at
Scheduling
Execution dates
Pertaining to
Our bodies and or
Minds
According to those
Who predict a revolution
At a crossroads
We decline

In Pain

And so we are
In pain
As we remember
His pain
Failed to realize the extent
He hid so well
So much pain
And then he decided to
End his pain
Of which we failed to realize
He had decided to
Book a hotel room
And
End his pain
Which caused our pain
And now we remember
Our shared pain
And he is gone
But we remember
And so we are
In pain
But we remember
