An Awkward Moment

An awkward moment and pause in thought
You there looking up from where
I here looking down from when
To clasp your hand or otherwise speak
In aid and assist
Is what is called for
But we linger the awkward moment before us
For such things are precious
You've torn your dress it seems
And skinned your knee
It's easier to sink than rise
So in sympathy I fall
Or does the ground rise and embrace me
It feels hard
I don't skin my knee though
Or tear my clothes
So perfect understanding
Eludes us
Still the awkward moment and pause
Was nice

Thoughts

Such thoughts in your head
They are bad thoughts those thoughts
You can't think that way
I am blushing at the thought of
Those thoughts in your head
They is not so PC man
She's too young
And he's too old
Get your mind out of the
Muck
Rake some slime 'til it evens out more better
At the least
Distend out some morals
I would like to lend you some
Morals there
But mine are all ready
Compromised and
Running low as it is
As it is
Those thoughts in your head
Make me cringe and shake my own head
Which causes brain stirrings and I am trying
To ease off those types of labours
Generally speaking
You make me blush when I see
The gleam in your eye
Those thoughts in your head
Nasty dirty freedom thoughts
Gone red I have
Flushed with the spirit of envy
Don't you know
You're not allowed
Those thoughts in your head gonna get us all
Up against the wall
You wait and bare witness
Up against the wall and if lucky one last
Cigarette and blindfold free of charge with a bullet
Where did your morals run to
Maybe mine are there too
And we can catch them together

Breathe (a rhyming poem or song)

Sometimes I feel claustrophobic
And some times very sad
Some times I feel like shit and
Like I'm going mad
So you can have a rest now
I tell my weary brain
You need to have a rest now
And maybe just abstain
From the stress of it all
Try and rise up after such a fall
Perhaps some libation
To ease the frustration
Come on and so do
Listen what you need
What you really really need
Is to breathe
Is to breathe
Is to breathe and breathe and breathe

Sometimes I feel caustic
Enabled and real low
Sometimes I feel my heart cannot
Withstand another blow
But you've got to have a listen
Try and change your disposition
Perhaps a little libation
To help with a cessation
Listen what you need
What you really really need
Is to breathe
Is to breathe
Is to breathe and breathe and breathe

Stentor

Stentorian terms and tones
Why you gotta shout so much
I am not far
I am here and there's not too much
Wax build up I do not think
Wax build up is worth addressing
This is unattractive they say
But and maybe you can
Transition your tone there
To one more silken and so more
Attractive to my ear bones
I still won't agree maybe
With all or some of what
You vomit from your brains
But at least my ears won't ring any more
And birth forth wax
So unattractive to stifle
Stentorian
That's what I'll call you now
And you don't disapprove
I can tell by the gleaming
In your eyes
You're all bark anyways
And a sap
I'll call you Tree instead
As you refuse my advice
Go then and preach on another stump
This one here
Is mine now I claim as pulpit my own
Let me now
Clear my own throat and voice
Become like that herald of Troy
Stentor
But if you be like Hermes
I will decline any contest
Between us
