poema erotica

admire how they write--
erotic poems with finesse
a few of them here

wish I could as well
but don't know where to begin
hope someone could help

experimented once
trying to emulate them
got hooked ever since

newbies writing poems
on sex and drugs and the like
get more reads than mine

came to conclusion
sex really sells - that's a fact
found out the hard way

forgive my rantings
knew I'm not the only one
to rave about this...

Even a Minor Cut Hurts

Do nothing Congress
did nothing to prevent
sequestration,
what a shame!

Furloughs and budget cuts
are visible by-products
inflation, the product.

Medical and educational assistance
included in the cuts;
is it fair to a returning vet?

Wages and cost of living allowance
lie dormant for years
while you, dumb fat-asses in Congress
shamelessly raise your paychecks.

Empty promises...

Politicians at their best
tongues of lies and deceit,
mudslinging to cover their own dirt
We're precious as gems
when they need our votes,
but treated like old rags
when we needed them most.

Beauty weeds the River Bed

Brothers who Stand together,    
their blood runs one with the rivers    
   
Brothers who are Born to their Families    
and to their countries    
raised strong, through the tiling of their sills    
to feed on fresh, healthy bread.    
   
Brothers who live together,    
grow to young men,    
grow to sense of Duty    
grow to War.    
   
Brothers, swear to the Land    
and die to protect it further    
their blood returned to the stream    
the rivers flow still.    
Their anguish siphoned    
to feed the healthy grain again..    
   
Brothers abandon their Sons,    
as their Sons abandon theirs    
   
And the River will flow    
And the Bread will grow strong again.  
Through the river red rain,    
even the beautiful flowers grow.  
   
They'll feed off the same Bread  
They'll draw from the River bed
They'll grow prettier still  
and they'll die all the same.

Savor less Salt

Savor less salt
and hearts of stone
Heads of  wisdom
with  no desire to atone
Bloody hands and the foulest breath
the church I love lives in decay and mess
Speaking love out of one side of your face
while carrying plack cards filled with hate
Promising more to the suits and ties
while all around you people die
Salt can be a healing and medicate
but when rubbed on open wounds it only irritates
We claim to be the hands and the feet of the one we love
But if we're no good below-We'll be no good above

I cry
You make me cry
for what you have
told me, makes me
die inside.
You said you would
always be by my side
but you lied.
You said we would
have forever,
what happen to that?
How can I trust and
believe you?
You told me you
wouldn't lie and
you made so many
promises.
How can I believe
that you have
not lied?
I don't have
any fight left,
you've torn it
from my chest.
I thought you
were different,
but I guess it
was all a show.
How could I have
been so stupid?
How could I have
been so blind?
I thought you would
always be mine,
but you have
showed your true
colors just in time.

Fuck the world
There are somethings in this world that have no explanation,
for why they piss you off so much,
I could really hurt some people if I let my inner self come out.
No one would understand me.
No one is like me!!
No one gives a fuck about me, so why the fuck should I care.
Fuck The World!!

I Just Fucking Hate You

What the hell
I’m supposed to apologize
I did nothing wrong
Unless standing up to a verbally abusive jackass
In my own home is wrong
In that case, I am guilty

To keep the peace
What the fuck?
They are MY children

All of this
Because I wanted her to go to bed
An hour past her bedtime
You kept her up
Mocked me and my rules
The hard work I did to get a routine
One that worked
One that allowed me to sleep

All of this
Because I wasn’t going to take it
Not anymore
My house, my rules
You don’t like it
Get the fuck out
And don’t come back

Of course this isn’t the way it goes
I’m asked to apologize
For snatching her up
From your abusive arms
So their Grammy can have peace
All of us together
What a fucking joke!
It’ll all be a lie
I fucking hate you!

I’m not the one in the wrong
We’re all adults
But I…the shy, quiet one
The one who doesn’t speak to anyone
Is the only one who calls you on your behavior
Women are not lowly as you think
And I refuse to be treated as such

Though
Apologize I will
Only for snatching her the way I did
It wasn’t fair to her
She’s barely three and doesn’t understand
Why I took her from you
But make no mistake
I will not tolerate you
I will not back down
They are my children
And my rules stand
And if it comes right down to it
I will leave
Leave you, your wife and these kids behind
(the children because I’ll legally have no choice)
And their daddy can explain why mom’s away
Because I won’t tolerate abusive words tossed my way
Not for them
Not for mom
Not because their daddy can’t stand up to him too
Not for you
You are not my family
And if choosing my family means choosing you
Forget it!
I’d rather be alone
Than lay down my belief’s
And where I stand
So Fuck you Joe
I hate you
I hate him too
He sealed his fate
When he asked me to say sorry
Even if he doesn’t know it yet
I’m done
I do not deserve it
And unlike his mother
I won’t take it
Listen to it
Ignore it
Let myself be treated that way
Apologizing for him breaking my rules
In my home

Coward

In the dark lurking
fearful of your own slimy pathetic shadow
hidden behind a carefully constructed facade of sham and hypocrisy
tracking, watching masters at their work who know too well
how to hold their weapon and fight with words
while singing songs of love, honesty and truth

Tap in that rotten meat matters
you may find minute spark of life
just enough juice to start up, copy...paste  
momentary gratification of feeling wonderful
Jx taut you were so perspicacious, right?

Pathetic creature!

When was the last time you actually read a poem
felt the words, heard the echos in the wind
shed a tear between the lines of hope and gratitude
fuck like it's your last breath
while holding on to that person
you love so dear

Feeding on someone's passionate affair with their ink
while your slimy drool drips and drips on the keyboard
the rancid smell of the sewer you swim in
even the sharks wouldn't care to go near

Cry me a river
watch your back
my quill's point
as sharp as a knife
it will bleed you
to death

Be warned,
you will never steal my pen
my heart..my soul

MY RANT AGAINST DEPRESSION AND BUREAUCRACY


Fuck you depression
I do not like your visit
You are screwing up my life
Further, you were not invited
You have been a shadow
In the corners of my mind
For as long as I have lived
And you are not kind
The devil must have sent you
To slow me down
To wallow in self-pity
When no-one is around
Dammit I am taking antidepressants
You should be gone by now
But I see you in my peripheral vision
You are waiting
For the shit to hit the fan
Which is a possible opportunity
Right now
With bureaucratic paperwork
Holding me down
Piles of paper
All over the house
To be submitted in triplicate
I feel like a sick mouse
When I know that
No sooner I send one pile out
Three times the paperwork
Comes back and I shout
Fuck you paperwork
Fuck you depression
You can come in the winter
But not when the weather finally turned nice
So wait until November or December
It is dark and gloomy
I  want to enjoy the good weather
While it is finally here
I want to be a happy camper
Wait – there is that stuff
In the health food store
I wonder if it is safe
To take with this pile of junk
The real doctor told me to take?

THE LAST STRAW


I put up with your shit
I put up with your lazy-ass
But now I am going fuck you over
You will be behind bars when I am through with you

We took you in
Treated you like family
What do we get in return
Theft and immorality

You think we cannot live without you
You think you can get away with it
Our love for you and caring
Meant to you - not a whit

The problems you have caused
You have no idea
You are stoned out of your mind
Judgement has left you

Out the door you go
Never to set foot in here again
You have pushed me far too long
I have stopped being a wimp!

Grace's Graceful Rant

Pissy little people
smelling of yesterday's failure
thumping their chest
today, we won you shout
yelling like potbelly pigs
bitten by yapping chihuahuas
pathetic
You ousted a leader
whom you can't master
you pulled him from office
stamped on him
pushed into the ground
He was cutting your heads
the wormy little hydra
Now you are living
In a haunted mansion
with nothing but ghosts
of greatness reside
Outside the thick smoke
reach out to the skies
the sign of more to come
discontentment and chaos.
