Contempt
You lie through eyes so well
And weep to dodge accountability
While we restlessly adjust to avoid discomfort
While critics of the culture patronize
Condescension on the lips of the so called wise
On the terms of an endearing acknowledgement
Where mockers call it love to hurt
With subtle hints of malice in the aftertaste
There you go saving face with a smile
And your heart with a tear to bait my sympathies
Here I am face to face with bitterness like a stark reminder of my own
Flash back to former days
I relapse in...

And your heart with a tear to bait my sympathies

Pride Is Incurable
Your words are like insights of the sun through the eyes of a blind man
We don’t pursue happiness anymore just a way to soothe conscience
I hide my tears in vices to prop the illusion of joy in the face of a truer sorrow
My heart feels too heavy for the words to express it
And I don’t know what it’s broken for
Just the reality of things beyond my desire to bear
Careless confessions bleed on me and we’re verbally transmitting diseases
I take the to the stage and get shot down
By relative prejudices and envy’s Godless liturgy
I want to...

I haven’t got a Cluedo how I got here
Heavy rain washed over the wiper blades
the car juddered to a halt, steam rising
from the radiator like a Roman spa.
As I looked around for any sign of help, lightening
flashed across the silhouette of large
foreboding house set back from the road.
I started the 60-yard dash, coat over my head.
The solid oak of the front door gave a dense thud
as I banged three times. It opened before the fourth
“come in Reverend” said a well-placed butler
“We’ve been expecting you”, I was about to say
you have me mixed up with someone else, ...

Things to do on DUP.
CREATE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS:
Create multiple accounts under different names but don't tell anyone. You can portray yourself as a boy or a girl and it won't matter. As long as you sound believable and have a good avatar, no one will know the difference. Trust me, there are many who do a good job depicting him or herself as someone else. I myself have two accounts; I'm a boy on each one. ha
EROTICA:
If you're impressed with an erotic poem and you want to leave a review but don't know what to say, use the word sensual. It'll cover a lot of bases when you can't come up with a...

Bad dog, Spotty!
Spot! What have you done! Bad dog! Now go to your bed and stay there. Just for that, I'm taking away your favorite squeaky hamburger toy. Now go lay down and hang your head in shame mister, that's right."
Waking at 6:00 am on a cold windy morning in December has never been my favorite activity. In fact, rising that early in any climate has is a burden. You can usually find me in a catatonic state tripping over myself attempting to put pants on. Thank God for thick padding underneath the rug in my room.

Love Is On My Bucket List
How do I put my life into words?
When all I find are walls at every turn
And desire is unborn potential
Dying in the womb
Looking for God in the eyes of a psycho
For some semblance of innocence
I am a soil comprised of two seeds
At a standstill for material worth
I resign progress to possession
As if all I own indicates how far I’ve come
Like a journey embarked on
Landmarks of emotion captured
TV romance to sell breath to my lungs
Respiration on the life support of ideals
Contrasting hues of vibrancy and shadow ...

Rietta
I felt a part of me
grow back
when I drove into the dusty lot
of the flea market.
Sunday crowds blossomed--
early risers, bustling
between tables
already filling their shopping bags
at 6am.
Not a moment to waste--
thoughts of arranging my wares
collided with a tinge of anxiety
over getting one of the last vendor tables left.
Wasn't the one I'd hoped for, but
God was still there in the clear blue sky
and the too-tall grass, damp with dew, making...

The Realm of a Haunted Past
Due to its length, you're excused from reading.
The Realm of a Haunted Past
A Story by Timagination.
Date setting: September 17, 1875
My beloved Elizabeth lies immersed in the deepest of silence, reposed within the darkness of her grave. In death, sleep is for those yet to breach the bounds of earth until God has forever made his presence and plans known. I fear however, she is not at peace. Trying many times to rid myself of this burden, the somber shrills of vexation have encroached their themes and assigned themselves to my soul.

The Trump Club (Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood)
did you hear what Biden did?
and I can't believe what Nancy said
oh, and Bernie is acting kooky
talking that cray-cray talk again
always going on about fair wages
and how we need to save the environment
what a joke
rather big business make all the decisions
they are so much more trust worthy
after all it's the American dream
have so much fucking money
that you wouldn't even know what to do with
all you know is you want more of it
while veterans die on the streets
oh, and that Pete guy
or should we say that gay...

Capacities of Clouds
With such heights
to fall
the lovers
must all
be suicidal
on some level
As clouds merge into sky truths imbued sorrowful
I will say
beauty depends on pain
as night
depends on day
The only fear one should have
is happiness…
The insurmountable physics
After so many footsteps
into depth
And thoughts…
into death
Such a depth or height
to explore
because happiness
is no more
than the illusion
of totality
and this illusion
is confronted...

Guilty of Association
You speak of love making as if it’s synonymous with heartbreaking
I think I like you too much to let you know me too well
But I’ll wear your ranks like the demotion of ridicule
For the infamy of being just like every other guy
Say what you must to forget about me
Soothe conscience with pacification
There is no penance apart from reconciliation
Apologies at the sight of graffiti accusations
Like murals of sin bleeding down stone beats
Beautify the defect and sell me on a well said tragedy
Let’s trade on the consumerism of...

The Horrifying Nightmares
If you promise not to speak to anyone about this, I'll tell you my story. It's not out of shame or embarrassment that I prefer confidentiality. It's just that, well...not many people believe such a wild tale.
You see, around this time every year, I am tormented by a nightmare. I've tried to stay up without sleeping but I inevitably fail at my attempts each time. It's as though I'm under some menacing spell that refuses to break its hold. But I believe I may know the source of its origins.
I've been a Buddy Holly fan since I can remember. His guitar...
