The Poet and The Preacher
Speaking something that hits close to home
Skill relative to the words I hone
What sells to the audience
Getting hazy in my intent
One moment to entreat the eyes
And the next to simply vent
Is this success as I am drawn
What is my darkness or my dawn
Motivations in question
Do I write for me or you
Underlying this self-doubt
Do I just pretend to be good at what I do?
Save face or substance
There is a man beneath the myth you make of me
When I'm cast in the role of higher expectations
Than the disappointment...

My First Poem
I used to write stories about real events
A girl called Michelle inspired me to write poems
She was writing in a notebook on the counter
Out of curiosity I asked her what she was writing
And she said that she was writing a poem
I told Michelle that I wanted to read it,
But at first she was reluctant to show it to me
She said that her poem was personal
I kept urging her to show me the poem
She handed me the notebook and I read it
Michelle's emotional writing impressed me
Her feelings of love were similar to mine
And I was...

Shh...
I am complicated
within myself
I guess because I am something
like human
with the proclivities
of an alien
And hallucinatory height
induced nights
with flight
that left stains on my soul
and heart
side effects of the art
practiced
in candle wick
rooms
consumed
in thoughts that bloom
or blossom
like the smokey plumes
of the visions
and the admissions
that exude
and flood
the air – as the candlewicks are consumed
as the session concludes

Reflection & Addiction (RNA over TNA)
I used to fall in love at the drop of a discarded dime
Been emotionally abused more than a few times
It should be a crime but I'm not a vic nor a convict
I'm much mightier & wiser despite of the torment
It aided in the development of the current me
When looking in the mirror, I love the me that I see
Bumpy has been many roads that I've traveled
Sometimes what shines like a diamond is only bedazzled
I'm puzzled as to why my third eye didn't see more clearly
Maybe I just erroneously relied on my heart to lead me ...

Chess as Communication
The silhouette of a ship’s sails
in the corner of my eye
As I am out to sea… Just to see
Destiny?
Mercurial moonshine
in a tipsy turvy line
that travels across time
With reason & rhyme
The space between
is communication
in this space
so full of space
* * *
Vibrations
over
U’s
sent
to
you
* * *
Communication
between
human & human
begins
as the language of aliens
the strangest of signs...

The Dreams of Dirt
The seeds are searchers
with inbuilt mechanisms
of travel or teleportation
ascending & descending
the wind & imagination
of the systematic
amalgamation
of phenomenon
lingering & landing
malingering & settling
Setting in with the setting sun
Venturing into the place where everyone
goes to die or dream
Into the Earth made secret keeper realm
As my imagination takes over
under the deepest wonder
depth beyond measure
as the only answer
to be shore

Verity
Telling the truth to people close to you
is a difficult feat, the accusations and repercussion
can be dire.
When you puncture the picture where they see
themselves as helpful people.
The unvarnished truth is they will rob you blind
and expect you to be grateful.
Those who were your friend will not help you
for them, assistance have a pecuniary aspect,
If you let the trespasses against you slide, you will
think of yourself as a coward; and those who were
your friends will feel contemptuous of you.

Instant poetry
I gotta tell you
this writing poetry is hard
there's fleas and poop everywhere
and my banana bill is through the roof
cooking and cleaning are driving me mad
not to mention the changing of diapers
all for the Goddess Calliope
I've given up my dream of writing
another War and Peace
or even Jonathon Livingston Seagull
I would have settled for a limerick or two
that weren't about bananas
that's it I'm getting out
for sale 100 monkeys
they know the alphabet
or and least their BANAs with refrain
but I...

“Shine” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 26/4/2021
When I Now Sit And Write ...
The Rhymes That I Write SHINE ...
Just Like The BRIGHTEST Sunlight ... !!!
But ... ONLY To Those ...
Who DON’T Live In Denial ... !!!
The Words That I Quote ...
In My Poetic Lines ...
Are REALITY Driven ... !!!
So Are NOT Verses Written ...
To Embrace Submission ...
To Falsified Visions ... !!!
They Deal In Straight Spitting ...
So Relate ... Lyricism ...
That’s Built To Use Scripture ...
That REJECTS Weak Positions ...
That Keeps The Truth ... Hidden ...

Wax Poetic
Poetry emanates through my mind
Every time I
Think about the beauty of a woman
Every experience
I have
I want
I desire
I find myself
Contemplating our connection
Each interaction I think about
What it will take to please her
Every woman is different
In her own special way
Yet each one has the same desire to be
Satiated
Whether it’s to be made love to
Or to be Thug Hard Ridden!
Tied up or chained
And eaten
Like nobody’s business!
I take every occasion...
Every time I
Think about the beauty of a woman
Every experience
I have
I want
I desire
I find myself
Contemplating our connection
Each interaction I think about
What it will take to please her
Every woman is different
In her own special way
Yet each one has the same desire to be
Satiated
Whether it’s to be made love to
Or to be Thug Hard Ridden!
Tied up or chained
And eaten
Like nobody’s business!
I take every occasion...
