Let's Get Cynical, Cynical...Again
I despise people who are two-faced liars
They pretend to be something they’re not
They get mad when the truth is too hot handle
Then change the narrative when they get caught
I dislike individuals who are duplicitous
They smile but talk smack behind your back
Acting nice in one place but toxic in another
Their narrative is a bunch of poppycock
And if they get political
It’s cynical
They’re so hypocritical
It’s miserable
I don’t want to hear that gaudy talk
Nope, I don’t want to hear that bawdy talk ...
They pretend to be something they’re not
They get mad when the truth is too hot handle
Then change the narrative when they get caught
I dislike individuals who are duplicitous
They smile but talk smack behind your back
Acting nice in one place but toxic in another
Their narrative is a bunch of poppycock
And if they get political
It’s cynical
They’re so hypocritical
It’s miserable
I don’t want to hear that gaudy talk
Nope, I don’t want to hear that bawdy talk ...

Two Lane Highway
It’s a quiet road where one lane heads north, the other south.
I travel life on both sides of this road especially at night.
Never ever meeting the illustrious middle.
Always sunny on the north side, never allowing pain and grief in this cavernous hole of loneliness.
The south side is where I live most comfortably.
Where my real self dwells-
It knows my pain and inner most sorrow.
The disappointment of failures only said aloud in my head and immediately denied.
In silent desperation I drive...
I travel life on both sides of this road especially at night.
Never ever meeting the illustrious middle.
Always sunny on the north side, never allowing pain and grief in this cavernous hole of loneliness.

Where my real self dwells-
It knows my pain and inner most sorrow.
The disappointment of failures only said aloud in my head and immediately denied.

BILLY - THE REVOLUTIONIST!
I feel like a revolutionist today, folks!
Armed & ready to fight prejudice -
With my words!
I had a dose of it last night.
Was told I was not welcome at a certain wine bar,
Situated here, near where I live.
Was told to watch my back -
Just because I'm English!
I only went along for the Karaoke...
Unfortunately,
The guy never saw the person behind the mask -
Never gave him a chance!
After all, I could've been the English guy,
Who fought to save his daughter's life,
The surgeon; instead, fighting...

Heart Always There (always)
crawl
into
my heart
lay
fetal
style
will
let you
heal here
within its
soothing
beat
scream
kick
if necessary
its padded walls
will absorb
your heart
just don't
abandon
me
like all those
others i let
heal here
into
my heart
lay

will
let you
heal here

Bittered Sweet
As friends go, we were quiet lovers
just a once
Absolute darkness forced our fingers
to search for help;
Found our bodies.
Your hands were so cold
that I knew they were practicing
being blue, soon.
So black, though, in the room
You didn't see my eyes teared up
from the freezing
When I put your fingers
to my lips, and blew
all the warmth
that my chest could offer you.
I couldn't see you
not smiling
Knowing this wasn't enough
to thaw forty years
of wintered life.
...
just a once
Absolute darkness forced our fingers
to search for help;
Found our bodies.
Your hands were so cold
that I knew they were practicing
being blue, soon.
So black, though, in the room
You didn't see my eyes teared up
from the freezing
When I put your fingers
to my lips, and blew
all the warmth
that my chest could offer you.
I couldn't see you
not smiling
Knowing this wasn't enough
to thaw forty years

Unlearned behaviour
Won't get back up.
I'm done learning how to fall.
All this being overlooked.
Has made me feel so small.
It's my own fault.
No longer breathe a word.
Silence speaks the loudest.
All else goes unheard.
It's only human.
To temper our fragility.
Beating each other to death.
To prove invulnerability.
It's so easy.
Don't allow the unexpected.
Those perfect aren't misguided.
Therefore aren't to be corrected.
Don't waste time.
Forget basic respect.
Besides you...
I'm done learning how to fall.

Uncrossing
Silent screams on the asphalt,
life that stops in the blink of an eye.
A feathered dream falls,
a hairy hope falls,
lost in the blur of the floor.
The road, cold and indifferent judge,
echoes in so much absence
with legs and wings,
that once vibrated
in the sweet embrace of nature.
The pain remains
in tire tracks,
a testimony to the fleeting life
and the cruel intersections
of human haste
and wild innocence.
life that stops in the blink of an eye.
A feathered dream falls,
a hairy hope falls,
lost in the blur of the floor.
The road, cold and indifferent judge,
echoes in so much absence
with legs and wings,
that once vibrated
in the sweet embrace of nature.
The pain remains
in tire tracks,
a testimony to the fleeting life
and the cruel intersections
of human haste
and wild innocence.

Gravedigger's Gout - with Mel44
Twilight’s oblivion
lights just went out
darkness spreads
like a cancerous bout
mortals in ashes
as the curtain fell about
absent illumination
life does not sprout
dead are the blooms
in shades of drought
petals in metamorphosis
without light to scout
putrid the stench
of a gravedigger’s gout
depths of desolation
leaves me to pout
lights just went out
darkness spreads
like a cancerous bout
mortals in ashes
as the curtain fell about
absent illumination
life does not sprout
dead are the blooms
in shades of drought
petals in metamorphosis
without light to scout
putrid the stench
of a gravedigger’s gout
depths of desolation
leaves me to pout

Wants not Needs
I swim in the ebb and flow
of life's cycles eternal tide
to birth and life grasping
what stories living has to offer
there's comedy in cycles circle
cruel pranks of enticement
only to be cruelly withheld
ambitions become unreachable
love for instance becomes a dream
comforts are shown from windows
of someone's living room
leaving bitter tastes in one's palate
the ache that lingers
none can actually share
for each their own disappointment
each to their dimensions of despair
wishing to find...
of life's cycles eternal tide
to birth and life grasping
what stories living has to offer
there's comedy in cycles circle
cruel pranks of enticement
only to be cruelly withheld
ambitions become unreachable
love for instance becomes a dream
comforts are shown from windows
of someone's living room
leaving bitter tastes in one's palate
the ache that lingers
none can actually share
for each their own disappointment
each to their dimensions of despair
wishing to find...

I Wanna KISS Her
I wanna kiss her
And take all the pain away
I wanna hold her
Because there’s nothing left to say
We both know the situation is broken
And it doesn’t have a fix
The way this all began
Our feelings were never supposed to mix
We were just each other’s escape
Never meaning to become anything more
But our daily interactions
Has brought us to love’s door
If we walked through it together
Happily ever after we’d be pretending
With impossible obstacles to breach
There cannot be a happy ending
At this crossroads...
And take all the pain away
I wanna hold her
Because there’s nothing left to say
We both know the situation is broken
And it doesn’t have a fix
The way this all began
Our feelings were never supposed to mix
We were just each other’s escape
Never meaning to become anything more
But our daily interactions
Has brought us to love’s door
If we walked through it together
Happily ever after we’d be pretending
With impossible obstacles to breach
There cannot be a happy ending
At this crossroads...

The Negative side of Ai.
In google, i typed : AI generated poetry, and here what came.
uncountable websites of AI generated poetry with so many options,
and so i chose the first one that came on top of my search.
https://deepai.org/chat/what-is-ai
--I typed A Life of Rhyme, and all the world poetry fell down on me. the following are just example....
A Life of Rhyme
In gardens where the wildflowers sway,
A whispering wind beckons each day.
With laughter like sunlight, bright and warm,
Life dances around in a joyful form.
Each morning...
