Royalty for the day, jester forever
Pat yourself on the back
give yourself a handshake
your ability to bore me is impressive
do you practice in front of your mirror?
you must have thick skin
the layers must have accumulated a horrific odor of skunk
what happens when there's no one left to put to sleep?
your obnoxious tendencies irritate me and all the others
you succeeded in being, "That guy" no one likes
Here's a suggestion...
stop trying to one up or outdo whatever I or others have to say
it's not an attractive trait
if you can't be respectable to...

Vast
I look into the vast pale blue sky
With travelling cloud giants passing by.
How small am I?
Crows squawk a foreboding language.
At the often absurdity of simply being human.
Trying to fit large ego's into tiny toned bodies.
Our problems pale as to the fate of the earth.
Denial never felt so good to the masses.
Climb out of your box.
And look around, wide eyed
At beauty's enormity in every species of life.
Give up your false theory
that the world revolves around you.
The world is vast, let's ensure it lasts.
With travelling cloud giants passing by.
How small am I?
Crows squawk a foreboding language.
At the often absurdity of simply being human.
Trying to fit large ego's into tiny toned bodies.
Our problems pale as to the fate of the earth.
Denial never felt so good to the masses.
Climb out of your box.
And look around, wide eyed
At beauty's enormity in every species of life.
Give up your false theory
that the world revolves around you.
The world is vast, let's ensure it lasts.

Glitter
He reaches out to me
Just when I'm down,
feeling less than steady
All that he reveals
And all he keeps hidden
isn't on the surface
He says he feels the weight,
can he stay a little longer?
Could we be just friends
Leave behind the past,
but maybe I'm not ready
And I bend until I break
Here we are right now
Will we ever feel the same?
'Cause I've realized
All that glitters in this life is
bound to fade
He dreams in golden hues
Raspberry delight, soft sheets and
open windows
Lilac in...

DEAR SANTA, OR, WANTED - NEW BIRTHDAY SUIT
Inspired by recent Facebook meme which read:
"Dear Santa,
I would like a new
Birthday Suit this
year. My current
one is old,
wrinkled, and
sagging."
Dear Santa, bring me a Birthday Suit -
The one I've got no longer looks cute
Within the opposite sex's view -
So my body looks as good as new.
The mirror's depressing evidence
Is getting too much for confidence;
Gravity seems pulling my flesh down -
Not the body I was proud to own.
Give me one...

Meeting In The Ladies Room II
Just a nighty reality check for the ladies, so listen up, we are in a new month and a new year, there are little offerings we can give our bodies to keep it functioning, to promote a healthy living.
Happy New Year to everyone.
We are in the season referred to, as Old Man Winter, the time the skin loses its hydration, the dry hands/feet, and crackling lips.
Ladies, to maintain that suppleness to the dermis skin you must use a less abrasive skin regiment, I must add, the proper way I would say, is to wash your face upon your Grand Rising, in...

Your Own Frankenstein
Memories crook a silent wind
in philosophies point of view
of roads less taken
as you lose your youth
and become your own Frankenstein
of a narcissistic embicile
playing the fool
in philosophies point of view

the shallow end
I pulled away you felt it you're right
I have a confession I was secure once in my looks
I don't feel beautiful anymore
sure I have a magnetism
and for some odd reason, young men are drawn
but these days....at this age it's a mystery to me
one day I turned from the mirror then looked back
and my face had changed
it provided me security my looks
it was something that I counted on
I've paid for being vain
it's my personality that draws men now
in person or otherwise
it's a curse in a way
I don't...

Tap Drips
The mirror mockingly reflects back at me,
Reflecting my every imperfection.
Noticing another blemish for every time the tap drip resonates in my ear ,
Double chin
Dark circles
Scars on my face from the burns
Noes hair
Gapped teeth
Blood shot sclera
Like my eyes are lychees injected with red dye
I never believed I was ugly
Fire thumb experiments were left
I was never right
Alone in the world at 32, rejected by the superficial society I was unlucky enough to be born into ,
Outdated style
Personality means nothing ...
Reflecting my every imperfection.
Noticing another blemish for every time the tap drip resonates in my ear ,
Double chin
Dark circles
Scars on my face from the burns
Noes hair
Gapped teeth
Blood shot sclera
Like my eyes are lychees injected with red dye

Fire thumb experiments were left
I was never right
Alone in the world at 32, rejected by the superficial society I was unlucky enough to be born into ,
Outdated style
Personality means nothing ...

Narcissist doll
Insanity calls for a spiritual demise
Angels reject thy disease
Forgotten, they suffer
No shadow to take
For I am the god here to please
Apparent in riles
Complacent in stellar
Lain place of valiant tease
Forsaking the measure
In search of self pleasure
Emboldened by the flair of the ease
Lay waste, their desires
let them singe in the fires
I am skillful at faking good deeds
forlorn, yet persuaded
To be masterfully jaded
Well versed to this imperfect scheme
Marked place of a...

Don't Linger On
your ego swells in mirrors
deep within you bask in your pride
your self love are like shadows
a selfishness you cannot hide
your charm is like an after shave
all stuck in you on you and around
you look so gallant and brave
you smile with an air of elegance
you think everything is about you
the sad songs from the radio
the clouds of white on blue
the poem about love so true
sometimes you pass by
giving me that tiny smile
as if its a favour bestowed
a smile for one as I
I smile back, but its...

Insane, Primal Attraction
Insane, primal attraction.
Depraved cycles and patterns.
Enslaved, psycho synapsis.
Obtained dice rolling travels.
Engage iso-macadam.
Sustain hiero-protraction.
Enraged tight rope mechanics.
Attain Eiffel, as status.
Engraved idol of magic.
The glazed eyeballs, entrancing.
To play spiraling madness.
It gauged dyno dynamics.
Amazed rival, proactive.
His brain, idle, imagines.
Betray, twice-fold ecstatic.
Persuade triumph, reactions.
Remain spiteful, for pageant.
Portray title,...
