High School Dropout (Butterfly Cinquain)
Sitting
across; looking
at school. Nothing is taught.
Transformation not an option.
Conform
to marginalization.
Never knowing thyself,
makes ignorance,
not, bliss.

Dogs Lie & Talons Pry
Most times it's best to let sleeping dogs lie
Dousing fireworks from prior 4th of July's
Talons may pry bad times from your rolodex
As you think of thick thighs on one of your ex
Good sex will make you forget inadequacies
Of an ex who made you vex with frequency
Their frequency an incompatibility with yours
Can't see the forest for the trees of an encore
Dousing fireworks from prior 4th of July's
Talons may pry bad times from your rolodex
As you think of thick thighs on one of your ex
Good sex will make you forget inadequacies
Of an ex who made you vex with frequency
Their frequency an incompatibility with yours
Can't see the forest for the trees of an encore

the indigenous brain of an old junkie
my brain is an old
junkies brain
it moves in strange
ways
like:
laughing at the jokes
that flowers tell
sitting in a graveyard at
night and talk with
dead children who
will never know
another birthday
or Christmas
that an honest hatred
is better than a false love
on any given day
seeing that truth is
held prisoner by
perception and
that perception
is no better than
a rotting fish lying
on a rocky beach
and that there is
no...

Light Of Insight
Positive energy, sympathy and genuine empathy
The composition & equation of an empathic trinity
Caring is daunting for those who don't have hearts
Must ascertain defibrillators and give 'em jumpstarts
Providing sparks to put 'em into normal sinus rhythm
A telemetry of empathy after releasing cardiac jism
Then maybe their prisms will reflect a different light
Instead of static spectrums devoid of esoteric insight

Experience (Short version)
Living brings about experience
Experience brings about wisdom
Wisdom brings about perspective
Perspective brings about understanding
I saw you
And I wanted you
Swore in my soul that I needed you
You felt for me
Then fell for me
And came to love me as much as I do you
Young,
Inexperienced,
and, obviously,
Lucky as F#%k
Just stumbling
bumbling
fumbling 'round in the dark
(what's that country saying bout "blind hogs and an acorn"?)
I knew exactly what I'd gotten
But...

Death after the branches of the World Tree
There are many mystery schools
Love, light, dark, devotion, death
I have seen the death of roses
scattered as they crumble
I have heard the laughter
of the lambs in the skin
of a bear
Seen the purple buddings
of the glowing embers
when in all
given peace dying
has set in
When all old wounds
are embedded in the masses
in the eternal pelvic center
of roots aligned...
Love, light, dark, devotion, death

has set in
When all old wounds
are embedded in the masses
in the eternal pelvic center

Bealtaine
Earth opens annual orbit
together, may we proceed
significant yet invisible threshold
Hill of Uisneach
Eiru anoints abundance
of the land
Grand octal
celestial event
oh Amergin,
skywatcher
your are poetry
dressed in
white flower
dip your feather
into silken stream
Grand octave
awakens
fidelity flake
awakened
a Fay delight
oh She
Shee
let us wash
our faces
in morning
dew
be still ...

Internal Affairs
Internal Affairs
Those moments
were almost
indestructible,
blindly taken
for granted,
made to wait
for sentencing
in the expressions
of history.

Shaking The Dice
Some days you feel great
if just one time up can pick up a hard eight
On other days you feel like you are in heaven
because every roll comes up 7 or 11
There are other days you pray that the lord hears your cries
because every roll is a trey or snake eyes
The one thing I don't have to thing about twice
is if I wake up tomorrow I will be-Shaking The Dice
if just one time up can pick up a hard eight
On other days you feel like you are in heaven
because every roll comes up 7 or 11
There are other days you pray that the lord hears your cries
because every roll is a trey or snake eyes
The one thing I don't have to thing about twice
is if I wake up tomorrow I will be-Shaking The Dice

“Where My Wealth Is “ ... A Poem written by Big Virge 12/10/2020
It Seems That ...
MANY Place WEALTH ...
On A ... HIGHER Shelf ...
Than Their Personal Health ... ?
So I Guess They Can’t Tell ...
That This May Not Serve Well ... ?!?
ESPECIALLY Now ...
That Corona’s Around ... !!!
Or Maybe It WILL ... ?!?
If Becoming ... ILL ...
Is Something It Can Fix ...
By Using Dollar Bills ... ?!?
It’s Something I Learned QUICK...
When My Mum Became Sick ...
Because Wealth of Health ...
... Is NEEDED MORE ...
Than Grabbing Cash ... ...

Jacqueline Suskin (Lady Poet)
she sat
raw and natural
up
the sloped hill
among
the wildflowers
in bloom,
her slim frame
and light
moment eyes
pierced
the day,
with
her intentions
her soft thoughts
passing
from
silent lips,
she wrote
into the air,
i stumbled
upon her poetry,
i did not move
until
each
of her lines
became
the air
i inhaled.
