Jumbled

Rope in mind
just in time for sundown,
daytimes dripping spill into dreams.

Bullshit, Boom,
spit and move
... where the whores run the show,
swaying to the smacking of genitalia,
relaxed are the minds of the satisfied,
tie me up and fuck me tomorrow too.

I'd jump in the blender if it'd do any good,
too close for the needle between us
and too far for a generous push.

I am seeking balance
but here we are... different.

arguing beliefs
your god, his god,
MY FUCKING GOD !

Who among you is perfect.
Which of you can honestly claim righteousness,
and who would even want to.

I do not accept man's behavoir toward his brother
I do not walk with you.
Fuck me, let me sleep,
maybe it's a dream.

Glad to see...

that you're not dead... like so many other gods. Written with a little humour, and a good dose of piss. ~ Is that what it takes to get you to write? There are many other things that should get your hat up. Hope to see of them. ~ Gee

My friend Gee...

no, not quite dead yet but we are all on the way ehhh. I seem to be stuck in some angry writing phase, been more than apprehensive to post most of them, I suppose I'm trying to hide the fact that I'm a grumpy old man, oh well... it's out now (lol) thanks man, I hope you are doing ok now. Richard

I wish it was...

...all a dream, but in fact it is a living nightmare. You really don't hold back with your recent writes. You have an anger in there and it is spilling out across the page...may your pen of blood never run out my friend. Great ending: I do not accept man’s behavoir toward his brother I do not walk with you. Fuck me, let me sleep, maybe it’s a dream. We odd English folk would put a 'U' in behaviour. I would also add a question mark to the two lines in the second from last stanza. I understand this piece immensely and believe it is my favourite poem of the week. I know you've been busy but it is good to see my old friend dancing across the forum again. Great write!

I'm glad you understood this write, it actually was parts of poems I threw together and felt it fit, in a "jumbled" sort of way. thanks, I can't use the "u", but when I edit I may use the punctuation suggested to enhance those lines. appreciate the read and your time Richard

This is why your one of my favourites you tell it like it is without the frills and bullshit then sock it to us ... brilliant write ... love and hugs Jayne-Chloe x x ("Quote:-For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.

Thank you Jayne...

the no frills writing isn't for everyone, some want everything to be pretty, and much of the world is, but it certainly ain't all pretty. thanks Jayne Richard
