Stop!! Listen for once.

Turning green as Sycamore trees
But can never smell as sweet
All because the bumble bee’s
Always come to me,

The worker ants carry their load
Without the slightest care,
But it seems that your back
Has never seen wear and tear,

Babbling like a brook
Constantly without stop
All that you say
Just crashes against deaf rocks,

The flowers that bloomed today
and wither on the morrow
Seem to have more sense
Then all your yesterdays,

The sea riding on a summer breeze
Gently and lovingly slaps the shore
For you to comprehend this
it would have to pound as a winter storm,

The mirror is your friend
Cause it will never say
That you are just an actor
Who always plays pretend

I think maybe I’ve made an error
Speaking in metaphors
I should just ring clear
Like the bells of past years,

Here it is, so you’ll understand;
MOTHERFUCK YOU,
AND ALL YOU STAND FOR!!

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
anger sometimes comes welling up when you have to deal with people who lie to themself and try to make you a part of their hell. But that aint happening with me, I just won't have it. I emailed this to the idiot, I hope my thoughts where clear.

I read this twice and as I read it I thought someone messing with the wrong cat somewhere. Anger and writing could be a great release however next time roll it off your back when the cat starts scratching. lol love to you my friend and I love this part the best

The mirror is your friend
Cause it will never say
That you are just an actor
Who always plays pretend

So true so true

Buon Natale and blessings to you friend stay warm up there

Love Mona xoxox

My dear friend al is good!
I just had to let go, I don't take what people do and say pesonal, because I know it's not about me it's about what they see in themself.
The mirror lies, the heart does not.

In the end the anger had weiled up enough that I went street, and all the proper words went straight out the window. sometime properly placed ugly words get the point across. the sword at times is mighter than the Pen.
thank you my old Bud!

you might be offended by this , but this poem is not about you, it's about my dissatisfaction with certain friendships that are take, take and take.
So please read it again and see me, that I am a person that take's little and gives a lot. Good or Bad! thia is my Heaven!
thanks for the read, hope you where not offend I value you as a poet!

No Offence Meant

I’m but a passer by
and i know
Who all love me?
And
who do try
But my poemic comment
Was to ferment
Your poetry in my inner sense
At times i convey
To misconvey
Humour alone i display
As words on a string
Of writers imagination
I play

loved

then what is the point! I consider it then a waste of energy and wasted energy is native energy.
I don't know if your trying to be funny or trying to be 'CUTE'!
please tell me, in words an idiot as i can understand!!
please stop saying your playing me, because your only playing with yourself and that can't be fun?

Eddie at home in the dark!!!!

I like how the metaphors soften the blow of your words. Great poetry.

You obviously have not read many of my poems, because if you had you would know about my dark side.

So, other than feeling better, did it make a freakin' bit of difference to the other guy? It's always good to be clear and precise in one's language. ;-)

Eduardo, mi amigo.

Pienso que conozco a la persona de quien tú habla. ¡El unfortunate pobre, cegado por el ego, cargado con cólera frustrada porque no son perfectos, y la toma hacia fuera en el mundo entero!

¡Putas y cabrónes! ¡No jodas en mí cabeza o mi corazón!

No es posible pero es, el mundo esta llano de idiotas que estan disgustado con la vida. Y esta personas, atentan destruir el resto del mundo. No vivan la vida real.
Muches gracias hermano.

No hay de que, Eddie.

De veraz, es verdad!

Del cuarto de mi alma deseo que la gente sacara de sus cabezas sus asnos, y veo. Es mi rezo diario.

Ciao,

I don't think you could get on my bad side, because you are always a gentlemen.
and that speaks volumes about you!
