THE GRAND IMPUDENCE

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

you lavish your words
on the canvas of your
growing mockery
to your narrow minded
view of world
you travel with near arsenic
trickery
the mind absent any true
human link with
its warm, feeling heart
can be a dangerously beautiful
spell one self deludes himself
under
your misery has become a coat
of disdain
abject leakage of suspicion
trails behind you
like melted radioactive ice cream
acrylic beauty comes to mind
when an image of you skates by
as lovely and cold as you've always been
the warmer world's inhabitants
will never venture more than a millimeter
closer to you
than they are now
you are kryptonite to even the squints
and their open scientific minds
as scary a metaphor as that is to admit..............

Author's Notes/Comments: 

written while reflecting on those types who think they know everything and have one set agenda and want to drag the rest of the world behind them in their narrow world view. The scary types that are so smart but so distorted too and cold. I won't name names. I'll leave that blank for you to fill in as you read this. I'd be willing to bet money that everyone knows someone like this. Enjoy..............

A beauitfully composed poem

This is a beautifully composed poem and I relished every line of it. Disillusionment and the resultant disappointment that sets in after experiencing unexpected turmoil of the soul has been mentioned in your other poems and I agree with you. Thanks for sharing the inspired poem.

Thank you for the honoured response :)

Hi Lady Poetess of undeniable talents, skill, emotional insight, wisdom along with a penchant for a BAD ASS: I would like to reciprocate my thanks to you.
Now, now...lady poetess fine...how can I beat up anybody when I gave my word to you not so long ago that I have hanged my gloves? I can beat anybody only if I fight and I have given my word of honour to you not to get involved in any kind of tussle/physical beat-ups/provoked resort to scuffles too?
I am a retired fighter now O lady poetess of exceptional calibre and you want me fight again? Why? Do tell me...yes...do tell me!
Lolz and lolz...there is a guy whose name begins with S and who I would love to beat up...but then again...a promise is a promise...so NO FIGHTING! OKAY!
Do respond via PM. Thanks.
You do not who I am (really...as you mentioned it two months ago...remember? I remember...)...yet let me smile graciously while bidding you a poetic adieu here.

whoo boy this is me all day.

whoo boy this is me all day. Cold and sad and analytic and lonely. Damn hard to get away from though. Only thing I didn't get was traveling with near arsenic, what exactly does that mean?

Thank you for your comments,

Thank you for your comments, what I mean by the following line is
you travel with near arsenic
trickery
this person moves through the world with an almost poison like intent to delude, similar to the conspiracy theorists. The try to drag others along even if it takes trickery or misrepresentation of facts to get others to believe as they do. That was how I meant that line. You meet those sort too often on line in chat rooms. Ones looking for 'way out there' reasons not to believe hard facts. At least that has been my experience upon several occasions in the past. Now, I just tend to steer clear of those types P.D.Q. Once again, Sincerest thanks, Melissa...............
