Pariahs of mind, heart and spirit

Immature of mind,
fear-bound of heart,
twisted of spirit …
Those who play
with others’ lives, loves, and beingness
by misuse of power,
  of rumour, of insinuation
to cover their inadequacies
- they, and their willing tools,
are showing the worst
of the immature.
Their petty, twisted, bullying souls
- vindictive, offended at change, unyielding
are pariahs of mind, heart and spirit.

To a demon of yore

What demons possessed ye
demon of yore
that you could twist the knife
and hurt me so?

You won
- or so it seem’d,
but I
in the long run
had the greater victory
of work and play, 
while you stayed shrivelled
and fearful inside.

The gated communities of one mind each

The world worships
the great lie
- that sameness
must be absolute
for all things good
- friendship, love,
belonging. 

The world's worshippers
of that great lie,
terrified of uniqueness,
of tiny eccentricities,
of their personal truths,
live a lie
- a fraud of heart and mind and soul
to create the
seemingness of sameness ...
in gated communities
flooded with terror - most absolute - of variance;
each of those in turn filled
with gated communities
each of one timid, quaking, cowardly mind;
each dedicated to denying divergence.

My burden

Tho' blows may bear towards
those I love,
striving to drive
to a path of pain and loss,
I can bear the bludgeons instead,
and watch their lives
unfold to untold joys and hopes,
tho' I must bear the pain and loss. 

But there is no sappiness here:
just the glow of knowing I have spared
others a needless loss,
against which mine
is the lesser loss.

Focus

When I left work,
deemed by society
to be old enough
to afford the luxury of uselessness,
I thought my horizons
would broaden.
Rather,
people lowered their shields
removed their disguises
and, façadeless,
showed their true worth
and life became honed
on those and that
which was of worth.

Blogiography

Rather than trying to keep this up to date, I now use labels based on the categories below.  

This is what I term a "blogiography": a simple list of what I have posted. I've now decided to sub-divide the list into:

  • photographs; 
  • shorrt stories; 
  • miscellaneous including humour; and 
  • poems.

I've posted [CW] to indicate a Content Warning below where I consider it merited. As mentioned in the header of this blog, I tend to "write out" negative states in poems, which is part of a self-therapy, and then go on with life and dealing with issues, etc - but it does mean the poems can be about distressing or upsetting matters. My short stories are often commentaries on the flaws of society - as are some poems - so, again, they can be about distressing or upsetting matters.

In due course I will also get those included in the titles of those posts as I continue to update this blogiography (although, given that I am adding these to years of posts, I will not provide much detail).


Photographs and sketches



Short stories

Miscellaneous (including humour)


Poems
