 Finding The Flood - Poems by Jeremy Joel

Polar



Ration doses, respect and devotion
Tirades and sermons, Tourette-like demotions
Moon beams and mood swings obscured by the blinds
The triumphant marriage of mismatching minds


Defensive man dead set on a mission
One extreme to the other woman
Green-eyed Caucasian weds brown-eyed Caribbean


The shared life of opposites, nary a dispute dull
Prosecution never rests for this infatuated odd couple
When one's dying to relent the other's living to rebel


Pressing buttons and picking brains
Guilt-trip melodies are a nightly refrain
Past mistakes and little white lies
Mistaken for tattoos and black magic tricks
Shaken by the abuse of mad, tragic lives
Immune to the screams of tabooed adjectives


Ridiculous butt-kicking vampire slayers
Unscrupulous Hollywood sagas
Why's she entertained by this recyclable garbage?
Pretentious mind-numbing classic literature
Quotations from philosophers
Is plagiarized wit all he can offer?


Newlywed living is paradise imprisoned
Differing cutthroat opinions
Like tear ducts to onions
Two werewolves howl for the American dream
While killing rabbits in London





Suburban-life resistance
Coexistence misadventures
Hers with ketchup and relish
His with jalapenos and mustard


Devil dangling on my shoulder
Vanish long enough to hold her
Through sickness and health
When the bonfire burns colder


Easily opened with keen, squinted eyes
Gift-wrapped sarcasm when comedians collide


Poker faces we put on
Pros and cons
The battle of red versus white wine
Palettes cleansed have taste buds again
Merlot and Muscat share the same vine


Without remorse he unleashes insensitivity
Belittling fortune cookies and tabloid astrology
Believing existentialism explicates our destiny
Without recourse she exploits the inner workings of a fraud
Shunning evangelistic excuses of a hurricane-hurling god
In spite of corroboree their core beliefs carry on
Delaying Judgment Day to reveal a bond


What's left behind in a vacated home?
Just a scorecard and a soapbox
Chalk it up to selfishness
Your plethora of problems


Kangaroo court decides losses and profits
Differences that divide
Anniversaries dissolve them
But no sanity is spared for polar opposites
