There's an old saying:

" If you don't like what I have to say, if you don't like honesty or truth, if you don't like what I stand up for or represent? "

" Tough Shit"

I'm An American Poet.

MORE THAN THIS More than just this, A hand A halo A tryst Swallowed up in imagery Synergy, the electricity Of a single, simple Word Phrases given by divine intervention Ecstasy or the need for flight From God or Buddha, Mohammad or the night More than just this Your love, your voice exists Re-invents astrology resists where history Temptation has been Genesis, or the temporal servants Of the momentary rhyme Or a monumental pause of the mind More than just this, Poetry must be Can be Much more than just a drunk Or a mere critic, a contagious madman A martyr, a saint, your youth, your death or your age This crime of sincerity More than just an eternity Forgotten. ~ R.M. Engelhardt From "The Resurrection Waltz" ©2012

MORE THAN THIS
Poem #rmengelhardt #gentlemanoutsider #poetrycommunity

THE DEPARTURE OF THE HERO ON A SHIP 1. The Myths Of Dead Warriors Proclaiming Freedom Winning Battles 2. They all end up dead With the flowers left Upon their bodies 3 The Stories Rewritten over Time & centuries Luigi Never went to jail But was excuted The crowds Scrambling For Medicare But cheering it's CEO's The French Resistance Were never Anti Fascists But Trump Supporters Jesus Didn't like immigrants And Refused to Heal Them 4. The Departure Of The Hero on a Ship Giving no interviews on Social Media No comments back at the Monsters Saying: FUCK THIS I'm leaving for Canada Maybe Greece And maybe you should all retreat Also Before It's far too late. ~ R.M. Engelhardt ©2025

Accept rejection. Don't beg. Never chase.
Know your worth.

Choose yourself.

An Introduction
#rmengelhardt
#poetrycommunity
#gentlemanoutsider

To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them.

~ Shakespeare

A wise man fears three things: a sea under a storm, a moonless night, and the anger of a kind man.

Be wise.
