Allusion Poems | Examples

Egalite

It's been a while since I've prayed for someone I don't know
A siren brought the mind afoot to somewhere I should go
'sif wakening vestigial impulse buried long ago
Sunk deep beneath incline that's keeping me from what's below

But something in our makeup made up by a stronger hand
Is there if we but care for care and follow it's command
For even when we scraped our knuckles 'cross a barren land
We somehow knew alone alone is not how we were planned

Putrid Perfidity

If kiss should meet Kismet
Let not the bet be shallow
Nor all the treasure of this time
Become a promise hollow

For kisses can take 'way one's breath
In ecstasy or sentence
Choose wisely who you turn to face
Lest death become tomorrow

If time and temperment embrace
The face of what's surreal
It's up to those equipped to face
The task…  before the sorrow

Raw Saw - CM




    Raw emotion
                     
                     Sure devotion  ~


PURE LIGHT


          


          Only within nakedness 
             we can find
                pure light.

Her Death

Her Death
-The trigger lay steady and sardonic in the hands of the ready stalker.
-She lays unaware , a spot for each grand representation of naiveness in her hair.
Full of innocence-didn’t even have chance to mature. For the hunter was to ensure the value of her fur, by stripping her bare of what she had earned.
-she was nothing more than her new found horror

Silence

Title: Silence
Written  javascript  thepoet
Silence
if silence could speak
loud than words
it would echo through my eaching born
it would speak a language of the unknown
a myth to yet discovered, it would 
unvilled like the hidden cloth of secret barried to human eyes
it would creep around the darkness just to feet
in the silent moment of untold story
silence
An emotion that has no motion.
it screams when all is in mute
 silence is eyes that can see;
Lungs that can breathe, and ears that can hear;
For silence sees what no body can bear to see;
In that moment of silence

Silence is like a  voice washed in waves of tranquility its Without words but  yet special in verse and rhyme
Hidden in nature’s .silence is the grace  within the art like whistle in the dark
 embraces your fear
as It deepens your tear

 its like death  brought to life
It’s a moment of silence
a fear behind the strength
a sound more piercing then anything


FREE THOUGHTS


           


Spring becomes tender
Poetically laughs and cries
with the first fruits of arrival
with the finality of departure...

Your body, with pleasure
like a flower opens into petals
when I skillfully touch you...

This simple life of ours,
in grandeur, does indeed blossom,
when we weave ourselves in nobility...

To truly love is:
to provide attentive ears,
to offer obliging arms...!

Life always becomes art,
canvas, palette, action...
in the mystery of creation!

Wine can be:
oily, full-bodied, fruity...
sine qua non; good grape, good wine!

Premium Member I come to bury Charlie Kirk, not to praise him

I come to bury Charlie Kirk, not to praise him.
I’ve heard his words hurt millions, but that that didn't faze him,
that he took Jesus’ words about sowing division to heart,
and is said to have use them to help tear our world apart.
So, as for my praise ~ I'll wait till I see how history does appraise him.

another universe

some loves bout lost come go almost all sorts
motives  remain true pure until find not 
list least cain hope fewer no good reports
still life like love moves backing forth cold hot 
back outing again own each such sigh wish
loss lasts long gone fast run use eye oui next
stuff split rough two there one bright here blue dish
but still be same unself self sans pretext
wait patient fourth floor first ready confess
one day then now was dreamed real life unfold
four most seven great death comes not success
some would telling  kisses end life untold
try may believe yes if not near reverse
mind conceives lives another universe

catching cocoa creams

  


Venus  dropping  chandelier dreams 

        Jupiter glides catching cocoa creams ~

glide forth transmutation



   
lymph drops glisten diamond formation 

          
            topaz glide froth transmutation ~

Frozen in Time

Frozen in Time

For seventy years and counting,
Every photograph and every newsreel,
Every home movie and every video,
I feature distantly frozen in time.
Millions if not billions of images,
I am invisible but none the less there.
Yes, I am seen in the family album,
Snapshots of change growing older.
My fascination lies in the background,
Ever present but rarely in sight.
Lurking in the shadow of others,
Is this too deep, what does it mean.

Premium Member Sins and Grins

There's grave expectations, that's haunting the grave

All platitudes bought, no attitudes saved

The myth in the mist, you insist, you're not a slave

You preach no luster, no light, nor hope..."your" pathway is paved


So go on, grin my friend, again and again 

Cuz you swallowed the light, then you wallowed in sin

You'll pray, well, you might, on knees that you bend

Then you'll sin once again, with that same silly grin

Premium Member us and them

divide and conquer 
the power of one percent
exactly where they want us
conveniently hell bent

READING FOUCAULT


         





RETHINKING FOUCAULT

Just as a verse comes from verses,
a song comes from songs...
Text comes from texts,
Everything comes from the whole,
nothing is just an extract
of what already exists and has...
Everything is in place... and just copy and paste...
Of course, transforming, assembling
the story to taste...
But the new fact doesn't exist
nothing exists new...
But there is knowledge,
the innate talent!
Archimedes, renowned scientist
exclaimed his Eureka!
upon finding the "solution"
to a complex proof,
in a general field or mathematics...
Later, in a less long-lived stage,
well before the calends
Shakespeare, the theatrical wizard,
confirmed this missing piece for us!
A non-blatant copy of the plagiarism
perpetrated disguised by
his abysmal talent...
Nothing is created, everything is copied
nothing new and so new
the genuine is old, ancient
everything comes from the one!
... ALEA JACTA EST
 ready! AND DONE "
