The Black Poison Bottle
The Black Poison Bottle (very tight),
half full of arsenic, missed Halloween horror Movie Night.
She moped into another dimension in half-light
where everything was not allright, everything was in 5D. There was no comforting moonlight!
She says I’m so fun,
then claims that we’re done,
she says she hates me,
then wants my babies.
first she wants her man,
then says, “Go use your hand.”
She stares at my eves,
then says I’m full of lies.
The aggravation…
the resignation…
I think I’ve had enough
of her bipolar love.
Bipolar love.
She dreams of houses,
then only grouses,
wants to show me off,
then snaps, “Just get lost.”
One day she’s a dream,
and the next only screams,
How do I deal with that?
In love with only half...
The real confusion…
the sad delusions…
I think I’ve had enough,
of her bipolar love.
Bipolar love.
I want to love her,
and not be disturbed,
hope she gets well,
but half the time it’s hell.
It this allright?
Am I justified?
This is not her fault…
but drives me up the wall.
Mishmash of feelings…
it leaves me reeling…
I think I’ve had enough,
of her bipolar love.
Bipolar love.
Guiding Light
By LoLa
If i screamed out
could you hear me then?
If i fell down
would you come to take my hand?
Hearts like thunder
crashing in my ears again
Seeing your face
in a cold and distant land
As I look down
to the unsuspecting lights
Could I slow down
as the nightmares became true?
The call for my flesh
when I see the black of night
Cause I just miss you
and I know you miss me too
I see me changing
as the days turn into night
Your face is fading
so I turn to reach for home
out of the window
A voice says it will be allright
if i could see you again
I would call the great unknown
The scene is changing
you know i'm only here for you
My eyes are closing
How could I ever carry on?
Please take me with you
Wait for me where my soul is new
When darkness takes me
And my memories are gone
Watch as the seasons
Bring to me bright and sunny days
Give me a reason
Show me the melody; your song
I'll step away now
I know what you would have to say
I'm fading into
places where memories live on

HONORABLE MENTION
A bald cranium doesn't excite females generally - however, it just kills lovely maidens normally offended past quotation, realizing somehow that under valued wisdom - xenophilia - yields "zowie" !

Anacondas crush to pieces
Bisons sport long shaggy hair
Cheetahs are the fastest species
Dolphins leap into the air
Elephants have large incisors
Fennec foxes, ears like Spock
Great white sharks unnerve the divers
Hyenas are laughing stock
Indris is a type of monkey
Jaguars are fast and strong
Kangaroos are tall and clunky
Llamas' necks are rather long
Mandrills have red-bottomed features
Newts can grow an extra limb
Ostriches are speedy creatures
Polar bears just love to swim
Quetzels are ablaze with colour
Rattlesnakes subdue their prey
Sloths show life could not be duller
Tawny owls sleep through the day
Uakaris have red faces
Vultures scavenge on the go
Wild boar live in diverse places
X-ray tetra brightly glow
Yaks lock horns when in a fight
Zebras' coats are black and white
Now you'll know just who is who
When you visit London zoo.

Blinders
I see the blinders hiding me
Light finding gaps in reality
When it comes down to the end
I thought that I would find my friend
Cameos blaring on the stereo
My mind comes back to what it knows
Hierchy insanity rings my ears
Strange how we always find our fears
I’m the villain and the hero
As the clocks resets to zero
Your flash became my light
Now it’s dark and you’re not allright
It’s hard to find a change of course
When did the pain become so forced?
My edges seem to cut the good and the bad
Give me the peace; not chaos in a bag
I’m battle-tested and hardly rested
I’m a wild-card baby at my very best
So give me your hands and clench them tight
Stand with me in the battle of forgotten light
Let me have your head for a minute
I'll show you something in it
Do you want to see
You might wish I'd quit
I can show you I decree!
Do you believe me?
I think you do
Or we'll let it be
Your thoughts just flew
Don't be blue
It'll be allright
Just a hue
Nobody's fool
Not a tool
Supreme!
That's a rule
This ain't a dream
It's reality I mean
So, You can't believe?
This is no meme
Is it something you can't conceive
Not searching for a relieve
I'm that man
Once gone, Can't retrieve
Might be your plan
Trying to help if I can
Why?
Are you not a fan?
Of making your mind fly
Old ways, Bye, Bye
To me no matter
I won't cry
Old mindset, Do forget
On your mark, Get set
Go!
You'll win I bet
Let me know
If you let it go
Do you wanna win?
Let it flow
It's not all a sin
You'll know when you begin
So let's start
That's right grab the pen
Open your heart
Mental blocks, Away you part
Awake you are
Better than Wallymart
Are you aware?
Your soul must you bare
It'll be cool
Go ahead if you dare
Ain't asking for a fool
Ain't asking for a duel
Try if you want
No, Not a rule!
Dance of the Demons, Man what a sight
Moving with eerie rhythm into the light
Can't move frozen with fright
Do they see me? I think they might
If they come, I won't be allright
Seriously this ain't right
They can't end me! No not this night
They're confused if they think I won't fight
Pay her compliments to show you care.
Quote the lines that make her laugh and cry.
Remember love is something you can't buy.
Say, "Thank you for your love so rich and rare."
Though no man can be perfect, you can try.

Always been intrigued by the northern lights
A spectacular display from Mother Nature allright
Since I was a kid
Sure popped my lid
Ah! 'Twas the TV pattern, left it on overnight
It is ALLright, my brother
Clip on those wings
Your conflict is of
the greatest tragedy
I can feel your rage,
frustration of the hustle
Take on those wings
Ascend to the skies
Envision the dream
Our new Black Paradise
You are not your struggle
Go on, grow this hustle!
Breathe, climb higher!
Believe, glide through the fire
Channel the voice that roars within
Pummel the void that snares the weak
Clip on those wings and set to the skies
Seek out salvation, Black Paradise
Let off the channels of idiocracy
Hold onto hope as you set your sails
Look to the glory,
Glare beyond the skies
See the grand meaning, Black Paradise
It was more than a word
More vivid than a dream
A nation united, unified by peace
The dream of perfection,
The hope of freedom.
Still it evades us, Black Paradise
In the land of my Fathers
Lay the seeds of the earth
And with the sweat of our mothers
They suckled the plains
So grow forward my brothers
Set to the skies
Glide through the fire,
Black Paradise
You are - Gods light
You are - so might
Your love's - so huge
Enormous - Tremendous
Immense. Vastly I feel
your sense - I know
your heart's - been torn
apart
Your eyes so blue
your lips so full - Your kiss
so nourishing - so rich
so sustaining - Generous
Profound - Strong
Powerful - Your legs
so thin - So clear's
your skin - Your breasts
perfect - I can't
neglect - Miss
Fail - Loose
I've stopped
the booze
started to write
and feel allright
Your hands - so soft
Basement- to loft
Your touch - I miss
so much - Your voice
so gentle - tender
Delicate - Affectionate
Noble - Exquisite
Your laugh
is music
You're paradisic
If we just let go...
If we just let go
To not live in fear
To just go with the flow
I think the world may just be a better place
The world may... just turn out allright
Where peace could live and love could embrace.
If the soul is so dark that not even a sprinkle of white
Paint could cover it
What has become of our species...?
We cant just go with the flow
Sometimes it can be poisonous
We cant live fearless when danger is all around us .
Everybody is doing something for selfies reasons
The world might never be a better place
The world might never turn out to be allright
We can choos...
We can choose in which direction we want to go!
ambrosia…
bosoms climb desire’s ecstasy,
flesh grinds, heated in juicy kisses--
lips mounting, nibbling
often pagan… quivering rose
succumbs to unbuttoned virility; wanton…
x-marking yearning’s zest!
