We Never Even Got to the Alter
We Never Even Got to the Alter I hug your ghost as we fall asleep Something blue and something to keep But your ghost soon fades in invisible shades And the lilac daisy ring Hides somewhere forgotten On the twined made up daisy string. The memory goes away and all the pained ones too. As I hear you wonder If...

Bloodstained Alter
Red on the marble floor a silent witness to the horror Her blood pools at the altar a stark testament to my sin Her body lies lifeless once so full of grace Now broken bruised deprived of love’s embrace I stand frozen disbelieving the weight of what I’ve done crushing me A priest’s collar tight around my neck a smoking gun heavy in my hand She came to the...

Satanic trip!
Satanic trip!... I’m sat here wonderin’ why my thoughts align, With the dark, like Satan’s mind. Is it fate or just a sign, That my brain’s like his, And on a twisted grind? Darkness creeps in, a hellish find, Satanic whispers, leaving me blind. I thought he was one, but we're two of a kind, When on DMT, our souls combined. Vaping the void, darkness seeping in, Thinking like Satan, the world’s forsaken. Reality...

I asked my alter ego Why I’m so tired today? It says that’s not illegal Stay tired if you may I said but I don’t need to I want some energy And you don’t seem to do Any support for me My alter ego smiled Calm down you naughty boy The reason you are tired Is what you should enjoy Your working days are over And everyday’s...

The old fart alter cocker shuffle
The old fart (alter cocker) shuffle as one fairly long run on sentence unwittingly made locally famous courtesy residents here at Highland Manor Apartments as first one foot and then the other painstakingly, and agonizingly dragged across the cement walkway making absolutely sure the entire foot touches the ground, (analogous to geriatric version of the hokey pokey) made like toe tilly particularly more...

Premium Member Alter Ego of a domestic violence survivor
You left me all alone again in the therapist office we went over all the scenarios what we would say but there you were stunned knowing your head was bashed in your lip still bleeding from his brown fist you said nothing holding your arm while the pain crawled down your back and again he'll...

Premium Member Lissa Marie
I was a child, peering down, down into my soul’s abyss, a sterile kingdom by the Dead Sea. She was also a child, my loveless alter ego a glass jar not even half full. Our love was too vacuous to harbor affection or hope. My alter ego, Lissa Marie. She was...

Description of An Alter Ego
A stupid question that lingers in the back of my head Pools in my mouth, on the tip of my tongue as if I were to get an answer My gaze burns into the white wall, maybe if I stared hard enough I would be able to catch a passing glimpse of a variation of me...

I've had an 'out of body' experience So you can't blame me for what I did My alter ego Oscar perpetrated the crime To do such a thing I'm too timid I'm totally innocent of this heinous act Must have been devoid of all morals Listen I still do have a few of them left With that you surely can't quarrel This heinous...

Premium Member Dreams of An Alter Ego
I make a perfect dry martini, I read and write and speak Français, All my suits, and shirts, and shoes are custom-made. I own a Porsche and Maserati, A house on Acapulco Bay With scores of floors of marble tile that's all inlaid. I have a staff to fetch and carry, My every wish is their command, If I drop things, I just...

My Alter Ego
Together, side by side, Shoulder to shoulder, One destination, one path, Sparkles in our eyes Winds in our hairs Two hearts beating as one, We walked a synchronized walk At even pace, at an even tempo Smiles on our lips Under a brilliant blue sky with warm spring sunshine carrying us aloft on the wings of the breeze, With love in our hearts We were poised to soar...

A Hug Can Alter Us
A hug means a bit of peace Inside, forgetting all pain A fragment of smile. A hug means arriving of spring Where bees and flowers absorb All the attention to loving, When the moon shares her glowing Light with a dark night is a hug, Nothing but love can alter A cruel heart to a soft lotus....
