Best Attaching Poems


Premium Member Above Forever

Biting into the dead,  
he tastes  the aftertaste of burnt ashes!
The meal of her emotions,
buried alive within silken strands.
Blood inside sorrow burning,
sweet desire weeping...
Yet, it cannot possibly extinguish his pain.

Bleeding heartbreaks do not expire.
His eternal torment is fortified.
Into two pieces he is equally divided.
One who feels he has his back against the wall!
The other who has not a care.
Free falling teardrops,
salted within life's passionate carnage.
Nails in his mouth for he is iron born,
attaching beauties have felt his plunging sword.

His sanctuary is a dream catcher.
He's stuck inside it's Web,
hanging there above forever,
until she takes his last breath away.
Always now, in this moment was he formed.
Long before time, he was destined to be hers 

Until they meet again his heart pauses.
He will not know eternal glory,
until her love courses through his veins!
As he has promised, he will succumb to her  
The angels then will sing 
Rejoicing bells will ring out grateful notes
Both will finally atone for their sins!

A collaboration with Liam Mcdaid. Thanks for accepting my invitation.

When Liam first sent over his verses I had no idea where we would end up.

I thought you might find the process of interest. Here are the words Liam started us off with. 

Biting into the dead  remains of ashes burnt  
buried alive blood inside sorrow burning 
sweet desire weeps bleeding heartbreaks 
in two divided one who has had the back against a wall 
Freefalling teardrops within life's passion 
nails in the mouth attacking beauties sanctuary 
a dream catcher stuck inside a Web 
hanging there forever 
until you take my last breath away 
always yours until we meet again 
eternal glory as angels will sing 
rejoicing bells ring grateful

I hope you enjoy the inside look.

Premium Member Dreamtime: My Exorcism

I invented something quite peculiar
Last night
In my lucid dream

My neo commanded my allo-cortex
To prepare allusions to be downloaded
Upon returning to my physical presence 

Caught in middle-sleep, guardians of satan
Were mocking the death and resurrection
Of Jesus Christ, shouting and laughingly
Pronouncing God The Father and Jesus
The Son as "the two lunatics"

Every direction I faced, the 'alien race'
Of towering blondes blocked my escape

Knowing I had lucidly dreamt a downloadable
File to be recovered once awake, I summarily
Accomplished this by attaching a small device
To the frontal-lobe side of my skull and

Activated the sensory-absorbing module

Instantly slipping back into my lucid dream
Allowing edits to be re-programmed

I was able to disrupt the satanic bonds
Holding me captive and cast out the
Demons that possessed me

Declaring the Lord Jesus Christ as my
Savior and Ruler of the Light that shall
Set man free!

Once again returning to my physical realm
I was even more determined to

Spread
His
Love
Upon
The World!

Justin Thyme

Staring in the mirror when I'm down with these scissors I found. 
With my wrists out and prescription lids littered around. 
I've scribbled out a bitter letter in wicked accounts and written down twisted sentences in crimson. 
I drown in no bounds it got me tripping out grouchy for outlets.
Now my hound pulls at my trousers.
When I'm face down drowsy with a mouth full of downers.
I'm pale looking clownish.
I ain't clowning around, see my self esteem floundering.
Out for the count as hells demons seen prowling around me proudly twisting and dancing entrancing.
Slipping away fast last vision left glancing enhanced with a mixture of doubt.
Knowing there's no one to laugh with and be found here alone with a sinister frown. 
I've got to get out.
Haunted in this mysterious house that time forgot. 
A place where damp rises and shrouded in all types of moss and lichen, rotting with the slime from condensation.
A sodden formed Forrest where I'm under sedation. 
A clock work decision I watch myself gazing transfixed on my mission across amazing mazes.
As dreams fade into sight I stay silently praying.
Embracing the night watching day light escaping.
Remain in this safe haven I'm taken away safely remaining unshaken, grey and unshaven, eight shades of my aura shadows the ravens.
The creature with talons and the beak of eagle seen clutching a talisman to defeat it's evil.
I see through people. Phycic and tight lipped. 
Leaving hindsight to guide you through life is wisest.
Am I dying or buying my time in this crises like I'm finally deep in abyss. 
Analysing my past thinking did I even exist.
Forever with bliss since I slipped away tearful
Surviving myself I won't ever be fearfully trapped in this labyrinth with Pan and he knows me ghostly he came close cosey and held me closely through apocalypse start  dropping atom bombs not stopping Babylon.
God got him banished like exhiled angels deep into faranheit heat like my minds a scotch bonnet. 
The child of the scorch trials in the maze at night.
Was made strict then was bitten by count
Dracula.
Come the blood sucker parasite cancerous  spanning round my brain like the legs of a tarantula. 
Tendrils gargantuan. 
Attaching the canula straight from the ambulance. 
Inserting the catheter.
Wired like capacitors.
Body kept alive with 240 volt adaptors.

Premium Member Baby Blue Jeans

 She wears her kindness,
a full length gown
 as if it were a pair of baby blue jeans
 soft in color, tough in its fabric.

She is adorned in silk 
refracts incoming ideas 
produces her own.

Like the shimmer 
of this same silk 
she is brilliant!

Her embrace is boundless.
Her exuberance unmatched.

She is "music".
Paints with the bold strokes of her guitar,
the perfect pitch of her voice, natures smile.

She is an original,
nothing like you.
She is  passionate,
exactly like you.
She offers all this, more.
Chooses you.

"I love her with every fiber..."

Often I wonder.

With so many beautiful words
 attaching themselves so easily to women
why would any man ever need to lie...

Why Kill - Inspired By Jallianwala Bagh Poem By Tom Cunningham

I don't understand why people kill
That too without feeling bad about it
Why are wars needed?
How does it matter if area of a country is small?
Why expand?
What purpose does it serve?
Common man merely wants to earn and eat
He seeks his happiness. 

When an army person shoots many dead
Doesn't he feel for their families
Only breadwinner dead, child orphaned, a widow.
Does government bother?
What will a country gain by attaching another?
No purpose is served!
All money amassed only gives more tension
In the end we all are going to die leaving behind every penny earned.
Why not live happily instead of trying to prove we are the best
For every bad we do, punishment is ordained
We get back what we give
Fear the law of nature, don't sin

How can a tear not move anyone?
How can anyone be bad?
It is beyond my understanding.
If I hurt someone with my words, I feel bad
I have never beat my son. I can't
But many murder, torture mercilessly
Doesn't their conscience prick?
Do they live with peace of mind after that?
Why?Why should anybody do anything bad when it can be easily avoided
What are they trying to prove?
A momentary act, lifelong regret, results of karma's make our life only miserable
Is it worth it?

To be criticized life long
To go down the annals of history as a murderer.
Or to be remembered for your goodness
Choice is ours. 

Bit of self-control helps prevent a sin.

Note : This poem poured out from within after I read Jallianwala Bagh poem written by Tom Cunningham. That poem brought tears in my eyes and then I wrote this.

A Life of Love and Light

Approaching life with love

Lived with an open heart,

Irrespective of others differences

Fundamentally shining light,

Everyone welcome to join me,

Oneness and unity on mass

Favouring love over hate,

Lighting a path and a way to

Omniscient love in this world,

Vehemently embracing unity

Everything equal as it ought to be,

Attaching ourselves more to peace,

Negating hate, war and jealousy

Dedicating our time to betterment,

Lifting up the whole of humanity

Irresistibly the light is drawing me

Great fully exposing the love in me

Highlighting just how life can be

Trusting in the love and the light.

Trick Or...Treat?

There once was a Leo from St. Paul.
Who attended a masquerade ball.
My friend thought he would risk it
and came dressed as a biscuit.
An Aries Lab chomped him up in the hall!




Was unsuccessful attaching the Zodiac sign.

Premium Member Gutter Frogs

The neighborhood has been going, to every variety of dogs.
But I simply can’t believe it… We now have Gutter Frogs!
They climb upon my windowsills, and also among the trees.
They climb up my patio screen, is there nothing, they don’t see!

Nightly nestling in my window gutter, where they have safely gone.
My hubby says that he can’t sleep, with so much racket going on!
Shiny, and oh so sleek, unlike any other toad, are these little blokes.
Perhaps I have been hasty. Their voices are only a cricket, not a croak.

Unlike my Hubby’s snores, they are way more soothing, yes, by far!
Perhaps there is no reason, for us, that we must now, declare a war.
But no! I must revise, as the gutters surely do need, to be cleaned.
So up the ladder Hubby did climb, as he now, had a full head of steam.

But, yes, life is never simple, and that seems to be… our very own lot.
They had watched our environmentalist son, as he studies and he plots.
‘Save the Gutter frogs!’ Became their banner song, which truly did evolve!
Alas! What’s worse! They are asking, an environmental study, to be done! 

They quoted conservationists, and several even chained themselves to our home.
I’ve heard of save the Whales and trees, but now will it be… the gutter frogs?
This is their habitat! What will be next… a nest of new age lawyer gutter frogs?
Evolution has come quite far, as they mentioned a protest, to visit city hall!

We finally did concede! We could share this house and land, which we do own.
As Hubby descended the ladder… Yes! He was covered in jubilant gutter frogs.
Then to make things right, we made for each, an adorable wattle and stick home.
Attaching them along the top, of the gutters, that they could now, play upon.

The gutter frogs agreed to keep the gutters clean, in return, we will let them be. 
The moral is: No matter who is right! We can live together, if we only try, you see!

Regeneration 7

"Regeneration 7"

The stories 
like leaves
flew fast from 
the Tree of Life

on each leaf
seeds dispersed
like memories
detaching, attaching

to others’ stories
breathing empathy

to walking dreams
the frisson shined
to still life
new life, 

arrived;

regeneration 
7

Premium Member Pet-Sit Panics

"Pet Sit"

When one is involved in  “Pet-Sit Panic,”
And all goes wrong you become quite frantic.
  Bull dog mated Pekinese,
  The union contacted fleas.
Simple mistakes, but  problems gigantic.

Just no way to hid all the evidence.
Pekinese scratching while climbing a fence. 
  The bull dog has swooned,
  Barking at the moon,
Homesteading the front door, bolting against. 

The only thing left in this race of mine,
Getting passed a swooning bull dog’s front line.
  Female gnawing and scratching,
  As embryos attaching, 
Make haste to the vet. for a pill in time.

Nothing Personified

I have never thought of death.
Well, that's not true. Everyone
does at a time. A peopled perishing
 
if you will. We constitute it
with sickles or in a carriage
or call him soft names. Man
 
versus death; man conquers
this nothing by attaching arms,
ears, heart so it may feel its indifference
 
resonating like fingernails on fiberglass.
The great human figure, now
cyclical of its mortal fragility.
 
Were our endeavors false,
these simulacra, these apparitions
beset gaily on their creator?
 
Like a cement plant, are we
indebted to the dust made
by our hands, and fills our lungs?
 
All I know is
it's an inconceivable sadness to think
I have never thought of death.

I Am

I Am

I am who I am, chasing me into the future of
who I want to be.
Running, running trying to catch my imagination as 
it focuses on attaching itself to my hopes and dreams.
I am who I am, watching all of this as my hopes and 
dreams run screaming to my goals, trying to get the 
attention of my success.
I am who I am, shinning in the mind of the sun and
bathed in the midnight comfort of succeeding in the best 
of what I thought, helped by the warmth of 
determination, and finalized with a blessing.
I am who I am, because I was made by God to be...
who I am.

Premium Member Silent Killer

It courses through the blood
hidden from view it seeks out
the T-cells attaching itself
it silently goes to work

Invading and taking over
not caring if it's host
be a young person or old
killing of the white cells

Your gender it cares nothing for
or if you are straight or gay
insidiously it can hide for years
a master of disguise it patiently waits

Growing stronger all the time
breaking down the body's defences
it corrupts turning cells alien
not caring that as it slowly kills

That eventually it will too die
that as it completes its invasion
leaving a sick body open to attack
covered with open sores and abrasions

This silent killer in murdering you
does itself meet its own doom
dying along with its host
will we ever find a real cure?

This is about Aids/ HIV though it could also refer to cancer HIV is ingenious in
its ability to hide itself inspires by Harlan Coben's book Miracle cure

Premium Member Painting Voices

Painting Voices
                   by Odin Roark

How indelible
These frequencies abounding
Filling our senses with color
Defending our spirit with aura

Voices speak
Sing
Chirp
Bellow
Crosshatching endless layers

How personal their colors
Sounds of red
Yellow
Green 
And blue

Diminuendos to crescendos 
Weaving and blending
Curling and attaching
Mixing hues of sonance
Into the kaleidoscopic surrounding we absorb
To make into our own palettes

How lightning gray
The subway shriek
The yellow/blue
Of a lone sparrow
The crimson red
Of a Pavarotti high C 

Would that the world might create
A global canvas harmonized 
By colors of passion
Love
And peace
Even as they sort out
The dissonant vibrations
Of a Pollock guise

To allow our blue/gray tempest rage beneath
To surface and become one
With the purity of white
To know that the reflection of all color
Cannot be known
Without the awareness of black

Painting voices
Pulsation needing only whisper’s hue
To truly hear and see
