A Box of Truth
I bought a box of truth from a peddler down the street,
even though he told me its veracity might sting.
I handed him a stack of bills and asked for a receipt.
 
The box was wrapped in violet silk and tied with silver string.
I gripped the...

The Benchwarmer
Sweet mother loves sitting on a bench,
the spray painted seat she only knew!
By the sea, she oft let her spirits clench 
to the lore of love where I once grew.

She watches seagulls dive for a quench,
as waves predispose to catch her view;
sweet mother loves sitting...

Take a Shot From There
Take a pure shot from where you stand
and print me just the way I am

with no added colour of admiration, 
3D effects of willingness, 
or glossy prints of encouraging stimulus
	
For where I stand,
has no milky waterfalls, nor honey forestry
but
Silky anger and honey foretaste of the...

Damage
I tell you that love happened first,
In order
In that order— which is to be opened,
Flayed the heart that at first flinched 
When the soul would blench at the sound of your voice 
That once was love, turned destroyer,
You ask me if it was the chicken...

My Princess
Even if earthquake pound, and the ground tremble,
 And people scramble, tumble and rumble, I will not grumble, but ramble,
 Clinging softly, carefully, lovely, a sprig, sprawling a virgin rose,
 Like guest, to west, with zest, to show my best and give my princess her...

The Garden
The garden so beautiful in itself,
Was surely one that never looked the worse.
Most beautiful in the world, 
But it held an evil curse.

The story was long ago,
Bewitched by all to tell.
But in a dark and lonely night, 
Is when the madness fell.

I was just a...

An Emotional Journey
I seem to have forgotten how happy
I greeted time, although it lasted briefly;
youth is that phase of life when every thought
is free and delightful allowing imagination to take flight!

I've been transformed into someone dazed
by thoughts of unsympathetic awareness
and without emotion, I blench
driven by feelings of...

Premium Member Pale Shelter
I who am…insipid, vapid bland, inadequate life
My life halfhearted I am uninspired
I am Spiritless in a place of safety refuge
I am for certain, I need,
a deed to land in life and death
How chosen are we
When the blood flows out
Still and solid I am No longer...

Premium Member You'Re What Makes Me Flinch-
jump bad, jump back wince
hid I around the corner
surprised recoiled quake

shiver, tremble, shake
boo!  to you ha made you jump
bla! made you cower

cringe, squirm, quiver, blench
you jump made you hesitate
withdrawn shudder shrink

made you stop and think
shy away, drawback withdraw
boo! Ha! made you flinch


through shock, fear,...

Of A Pen And A Book
Book by book,
I see the hook,
How about we have a look,
Don't make me choke,
I am with a bottle of Coke,
I hear a creek,
I am not a Greek,
The shrubs are on a bleak,
Glistened by the sleek,
I soften my cheek,
Keep me in check,
For the high-tech,
I smell a...
