Best Cards On The Table Poems


Premium Member The Guardian At the Gate
Spawn of the arcane, glutted, she sprawls upon the sands 
of mythos. As victims, star-crossed lovers, outcasts,
we have all seen the traces of these nether lands.
Sphinx-like, besotted, she lays among the bodies dashed.

A pixie smith has cast her silver chains, retained her
inside this mystic plane,...

Premium Member Poke Her
They agreed to go to their favorite hangout and cigars.

Once they were seated the waiter said that the restaurant had a deal on Italian wine.

In the beginning  it was easy, turn the cold shoulder for a few days.

And that was followed by fantastic sex.

He...

Premium Member Wonderland II: The Hatter's Tale
Morning At Work

Impaired by his tremors
And a troublesome cough,
He turned fur into felt
Before cooling things off.

He drooled once or twice
And grew cold in his bones,
But he shaped all the felt
Into all of the cones.


Noon

His 'venomous vipers'
Grew restless again
And woke as the toxins
Played games with his...

Premium Member Forks
A few lines about forks upon the table
Fondue's pronged fork for fingers habile 
A taste of life's flavored torgues
Babes brought by the stork
Tough, old meat
Forks
Fork for cake
Tines just for wine corks
Roads that fork and life uncorks
In the end only two tines are stable
A few lines...

Make America Great Again Huh
"Let's Make America Great Again!" *Sigh*
Great catch phrase! But...It's a ruse!...It's a lie!
Let's put the cards on the table! Shall we...Why?
(Your Brothers and Sisters will probably die!)
The words are the shallows of a deeper intent
Meant to allure, with a 'come hither' scent
Confusing the people, hardening...

Principal Clown
He walks around with his nose pointing upward in the air
With calculating eyes that are so fearful, mouth moving from side to side and a tongue that keeps twisting around the things that are profound. Nonsensical words are constantly dripping from his lips
Only heavens know...

Wolf In Seep's Clothing
For a moment I lived in fear of the hourglass
It's funny how quickly those feelings can pass
Because now I cant seem to get away from you fast enough
You have a world class poker face, I almost missed your bluff
But I'm calling it out, all chips...

The Corner Bar
A man walks into a bar
and throws all of his cards on the table
his best, his worst,
all of his moments 
and dreams
spilling out
with him in a pool of blood,
tears,
vomit, 
piss,
and a laugh,
and a stumble,
and a moment of angelic grace,
when he touches the sky
with a bit...

Fox In the Fable
Fox in the fable all cards on the table
My life fits well in Pandora's box
A heart refusing a steady beat
With confusion, it pounds and knocks

When to pay the piper
The fear I face everyday
Like man standing before a sniper
Whose about to have his head blown away

I've...

The look in Your Eyes
Every time I look into your eyes you make me want to smile, every time I look into your eyes, I see something that is deep and no one else can compete; the universe is running after thee and they cannot catch with you;

I Love Him Tho
"I hate you" I said. 
"I feel the complete opposite." He replied.
That's how he won my heart. Well atleast a piece of. He had won me over for a minute now. He knew how life was going and after a good hour of catching up....

Un-Holy War
It’s called “Holy War”, “Jihad”,
Murder in the name of God.
Don’t you think that’s odd?
But what is a “Holy War”?
But a contradiction in terms for sure.

Since Caine killed Able,
The cards on the table,
Read “Dead Man’s Hand”.
Blood in the sand,
And blood on the Sun
By fools and tyrants...

You've dealt your last hand to me,  deciding what needs to be done, knowing I should run. I sit with high hopes.
When will I win a simple spot in your life, I'm playing for keeps but your just gambling with broken sections of my...

The Peace Keeper
peace. sought and desired. lost, often found.
cards on the table: leaving out millions of dice.
rolling and wearing the pattern,
believing trouble to be far behind.

odd. never knew time would tell a lie.
thinking of trouble: laying a path to your name.
seeking and trying your patience,
putting obstacles up...
