Blame, blame, blame
makes playing life’s game so much easier to do…
Shift it, change it, switch it as long as it ain’t put on you.
Blame, blame, blame
Mom’s the easiest target…
since dad I never knew.
Blame, blame, blame
Let others wear the shame…
As you rip a beat/ freestyle...

Cement Seedling
I don't need very much to stay alive,
a little urban rain from time to time.
It's not luxurious, here in the ground,
but I'm content with it, this life of mine.

There's not a lot for me to view from here;
the iron forest always sees to that.
It must...

Dandelions and Cement Cracks
.


After the world has bottomed you up
like a brown bag, no label wine.
All. Day. Long.
Plopping your worn glass, 
empty, on a Whirlpool cardboard box...
Absorbing, drying
all once-upon-a-time, 'Made In China', 
condo-walled dreams.

Your buddy, 'Thunderbird', twitches whiskers
over glistening gutter teeth.

Dandelions in cement cracks.

Ah, life is good. Sleep...

Wings Struck In the Cement
In the midst of detritus ,rubbles and silt,
dirth powder flaring along the wind,
lashings of cement neath the tin,
were drawn two fingerprints.

A red cap moved from pillar to post ,
Jumping and squeaking among log woods,
Streaching his arms and bending his limbs ,
Twirling his lips to make...

Premium Member Cement
either drown with me or let me in,
let me in, let me in, let me in, let me in, let me in,
my tears hit the cold lonely paved cement,
and feel like cement, 
and taste like cement, 
and stick to my skin 
like cement, but, 
let...

The Architect Ode To An Orange Cement Mixer
Ideas become reality in your belly
Raw ingredients are added for effect
Laboured limbs inject liquid food
It begins, sounds signal transformation

A cacophony of notes orchestrate
A fusion of materials cleverly made
Atoms collide as water subsides
Dry mixture almost expertly tied

Your creation up to imagination
Never the master of your own...

Westbury Cement Tower
On the occasion of the Westbury Cement Works tower being demolished ...


Farewell then Westbury cement works tower,
No longer over south wilts will your presence glower,
Once you were used by Lafarge
But now you'll be gone, just like Farage....

Cement Shoes
With a heavy heart,
the sorrow in it 
feels 
           all
	       hope
            is
sinking

And with my last breath,
I’m gonna tell...

He looked at me.
I saw him through the slats.
His eyes brighter than the moon,
Smile as pink as a rose.
From that moment I knew....

Cement Overcoat
Two Wiseguys have locked me in their car trunk and are taking me for a ride.
In just a little while from now, those two men will commit homicide.
I was an eyewitness and I was going to testify.
But the Mafia captured me and now I will...

Premium Member Bricks and Cement
Laying brick by brick, with stickum in between.
A stone on top of another: dream quest and scene,
erected diligently, with a blueprint at the ready.
Each dot and line progression is sure and steady.

Despite storms, hurdles, and limited funding
With slow but steady aims, slanted rashly cunning,
with optimism,...

Cement-Tarry
Fearing a turn in the wrong direction
he stands still..
Frozen by his lack of confidence
he lost hope.

All directions
lead to failure.
All directions
are frightening.

Yet standing still
he is torn apart.
He wants to move
but defies himself.

Shamefully crying
he weeps alone....

From high a silent body fell,
     another...then...another.
Someone's father...someone's
mother...husband...grandpa...
     sister...brother.

They fell into the clouds
     that day
caught by angels on 
     their way.
Can our tears be also
    ...
