Cracking As Broken Toys
Picking up my phone, the voice recalls my memories
Sweet talker across the line, hey... it's been a while
Days running, things change, here we are aloof in our boundaries

Trapped within our history, now we play the role of our guile 
The way you speak is like negating...

Premium Member Cracking the Mirror Each Time
keeps butting her head against the same mirror
it cracks and breaks finally
so she finds another one as close to it as possible

Same scenario, 
Same scripts
Same arguments.

This mirror leaves too
Why do all the mirrors leave me? She asks.
The cat has no answers. Just glad to get...

Cracking Open Geodes of Insanity
Cracking open geodes
-- of insanity

a shimmering humanity...

Shining fractals of ones soul.

Opened and vulnerable
like a new seed.

Scintillating stars
gleam from within
with new needs sprouting
from each new seed....

This Earth Is Cracking
In USA, 
There is a presidential election fight, 
Well, everything seems to be alright, 
It might be alright, everything seems tight, 
Sometimes, I dream of a red sky, 
The earth is cracking, 
I'm slowly dancing
On your sweet love floor.

Turkey
Sends bombs for free into Syria, on...

God Is Cracking Down
I broke one of God's Commandments when I stole an extension cord.
I was struck by a bolt of lightning because I angered The Lord.
God is cracking down on people who break his Ten Commandments.
You'd better listen to what I'm saying because it makes a lot...

Horror Cracking Through
When horror knocks on the door

Slips through the cracks and enters the body, mind, soul

Fast like an avalanche

Traveling at million speeds 

It’s the same long forgotten nightmare

Every Breath

Every Whisper

Every Sound

Becomes too familiar

When falling hard to the cement

The shouts, the screams, the reminiscences

All comes too fast

Then...

Crumbling Cracking Crushed
an impossibility. so it seems. 
how did we get to where we are?
An impossibility. ripped at the seams. 
How did I let my heart get this far? 

Its an impossibility to breath without pain. 
a sure probability that I wont be the same.

Cracking Tone
Come,
let me take you to Nigeria
for you to hear a faint echoes of corruption;
I will be your hearing ear for the night we
spend there-
When they ask you the time of change,
tell them the messiah shall come from the east
with a cup of wine and pieces...

Cracking Up
Anyone can crack up
Writers, santation workers , cops, 
right - wingers, left wingers
It is not a nice thing to happen 
But not the end of the world if you do 
Many people don't believe in poetry
But we at poetrysoup.com know better, don't we!!
Poetry is the...

I'M Cracking
I'm cracking fast, and I don't know what to do
I'm watching myself fall apart, and I'm loseing control
Everything I once knew seems like a big lie
Every dream I once had has crumbled before my very eyes
It seems I have nothing left in life
All I can...

Getting Cracking

There are times when I want a tutor
So I can use my most cruddy computer
Which to me is often always complicated
And for hours on end have forever hated.

Made plans poorly and not really well-laid
In for another computer, wish I could trade
That was beyond belief...
