Premium Member My Tell-Tale Heart- Twist On Poe
It wasn’t that I’d done you wrong
I'd welcomed you into my heart’s home
I'd cherished you
and I had fed you 
I'd protected you
I had let you dream your dreams
in comfort
in safety
and I had loved you:
You were my own

And yet….
day upon day,
you waited for the opportunity
to confess
knowing...

Premium Member Frazzled
Teach and study, cook and clean
Write a poem in between
All the chores and daily life
Perfect Mom, half decent wife

Work and work and dream and dream
Scrub the tub in shower stream
Want to travel here and there
But I’m stuck and full of care

Write and write, and feel...

My Emancipation
My Emancipation 

The convoluted misconceptions concocted in your chaotic mind
Will no longer deaden, dim, nor darken  the light that I shine

Constantly minimizing and compromising, the extent of my plight 
I’m stepping out of your dark shadow; I’m stepping into the light

Hiding behind these disguises,...

Premium Member Rainbow Dreams - Co Authored
Rainbows are smiles when the rain tumbles down
My heart is showering as all my sorrows do drown
Every dew drop glistening, delivered from heaven.
Rainbows are smiles when clouds are deaden

When nature shines, our goodness grows
Trusting in the soil to nurture us so
With a sky filled with...

Premium Member The Haunted Bride
In the night's chilling air a phantom figure, drags itself from
The watery edge of the river bank, emerging, rising upward
From beneath the moonlight's illumination, she is free, to walk
The earth's spiritual plain of existence once more.
In soaked layers shifts, of tatters whiten lace, the corporeal

Premium Member Self Inflicted
Tongue lashings are bitter
  they hurt and injure
Gnawing at both the heart
  of victim and abuser
With each hostile strike
  both hearts bruise and deaden
Hostility a most deadly poison
  injected as cheeks redden

No word of a lie striking a chord
You live by...

Premium Member The Scent of Water
THE SCENT OF WATER

Forlorn, distance roots between you and I;
Carve 'neath fire silhouettes buried grief;
Burn then blurred by irrational mischief;
Has crimson love gone pale and soon may die?
Trampled with reasons leaving us tongue tie;
Falling, slowly falling, is marriage leaf...
Amor   ebbing   ,...

Premium Member One Holy Mess
The human race speaks of a faraway place called heaven
no doubt there, they’ll breathe easy knowing some still care,
yet to flee from incarnation’s mask, anxious tears so many have to share,
for while we have but a limited time here,
hunger for and pay homage to that...

Premium Member Is It Normal
is it normal to sear the soul
to let the dormant hate control

Is it normal to mar the mind
with daggered words dipped in "unkind"

Is it normal to hunt the heart
with gleeful zest to maim a part

Is it normal to lampoon love
make it a joke; give it...

Premium Member Nostalgic Mood
Faraway from my motherland
Blend with the alien bands
I feel sad and lonely
My native language flees 

In different horizon I stay
The sorrow stings nights and days
With dull and deaden sense
My homesick is immense

In a strange space I stay
Think to the birth-land faraway
The sweet voice of my...

What's Your Name?
Its simply remarkable, the excitement I feel
When I am blessed with your dominating presence
I am easily drawn to you and immediately lost within you
Traveling glorious heights exploring the depths of many heavens
The sight of you promotes intense anticipation and extreme anxiety
Umm…I am easily overwhelmed by...

Premium Member Insidious
One somber summer  night
darkness descended
to destroy and deaden
a dappled candle on the table.

A soulless silver smile
turned gray and tarnished
and your eyes that once aglow 
lost its luster and life
for it was destined
to falter and fade forever. 

Now, a child within me weeps~
as sepulchral silence...

Premium Member Wilting Beneath Withered Wishes
Drained and dried by life then left to die
She lived to love; but oft was left to cry
Counseled to carry on she continues 
Shriveling as to She'ol her heart schuss

Holding on to hopes a hazard in her eyes
Immature and imbecilic it implies
Weary from wishing an...

Lyrical Assassination
Conviction so precise, I launch missiles of truth
Indestructible rhymes, unbreakable and shatterproof
 
Infiltrating your foundation and breaching your walls
Collapse on your composure cause your conscience to fall
 
I can convert your beliefs, cause philosophical treason
Alter your perception like the changing of seasons
 
Cutting down your...
