A Breakaway
22 June 2010

A Breakaway

 
For mankind has the power to think big
History puts them on the pedestal of their career
Aimless drifting until fatally engaged into a drilling rig
Raised a surface at the heart of the sea to exploit oil on its frontier

Oil wells at the...

Fine Print
be sure to tell your doctor,
and tell the pharmacist too,
everything, every ache of head,
every salty-smelling scent
every painful bump, 
every discoloration underwent 

if you have had bitten lip syndrome,
if you experienced excessive tears
or had feelings of dizzy giddiness,
or felt the envy of your peers

if you've ever...

Misfit
Wrappings long have been trashed 
A few nics encompass some character 
Sunlight drenched a deteriorated discoloration 
But still bravely I'm standing tall

Dark eyes forlorn for affection
As time's quickly winding down
A misfit struggling for acceptance
Watching others merrily marching on

Basement bottom feelings placate
Another piece of lead has...

Premium Member What Was the Color Purple
What was the color purple?

was it the purple flowers 
abundant in the field
or the royal robes of Celie’s child
when the miracle is revealed

what could the color purple be
as Alice Walker’s muse
a dark discoloration, you see 
commonly called abuse

Premium Member The Artist And The Winter Vine
She is eighteen and tattoos are the latest rage." I'd like a tattoo please" she asks. I see a young girl in a messy ponytail and wonder if she'll pick something gaudy, then I will have to oblige.  
The boldness of youth
can appear so...

Premium Member Final Voyage of Fall Leaves
FINAL VOYAGE OF FALL LEAVES

Leaves like tumbleweeds,
cling to my porch,
cascade down the moss,
hover like the homeless
in every yard,
often warming their hands
around fire pits.

Leaves soon will be
stuck between the teeth
of vicious rakes, gathered
into inhuman piles,
discarded like waste.

They tumble down into the woods,
quivering near howling coyotes,
sipping water...

Killer Kale
Part 2
Now they had to get revenge 

They crawled through the night
the ground frozen from days without sun
to the place where she had gone,
her human skin not strong enough to live in the cold
her mind so reveled in

When morning came they waited
and waited
and waited
for the...

To Have My Cake and Eat It Too
To have my cake and eat it too
The best of both with no adieu

Pint sized comforts, nestled in
Where personal space is growing thin

Amongst the city that never sleeps
Behind four walls, no one peeps

A Consistently unconventional land
Safety first, but nothing bland 

Taking only what we need
Skim...

Poppies
I am small among fields of red flowers.
They look toward me and watch as time presses
its skeletal fingers into my limbs.

Yes, this is my body now: a startling
mosaic of death-colored discoloration.
Thumbprints corrode me like an oil spill,

such unglamorous stains. I am other,
not red—still alone, even...

Underground Overground
An internal interlinking corroding pipe in an intersection is often assumed to be safe as cracks are not appearing outwardly so it would appear to be nothing was wrong. Unassuming looks. With no surface discoloration can disguise and harness not only inner truths but also...

Male Laser Lifting
Male Laser Lifting

At first I just couldn’t believe it
The spas out in sunny LA
Are offering “Male laser lifting”
For which some guys are willing to pay
The locals call it “tackle tightening”
Some call it just “ironing the ball”
It removes hair and discoloration
And wrinkles if I rightly recall
Some...

Flatlining
Shockwave of affectively laden numbness

Functioning trait through the plumes of dysfunction

Tempestuous fever in hibernation

Enclosed coffin emotions decomposing

Discoloration life's defibrillation

A Bruised Heart
will the bruises in
my heart heal
the deep contusions
black and blue
from you
when everywhere I look
songs that I hear
remind me daily
the discoloration
left on my mind
as well as my heart...

What We Need
How many times should I need to lose you,
before I learn the rules of your equipoise -  I wonder.
And how many times should you need to cast me out,
before you learn to bear my unmasked sight - You may not know.
I have already figured...
