Best Dismember Poems


Premium Member Common Threads

whether bound and dragged 
behind a pick-up 
‘til limbs slowly dismember
or shackled hand and foot 
then tossed unsecured 
into the back of a rolling 
makeshift coffin

whether judge, jury or executioner 
all don the same hat 
and fancy themselves a God
and your only crime was to exist 
in pigmentation unlike their own

let us not forget our tears
our laughter, our blood 
our date with mortality 
these common threads 
that bind us

Beggars and Thieves

Maybe I feel sorry for;
The  amongst us thieves;
The ones who give to us;
But don't ever receive.

Maybe beggars can't be choosers;
Like lovers amongst the abusers;
That's a game I refuse to play:
Before they roll the dice, they make you pay.

You call us versions of Robin Hood;
Just like I felt you would.
Maybe you're just one of the outlaws:
Fate tied to a string of lies.

You unravel at the revelation of flaws;
Only your internal demons remember;
How your body loves to dismember;
The spirit lodged somewhere within.

Now lost to the top that spins;
Make a promise to fate;
Hoping that your intentions will relate;
Why do you take a chance on nothing?

Weren't you were promised something?
I really don't have the answer.
I've been begging the question;
Using my life as a form of detention.

From the dawn of the phoenix;
To the dust to dust amongst the ashes;
After another one of our car crashes;
Still the flames rise up and swallow us.

All the leaders make us follow;
And I don't know of a reason why;
We get back up again and try;
I don't know why you don't make me cry.

Malapropisms and Mondegreens

One light, I was out panting the clown red when I met a Sadie from Francis who I found to be quiet subtractive. It was apparel she thought I was distracted two because she ted, “Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?” To witch I supplied "You can let your coucher I due.”
Sew, we dove to a rotel and wented a womb and that’s where it all rent wong. I dimply could NOT maintain my direction! I even deported to taking two extra-length Niagras butt no lice! My ergo was scattered to say the piece, although she was quiet patent with me at second, basking, “Comment allez-vous, mon ami?” I dancered, "Not very bien, mon cherry, déjà vu?"
Swell cokes, let me sell ya, she was so beset and vivid it took a few momentums for her to apply. FINALITY she basked (In broken England) “Deja who? Who is Déjà and what the PLUCK has Vu got to do with the price of a flea on a panda in Angina?”
To take a short story long, she got it up, put her clothes back off and resorted, “Au revoir, tu salopard!”
"Salopardon madamit? Did you dust ball me a dastard?" She had the VERVE to say: ”If the necker shrinks, then bare it, and your pepper sure did slink and you better relieve THAT, you old pool!”
Whelp, I won’t go into any moor of the sorted retails here. Needles to hay, I will sever foreskin that incidental and will always dismember that humilitating tight
I depose one gives and sperms…


Translations:
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir? – Do you want to sleep with me tonight?
Comment allez-vous, mon ami? – How are you doing my friend?
Tres bein, et vous? -  Very good, and you?
Mon cher - My dear
Au revior, tu salopard – Goodbye, you bastard

Inapproachable

The lustrous surface of your sea is
urging me to drown in its intriguing blue.
Afraid to go further, I stand hesitantly at
 your mysterious shore, yet allowing your
 tides to lick my soul!
Your waves grow in me rapidly,
clogging the flow of my breathing!
I hark keenly to the whispers of the cowries
wishing to unfold the secrets of your
inapproachable depths!
In my dreams, I invade that misty
portion of you, dismember it into
crystal clear droplets which
permit me to see through the secretive 
fabric of you, to  transfigure fractioned 
doubts into certainties…
Your heart, edged in mysterious sweetness
becomes the center of gravity,
drawing the straying grains of my
Being into its infinite grip …
And I so wrapped up in this ageless 
shawl of sadness find a refuge in this
 turmoil of tussling
emotions to elude a devious stillness..

The Funky Train 3

In the funky train,
 All the hoo-ha-noisy end in fisticuff;
 As the crumpled greenback hand-out cough,
 The law has nothing to handcuff, 
  
 Maneuvering on the sloppy storey hill
 A frantic dance of dead-drunk crazy masquerade;
 Man-handling the dare-devil by weary drenched soaked in
 talisman man,
 Springs from a ream hole in the floor
 Hand-shuffling on long iron pole gear,
 Wrestling with reckless white knuckles of steering wheel;
 A nipple for torch-light knob looking tough headlamps,
 A bare-face speedometer, a mare decor;
 Rear is bare, except fanning out putrid fart in
 defecating vulva;
 And a pumping brake failure refused to catch,
 Disaster looms down a glitch away,
 Marijuana induced braggarts, bang at the battered dent
 body;
 All acted in the climatic anti-climax role in the tragic
 play,
 As horn and side mirrors, villains make do,
 Ghastly farewell garland to stranded passengers on
 departure;
 Welcome to hellish shore of grimacing dismember carcasses,
 
 
 From the extinct scratched my backside please dense
 Bolekaja view,
 Stigmatized masses muck arranged tight,
 File in wooden slavery mule;
 And the pompous promise land looks a light years away,
 Now on the garish cold rusted cut steel,
 Buttocks crammed on planks for seats;
 Knees folded to gangrene stroke roost, 
 Pillaged and pilloried, rasped and gasped for a slice bread
 of life,
 Staled sweats seeped and poured decayed stench on forms;
 ***** squeezed queued on narrow alley,
 Romancing buttocks swell sips to bursting through;
 And the lushing rhythmic beating drum
 Re-enters lock and brake,
 
 Dilepa dilepa dilepa duro nube o!
 Omokunrin kan ti daran nube o!
 Ofowo kanmi loyan me solo!
 ofowo kanmi nidi me solo!
 Toku toku lona nkan boyi o!
 Komo ipe kolokolo lahere wa!


Empty Baby

What sort of life
Is taken away
Without a word
Without a say

From a life unknown
Unsewn to her side
Just left to slide
Into an unknown tomb

Ripped from the womb
That lies empty
Surrounded by plenty
Of long, happy lives

So we strive
To burn our hurt, our rage
Turn over another page
And move on from the grief

Spilt out from that brief
Elapse of time
But I don’t feel fine,
Or know how to remember

How to dismember
This event from my mind
And I yearn to find
A memory to create

And abate
These feelings that I’ve left you alone
On your own
With no love surrounding you

No future to renew
No reality born
Just torn
From our empty lives

I’m so sorry (I will never forget you)

Untitled Part 1

i am the salt of the earth and the ocean 
i am the light that shines from within 
the inner cries behind facial emotions 
the darkness that is covered in skin 

i comprehend the appearance of freedom 
though i am chained to this earth 
i accept the mistakes of edom 
and understand my own worth 

i am a man in need of compassion 
just like any who filled his challice 
but my love runs thin like rations 
and ive thrown virtue over the ballast

my eyes swing low in the presence of a smile 
and ears ring numb to a laugh 
i havent the endurance to run deceptions mile 
nor the energy to last 

the light goes into submission 
and the darkness smothers the land 
evil comes out of submission 
and begins to reach out its hand 

it comforts carress and consoles 
it puts the mind and body at ease 
then it takes over in total control 
and kills like a malignant desease 

it works its way thought the canvas of life 
and disfigures the art that has been laid 
like the reavers who waunder the night 
they destroy everything made 

watchers.... they gaze with envy 
as the fallen plunder the earth 
the hearts of many become empty 
as the battle begins for the turf 

they possesse and dismember ... 
the body of the humankind 
they erase what we remember 
over the ages of time 

they manipulate truth.... 
by the twist of a word and the tongue 
and all that was ever accomplished 
was demolished before it it ever begun 

but time is a constant and never ceases to flow 
what we forget in time only time again can bestow

Premium Member Equality and Justice

Justice for all, equal rights for everyone,
A world where no one is marginalized or shunned,
Where all are treated with respect and love,
A world where our differences are celebrated above.

No longer shall we discriminate,
Or allow prejudice to seal someone's fate,
We must stand together and fight for what is right,
To bring an end to hatred and unite.

Color, race, creed or gender,
Should never be a cause for dismember,
Our humanity and respect for each other,
Should always remain the constant hallmark of our culture.

We were all created equal and free,
And our basic human rights must be guaranteed,
The right to life, liberty, and equality,
Must be upheld, even in the face of adversity.

May our voices be heard,
As we speak out against injustice and world,
May we stand firm in our call for equality,
And build a world where love is the only reality.

A Chantage the Betrayal

A Chantage

Extortion matters change the air to ice
The price of blackmail and betrayal
A heavy spice served up with delight
Wife and friend in bed together
Not playing cards or knitting sweaters
Things could be worse
I’m happy to find them first
Not in reverse
My mistress and I found in bed
Not reading books but doing each other
Now that’s a different matter!
And takes another course… not in divorce
My wife, who’s French, has quite the temper
And thinks along the lines, she should dismember
Instead of losing money in this dubious matter
My head’s served up on a silver platter

Earning Your Trust-

Feb 6

I SAW YOUR PICTURE AND COULDNT HELP
BUT NOTICE YOUR FEARFUL EYES
I FELT THE NEED TO COMFORT YOU
AND DISMEMBER YOUR DISGUISE
I KNEW I HAD TO TAKE YOU IN
AND GIVE YOU HOPE AND LOVE
WHEN I WENT TO PICK YOU UP
I KNEW YOU WERE THE ONE
I AM SO EXCITED TO BOND WITH YOU
AND ITS ONLY JUST BEGUN
YOU HAD A HARD LIFE JUST LIKE MINE
YOU WERE NOT TREATED RIGHT
SO I MEAN THIS WHEN I SAY
TOGETHER WE WILL FIGHT
AND LIVE THE LIFE WE BOTH DESERVE
TO SLEEP IN PEACE AT NIGHT..

Difficult

Boggled is the mind 
 Where we stand is anti 
 Is shine proof 
 Need not to check off 
 But dismember the anti 
 with anatomic 
 Of words from the guru 
 no one should place a label 
 on who is more wrong or correct.

Premium Member The Annals of History

Review the annals of history
   Murder upon murder you'll see

Start with Adam and Eve's son, Cain
   Who murdered his brother Abel in vain

Then there's Moses, the saintly lawgiver
   Who murdered an Egyptian taskmaster and shivered

The greatest of playwrights, Shakespeare, didn't hedge his bets
   He wrote of murder in 'Julius Caesar,' 'Macbeth' and 'Romeo & Juliet'

What of Abe Lincoln's assassin, Mr. John Wilkes Booth?
   His name lives all these years later, verily and forsooth

There's Lee Harvey Oswald, shot JFK -- ended Camelot
   Else his name wouldn't be worth a pee in a pot

Can't forget the serial killers, whose souls are damned:
   Richard Speck, John Wayne Gacy, Son of Sam
 
Not to mention the 'iconic' socialists you all know:
   Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Idi Amin also
   
In this century you don't have to rack your brain
   We've had Osama bin Laden, Bashar Assad, Sadam Hussein...

As for 'professionals,' Bonnie & Clyde are your bank robbers
   And how about ('Scarface') Al Capone for a celebrity mobster?

So, you want your name to be ever remembered?
   Just commit a few murders: Behead and dismember!

Lie To Me

Lie to me
Look me in my face and tell me the things my ears need to hear in order to convince my mind that  my body's not being taken advantage of.
Lie to me with the words in your eyes that tell me I can trust you.
Trust you not to stay but always to come back.
Lie to me with the carress of your body that makes me believe that this is something,
it never was and never will be.
Never will your actions match your intent. 
Your intent to break down my barriers , climb inside the wall of my ambition, and dismember the conventions of my essence.
Do you know the truth anymore?
I think you might be as lost as me, on black satin sheets wondering "what am I Doing here?"
What are you doing here
In my bed, in my house, 
Do you lie to her too?
Do you come here to find yourself or escape your mind?
Suffocating lies meant to pacify and subdue the conscious mind telling you your worth more
Your Worth more than thick thighs and low expectations
Pick your head up Queen
Hear the Truth

"look At Our Picture, We Are Gone Forever"

Beautiful, how we burn, sweet, how we scream, horizon, what we build, look at it now, is falling 
down, dead less feelings covering mental capacity, dying to build up a wall were the enemy will 
not cross, but a lifetime is not enough for the work we desire, i love the way you scream to me, 
but i feel i want to destroy you, dismember you and bury your remains, ashes? Sympathy walks 
with me and ha no meaning, i don't need sympathy, not today, not morrow, not again, is not i 
will but i must, is not my game but im playing still, the hater of the agony will back off before I 
explode, inside a system, what system? No, i can't understand what is going on, help us! Not 
tonight, not today, sun becomes dark while the moon freezes the heavens with cold 
embracement, is gone, trought the tomb of our parents, but i was told another story, does it 
change history? Help! I need help here, im lost and i don't understand this hell, can't open my 
eyes but the light is making e blind, i don't see trought the hollow bottle but i know there's some 
one on the other side, confusion swallows a mind of horror, is here, is now, is later, were is the 
throne of hades! Were is crecious! Give us back our soul, but who fought alongside me, i don't 
know, place help me now, please explain to me what the world never seen, give me everything, 
but leave me poor, i want to die here, but please help me run, away, were the sun will not burn, 
were the moon will not freeze, hell is light, haven is lighter, but i want hell a place i can rest in 
freedom, but heaven is lighter were the eternity seems coldly calm in bliss, freedom is spread 
on agony, i don't understand this, either do you, how do i see when my eyes are sewed by the 
enemy, how do i scream when my voice is acid burned, how do i hear when all i know is an 
eternal scream, but i still know what happen to the world we once knew...
