Best Dismember Poems


Premium Member The Wall
Winnie, wild-eyed, went insane
and sang “Happy Birthday” in the rain, 
while she washed away her bloody pain.

Now all day long she sings that song,
she sings it loud, she sings it strong,
walled in where she does not belong.

For not unlike her maddened mind,
her bony body’s been...

Justice In the Quest For Love
I saw how martyrs longed for love, and so began the play of my flitting heart
A strange girl had I become, with airs of fickle dream,
My heart an embodiment of wonder to all that dared to behold it
Closing my eyes, I would find myself knowing...

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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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

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...

We are the days that we’ve become. 
moments dripping gifted from
the lounging clocks in rolling melted sightings, 
given by the gifted madness of a soulmate’s fightings. 

Our lives wrapped up in phrases coined
in books like, “best things ever said”.
we are the living words from inside-out...

Difficult
Boggled is the mind 
 Where we stand is anti 
 Is shine proof 
 Need not to check off 
 But dismember the anti

 Of words from the guru 
 no one should place a label

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.

"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...
