Premium Member Two Riding On a Single
Two riding on a single
Man! How fast that bike will go
Down the hill around the curve
Blow wind blow

At the very bottom piled up
In a culvert drain
In great agony and pain
Totally distained

Crumpled metal, torn clothes
Bleeding and blood stains
Harsh words from parents
Tears as soap and water cleaned

All...

Premium Member Bloody Mary
In the flickering of the ethereal candlelight, as the greenish blue flame
Burns dimly against the ancient mirror of reflections, the necromancer
Chants in rhythms rhythmic undertones, stirring the rippling pools of
Illusions, between the divisions of altered states of realism, and the 
Foggy vaporous mists in the...

Premium Member Dracula's Castle
In the eases softening breeze leaves rustle in the crisp
Autumn air, as the creeping shadows begin to claim the
Hallows of the darkening night, layer by layer the blackness
Swallows whole the last remaining essence of light, 
At dusk's twilight’s fading hour!
Within isolation's remote venue, the spiritually...

Jesus Christ's Final Days On Earth
Jesus Christ’s Final Days on Earth

His ride to town began with human praise.
And palm fronds paved the road that Jesus chose.
The will of God the Father Christ assays.
Upon an ass with humble heart he goes.
The lessons that he spoke on Earth’s byways,
All words he taught...

I Guess I Would Rather Be In Idaho
Pine filtered air roams down hillsides.
Space in the western Rockies stretches comprehension.
Farms and towns in the valleys have room to spare.
Polite Mormons and crude drunks harmonize.

Rewards wait for the adventurer.
Cutthroat trout sip insects from stream tops.
Wandering moose snack on willows.
I have found a permanent paradise.

Let...

What Im Made Of
I will cure you of all your pain:
The lie that inflamed you,
The game that betrayed you.

I will cure you of all your shame:
The pity that distained you,
The past that retained you.

I will cure you of all your insecurities:
The shallow thoughts that enslaved you,
The mindless torture...

Perfect Entertainer
Curtin closed, sky is black,
                        The King you know, won’t be back.
Price of fame, made him go insane,

Premium Member Death Overrules All Judgments Here On Earth
Blank Verse

DEATH OVERRULES ALL JUDGMENTS HERE ON EARTH

In reign of terror, split, with holes and pain,
the sentinel, distained his fingers black.

The pools of sticky-red descend, like mud,
and eyes despise the madman’s gaze, above.

Where flowers bloomed in glassy panes, sublime,
the heart of Vegas shatters - shards...

Friends and Lovers, Lies and Alibis
His friendship was the one I held dear.
He said he was the one I never had to fear.

The two years we were together before we were wed,
Were not so bad, truth be said.

Then one day out of the blue,
He was no longer the man I...

Sentimental Moments
Our halos combined blind one another,
an innocent act of shielded human nature.
Blinding us from seeing the real spiritual message,
release the demon we must, unleash the dragon.

Glistening beams of shiny gold entertain our minds,
withering away our hearts blueprints.
Habitats refrained oblige our individual comforts,
distained spirits, commands come...

The Writer
Gloomy nights
Heart broken, mind in torment…she writes

A lover’s quarrel
Hate spatted, hate thrown…. she writes

Love felt, love taken
Rainy days, gray clouds that linger…she writes

Anger…she writes
Kisses linger, touch of ease…she writes

Desires…erotic thoughts…she writes
Worthless…she writes
Distained…she writes
Hate…she writes
When her words are laughed at, when there is no one to...

To Be A Poem
If to be a sonnet is to be vain, then to be a sonnet is to be a friend. 

If to be a limerick is to be laughed at, then to be a limerick is to be a child. 

If to be a haiku is...

Premium Member Little Woman Loveless Seems-
Little woman where you come from 
With your almond eyes and your bronze skin
Silken and in your blackened hair
You curl up in a nesting square
Little woman what have you now 
Where is your heart where are your vows
Do you sleep in danger of the nightmare...
