If This Beauty Shall Be My Final Curtain, Let It Be Dropped Slowly
Parched and dry, this barren field stretches,
I wander, head hung low,
staring at the emptiness eclipsing my thoughts
Brittle blades of grass disappear beneath 
my worn out sneakers,
black and white crushing beige
in slow fashioned footprints of blistered dust

“My sanity for some cool water”

When upon my shoulders, reddened...

If This Beauty Shall Be My Final Curtain, Let It Be Dropped Slowly - Repost

I wander, head hung low,
staring at the emptiness eclipsing my thoughts
Brittle blades of grass disappear beneath 
my worn out sneakers,
black and white crushing beige

Premium Member Dropped Over the Edge
I am sorry
     that when the world stopped
     for just an instant
     I dropped over the edge 
Earth could not keep me
Seas didn't catch me
     to wash me ashore

Sit...

Just Dropped In
P arking my Harley near the doorway, we sauntered inside.
O ther than a lone microphone, I took the emptiness in stride.
E VENTUALLY the emcee asked what would be our order,
T hough it was hard for him to speak because of his goiter.
R eaching for my...

Call Dropped
can't really reach You
  anymore
everything is
disappearing 
our old arguments 
as well
bits 
just  drop away
 everyday
naked fear left behind
 strangling your mind
normality already
 a thing of the past
I  am not sure
 when it happened 
crept up slow and stealthy
this drawn out 
goodbye
not knowing

Premium Member I Dropped My Little Brother
I dropped my stupid little brother
Down an open storm drain near our home
And now he’s gone forever, always
And my life is finally my own!

You say you saw me after crying
By that open storm drain near our home?
But those were tears of pure happiness
As I skipped...

Santa Dropped His Knickers
'Twas an unpleasant night for Santa Claus
When discovered he had pooped his drawers
From a rooftop he fell
Spread around was the smell
When he frightfully landed on all fours

Poor Santa was in such a lot of pain
For his knees had opened a sewer drain
He was cleaned with...

Dropped
I have been dropped. I fall fast,
Plunging into rage.
Inanimate. 
I have no feelings or thoughts.
My end is to expose,
The cardinal demigods.
Through heartache and devastation no person should feel.
I fall, oblivious, augmenting anguish to everything,
Here and there....

Who Dropped the Love Bomb
WHO DROPPED THE LOVE BOMB?

Who dropped the love bomb?
   Yes, I confess
it was I-
       Who let it fall from the sky.

I flew over the battle-
    In my stealth peace jet-
And I dropped the love...

Premium Member At the Bottoms Dropped Out
At the Bottom's dropped out.

I'll write to you 
the end of the story.
The only one i know.
Sundown on a field of dandelions.
No step closer to rapture,
I smiled with no hurry 
when i found myself here,
at the bottom's dropped out.      ...

I Dropped a Tear In the Ocean
I sent a wish to the sky
When the heart is weakening
You will give anything a go

I asked for an angel
To hold my head when it hurt
Who could love me so

I lifted my head in the rain
Harrowing to view
To me it was beautiful and free

I walked...

Dropped In To Say Hello
Its sad to see someone you know and love in a hospital bed,
Its sad to see them hanging on to there life by a thread.
You begin to wonder, someday that's going to be me laying here,
But than you noticed that you loved through so much...

Beads That Heaven Dropped
The clouds forming
Beautiful shapes of love
In the blooming farms
Diamonds of rain drops
The better half of bright skies.
Phoenix of the dry marines.

The heaven crying ecstatically
Through the curtains of cloud
The shiny sober droplets of tears
Hushing the chaotic rays of sunshine
Embodying a loud rainbow of resurgence.

The sky is...
