Best Fleshed Out Poems


Whiskey and Philosophy
One tall and gaunt with hooded eyes
The other bearded, bent, time-worn and wise
They relished unfurling their intellectual sails
To seek secrets of wisdom on ancient gales

Two wizened old philosophers in a huddled conspiracy
They picked through the bones of archaic mythology
Pondered the tomes of scholars of yore
Then...

decrying, lamenting... (slightly "FAKE"

I Am Touched

I am touched.
You came to me in spirit, 
As it should be,
And though I can hear the steel rumblings 
Of the outside neurotic world,
I can hear your silent ghost voice squealing there,
As with a trumpet pealing, 
With gnashing heralds afoot;
We timorous pawns cover...

You Should Have Staid
You're nothing more than a song
or a crude sculpture that i made
I made you into something beautiful
but you're not

I handcrafted this illusion
a pitiful scheme in love
a lie upon a story
covering up a truth I had forgot

I painted you a picture
a gallery of lies and desire

Goodbye
She fleshed out lines 
of scarlet red
Poured from her heart's
bruised vein she bled
Two cuts divided
their king sized bed.

Sheath exposed, nerves unveiled
Painful memories, her words revealed
Breaths taken in, never exhaled.
With guided pen, her eyes sealed tight
She left for him, a wrong made right
A last goodbye, 
that...

Premium Member This Poem's Heart
This poem's first intention (and its heart), is it would serve
both you and me. It serves me best, perhaps, because muse leads
me to myself, to things I did not know I felt (or knew!)
I rarely have life lesson planned (fleshed out) that I would share,

Skin
that bruised and contused
epidermis after a skirmish
bandaged and anti-somethinged
for whatever next is coming

that fleshed out scathe of 
open wound from what was said
and the way the knife turned 
as it quickly sliced out pride

some diligent nursing will
form some scars to cover
the vulnerability felt, raw
but too,...
