Best Gouges Poems


Premium Member Holding Hands With the Devil
What’s in her mind, sharp lines slice her in half, 
Into faded dark red, green and blue,
And the flowers cover up each emotional scar, 
From ever even shining on through,

To show the gouges ripped from her thoughts, 
To show the bruised, shaken, and torn,
Slit while...

Chasing Cars 3
Chasing Cars 3


You can drown in smoke
In huge breaths
Sucked in on the choke 

Of ever wishing air

And you can lay yourself bare
Your soul on the concrete
Spread before the stare 

Of every loving heart

Its not that I see
Not the pain in me
Not the hammer that crashes...

A Visit To My Drive-In
I knew you well many years ago
So full of passion
A cathedral where multitudes
Of lusting souls gathered
I watched intently at the images
You allowed me to see 

Such a majestic creature 
Towering high into the darkened sky
You gathered the light from a million stars
To power my imagination...

Premium Member Monsters Are Real
In hushed whispers, Mariners told stories,
           Of a octopus like cephalopod creature;
With a tentacled beak and jet thrust power,
                ...

Megastorm In Memory of Hurricane Sandy
A mighty force lurks out of sight
Far out o'er the sea
About to bring a monstrous fight
Like none we've ever seen

The time winds by and on the air
The wind is first to show
It starts out as a breeze so fair
But endless is it's flow

It picks up...

Premium Member Blazing Beast
The ground gaped garishly, gored with ghastly gouges of glowing, gravelly gobs ...

Finally unfettered from a frigid firmament, flames flung fiery, flaring fingers 
          ferociously forward ...

The blazing bastions bent on burning the backwood bluffs bare...

Three Pennies
One was when it was new.
Shiny head calling to me from days of childhood.
Pick me up and make a wish..Surely you know this to be true
for people have told you your whole life it is.
Having doubts I grasped the penny
Heard the voices of the past...

Cavity
There they were
Dirtied like untreated cavities. 
There on the mirror 
Our benighted oblivion for actualities 

Somewhere across or below
The solution is not shared to bestow
Nor mercy allowed to freely stand 
But only is granted to be banned

The truth gouges our knowledge,
The truth that humans are...

Premium Member The Ghost Bar
THE GHOST BAR

gangrenous chains
rusted and burdensome
lambast the oak plank
etching ethereal gouges

the serpentine length drags
with warlike screams

ghoulish intensity
grabs each bony-disk
with heartlessness

the ice cold floor and
daggered eyes, seem
but a hallucination
to the drunken lot

but the barmaid sees!
she screams
as the breathless apparition
howls with wrathful laughter
she faints, fast and dreadful

the...

A Blissful Lifetime
Rowdiness drives though your eyes 
It builds a freeway, leading to consistent roads 
I can’t explain your stunning beauty, making my passion jam-packed
I can’t explain this heartfelt feeling inside—it’s so inconceivable  
Your nature is like a vermillion, impeccable rose; your scent is gratifying 
I...

Premium Member In My Grooves
Find me here
Within graphite words 
breathe me deeply
until the lines are blurred
let my smoke fill your lungs
I desperately want to be felt and heard
Ash rises from my bones
from my mind to your heart transferred 

my thoughts are paper thin
Yet they levitate upon my imperfections 
Two...

Oblivion
Oblivion 

Fear caresses my heart, 
An eminent doom alerts my intuition.
The sun sets below the horizon. 
As I prepare myself for the inevitable.

Encased in oblivion,
Left alone with my thoughts.
Drifting in and out of consciousness,
Relinquishing the authority over my mind.

Emotions rupture my heart, 
Devoured by tidal...

GLACIER

Silent  boasts 
The mass of coldness.
Its grim whiteness
In slow-motion anger
Tears and gouges the land
Into trenches and holes.
Its deep claw marks
Show a cold-hearted deliberate
Desecration of the land.
The massive coldness
Of a salient beast....

Mad Tea Anyone
Welcome to a world of imagination,
Where nothing is what it seems to be,
A world unlike any other,
A world,
Where being mad is normal.

"Come sit with me,
Care for a cup of tea,
Come, come be seated please,
We have much to discuss",
Exclaims the hatter.

"About shoes and ships; and ceiling...

Petty Harms, Easy Deeds
oh sweet, sweet mutilation
i feel for the ones that know not your ways
carried in throngs of masochism
you need not know of the devil to know easy deeds

cut, slice, wash petty harms
some new kind of knowledge through some kind of lust
cry, sweat, piss pretty waste
there's no...
