Premium Member Lifeless Eyes of Ted Bundy
Lifeless were the eyes of infamous Ted Bundy
No remorse, all emotion had been doused
His gaze pierced my soul as I gave testimony
 
He maintained there’d been too much publicity
Four coeds attacked in a sorority house
Lifeless were the eyes of infamous Ted Bundy
 
This demon had...

From one second to the next
Love is our strength and honor, while we are still alive

The body feels cold and stiff
Searching for heart beat ... breathe ... pulse
One, two, three .... one, two, three
Please

With eyes full of tears
One, two, three .... one, two, three
Fearing the...

Lifeless
A lifeless life
dawns through my eyes…
with nothing but wrongs
and no birds in flight
the trees are bare
the wind is zilch
there’s a common wisp in the air
that makes the
oceans lie flat
grass won’t grow
diamonds are coal.
Amber is the dust
of the crust
where the gold 
dies and cries…
Fires cremate
but won’t...

Lifeless
              Authored by Chuck Keys


I wish she loved me,
anyway, 
but some.

The heart needs the up-time
as the soul
needs an echo.

I wish she loved me,
always, maybe forever, 
but not never.

Loveless is not an existence;
it...

Premium Member Hourglass, Spindle and Lifeless Doll
A string wrapped around a spindle
Unwinding as an hourglass marks time
Sand trickles  to the chamber below
Marking the moments of my life 
Questioning “have you truly lived”
The sound of silence drives me mad
The hourglass drags me back in time
I relive the nightmare of my dread...

This Lifeless Tot -- Florida
an innocent child,
a nineteen-month-old baby,
was senselessly shot;

cold drive-by shooter
killed a cherished little boy--
with a heartless plot

endless tears of pain--
as we remember the love
of this lifeless tot


*baby was not the intended target...

Lifeless River
Lost and lonely;
Alone, in my own
solitude
Walking;
wandering;
Wondering;
worrying
under the grip of the
souls of darkness,
Living at the banks of
a blue river, in a small
Hut, built by mud and clay,
The stagnant  water
deep and dark;
No light;
no illuminations;
No clouds,
No moon,
No stars
The water was dark
like my own  life
Within the water
was...

Lifeless
The dusk casts its shadow upon the land
robbing the light,
setting the stage for caliginosity .

Moonlight faint against transitioning light
stretches eerie fingers onto a land 
that allows no man.

Twisted steel, mimicking an uncanny monster,
stationary,
only its shadow moves with moon passing.

Silence, cold and unrelenting as death
is undisturbed...

Premium Member Lifeless In Gold
Your fingertips reach
The crowd gasps when you touch me
Midas touch captive

A grand spectacle
Hands caress each golden curve
You smile in pleasure

I stand on display
A testament to power
Lifeless in your gold

Lifeless
Lifeless
Wondering through time, not knowing what to find
A heart without a soul, a mind without peace
No tears fall for I feel no pain, no shadow lurks upon me
No sound shall I hear, only the vision of life
I am now lifeless
My footsteps are never heard, my...

Desert plains, love dies.
Lust remains we say goodbye,
Pain is crucial now....

Life Less
By: IzaDonna

Such a lonely girl along the road
No one helps her, no where to go
Tears are falling from her face
She wipes them away with disgrace
Nothing but the clothes on her back
Once standing in light now in black
N I'm hoping she still has drive
N keep...

Lifeless
Lifeless,

Where is the glow,

That once warmed my flesh. 

Breathless,

What happened to the beat,

That once drummed in my chest. 

Silent,

My voice has ended,

The song that once sang clear.

Broken, 

I'm truly not a thing,

Without you near. 

Bleeding,

From the cavern,

Where my heart once lay.

Dying, 

By the time the...

Lifeless Art
Art is often quite pedestrian,
Lacking jumps to be equestrian.
                                    ...

Lifeless out of water






Parting a beloved is no less than a curse,
Drowning will not at all fit into a slaughter,
As if emotions scrubbed off the vibrant verse,
Left all alone, the denied love charter,
Lifeless I wish to emerge out of water !
