The falling man, one photograph captured in time
       An unforgettable image, imprinted on this mind
        He represents us all, weather we like it or not

Premium Member Tranquillity
The ultimate compassionate
sensation resonates beyond
daily circumstances, travails

It is calming serenity
tapered by lustful indulgences
tempting peacefulness

You wonder how such blessings
could have been bestowed
upon a common utilitarian

personality rife with imperfections.
It's mind boggling
how forces intermingle

creating spheres of happiness.
It dangles illusions
of utopian perfection

transforming everyday misanthropes
into circumstantial bliss
that encapsulates illustrious

transcendental thoughts.

At Work
Picasso painted me ugly.
Two lips slung over a rusted hanger.
One eyebrow burnt for attention's sake.
Let's tell Grandma how much fun we had today.
Picasso is still at work.

Monet swallowed your stupidity.
Five teeth missing and nary a barbed retort to bend.
One un-photographed smile was left behind.
Let's tell...

Dark Love
I'm sorry...

Love is a thornbush.
Pretty to the sight
yet, in the end;
it's prickly touch
is unimaginable.

With bright red roses -
it's message
seems too fragrant -
vociferous from afar.

Romantics are obsessed with love -
the misanthropes dread it;
it's a kill-joy feeling -
an inner nightmare 
of an unconcious 
optimistic daydream.

You stutter the...

Healing
Twenty eight years ago Chernobyl had a meltdown. 
An exclusion zone was created to keep masses from being exposed.
Now abandoned villages transitioning back into base elements lie in decay.
Remnants of a miniature apocalypse is attracting tourists, 
they take pictures and revel in an exciting past...

Premium Member Werewolves Among Us
There are werewolves among us, or so it is said.
Not unlike what you conjure when you think “lycanthrope”.
They plot and they scheme for the blood they will shed;
they lurk in the shadows and feed on lost hope.

Their lens to the world is a skewed microscope.
They're...

Hold My Beer
Some say that our people
will never, ever get along,
that skin is our ‘identity,’
that old, bigoted song.
Some must always be victims,
and others will oppress,
the groups A, B, C are awful,
but D, E, F are best.
I don’t care much for that,
but one thing is clear,
taking home Shanise...

Youthful Days
The teenaged years are the years
we miss the most,
When friendship was everything,
without it we felt lost,
The yearning to fit in
by saying the right things
brought us temporary happiness
and sometimes grief,
Yet, we always believed we would turn
our awkward lives around, and change from
being the class clowns, rejects...

I Guess I Wasn'T What You Were Looking For
with teardrops tying a tight knot around my brain, 

i move forward....ignoring the black blood of my emotions 

trying to cope, i revisit the forwardly impatient motion 

as i restart my brisk walk, reality gives me tough love 

although i would like to chance to...

Stale Popcorn Regret
Hello
Something you must know
I once loved you in a way misunderstood by the social and the loquacious
If there was a way to tell you today, 
I would push myself forward and not stray or sway
However happiness has given me the `I told you so` look...

Save Us From the Godless Liberals
Degenerate liberals are destroying the amber waves of grain,
Using their egregious ramifications,
Against us prodigious conservatives,
They have somehow stolen our Senate.

But we still have almighty George Bush,
With "W" at the helm, how could the country fail?
Even if the senate majority is hebetudinous misanthropes,
They cry for peace...

The Misanthrope Song
(Being a song for misanthropes, or people who have just had a really bad day.)

I hate the world and everyone in it,
I hate the world and everyone here,
I hate the world and everyone in it,
I hate, yes, I hate the world.

I hate the world and...

Premium Member Stake Your Claim - On God's Heart
Stake Your Claim (On God's Heart)!

Stake your claim on God's heart if you're looking for gold,
There are nuggets to find there; no snake oil gets sold,
Philosophical sophistries, fake news, et al.,
(Up for grabs) are the 'muffs of diseased whores' on call!
Are the loveless betrayed when...
