Best Receptacles Poems


Premium Member Womb Man
Woman, discarded remnant of Adam?
Fe-male, not to be given her own name;
her own identity, other than, a part?

Receptacles, empty bowls, hollow holes,
to be filled only with necessary roles?

Necessary for man.
Primero uno, cock of the walk,
strutting, scratching, with his third leg dangling.

Womb man, so they, the...

Premium Member The Spaces Between
No Particle Theory can ever be Unified – 
for there is always the space between...the
unknown that separates while binds us
in a matrix of primitive wonder. Dark
Matter is only dark to those accustomed to one
light...for those whose eyes adjust to the
thin horizons of others who have...

Premium Member I Open My Eyes To See
I feel like 
I am all alone in this world 
with eyes
watching my every move

you might think that 
I was paranoid 
but every time I open my eyes
to see 
someone is responding to me 
answering a question I have
but never asked

I turned up the sound...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



Lady of the Night - I
You were born in a war ravaged state
You lost your man to the caprices of fate
You fell prey to your wayward ways
Victims of betrayal, greed or circumstances
You were drowned in the tide of darkness

Depraved incidents of forced sex and perversions
Rooted in carnal desires and unsated...

An Aphoristic Self-Portrait
As a writer, people are my vocation. 
As for humanity, men, women 
And other abstractions, 
Their interests constitute little more 
Than my hobby; I can only deal in people. 
As soon as I start dealing in sects 
And sections, I am either an insider 
Or...

Premium Member Bathroom Graffiti
There was a man who went out late
And tried to rape a .38
He called women "receptacles"
'Til one blew off his testicles....

Dangit
I swept the floor, but it's dirty again...pretty much what I expected.
The accumulation of dirt and grim is something safe to have projected.
If cleanliness is a thing which one truly desires
Then cleaning is an act that never can expire.
Objects long to air exposed become receptacles...

Thy Golden Globe
Wear your gown of golden glow
I’m shallow without your halo
Penetrate my limber' with your warm rays
Unfold into my everlasting Arms
Leave nothing to the red carpet at your feet,
But the footprint of your shimmering heat
Shine like the spotlight you project into the dying limelight
Please pose for...

The Mourning Path - St Louis Cemetery No 2
A tattered Calico traverses the crumbling corridor
dissecting a row of dilapidated sacred structures,
each uniquely indistinguishable from the next.

The wind carries an eerie refrain
as it whistles through the splintered stones,
white-washed to harbor their degeneration.

There's a fragrant stench of wilted petals
lying dormant in stagnant waste.
This potpourri of...

Homeless
The lawyer
who could eat your lunch
ate his quickly
on a cold outdoor bench,
when a revealing breeze 
introduced the pungent odor 
of his new neighbor.
The steely-haired vagrant’s
rumpled visage 
acknowledged by
a right honorable disdain,
he quickly opined
one loses the ability 
to sense one’s own stench 
after days of pissing.
He...

Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma - death in disguise
Makes its appearance before we realize
A stealth adversary lurking in the brain
Metastasizes without restrain
A complex enemy
Untrustworthy
Of unknown origin
Emerging from deep within
Deploying its vascular tentacles
Stealing nutrients from the body’s receptacles
Baffling is its behavior
In search of a savior
Chemo radiotherapy with no other choice
Unable...

Dying Ashes
I venture through the toiling of days
Crumbling nights
Ever hopeful though chanting septic cries,
Dawn creeps past worn-out
eye receptacles...
and the ashen graves they see
They once burnt benevolently 
for scarred hours
But now reflect the red glow
of dying ashes,
Fate has laid them in careful rows
beside the graves.
Seen from above,
they...

The Goddess of the Severn
Pulses drown saturated elvers 
As a crescent delivers it's catch
White bellied roaches slap and disperse
Pierced and broken suckers latch
Flushed forearms lock with a match
Bleached fingers curl fiercely
Cartilage and rods attach
Each standard raised taking a liberty

Vectors detonate a verse
Chassis release their clutch
Barbels gulp at a netted...

Concert
We gaze
The rock star serenades us
With platitudes
Neither near or far
Though only attainable
Appreciated
By submission
By admission
That you will never be
Never wander
Never wonder
For they've performed the
Magic for us
Catapulting rage into
Sweetened sirens
Alert
Only to string us down the toxic path
Of misty false alarms
Yeah
Our fists soar
We're with them
We're one
We're them
The cautionary...
