Best Slickness Poems
The City and the State of Play TodayTHE CITY AND THE STATE OF PLAY TODAY
No one worries about morals today
They follow the rules they create
So to them all is ok
Those on the outside looking in
Are the only ones feeling queasy
As avarice and selfishness triumphs
So easily
Good corporate citizens they...

The UniformI noticed the uniform, and the heavy soled shinny black boots
Not the man within it, I apologized.
I remember the clean fresh smell of maleness, as they stormed into the house,
Broken glass, ripped down hangings, a slashed sofa, a pulled curtain,
A sudden maneuver to throw my...

Jungle Warfare - Vietnam WarThe slickness of a blade
pressing against a throat....
the cold steel meeting tender flesh
blood drips and a body tumbles
the taste.... the sight... the sound....
all quite euphoric.....
Ripped clothes, smashed items,
echo screams, and the raging fires that glow throughout the night
The beauty.... the savagery.... the destruction
all...

The Bodyguard Who Outsmarted the Queen-Once Upon a TimeLocked in the largest room of the palace,
you live days in dire existence,
sunshine caresses you with sun rays,
breeze makes you breathe life;
anything at the swish of a wand is
given to you, lonely princess of Wales!
He has no loyal blood in him,
and as many children...

Dramatic Monologue
IcyInhospitable stares;
Invisible slickness;
Incandescent beauty
In glacial scenes so fair!
Immense chill on a breeze!
Imbibing an *Icee -
Instant, intense brain-freeze!

too quickly it sometimes feels like you get a...

The Beauty of CombatCombat....
though morbid in nature, there is a sense of beauty....
for example -
the bullet and it's chamber
the slickness of steel, and the power of the trigger
which together correlates the symphony of motion
from the time the trigger is pulled, to the
daunting escape of...

Everything Isn'T What It SeemsI love you... I love you too
For it seems life a lifetime that we were meant to be.
Thy dream has come true
Our dreams turned into days, then months, and lastly
years.
You never saw the hidden mask of secrets...due to his
or her slickness of uniqueness.
The fake smiles...

Virtues and PurityNever stood still on battling ground,
watch the vicious and villainous carnage,
and not fight with true courage...
to increase the sword clanking sound.
Never been humiliated by slandering words not timely,
my silence banished them as they picked up velocity;
I did nothing to vindicate my anger with visceral...

Breakfast Her WayBreakfast Her Way
His lurking sausage rises;
to sun-rise, seeping in, my
outer lips, a mix
blend, of juices that
shiver the inner thigh, patty-
cake, patty-cake, quake, we
bake to shake, bodies in full
throttle, against times love,
where we have sweat rains
pour, dripping sheets, she' ll...

Enclosed Rhyme
WannaGod I wanna touch you
I wanna feel your skin
Meld our bodies to the point
Don't know where mine begins
Wanna put my hands all over you
Trace the indent of your spine
Dig my fingers in your flesh
I wanna make you mine
I really wanna kiss you
Probe inside...

Reservation For OneThe words plunge into my chest like a poisoned dagger.
I frantically tug at the cold knife but to no avail as the venom works its way through my body. My mind desperately attempts to wrap itself around the deadening reality, but the slickness of...

Whisper.Green bottle bottoms swirl sleep in my window
muting the steam from an afternoon bath
Sorting, distorting the lawn and enigmas
which only a dream could decipher, behalf.
You, sitting lazy on the edge of the water
with one hand in suds and the other in air
as we softly discuss...

When Nothing Else MattersEvery night he plays
Lost in a melodic never land
Far beyond the controlled confusion of this place
Where they hear but don’t listen
A man and his woodwind meld so sweet
Like French vanilla melting under a warm butterscotch heat
The brass wears a high shine glisten
Together
They birth a...
