Premium Member Survivors Guilt
It's been ten long years now since that awful tragedy
When a stranger I didn't know, gave his life to save me
I was on the edge of the platform, when I had a heart attack
I clutched my chest in shock and fell forward onto the track.

I'd...

"Sweet child in time,
you'll see the line
the line that's drawn between
good and bad"

Having cold sweats again in this godforsaken ninety degree heat. Shivering uncontrollably. God, what I'd do for a warm comforter right now. Zombies all around me mumbling incoherent poetry no one understands or...

My head feels like it's being squeezed in a vise. Eardrums must have blown out from the explosion since I hear absolutely nothing, not even my own breath. Slowly rising to my feet I survey the damage. Left arm    gone  ...

Premium Member Arthur
He was a tall muscular man, dark-
haired and in the prime of his life.
In horror I watched him stumble and 
fall back, face up onto the green grass.
Three knife wounds cut deep, thrown 
with great speed and precision by
an assassin dressed in black in a
matching...

Premium Member Sea Scars
There’s a story here,

embedded within 

a righteous reef

of broken silence,

where scars remain

engraved on sea stars,

entangled between sand 

in empty oyster shells, 

reminding me

to breathe until i reach

the surface, 

for hope still swims

through the barnacles

that bloom amidst the blues.

These tears mean nothing

and everything

as they define the...

Escaping Rhymed Detonation
Malevolent imploded uncontrollably, 
  twisting wildly maniacal posies
   amid diabolically toasted brainstem, 
angst uncompromisingly yanked tresses 
  purging stinging speech patterned rhymes
 amuck iniquitous poetic verses hung
     upside down to tormentingly dry, 
    facing...

Premium Member Let Me Translate
Let me translate
My love for you
From written.... to spoken....to touched
From syllable sensuality
To physical functionality
From verbal to nonverbal virtual reality

Or better yet
Let me translate them into YOUR language
Yes, I’m a polyglot glutton
craving your satiation
Interjection velocity 
Groan and grope physicality
Touch and tease and taste temerity 
Chaste words...

Premium Member Just a Bit Different
I grew up in Middletown, where everything was pretty much average. 
     Every house, every car, every mom, dad and every kid were all
     just about the same.  Except for Paul Locke.  Paul was the...

Premium Member I Love You
how do i breathe
when you are my air
i am lost & incomplete
without your calm voice..

inside, i shake uncontrollably
as tears stain my face,
no longer an us  now only me
is more than i can bear..

loving thoughts of you
are a deep & painful memory
of the sacred bond...

An Old and Trusted Friend
Tree branches bowed under the weight of the snow, 
like penitents kneeling, as Christmas shoppers reveled 
in the joy of the season. I left the house and struggled 
through the snow-clogged streets to meet a man 
I hadn't seen in years. He was the model...

Defenseless
I am just a swollen bloated thing in this harsh world
Nothing here but the laws of physics upon me hurled
No safety, power, decision is mine as I am uncontrollably twirled

Under and over and across the sweltering haze
Never before feeling, always fleeing from the gaze
Now it...

THE SEA
=======

I stood at the shore and tried to see the end,
I knew it was of no use and no one ever saw it,
Like the sea our life's end is unseen,
Waves go up and down uncontrollably,
so our lives face ups & downs beyond control.

I stood...

From Darkness To Stardom
Every child is born into this world crying,
Little did this poor child know, tears would fall for the rest of her life.
Born into a world of abuse, heartache and pain,
With a drug addict, alcoholic abusive father and a heartless mother.
Every day was the same, left...

Premium Member Living With a Stranger - Emotive Write
You stare at me with vacant eyes
It’s like living with a stranger
Tears and tantrums we both despise
Where is the man I once loved?

Locked inside your own little world
Sometimes a piece of music makes you smile
But every day I know I’m losing you
I’m losing you bit...
