Twisted Knickers-Collaboration Open to PoetsSome people wind up with twisted knickers
When they get insulted by nitpickers
Words are sticks and stones
Causing moans and groans
When they hear heckling whispers and snickers
Women used to call knickers 'underpants'
They'd get them twisted with tauntings and rants
Causing quite a rage
No matter their age
As if their...

Limerick
Elephant In the RoomA lack of oxygen, a stifled room
A pregnant pause, apparent gloom
Bitter sighs and angry growls
Upon her face "It's not my fault"
His wrinkled brow, "I'm not to blame!"
Past mistakes that hover now
Where pride as tough as elephant skin
Clinch the eyes where tears begin
While those who made...

Infinity Feat: GeorgeluisGeorgeLuis: Deep demons breaking my heart
But I'm still smiling, trying to play the part
Time, time ticking in my head
Now life is like walking on a thread
Feeling alone, God send an angel instead
Real purpose of smiling again? Is there new love waiting ahead?
My angel...

Jewels of LoveWhen fearful voices in the night began to cry,
Roaring from countless dreams behind the scream,
Dribbled eyes gazing into darkness at the vast sky,
This darksome turn, down into a wet pool of frown.
Perhaps the living of everyday hurts so much
Being stuck in this world always...

Strange DesiresOne can't be a man
Without having strange desires
To sleep in a mother-of-pearl shell
At the bottom of the sea
To swim and dive
In a drop of morning drizzle
To take a delicate snail by the horns
Ride electrons
In their befuddled orbits
Or send an e-mail to Jesus...

The ScarfWinter swirls on the morning mist
Undulating clouds blowing west.
Cobwebs clear with a forceful fist
Winter swirls on the morning mist
A snatch of red wool to untwist
Caught in an updraft on the crest
Winter swirls on the morning mist
Undulating clouds...

The CamarillaThe Camarilla *part 1
She forgets every meaning of untroubled silence and fantasy
Joyful and full of spirit, indulgent ways to live a life in existence
Her unity, filled with haven never again the craven
Allowing to never again be discredited, nor run from her responsibilities
Walking in a...

Dramatic Verse
Lucifer's Incessant DestructionAmidst contortations and grimaces, lucifer laboured.
In two hours and three, the beast was perfect,
Glaring around, he cackled his delight.
"Serpatinus," he spluttered, still cackling
He appeared and in lucifer's hands, fell the snake.
With deceit lurking in his eyes
He fitted it inbetween the beast's thighs
Then opening the gates...

Twisted Or UntwistedTwisted or untwisted,
distorted, coiled, warped,
entwinded and interwoven,
aberrancies cavort.
Sleeping in the sun room,
mattress on the floor,
we thought that was cool then,
back in 1974.
The sun's glare woke me up,
but I kept my eyes shut tight.
Still, with my eyelids firmly closed,
the room was brutally bright.
I was just relaxing...

Crossroads Revised 07 15 2023In the realm of paths diverging, I find my weary feet
So many crossroads I have taken, so many choices incomplete
Yet the haunting memories linger, in shadows I try to dismiss
A tapestry of missteps, a tapestry I yearn to untwist
Lost and befuddled, in the labyrinth of...

In the Palm of Your HandsAs the winter slows down and the wind is not heavy
Your love holds me in the palm of your hands.
You shelter me from the storms and you keep me warm
in the palm of your hands.
When life takes my last breath,
you hold me in the palm...

Lost DreamsI must find all my lost dreams and hold them,
or live a caged bird;
I must gather all that is lost- each gem,
each big dream that over the years has blurred.
Within...

Hello-GoodbyeThe bad habits still exist,
The voices I hear still persist,
I try not to listen, I try to resist,
So I keep on hearing them but I never get the gist,
My mind and heart have been fighting, due for a tryst,
As I fight to untwist your clench...

Not a Contemporarypyramid outlines glazed against desert skyline
castles and teepees in recesses of her mind
daydreams and nightmares she couldn’t shake
through the modern world she tries to break
feeling out of whack
she struggles to look back
knowing her present does not seem contemporary
each incarnation is but temporary
only a famous hypnotherapist
finds...
