Saint of Lust
Saint of Lust

Release these chains of tortured deeds
Along a sculpted veering hedge
Upon this path where darkness feeds
Of jagged cliff so near the edge

For one false move, beware ahead
Beneath the agony now shown
Within these eyes and lips of red
Sit heartless wishes winged and thrown

So find from...

Corruption Crusader
I cannot focus on the focal point to equivocal, the pain in my memory, to memorial site. The night smells gunpowder in the middle galaxy to summon the smart, south to Saturn where I rest my head. The soup cannot aroma from arrow to victory...

Ode To Arachne
Lustrous  black  hangs  over  pale  skin
Gleaming  green  under  deities  sight
Wheeling  toes  transfer  lanolin
Watchers  skill  shadows  this  neophyte
Who's  damning  dexterity  draws  in  
The  old...

Premium Member Toast
A picture that whets the appetite
Lightly browned toast standing upright
Hemmed in on each side by jarred jam
Glasses filled with honey thus far
Upon a wooden table sits
A treat fit for nobility

Alive with beauty sits the meal
Upon the table fair
The lightly browned toast bids welcome
As does the...

Premium Member Wind Is Pounding In My Heart
'wind is pounding in my heart'

It tears across the steppes and plain, it guides my mind and eases pain
Whithin the yurt, upon the road, it whets my mind; eases the loads
I've rode it's Breast ten thousand times,' with banner high the yak tails nine

Poets
Words unspoken dwell within the poet
The ink of inspiration whets his quill
Scribed upon the page with driven hand

Faith Keeps Us Apart
It seems the path Iam on  is changing everyday
the road uncertain just an endless shapeless gray
some would say it would all be clearer if I took up there religion
even with the doubt Iam not scared enough for that decision

I see the faith you placed...

Truths
As another wench fails to tie tiger’s tail, the bear is let loose again.

Honey was shared, but hearts weren’t paired, so the shark resumes his top fin.

It’s hard to regret Ethiopian whets, and the taste of turmeric sticks too.
Yet all was shut down, when he...

Premium Member Let It Be Told
Visions and dreams
what does it mean
I'm open hearted I'm open hearted;
just getting started;
with the truth of this world;
let it be told;
post the bail;
land in jail;
what's for sale;
doesn't matter anymore...
cruel renditions of emotions of people are used to;
used to cruelness, what's bliss, whets this
that is what...

Incorrigible Lottery Dreamer

Yours Truly Embarks On Wild Goose Chase After Elusive Pot of Gold
alternately titled: incorrigible lottery dreamer
big plans to relocate self and spouse
to some tropical island paradise
by the dashboard light
(the above line credited
to musician named Meatloaf)
upon arrival of my steamer.

A fool's errand finds me emptying out billfold,
especially as the winnings increase ninefold.

Paradise visage and eyes a bulge...
