Premium Member Epiphany - Poetry Contest by Constance La France

Upon trying to stimulate my pineal gland
Through OM chanting for the first time
There before me in the silence that ensued
I saw a great void of raw existence
Frozen and unassuming
Like a door I’ve never opened
In a place I’ve lived my whole life
Everything and nothing was different
Staring at the cat between my feet
I reached down to touch it
And got to see where they exist

I should stop writing because
I feel like I’m bastardizing the eternal
Making a vain sport of it with a poetic devise
I am the very void upon which I now gawk
I took off my clothes to excuse my presence
I should not post this but probably will

Life remains a grand head game
Even after you’ve awakened the divine
Seeing the sacred should change one’s life
but now I’m not sure 

Perhaps this is the true epiphany

Rise Up

If I don't slow down I may miss what my path is.
So I think I'll slow down and maybe let him kiss.
My lips and i don't mean the ones on my face
No longer will beg for him to stay just in case
Someone needed me to make them fell better.
Oh yeah I bet my pussy gets even more wetter.
Than anyone you ever knew or you slept with.
Especially when I'm sucking dick it turns me on.
I mean it makes me moan when it makes me choke
My head game is official just ask anyone I sucked .
Make them scream your name and say I love you.
You don't know what love is you really have no clue.
How your suppose to be around the person you love
But your coming up and your rising all the way above.

Premium Member Golf's a Head Game

In a rut
                      No but
                 Make your putt


She Told Me What She Wanted Without the Head Game

"SHE TOLD ME WHAT SHE 
WANTED WITHOUT THE HEAD GAME"


I poured myself a drink. 
I lit my cigar and hit the machine. 
after I finished with the poem, 
I sent it over to Janine. 
she read it and was direct: 
“I feel like I should be in a lot 
more of your poems.” 
I pulled the last poem from the 
typer and wrote about her. 
she makes me think of all the 
lovers I’ve had. 
had they just told me what they 
wanted, the bull-!@#$ would’ve been 
less than it was. 
it isn’t hard to figure out: 
tell Eddie what you want and you’ll 
get it. 
leave that “guess the emotion,” 
game for the immature. 
to all the ladies of my past, 
to all the women of my past, 
to all the bitches of my past, 
to all the whores of my past, 
learn from Janine. 
she accomplished what every whore 
has failed at: 
communication. 
I would call up every female 
from my past but would they 
understand? 
I think you know the answer.

Thought Impregnated

Mental foreplay

In five, four, three

two, one and 

three quarters...

Take over your mind

like an anticipated

blast off.

Lay in your cerebellum

Your thoughts known

Your heart my home

Naked and open

With strength

comes focus

therefore know this

Whatever you write

Leave space

Cause your every

thought I'm going 

to finish. 

Mental impregnation

head game that

produces an unbelievable

way of thinking. 

Word play,

how life and death

is in the power of the tongue

let's see how close I can

get to making you...

finish sentences

that end in expletives

and exclamations

Pistol Ready 2

Hood fellow, pull her hair like I do the trigger
Plenty of cash, don't care if she's a gold-digger
She broke-up with her ex and got me, lost and found
Get in bed, take out my pistol, let off a round
Shoot her up, shoot her up, bang, bang
Blowing on my mic', the best song she ever sang

Got flavor, cold with all this ice, like a 'Slurpee'

Got something for your chick to drink, she slurps me

Definitely ain't praying, but she gets on her knees

Her head game is fire, nine-hundred-degrees

It's like she's educating me, gives me good brain

While she's down there, I pull her hair, like a horse's mane

She's a vampire, sucking on the neck of my second head

Not the one on my shoulders, but the one used in bed

She told me to eat her out, went down and bit it

She can't stand violence, but loves the way I hit it

Beat the 'Coochie' up, bedroom turned into a boxing arena

Call it domestic violence, no court, no subpoena

Riding me, I'm thinking 'bout gettin' her a saddle

We rocking the boat right now, ain't got a paddle

Making a movie, this the best part, 'bout to climax

She loves when I come over, got everything her man lacks


Premium Member Why I Occupy

There is a head game
that none of us wants but
it's there anyway.

There is a head game
that interferes with what we are trying
(in all of our fumbling ineptitude) to say.

There is a head game
that distracts us from quality of life
to
the quantity of stuff for which we must pay.

There is a heart game
that giggles and grins and cares....

I wanna go that way.
