Premium Member Moving Mountains
I will move mountains for you, oft said  with little brain and surplus testosterone. But why the plurality? Surely, a single mountain moved is Herculean enough to satisfy the desires of the most covetous princess. Then, what is a mountain? I’m sure a mound or hill won’t do. Also, move; would an inch to the left or right gratify? I think not, dear sir. So,...

Premium Member When the Poem Became Tears
When the poem became tears As the ink drips, I have become an emotional basket case. My keyboard squeals, as the businessman's anxiety climbs At the sound of the opening bells, Tariff wars targeting the poor, Evil Eyes merges with the Texas Tycoons What is the poor trader's offense? Going once, going twice, To be poor is to be...

Confessional Booth Number 9
Streetlight dander. Jawbone asphalt. Blink razors carve her iris script. Rib stars ovulate in feral grates, mechanical tongue juts a bloodline breath. Keystroke ruin writes in collapse, a waveform lodged in sternum glass. Lipsticked rodeo—a gash in faded denim Banana-knuckled hands torch filterless ghosts. Tree-call through copper root systems. Wire-pluck storm, vapor chews the stock market Cancer caught in molar hush, brined in citrine static. She opens...

Premium Member Time
I know the mechanics of Time -- easy enough to add and subtract. Division a realm we can calculate; but, when it comes to continuity, it is an age old question -- Our human heart, an imperfect perfect example: beats can be quantified; but feelings have a strange math all their own...often outside of measurable reason. ...

Thinking morally, Would be for democracy, Rather than dynasty:- At least that's how it should be With belief in liberty A democracy, Is based upon unity; Rather than money:- Well, that’s how it use t be Before today’s tragedy:- Such an erroring, Making a mistake again; Selling out to win:- Why commit a musky sin, Triumphed with poweringing? It’s best to live free, Than in abject mockery Of democracy; Why suffer every day In...

The Cruelty Of Wealth
Wealth, a siren's charm, alluring and bright A pillow's softness, a thimble's gentle might It provides for earthly needs, a feast to behold Yet, in its depths, a darkness unfolds Oh, wealth! Where is thy dominion? Poverty's cold grasp awaits, a dismal throne A worm on a hook, luring the unsuspecting prey Into a realm of excess, where virtues fade away With dastardly...
