Lento Poems | Examples

Premium Member The Strange

Strawberry pie and school girl scribbles, 
pleasantry lingers with that poised drawl. 
Tea on the side of polite conversation,
baby that mask isn’t who she is at all. 

It transforms based on your energy,
bit by bit the least visible lines change.
Admit that you too have hidden horns
two-bit words cannot hide the strange.

Premium Member Infractions

Class can leave you in a hurry,
bypass that final lavish taste.
Glass on asphalt left shattering,
alas it cannot be replaced.

Stay focused on keeping control,
survey your impulsive actions.
Convey a sense of decorum,
 portray no further infractions.

Premium Member Spew

Riding along a tongue full of bees
biding my time until I can free them.
Sliding inside they're stinging my skin,
inciting all of this pent up phlegm. 

You took too lightly my hard restraint
blew a smoky swarm into my face. 
Spew, I have the wildfire to rise up.
Debut, watch me dominate this space.


Premium Member The Chateau

All of those rooms I still dream of 
install a flame right under me.
Crawl if needed run when you can,
ball like a boss fight eagerly.

Renovate an outdated thought,
fate snuffed it out so long ago.
Elevate to match new enterprise,
create ‘A list’ I’m the chateau.

Premium Member Time Is Running Out

Right and wrong are human concepts, and like
night and day, it's clear what sets them apart.
Fight or flight, warps my outlook and clouds my
Sight, for I stop listening to my heart.

My world is changing so negatively,
I now fear what tomorrow may bring.
Sky-high prices fuel inflation while
sly grifters promote bitcoins, memes, and bling.

Folks are tethered to smartphones that feel like
yokes around their necks, keeping them online.
Hoax or not, climate change is happening,
oak and elm are being replaced by pine.

Crime and anxiety are starting to
climb, and everyone's filled with dread and fear.
I'm afraid that the world is primed for war,
time is fast running out; that much seems clear.

Premium Member Extremes

Mile high eyes Miss Imagination,
beguile us with a new fairy tale.
Style the hair of an unruly wish
while writing a journey at grande scale.

No way let your eyes start to open,
throw out reality for daydreams.
Below your lids let your mind wander,
go past what is known aim for extremes.


hypothermia of mussels, or untitled

Footprints walking our snowy, sandy place
The silence, oh, how she makes it nimbus —
The waves unchanged after falling snow crown,
Someone else in you and I; remember — ?

   I look for the heart of these ebbing shells.
   The cleanup of sea froze to this blizzard.
   In my mouth, her hair — tongue stirs minuet
   Through silver glitter of ice, nor'easter.    

Like a whipped fish hanging onto a dock,
Through a tipping sun in your Aqua eyes,
Like the snow — a chilly buoy's heartthrob;
Will the ocean between us melt in time — ?

   Another white wing like frost from seagulls
   On frigid beach's body; letters traced —  
   Within the surf, our names' wipeout; and still
   Winter goes without us, in snow and gray.

Premium Member Light And Shadow

Your luminous light and dark shadow.
Glamour what is it you’ve done to me? 
Swore you did to leave me as you found,
clamor in my head swings violently;

Fall? I swore I would not let happen! 
All I do is daydream of your lips.
Call me addicted I’m your sucker,
waterfall of those hands on my hips.

Premium Member Your love

Your love engulfs me with 
flames no matter what 
I am always drawn to your 
flames knowing the dangers 
knowing I'm afraid our love 
shall torch the sky an 
yet here am I thinking of 
you wishing you were 
here to hold me in your 
arms it is but wonderful right
memories are all I got 
afterall I'm here you're not

Love

My Love
If love given is life 
Then you my love are immortal 
The Love I give you is infinite

Premium Member The blue oyster

It was just like before riding my bicycle along the beach my tire rolls right over a star fish braising bump and scratches on my knee the gulf was thirsty for human blood this year as the manatees floated belly up the pelicans shivered with empty beaks again the school of sharks gathered while the dolphins danced chattered sea urchin washed ashore I put salt water on my wounds feeling sad that the sea turtles rushed back to sea unaware of the mexican oil spill there home covered in black tar I walked my bike passed the book store just in time for bob crab shacks oyster bar funny the owner yelled come on in gal why you looking so blue in that moment the blue oyster became my signature name on the beach the sun shined the breeze blew softly over the nape of my back silence abode over the Caribbean Sea

Premium Member Kandahar

All terrain passing over sand stones from a distance catering to the hillside the mountain sent down a calming coolness while the barrels of oil leaked my minds eye focused on the stone slabs beneath the mountaintop grinding as the convoy entered the hidden nooks conveyed by night hiding under day teal lavender fabric covered my being hints of dates aroused my senses while meaningful gestures crowded my space chatter invaded this telepathically disdained balance covenant by old disagreements that poured out into the caves my knees trembled as I'm being quite pampered by kings giant screems facing every direction nations gathering for a group meet up my hands are kissed peppermint teas are chills served in brass tea containers looking over the world exploding I am comforted i am safe I am kandahar
