I'm sorry for not being ready.  
I'm sorry for everything. 
It's my fault. All of it. 
I'm...

The pieces set, black against white, the game played a thousand times before

It's all smoke and mirrors,
Cocooned in magenta mascara and lavender lace,
The ever-elusive ivory stag now backed into a corner,
Delighting in an artificial solitude's icy embrace,
Brandishing a jaw of pearls to sheathe the dagger up her...

Darkness surrounds me, completely shrouded, 
Thinking and movements totally clouded
Try to run but my legs go weak
I hear movement, the stairs creak
Hidden behind a cupboard, crouched on the floor
I reflect how it started, with an...

Penelope’s in a hopeless quandary, backed into a corner.
She enjoyed the flirt of youth. Had no one warned her?
She rejected freedom of reflection. ‘Who’s she? ...not a saint.’
Penelope painted on her face, mirror-perfection - faithfully...

THE MEDIA SHOUTS AND CLAIMS.
THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY OUT.
I AND MANY OTHERS,
SEEM TO HAVE SERIOUS DOUBTS.

POLITICAL PRISONERS VS.
POLITICAL SLAVES.
WITH THEIR UNENDING MANDATES
WAVE AFTER WAVE.

WITH NO PROOF OR EVIDENCE
AND NO RESEARCH FILES.
TO UNCOVER, 
THE NAKED TRUTH

I can’t believe, I did what I did.
I didn’t want them to catch me, so I ran and I hid.

Errors on Putins bungled invasion are beginning to show
As this obscene war progresses, his loss list will grow
He thought rolling in his tanks, it would take but a day
But the west is supporting Ukraine and...

Yet it seems like that’s all I feel

The US Election Blues

Two heavyweight fighters
standing in a ring
who’ll make it to The White House
who’ll get the final swing?
Drink, till it’s all over

I’ve got the transatlantic
no hope US election blues.

i used to know love
take her out and tell her how i feel
promise the world 
over the moon
laughing into a sunset
Televisions for mirrors
best and amazing dripping on every kiss
sugar down the funnel

i worshipped the idea

hy does my skin feel so cold
A stray thought
resting on my lonely mind
The feeling of warmth

NEXT QUEET
10-18-2015 by jr Thornton
“Did you mean all those?
All the ones built to hurt.”
Is there form, plan, or purpose?
To those devices
To the bridge connecting
Was it intention to make sure it has burnt?

Maliciously never-ending
Devoid of way...

Check the facts: backed into a corner
Category: bad idea
Resultant feeling: no safe way out 
View from the other side: captive audience
Perspective from corner: unable to hear
It all dampens down except the...

So near so far doesn’t matter 
Hanging my head in shame 
Been to the track once more

Indifferent to my pain 
Chosen by a path of...

What would sly look like
would there be any foxiness

a million clones
with black tie and white shirts

Reality set in, I was with the 8th wonder; days are limited of happiness

Have no room for it; but no control; when it comes to,...

Dark clouds rise in the skies with the high pitch
of loud thunder
Even the old to the young can't escape the destruction
of society's outrageous plunder.
Shredded clothes, 
Aching bones, 
and ripped souls leaves physical impressions of a...
