Long Bs Poems

Village in the Valley left behind, and then it's a fine find
Mountain in the making...in the dark alleys of my mind

You're a flashlight
In the night
You are a friend 
Till the end
Bite the bullet
You're the village...

Ah yeah ah oh
So scared and fragile...
So weak for only awhile...
Unfaithful me is as cold as glaciers of disgrace glamorized 
Unfaithful you is as hot as fire of desire, burning...you and I...

Stuck in place…
Free in space…
you’re insane 
I’m as sweet as sugar cane…
Whatever happened to your unique personality?
Whatever happened to your sanity? 
Has it transformed to insanity?
I like the way you make me feel
Oh, you don’t...

Hiding under the communist cap with the features of a pussycat

Rewind
By Julia Shaw

At seventy-two my life has been so very fine,
That I'd like to push a button and just rewind.
I'd go back to my wedding day so exciting
And marry again the man I found so...

I'm sorry, I just can't do this
Wait why apologize, I'm not sorry
I can't go through with it anymore
holding my tongue
This isn't fair; IT'S NOT FAIR

strong arm broken, seven piles of...

Felt like hurting myself tonight
Fighting with me, myself and I with might
But, now I want to dance the night away
Now, I want to sing my heart away
But, it’s time to rest
It’s time to try my...

When we were young,
I held my long tongue
Foolishly sheepish 
Life is a sea full of fish

Good times spent with you mindlessly 
Boy, I don't feel guilty for being your minion of troublesome crime...spent so playfully...

 This should be read as though sung as a Country Western song

I searched the junk food aisle 

And the basin of a bowl (looked real, real hard there)

I don’t mind what others’ think when we’re together…
It’s not like it’s gonna last forever…

God’s Kingdom come
Before I start growing numb
God’s Kingdom come
Before the beat gets me feeling dumb
God’s Kingdom come
Before I start growing numb
God’s...

Memories in boxes 
By lady Arabella

Each one holds a memory which time cannot fade
From old school reports that showed all I...

America...

After 9/11, the country seemed reborn
Ready to shift from the shallow to the profound

What ever happened to the America that could have been?
What ever happened to the America we deserve?

Step into my church
And pray
For a...

staring into my energized eyes with your black buttons
that got stuck within the orbits of your head, and
i feel as though i just might go apeshit

along the way,
i've...

I got to grind
All the time
In order to rise
As it coincides and goes with time
An ode that's signed
With an open mind
Looking at it from both sides 
Otherwise
I'll just nosedive 
If I fuss and whine
When there's...

One dismal dark decaying depraved day

Surrounded by the sounds of...

Started before last October
Going beyond Passover
Pettiness and greed always gave off a bad odor

I don't know if I'll ever have closure
Rarely ever am I that sober
For the longest time, it's been just me and Rover

I am going to write a funny poem
Why does life have tomorrow?
Because if it doesn't 
Wouldn't you have it today?
Far near
How far is far
And how near is near?
Close enough to me
You are too close
