What Would Be Life Without You

Never have I experienced this feeling before,
So warm, so cozy,so accommodating.I can't rescue  myself because you've dragged into this pool of love.
Quench my thirst with your love that comes from your heart which is everflowing.
Turn your eyes from me,they are holding me captive because the look in your eyes,my sweetheart has stolen my heart.
Your love is better than wine, your fragrance better than any spice.
Close your heart to every love but mine,hold no one in your arms but me for love is as powerful as death,passion as Strong as death itself.
It bursts into flames and burns like a raging fire.
Water cannot put it out;no flood can drown it.


I Wait With Bated Breath

I Wait With Bated Breath...
(slack jaw froze mine countenance
when eyes blinded with figurative
daggers asper mistakes in original draft,
hence...this flood proof, fire resistant,
and fever reducing error free version.)

(yes...yes...yes, this rhyme
resembles a recent one of mine
     from a previous time,
yet appropriating wands zone writing  
     haint no crime -
at least not yet!)

Okay bull heave me you, 
     at this moment 
     alm completely unaware
     what the a muse zing
genie of poetic
     inspiration will bring
possibly shelving what Calliope
     holds in store for me,

     meanwhile now
     with impatience it ching
visa vis to discover 
     what this Earthling,
(albeit modest) will be amazingly
     graced with pizazz, meanwhile aye fling
haphazardly, indiscriminately,
     and jocosely blitz

krieg feebly attempting
     to contrive ingeniousness emits
poetic prestidigitation in fits
and starts, sans "FAKE" wits
as this humble
     human imperceptibly orbitz
around mister Sun,
     (which about bajillion years

     from now suddenly quits)
shining foisting misery,
     where Nyx knocks
     (paddy whack give
     my dog a bone...) divinely,
     knowingly and spiritedly visits
(believe me you) this trumpeting
     stupid moron loser

     forever doth taint
after this moment
     (no need tubby saint
lee and suppress any quaint
gut wrenching chortle)
     at what aint
     no farce), nor literary feint
yours truly painfully,

     sorrowfully, and verily avers,
     he now lacks fire and fury
     (as if nettled and docked by burrs)
nonetheless, which ambition
     dust hanker mink thinks furs,
and foremost (Tom
     morrow i.e. purrs
sues tha owl mighty,

    where fame posthumously spurs
     me amidst pantheon
     of great writers
which dream dashed
     into a million,

     (no...no...no...not
     bajillion this instance,
     though good guess) pieces
abysmal silence replacing 
     (palimpsest like),
     mine over active imagination whirs.

Premium Member Dramatic Verse--Lampoon


Once again, he dresses himself with flour-puffed face,neck ruffles and oversized shoes ,
all this fanfare for kids wiggling Barney  Bailey shrieks : 
He juggles coins,  flashes a silly mime while blistered thoughts knead in the circus of a mind:
his son lost lying in a bed of snuffed dreams exiting from the ghastly night while clouds dim beneath the marquee...

Giggles flood the rows where laughter drowns a sea of guffaws; a moment when life becomes a lampoon  a farce
an illusion :
No one knows the polka dot tears which press inside a clown's leaking heart
as he traces the wild grins of youngsters seeking his presence ,

youngsters like his own lifeless child--
own child he did not watch go the light...
his false laughter turns into silent howls 
imploring just an intermission from
the stage.
But the show must go on where the absurdity of man is , once again , enacted.

Trash Talking At It's Finest

The continued story of this poet
Haters r going to be mad that I even wrote it
Here is where I give u "The Business"
Like a lightning bolt striking with a quickness
Trust me, u haven't heard the best of it
A debt to collect and I'm gonna settle it
Mouths sown shut like a gangsters lips
Leave everybody sleeping with the fishes
The lips tell no lies just like a politician
This is the Sh*t Talkers Edition 

I don't do well staying inside the box
I'm better at picking locks
But ur lady just lets me in when I knock
Words like cells in my blood
Flowing through these veins like the levee during a flood
No filter from the brain to my paper
Just a figment of imaginary literature, kinda like vapor
In the Poetic Justice League and I'm the Caped Crusader
By the end I'll be your Daddy like Darth Vader
Enough of the dilly dallying and chitter chatter
Down to Brass tax, nitty gritty, the heart of the matter 

All in ur face, screaming, "U can't see me!"
Letting words "Float like a butterfly & sting like a bee"
Leaving all the drama behind me
From this point forward
Pulling all the hit contracts I ordered
"Keep Stepping" and move forward
Wouldn't still be here if it wasn't for the Lord 

Got an ppointment with fate,
Best not be late
Happiness & havoc is what I hope to create
If u haven't notice I am a Problem
U better have listened to everything I told them
A fresh canvas has endless possibilities
Maybe a mural of myself among other Poetic Deities
Or a sketch of the lies that I made those people believe
Truth is gray and things aren't what they seem to be

Total War

Tread not on me, brother!
To live is to expand.
Deterrence! Slay the Other!
Cold core countermand!

Boots a-click-clack, cobblestone.
Midnight raid and how!
Help the boy to hold his own!
Sacred, O my cow!

Written in the ancient s blood?
Time to cause a flood!
Rill and river, ricin, rud!
Break, fade, flash, firewood!

Bats before the bayonets?
Batons too can kill.
Settle in before she sets?
Providence, thy will.

Wild as any modern force?
Stranger than the sea?
Shift, O river, from thy course?
Not the likes of me!

Covert action! Civilize!
Cut them down to size!
Aim for whites of foemen eyes!
Dare to criticize?

Thunder, roll o'er city street!
Alarums to ring!
Riot team, best ye complete!
Jerk them on the string!

Silent aftermath, thy path.
Kingdom, how ye grew.
Pour out poison on the math!
Hope, need talking to...

Premium Member Catarrh and Catharsis

... stalactites hung like dystopian snot from a statue 

her brain was frozen and formed ice in her mind

a lacuna without inlet or outlet arrested in time

mind’s skates tied up in bundles of snowflakes

gloves off for defeat with all speed set in arrest

not even her black woollen hat showed any signs

of thawing heart-warming emotions for comfort


empty speech bubbles covered her scraped tongue

where a mouth-watering waterfall should pursue

a pick axe with nothing left to dissect or construct

dangled from a callous corpus callosum in pain

unable to connect right left wrong or left to correct

this was not what searching tranquillity had promised 

in contrast transcendence wept at chilly flood gates


a voice that had so much to part with in a landscape

of permanent layers of verglas onto vaporous rime 

she wished for some slime or yuck glopping goo

but permafrost refused a glimpse of impermanence

a fool thought it funny to stick a carrot in her nostril

helpless she could not leave the vegetative state of affairs

clung to a string of crystal beads at pearly gates of no return


this is a lie I am Pinocchio at the threshold of truth

a metaphor unable to break the spell of apocalypse

unfulfilled amphora and vessel that can’t even leak

incontinence at the pointless orifice of evacuation

without one drop of hope for cataracts to dissolve

a lonely icebreaker with nothing left to crack open

where a firm skull should harbour my residual flow


when a polar bear embraced her unbalanced spectre

shared his white furry coat under a mantle of darkness

shales of introjection floated away from the solar eclipse

which had sheltered her from a charcoaled manic cauldron

touching middle grounds in between scorching euphoria

and lifeless apathy just long enough to remember that she had

not taken her medication and the self-help manual was useless


sometimes catharsis has to wait for one small lucid moment

when a beak meets a beaker and cascades start from a dribble

The Romantic Past

A true-love gone to tears,
As lost-love came to be.
Sandy writes her heart out,
Through her love of poetry.

Her ex and her children,
Moved to a different state.
When left all alone it caused,
Her aching heart to break.

With a flood of memories,
Of the past and all its’ hurts.
She embedded all her pain,
In the stanzas of her work.

Her heart channeled through,
The writings of her pen.
Describing the life of love,
That she was living in.

She had found true-love,
But the love did not last.
Sandy Schermerhorn loves, 
Writing the romantic past.

Dedicated to Sandy Shermerhorn,

Premium Member The Pieces of Me

  

"Our differences are like the pieces of a puzzle called life."
  

I grew up a girl with lots of missing pieces,
and I am still an unsolved mystery;
oh, if I could gather them all,
all the pretty colors and hues of me.

All the pieces of my journey have been scattered,
and have left my soul shattered and tattered;
leaving me questions and query,
with no answers that leave me quite teary.

Life can be just jagged, broken, fragmented pieces,
ups, downs- frustration that never ceases;
some pieces open a flood gate,
to discovering this life's true purpose and fate.

I collect all the pieces that I find in life,
all the lost, weird, odd, and tattered pieces;
and I will always be searching,
for the corners, frame and inside of my puzzle.

 
"Its all the odd shaped pieces, all the missing 
ones, that will create the masterpiece that is me."

                                        Quote _by Constance

I Breathe Poetry

I breathe poetry into my lungs, 
It is my lifeline, 
Together, we have climbed many rungs, 
'tis a great pastime! 

I breathe poetry out to the world, 
It is my message, 
My thoughts in rhymes and verses unfurled
on the written page! 

I breathe poetry into my veins, 
It refreshes me, 
I pen it down in rhythmic refrains, 
'tis my muse's plea! 

I breathe poetry out to the earth, 
It is my musing, 
I etch it in paper for it's worth
someone's perusing! 

I breathe poetry into my blood, 
It keeps me alive, 
I cannot stem it when feelings flood, 
It helps my mind thrive!
