Our Words

Each morning we’d sweep up words,
and shove them under rugs -
or coffee table books.
A few words escaped to the garden
Where they poisoned the peach tree.

Some of our words
were overheard in Mongolia
carried upon tundra winds.
Painted walls blistered from the insults,
the cat got so high-strung
we had to send it away to be done.

We confided to our woe begotten priest,
who incoherently denounced us
while scratching his ball-sack.

When our son came home from University
we lied brightly to him while
hiding our eyes behind creamy court documents.
Later our smiles were smeared on wet bedsheets.

We were still sharpening words like lead pencils
when passing crows commenced to ape our manners.
At last, exhausted by all that love
we slept peacefully in each other’s arms.

Premium Member Witnessed a Robbery

Witnessed a robbery take place yesterday

As incredulous as this may seem

Was sitting in the food court at the local mall

Happily minding my own business

When all of a sudden I hear this guy ranting and raving

Slamming his leather bag down on one of the tables

Marching over to the coffee stand

Which had an assortment of sandwiches and drinks

Displayed in front which were accessible to the customers

Proceeds to pick up a sandwich and a bottle of juice

And goes storming off into the mall concourse

Without paying, yaking incoherently as he goes

People just sat there dumbfounded

Wondering what the hell just happened

We all witnessed this act take place

None of us reacted or believed what we just saw

Now this was either a looney toons type guy

Not responsible for his strange behaviour

Or a very clever, creative crook

Making us think he was looney toons

Assuming the average person wouldn't react

Enabling him to get away with this unimpeded

He was later apprehended by mall security

But we never did find out the whole story

Hmmm! Pretty creative I must say

If indeed it was a preconceived masterful plan

Premium Member Craziest Time In the Woods

As I was walking in the woods, admiring the beauty,
I saw a brook that babbled nonstop, so incoherently,
Humming as I strolled the summertime most fruitfully,
I noticed gay purple hummingdirds, accompanying me!

A meadow revealed yellow butterflies so aptly named,
Swarming in the golden sunshine, wild and untamed,
Enjoying their moment of bliss, before sunset flamed,
Putting an end to the hour, that nature had acclaimed!

Then I saw pretty ladybug, refined and full of grace,
Dancing to enchanted breezes, in Queen Anne's lace.
A sudden sound alarmed me, but it was only a rabbit,
Running like the wind, as if it was customary habit!

And when I turned my head to an emerald green tree,
There sat a blue mockingbird, that was teasing me.
The colorful day wore on, until long shadows finally-
Which I became aware, were now shadowing me constantly!

Premium Member Flirt with my Demons

This house has been set ablaze; ashes rain like snow,
covering what has become my deathbed.
A weighted blanket of ruins lies heavy upon my chest.
Laboured breaths and the taste of soot coat the back of my throat,
stifling oxygen from reaching the whites of enervated eyes.
Blue-tinted lips incoherently whisper, flirting with my demons,
living in purgatorial gloaming
whilst my spirit hovers between diminishing light and shadows.

Reality blurs, amalgamating with hallucinations
where demons dance in a macabre ballet,
reenacting repressed sorrows,
torturing an undead heart to the brink of insanity.
With each twirl, each act, tales of desperation are etched onto flesh.
Riverlets of blood stain the sheets bright red,
as tourniquets are nowhere to be found.
There is no way to halt the flow;
emotional instability will be my bloodletting.

Every second ticks by a little quicker
until each heartbeat grows fainter.
A clenched jaw relents,
eyes roll backwards,
and a damaged soul is severed from its mortal coil,
yet its fate is left undetermined,
flailing in the in-between forevermore.

Premium Member Tearful

“Give them back! Give my tears back, right now—with interest!!”
—Natsuki Takaya


 She wrote her marine a letter, hopeful, bright
loved with her kisses and perfume. In sight,
the postman circles ‘round. Expectantly, she
hurries to the wooden box, near the Pear tree.

Spring is in the air with robins mating, daffodils
in potent bloom and the sudden goosebump’ chills.
Sarah shuts her bedroom door, pounces on bed,
allows steam to open the envelope, read what’s said.

“Dear Sarah, soon I go into the fight, I will write more
later, after the attack. Kiss kiss, x x, hug hug score.”
Later he continues with blood, sweat and tears.
Incoherently, blots - black and blue, slide down. Fears

march up and down her spine. Vietnam’s magic trick
was to steal her joy and love. America’s turning quick -
long ere, a neighbor, fathomed regress from her guy,
which would rip the torrential tearful cloud of her eye.

Tempestuous Self-Esteem

Expectations brings
about self deprecations,
sometimes I wonder if 
the thoughts running 
through my head are 
my own or somebody 
else’s?

The world lives
in constant turmoil,
waves crashing,
tides swerving in
and out from open-
ended beaches,
abysmal delays of
the lighthouse directory,
guided by supplemental 
shocks of lightening
rays trajectory.

I stand firmly in front
of the baseless sandcastle,
a fragile foundation of
past voices from lurking
shadows who slowly 
poisoned its interior,

lack of motivation,
wandering in between 
spaces incoherently,
my mind in anxiety help-
lessly what I could
not understand,
the words stare back
at me in silence gradually 
suppressing the last 
bit of life found closing
in underneath,

time holds on as
it falls into deep
sleep.

Fortunately, where I live, entertainment is free.
Neighbors always sparring back and forth. 
Through layers of blistered clapboard poverty...
One time they really tied one on; he was barking incoherently. 
She volleyed back, calling him "Mr. Teeny Weeny."
Afterwards there was nothing but a hard silence.
I hadn't laughed like that in a long, long while.

Just last fall, a father and son were in front of my house. 
Knives in hand, ready to carve each other into bloody clowns.
I didn't call the cops; I just watched in silent awe. 
Wide-eyed and waiting for the scythe to fall.

There's no future in being the neighborhood snitch.
Unfortunately, both of the clowns stumbled away and lived.

Premium Member Not All Mainstream

Just because my eyes are uneven
And my teeth are tinged with green
Doesn't mean I'm unattractive
Means my looks are not mainstream

I sometimes babble incoherently
But my words still have importance
Everyone has an opinion to express
Some of us have more discordance

So what if my hair grows out in tuffs
And my nose is crooked and bent
It's what's upstairs that really counts
It's the brains that pay the rent

So when you see a strange looking person
Who's considered a little extreme
Remember we're all in this together
But we're not all a part of mainstream

Premium Member Love Can Be A Pain


Love can be such a gol darn pain
A delicious delectable pain
With a large helping of hugs and kisses
It can just about drive you insane

More than once I heard someone ask
Is it really worth all the trouble
You better believe it at half the price
Nothing else bursts my bubble

You sweat and mumble incoherently
To concentrate it's really no use
Useless as dangly things under a bull 
Totally and so udderly obtuse

So what can you do if you get infected
Well there's really no known cure
Just dive right in swim around for a while
You'll wanna stay I'm pretty sure

Let me know how that all works out
Many have tried it's well known
Never were cured spend a lifetime in love
Now resting comfortably in a home
