Why I Will Always Be Alone



emptiness craving amorosity loathing darkness vintage dreams ravenous/heart gong a silent beat, shivering the desire bed empty since you left. Sex boiling with potent fire, aflame with thought another intracranial aneurysm; ganglion carbuncle inflamed headache tonight lying down before taking a pill. Open then heavily anchored, closed roped in thick tresses bountiful poppy opium smoke. Once was alive then metamorphosised a unisex transmutation: sod-asexual changeling.Come here lick me uplift me load me with your woes want to drink from your mouth a sup sip so succulent splaying my  for you to suck into from, rape me with your love take it all leave now me with nothing at all, a lonesome child.***** Majora two cutaneous folds that extend downward from the mons pubis-+ Pussy — kiss me dead.


Premium Member The Pensive Poet

I sit engulfed in silence.
I lie alone in the immutable dark.
Despondent or merely lazy? Just what am I?
Poetic ideas are empty, my pen is still,
I try to write about my emotions.
Nothing emerges.  There’s only emptiness.

For all around is hushed and all is dead.
How oft have I yearned for poetry?
How oft had I dreamt I am wallowing
In perfect tranquillity?

Sleep brings with it a ghastly dream, 
Going through a portal grey
Into a swirling, ugly, evil fog
Of another time, another world.
Hush, sirens sing a ghastly lyric.
My mind is roped against a mast.

I pass into a shadowy glade
And walk upon a pebbled path,
No footstep resounds back to me
No living thing is seen around.
Lightening snakes amongst the clouds
I expect thunder but hear none,
I see the water fall o'er the brink
No roar registers in my mind.
I wake, I sweat from brow to toe,
I try to rhyme; I try free verse.

I shiver in the heat of muted night.
I wander around my chambers,
Noiseless rooms, devoid of life.
I roam amongst my memories,
Pain grips fast my mourning soul,
Then, unashamed, I weep
And yearn......
Just for an epic poetry.

Who Will Tell How I Roped the Moon

19 May 2018

Who will tell how I roped the moon

When life has changed from place to place
And only in mind will be seen my face

Who will tell the stories I lived
How will be known my life a gift

The places I've wandered the wonders I've met
The good that came with no regret

Stories I've told and no one heard
Who will be left to carry my word

Christ if He did not already know 
Would have questioned what He had to show

So many listened but never heard 
His heart He poured out in every word

Jimmy Stewart was shown his life in a nights swoon
From saving his brother to roping the moon

From saving his town and his families birth
He then knew his life he then knew his worth

Who will show my life for me in time coming soon
Who will tell how I roped the moon

Felipe Fenatto

On a journey without any ends
Felipe never experienced real friend
So then
To start a new trend

He began to stand on two ends
That stand together roped tightly bend
Double douching destiny through a different lens
No pretend just blend

In a different way
Hardly recognized but bold, would say
it does not matter if people turned against me
They were the catapult that landed me on my feet

To see
Life began for me
When I was stepped on talked about misunderstood misery
Art classes choirs filled with glee

No one can be happier than me
See
It took pain to put me were I am
Whether if it were foes, associates or even Fam

Like Joseph in the bible they meant it for bad
Made a smile frown simply sad
Threw in a pit left all alone
Called many of times no one answered the phone

Grown mature and faced many obstacles
Stabbed and pulled like hair follicles
Gifts made room
Standing before great men women even moved

Were astonished and stood to there feet
Felipe was ran over but Felipe now can see
The beginning may have seem like an end
The end to his story has just began!

Wad of Thread

Her heart was like the eye of a needle and I the thread.
Stuck between two fingers, each time I'd get close.
I'd veer too far left or too far right, never in-between.
Nervous in motion A thin thread roped in ambition.
Though I loved her deeply I couldn't get her to see.
No matter how hard I'd try I always missed the loop to her heart.
The cold steel that looped in oval shape.
I've made peace with the thought that nothing lasts forever and though thread.
I've binded myself in knots, wondering if she ever saw me the way that I saw her, everlasting.
Believing that we could be woven in the thickest of bonds.
I loved her with the entirety of my everything I had to give.
Without arms I had nothing to hold above her head.
But no matter how many times I missed her.
Her shoulder became colder and colder.
My thread torn seam from seam.
It wasn't until then that I learned that somethings are better left untouched.


Premium Member The Range Was His Home

You couldn't rattle Tex
  Ice water in his veins
No one ever saw him wince
  let alone complain

Kept to himself, he did
  Felt life was meant to be hard
Carried his lasso and holsters proud
  Tackled fool rustlers, no holds barred

The range was his home, an honest calling
  One where he gave his cattle free rein
'Til sundown was nigh, when he'd change his tune
  Call in his options, by the light of the moon

Came a day when his ten-gallon hat
  No longer was seen on the range, working at
The craft that he loved, more than life itself
  Tex had roped his last steer, put his reins on the shelf

Our Sister Who Had No Breast

Over fury,over fright did she dwell.
Under strife,under shame: who can she tell?
Road thorned with scorn and mockery.

She was birthed as others were,
In honour,was she celebrated.
Stars of beuty twinkling in her eyes,
Tiled with radiance was her smile.
Ears set consciously like the brick,
Round waist, punched back,rolling like a steel.

Wealth was to her no problem,
Health,yet,was no problem.
Odds of nature in her found no delight,

Hacking her beautous qualities was this plight.
Animals have with what to feed their offsprings,
Diana had none,not even little and hollowed like a ring.

Night and day did she of this weep:
'Holy Lord,Let joy to me clip'.

Busty suitors had approached her frequently,
Roped in by the intensity of her beauty.
Elation had had her when they came:
'Ah! you have no breast?',all would say the same.
She has been living without a maiden's value,
Tell us please,what can we do?.

Premium Member Analgesia

it was that dull ache that kept her going

a longing for freedom whatever that meant

confined to the straight-jacket of her mind

she tore at the shackles until her heart bled

clots obstructed safe burden-less passage 

stenosed angry valves of calcified reason

fear-full emotion angst existential pain


tarred and feathered she hung on to hurt

became a victim of self-imposed torture

powerless tied to the tight roped noose

eyes gaping in terror torture blindsight

mouth twisted in agony and void scream

her ears throbbed from constant drumbeat

released vile pus that would not scar over

formed venomous channels into her brain

while relentless torture became the norm


all she did was to speak out against injustice

demanded to live and narrate her own story

pure untarnished by complicit thought control

but they crushed her pen and broke her fingers

mocked all resolve and continued to pulp her

into surrender and waited for her to give up 


they fed her night mares and rationed the food

but insomniac and starving she became immune

to deprivation and depraved masters of evil

twisted wrists though fractured and disfigured

shaped her escape when handcuffs loosened

sharpened restraints into blades of defence


the ache did not vanish but altered her view

on humanity incarceration and empowerment

liberation comes at a price and increased value


she locks the door behind me and glimpses revenge

no pardon no thumb screws not even cut throats

for when oppressors have no one else to persecute

but themselves the ultimate punishment is served

Love Is Not Known

Love is not known and 
can never be known, for 
love cannot be weighed
like bullion or flour, 
love cannot be roped: 
a wild mustang running
free, never tethered, 
never corralled, freer 
than the North Wind....

Love has its own mind: 
it comes when it comes, 
will not hear entreaties, 
will not beg its bread...
for love rules all worlds 
and love soaks all life.

Love is a gangster, 
obeying no laws, 
taking what it wants.
And love is a priest, 
making holy life's dirt, 
redeeming then the 
wreckage of hope by 
pouring its holy water, 
quenching all longing.

Love is a magician, 
appearing in two hearts 
at once, transforming 
the beast into a man, 
a girl into a woman: 
an alchemist always
changing lead into gold....

And love can never die. 
When the heart it holds 
beats its last beat, then 
love will soar with soul 
to the next world... 
for love is the only key
that can pry open 
heaven's heavy door.

Love is not known and 
can never be known, 
for love is God,
and God is Love: 
love without end....

Premium Member Hank's Last Roundup

Hank had cowboyed on the Triple T Ranch fer nigh on fifty years.
He'd rode the range herdin' beef peerin' betwixt his hoss's ears.
Durin' cattle stampedes he'd broke bones and many a time was throwed,
And he'd been astraddle his saddle so long that his legs was stiffly bowed!

He loved the cowpokin' life but he didn't become rich by any means.
He'd even come to savor Cooky's usual grub of bacon, taters and beans.
Durin' brandin' time he roped and branded many a steer's scruffy hide.
He was a master with the brandin' arn and he wielded it with skillful pride!

He liked lollin' 'round the campfire a-jawin' with pards beneath the stars,
Sippin' java that smelled like old socks, smokin' roll-yer-owns and ceegars.
He pulled many a nighttime guard duty in sleet, snow and peltin' rain,
Blowin' on his harmonica to calm skittish herds which was quite a strain!

He'll miss huddlin' 'round the bunkhouse stove as storms blew driftin' snow,
While he and his pals listened to Tex sawin' away with his fiddle and bow.
Hank hung up his scruffy boots, tattered chaps and sweat-stained hat.
He'd already given away his well-worn saddle and his 44 caliber gat.

This was Hank's last roundup herdin' cattle to Abilene up the dusty trail,
Cussin' and sweatin' to get 'em loaded up to ship on the Chicago rail.
He stopped by fer a few snorts with the boys at the Long Branch cabaret,
Then cantered off into the sunset on Old Dan his trusty hoss, callin' it a day!
