My jaunt through over crowded hallways
       past bodies grouped like gulls gathering
       a grey murmuring

       patients on overdose
       their creased faces like glaciers streaked 
                                                     by warming
        pink white rings that circle their eyes
                                                      rabbit pinched
                                                      unfocused
        glances not easily discarded

Henry, slumped in his wheelchair
       his body uncoupled like a skylark
                                                     cut from song
        thin shoulders falling to trembling limbs
He greets me, barely audible
       words that leave soft traces
       that sometimes choke on their own silence

What oozes forth,
       fragmented stories of acting on the stage
       till footlights dimmed
Time vandalized history
Roots in a cushioned land

Beseeching, he asks "Roll my wheelchair to the
       train tracks. Leave me there."
 Panic closes in like shutters
       to darken the wood of smiling
I wedge words, can brook no paths criminal
A quick embrace to soothe unmoored grief
       to appease the unprotected

My blunt exit (slowed momentum) 
       on floor stickiness,
       waste-brine that coats my soles
       anchoring displacement

The Demise of Pangaea -Part 2-

You don’t know how parted we are
Uncharted we are
The piano keys sooth the turbulent sea and music melts the burning icebergs
Pride sinking a ship…giving into nature
Hands severed and torn, pressing lightly on the stained ivory
The creatures are mourning for the death of loved ones
While men in white laugh, masked by the ghosts of their own insanity  
Stained with foreign blood
People speak out against it while many others follow me to the grave
Like the single stone in the chalk piece scrapes against the black board
We feel the pain with our empathetic minds without having to hear the chalky cries 
Subconscious we are transformed…informed
Knowing that once parted, no earthquake can make us whole again
We couldn’t visit her today…he was forced to go
The mercy found in these crevices is buried in the snow
I hate it when I can’t find words to describe the way I feel
I would like to tell him how I feel…but the air
Is too thick here… 
And the sea parts us…blue eyes are merely brown…
The grass is greener there
We’re all the same…we fear…we cry
The web still weaves us together but dew tears stick to the strands
And flies that we feed on destroy the unity of the intricate network
Reassuring words mend temporarily…but you leave again
Hairs grow gray and the black stickiness is fresh once more 
Light pours in canyons of crayons…the flower is a scam
The smell of childhood lighting up our lives with the little fuel we have
Jealously thrives through…and they won’t stop touching them
Some look into the mirror and cry everyday…
Bruises turn to gold and they sell artifacts already sold
The buzzing vibration of my phone is ignored tonight…
I’m on my last bar…
I’m dying…I really am
Dying to know WHY. Dying to give life 
Parting the lands to flood obscurity…
Pangaea, what can make you whole again?

Dark Shadows

His eyes held a dead brilliance 
Showing an empathy and compassion
Did his soul embrace any resilience 
How she brought infinite passion 

Standing over her he felt a vulnerability 
Fascination he had in her left him confused
As an inhuman beast he had capability 
To leave her alone he would refuse 

Her pulsating blood drew his attention 
Thoughts of its warm stickiness so red 
Gave him an undeniable appreciation 
Standing in the shadows as the undead 

Disciplined willpower not to have a taste
Though entombed by its very smell 
Consequences of these actions, a waste 
For she was his never ending hell

Though hell he knew well as a vampire 
He could enter her mind, and hypnotize
See he wanted her for his own empire 
Wanted her love but that she has to realize

Actions he’d rather not deal with consequences 
Now he cursed his profound moral compass
He only hoped she’d come to her senses 
Decision and out come she must encompass

Premium Member Gone and (Almost) Forgotten ......

Lamentation for what you are losing. 
A situation not of your choosing. 
Powerless in its execution. 
Watching from the shadows as 
the scene unfolds before you. 

A bag of broken promises 
standing in the corner - waiting 
for recycling or incineration - 
no-one knows, but gone for ever 
in the familiar form you knew. 

Your heart lies broken in the dustpan. 
A few fragments scattered on the floor. 
She tries to sweep them up, but carelessly 
drops the container in transit and curses 
as it leaves a dust trail to the door. 

How cold she looks.  Her face fixed in 
resolution.  Determined to get the rooms 
of her life scrubbed clean and free from 
memories of you.  Reminders of you two 
as you were, happy once, laughing, loving. 

Out to the trash wagon goes your world. 
With no knowledge of the significance, 
it is tipped in ignorance into the swirling, 
churning lumber of the neighbourhood, 
and ground to meaningless pulp. 

She stops on the way to retrieve a minute 
piece of hope deposited on her shoe - 
stuck like gum and adhering to the pavement 
as she walks.  A good tug and it is gone, but 
she tuts as it leaves stickiness on her fingers. 

Back in the sanitized emptiness 
she pauses to view her clean slate. 
Still icy in her survey, she doesn't notice broken you, 
forgotten in the cupboard - heart ripped out, 
memory mutilated, living only in the shadows. 

The door creaks and she is alerted, 
she quickly runs to close it - crisis averted. 
Must get a lock for that door 
and throw away the key - 
the heart can't grieve if the eye can't see.

Premium Member Always My Angel

Always My Angel

Sort of like the way you never said goodbye
Walking across the burning bridges
I'm a voice without a word
Falling across false realities
Nobody told me how difficult life would be
And there is always another obstacle
It doesn't help that I play with fire
Running my lips across your skin
While you smoke pot
Dying in a grave of your own creation
Guys walk your bridges
Taking advantage of open tunnels
I was never the only one here
Sometimes it's better to let it hurt
Because it could always be so much worse
Summer would never come for you
When it never came for me
Your eyes attract the flies
Stickiness makes your hair clump together
I stroke your cheek so tenderly
The blood isn't mine
But it isn't yours either
It's the blood of innocence
And that's what I gave to you all my life
Melting in waterfalls of fire
You've been taken by the demons
But you were always my angel


Pillow Talk

hanging out amongst those who are like minded
new to the group naive to the lies and deceptions
groomed with gifts fun spotlight low expectations
time goes by everything great money had you blinded
you had the lovers fame reputation all felt so right
competitiveness between group members alike
tension becomes intolerable to the point of dislike
truth be told about how to settle with a fist fight 
threats were always spewed but no action taken
group members siding causing small divisions
most tired of the tension making hasty collisions
all about money fashion lovers has caused a shaken   
this one particular night you decided not to indulge
feeling not up to par your soul making you elusive
hung out as usual thinking how things can be decisive
something felt off your intuition gave you a nudge
not feeling the vibe decided to step out side for air
unbeknownst to you the tension was thickening
come back in moments later you were witnessing
an argument turned deadly body sit dead in a chair
blood that carries secrets slowly coagulate
thick dark stickiness that drew in flies
smells whilst being puddling burying lies
sitting in panic with beads of sweat from distress
wondering what to do where to go who is who
paranoid with being inexperienced about crime
this was not part of a plan to hang out this time  
nobody to trust running scared sleepless night too
would they let you just walk away knowing what you seen
following you haunting you in dreams to scare you quiet
this secret causing the heart and mind to have an inner riot
telling was out of the question not even mentioning the scene
seeing members from time to times looking with evil eyes
made you reevaluate the meaning of like minded people
following popularity status spotlight really reels in sheeple
darker than you will ever admit magic deceit and lies
realizing having your own individuality avoids like mindedness
you don't have to say you endure and was scare most of the time
this experience help heal suppress parts traded for being a slime
learning things about yourself now has you with sharp sightedness

Premium Member What is this Love, Actually

What is this love we seek to find and hold?
It twists and contorts, resistant to enfold.
A surprising elusive shadow, that pops up from the mist?
When we least expect it, to enlist when kissed.

This love actually, defies logic and common sense!
For whom we love, truly deeply is beyond any pretense, 
Any hope that its stickiness can be shed,
With a flick, a kick, a denial, once, twice said.

Love is persistent, won't go away, or fade.
Its inception is the exception that once made,
Is burned or carved into a tree trunk or rock,
As an emblem, a shout, broadcast around the clock.

For love is a joy, a delightful happenstance!
A meeting by chance, then with poise, to prance and dance.

STEEL AND SILK

My love like steel and silk
      cuts through you 
            splutters your blood
                watermelon juice down a throat

Wipes it with yellow silken ribbon
             for you to suck afresh
                  that you may find your
                                 Godly seed within

My love like dragonflies and bees
       silently landing on stamen or pistils 
                alchemising nectar into patterned 
                                dust upon transparent wings

Earth rewards my love with morning glory 
       steel severs sunflower stems 
                  silkworms crawl into a wet rose centre
                              pollen stolen in sparkling dew

My steely silken love refreshed 
                     from your flowered stickiness

Dawning Desires - Repost

~

Whispering apricot beams shine upon frilly sheers,
lazy shadows dance in daffodil dawn colors,
pirouettes of pleasured moments,
silently flowing on smooth brush stroke walls

You breathe, softly, the sweetest sonnet,
rhythmically exhaling beneath satin sheets
symphonic…bringing a grin to the sunrise,
blushing clouds hide behind a bashful horizon

Placing a gentle kiss upon rose petal shoulders,
you stir ever so slightly…eyes flutter like chiffon wings
hugging the pillow wistfully, floating within,
cascading between dreams of us

Exploring the mesmerizing curves of your body,
my lips touch warm porcelain skin,
the faintest sigh escapes, a smile appears
as your wispy fingers seek my own

Probing gentle folds, serene recesses of silken slivers
sipping the morn’s perfect elixir, ambrosia,
seeing your eyes wide open now
and falling once more deeply into their hypnotic beauty

Hands fondle my hair, wavy lengths, grasping
tickling heated embraces, melting into the warmth,
maple syrup cravings, sweetened stickiness in
pleasure flavored temptations

Sunshine illumines the room with sparkled effervescence,
writhing deep into the blue sky destinations,
azure visions of springtime promises kept
and green grass wanderings

I rise with you, fall with you…with this perfect time,
mirroring movements in reflective crescendos, rapidly,
as your voice sings my name, feathered pillow melodies,
an ending ovation in hummingbird inspired quivers

And you collapse, tethered breaths, tiny giggles
pulling the sheets tight to your chin playfully
I peer up, cinnamon eyes gleam, twinkle,
rejoicing as brand new day begins…in love

It is an unusually cold morning here so 
I thought I would repost this and warm
the place up a little. : )
