Magnum Opus
Cantankerous cancers found my blood letting from the slit, Is it avarice of me to desire the love begetting of Lazarus? Enjoying life cadaverous like forgetting the want to live, Is it glamorous for me to die while God desires I live? Forgo the solid ground, My feet dangled off the edge of a jagged cliff....

Premium Member Opus 217 by Paul Signac
Out of sleight, out of hand, out of the box, a spiral that always circled, hawk-like. I could lock eyes with the brain that created it. Investigative journalism... No. Shh, brain, offer me a distraction - make me momentarily numb. A...

two singular heartbeats emergent with fluttering exhalations a tiny speck of time and temperature rushing nowhere beside falcons pausing breakneck together i hear her wet whispers kissing caressing deep lidless eyes my heart knows the latitudes understands the lay of the land bestows a feast of electric night giving flowers of touchings receiving tongues of fire inside this temple of ancient desire emergent with breathless silences two...

Magnum Opus
In case you haven't noticed I'm a poet verbal usage explosive, Wrote it to show I'm potent while showing I'm still unfolding, With words I manage verbs the action within observed, Then swerves I'm pitching curves a gentleman well reserved, I'm classic because I practice my passion bring satisfaction, Imagine the acrobatics of circumstances enacted, On paper with just a pen...

Twisted tongue
Melancholy melody of mania and madness. Ceaseless Swan song a symphony of sadness. Counter to composure comes cacophony of chorus. Oscillating operatic overture of Opus. ...

Magnum Opus
My girlfriend is not a poet in the way that most people mean. She is a collector of rare and valuable information. Today, she told me about cats & the color of their coats. We adopted a kitten recently, a baby thing with elastic legs and a penchant for biting paper. She is the color of placing...

Premium Member Nocturne Opus 9 Number 1
This hasn't quite worked, so I'll have to revisit it. I listened to Chopin Opus 9 number 1 for inspiration and got lots of sprawling thoughts. I tried to put them into a Rondeau Redoublé format and possibly ruined it. I think it needs free verse but I felt lost between rhyme and what hasn't...

Opus
I destroyed a lot of me (I think you must have destroyed it too), not being exactly who I'm supposed to be simulating strength and walking barefoot over coals for so long. Guess the stores never sold what i really needed. I keep thinking about these confusing years and when I touched the essence of truth, pretending so, that you were exactly what I expected, or...

Magnum Opus
Pieces of glass shattered on the wooden floor I maim my pointed finger; it bleeds and runs into my broken door. Grief is timeless as it seems, How evergreen to sculpture happiness in my dreams? I’m beautifully made but devastatingly asking, “What keeps you awake and keep on going?” Life is an art that is crafted under a...
