Premium Member Severed ties of the Sun
I divorced the cirrus heat that once laced the sky with fire, carrying searing sins of the scorching sun ~ burning the soft bronze of my melanin; an unabated rage, a labyrinth of blooming lilac, an assortment of angst, a library of healing lullabies homed beneath the glass-skin silence of my quivering chest~ like wind through cathedral clusters, a poison to my psyche, too bright for the...

The suffered soldier and our severed soul
I am awoken by the summer night crickets and lighting that strikes the roof rod. The wind and the abnormally hot air that begets the ominous dark cloud filled with ice rocks and Gods tears. My dying light marked by the lost touch of a handsome beacon to the dullness of my heart. A killing angel...

Premium Member My Ties To Reality Have Been Severed
Sitting here thinking and searching my mind For new ways to say I love you The most daunting task you can ever imagine But I really don't think we need to A simple “I love you” has always been uttered In the heat of a passionate embrace No matter, if you're saying, “The world is ending” Or “I've travelled from outer space” No...

Premium Member Severed Caution - Medley In a Plain Brown Wrapper
I wasn’t looking for love. She just whispered in my ear. Couldn’t trust a word she said, But it sounded so sincere. Boldness when called for is purpose enough. Kindness when asked for should not be refused. But let us consider the question of motives; What use to be married if not to be used? I wasn’t pining for love. I had problems of...

Premium Member Van Gogh's Severed Ear
Van Gogh's Severed Ear I leaf through memories as if pages in my mind, And I can’t find the one I’m searching for. Like a distraught painter much maligned, I can’t find the reason to live for anymore. Inside my head, I scream for others to hear When I look at the past in the present, Because my heart didn’t bleed when...

Christmas is over one by one the severed forest is dragged to the curb a plastic Christ is covered in frost of the soon forgotten another reason for winter birds not to chirp. Over the weekend the city has culled the herd middle east oil is starting to boil again another season-another war... one heart strums a golden harp the other pours heavy...

Adrift In Severed Agony
That disheartening obsession is detached from reality Another retinal wink message blinks SOS pillow bleak Drifting off to sleep, void dreams of awakened passion falls into an impotent abyss The empty anesthesia bottle, caressed by a pained heaving chest, has swallowed all of yesterday’s sorrow But, tomorrow’s groping mope is gonna need another icy liquid borrow As more orbital messages get sent in all sizes and shape bottles Laying...

Umbilicus Severed
Each of us is an infant seized In the moment of labor spent. We each are Samson, stained, restrained, Chained between the pillars that confine us. The womb of the mother god, Wisdom, She holding us back from our awakening, But we press outward, downward, But we force, our desire to emerge,, To be free of our old abode, The hold of another's will, The...

Suicide Prevention: Pruned Not Severed
Half winged images hopeless of flight believing insufficient to bestow delight Fluttering in shadows reluctance to fly disgraced and shameful reticent to try Hesitant to soar averse to fail distraught and untrusting of what may avail Pruned not severed capable of aviation when joined together and merely lifted from isolation 11/9/17...

Severed Tree
the poor old tree, so long,to tell a story, a story of scars, a story of axe-wielding men, a story of clown monkeys and squirrels, suffer so,like an old,old tree, rooted on earth,clinging to life, so stagnant,in tears,perspiration, bear fruit at old age, do trees have families?, do they visit each other?, do they miss their loved ones?, do they walk at night?, it's their secret, they won't share...
