Premium Member Sleep's Deception And Reality's Shock
In the cup Of my hands, I caught Cool raindrops; Blowing breath Into warm palms, I watered fields of lilies And quenched thirsting doves:- An awakening smile Quickly frowned At the sound Of loud, bursting bombs And wailing screams of children: The fantasy of peaceful dreams, The nightmare of warring reality:- ...

Premium Member The first time you kissed me, it was such a shock
The first time you kissed me, it was such a shock, I literally saw time stop on the old kitchen clock. But before you accuse me of over-the-top flattery, let me assure you, it turned out to be just a dead battery. And once replaced, time started again with the same old tick-tock....

As soon as one is somewhat comfortable Love shows her ugly...

Wake me up from this shock
You lead the park but scare no sheep, An ewe went astray while you sleep, Why weren't you on call round the clock? To care for and protect the flock. Your meow is just too soft a bleep, No shepherd rules you could just keep. How will you keep away the fox? When your greed desires too the cocks. The sadness you caused...

Premium Member Maybe We Can Use Electrolysis Instead of Immolation
to free this specter from its host caught in a body like bear trap a house made of arms that can't let go my hearth’s flame is selfish, unwilling to part with smoke without separation i will choke at the memory of a pleasant smog sewn into the wrists of silver tinged fingers there is rust in my bloodstream the wear and tear of...

It may come as a shock to most
It may come as a shock to most, But texting is not communication in real time, And seldom saves time, Often not getting to the sender on time, So, frequently is not read on time, Sometimes not at any time, As cell phones get misplaced at the wrong time, Or are not on hand at the right time, With running out...

Premium Member Shock-Tober
It came in with ice cream and half empty sunscreen And went out with goosebumps and “EEK!” Halloween That autumnal breeze and the fire in the trees Gave way to demons and trembly knees Leaves all relinquished their sure Summer grip Fluttering down they would duck, dive and dip To settle in russet hues there on the ground But eddy and flit...
