To bid an auction of two colors 
Green and blue to sell 
Sea gained blue 
Land signed for green...

Autumn Orgy at Trump Resorts
Promises virile indoor sports
But what will they find
On Donald Trump's mind
After they auction off his shorts?...

old trunk in attic
baby shoes, a wedding dress
wrapped in tissue and in tears
time gone forever
no-one remembers it now
memories sold at auction

I put my 
Face
For selling
For public
Auction’
On EBAY
I added a digital
Picture
For honesty,
And
A starting price
$0.99
I checked
Seven days
Later
No one!
No one made 
A bet....

It's not up for auction like many other hearts are
It's there for the holding when soothing your scar


It beats only for one and that one is you
My heart I give freely and a love that is true

Arise off your Knee's
Please, Stop trying to Please 
Youv'e not hurt anyone
I cannot think of a bad thing you have Done
Your one in a Million
At auction would fetch a cool Billion
With the Heart of a Trillion...

The Unspoken
By: Tom
November 15, 2020

Sometimes those lofty thoughts and profound ideas
that we’ve deemed worthy of an estate sale,
often wound up in an auction house
because the road from heart
to tongue had a
bridge out.

a sink of pots and pans
are a jazz quartet,

for those forced to make
there way alone in life

they never walk in beauty for
the miles are always longer when
the path is steep.

knee pads come with the uniform
for possums breaking
their disguise....

In the auction of love my heart is the star lot
The gavel will go down as Cupid’s arrow hit the spot  

I fall on bended knee and offer you a diamond ring
Please accept it my beautiful Queen, and I’ll be your King

A little bit of passion in a bowl
A little bit of sharing in a plate
A little bit of mission in a cup
A little bit of fiction in a gourd
A little bit of motion with our hands 
No pollution, no tuition, no auction, no violation. 
                    Lets Double Dip
Caution! !!!! Someone has germs from last week!!!!...

Once in a garden I saw,
Just by an old workshed door
Bulbs in a pot, 
that looked really hot
On a spring bought at auction for sure

The promise of  growth in repose
Perhaps daffodils soon would make shows?
Though winter's been dreary
Soon new growth would  cheer me
From tractor spring; sprung support all a r'ose.'...

Alone will all stand, void of lawyers or mentors
no person will escape from the best orators
chance has no chance, gone is the period of options
human deeds are displayed for reckoning to auction
heaven and hell seated and ready to suction
a judge is on the throne not an arbitrator
who condemns to everlasting pain on any traitor.

a steady pidgeon
for him will provide much food
with white is tattooed

tried to save my skin
to find would go on a spin
found world full of sin

paper does pertain
readers who remain in rain
have become insane

went to news auction
came up with concoction
had used much caution

know an editor
performs as news predator
well known creditor...

An elixir in my treasure box
The thought to increase my 
obsession
My most valuable treasure it 
would be
Spend my whole time
Adoring my jewel of chime
Anxious as a bird
Trying pecking the bottled corn
Immortality it holds
Yet t'will not erase sorrow
Priceless it may be
Never for me to auction
Will watch the pill of life
Till life is out of me...

Feel the privatization in its might
A bullet in the African soul-
The sectors sold
The branches squared.

Our pride dwindles
When our Africa is slowly auctioned
To forces of stealth
Ruiners of our democracy.

Our masters slowly gather the spilled milk
Stride by stride
Grinning at the auction table
Their eyes glued on the politician’s billboard:
AFRICA FOR SALE....

Satellite kid
Reveal your opening bid

What price your life story?

In the morning will be settled at auction

So the more you reveal
Only strengthen our deal
With the devil made

Who for just a fist full of dollars
Purchased the face
With it the public's grace

Satellite kid
Whatever I did
Was merely the frivolity of youth 

Who thought he could handle the truth...

Post mark officials bleed into me
Redundant spell of auction burning
The microillusion out the back of skull
Near emerald waters with midnight pearl

Shining their mystery in the morning
Bereft of goals, spinning seagulls
Rewind ripples out of origin

To be among men and books
Lightning strikes frozen lips
Thawing histories of the past
As curtains draw on a closing era...

The little girl
set free the red balloon
it flew over a certain death
free from the pain
