Too Close
too close to mom
the barbed wire fence
to the wood
so mad I threaten lawsuits
my anger follows the sun down...

It shocks me

the 
barbed wire fences
at your door
then
we ask
for peace

Confederate types some admire
Punctured DEI's entire hire
The world is a throng
And civil war's wrong
But that car just hit their barbed wire...

Premium Member It Was One of Those Mornings
dawn’s barbed talons
slowly splay a sleepless night…
            crimson scars

     daybreak’s ruby blouse
softly drapes a diamond skirt…
             morning dew...

Pretty Hair
Her eyes drip down scorn
Like pus from running sores
Every word edged and barbed
To rip and rend and tear
She lives to laugh at suffering
But oh she has such pretty hair...

Soul-sucking grind
Sitting on the fence I get entangled
in the barbed wire,
I lie on the heap of ashes
of my cherished dreams  
wondering when a stray spark might 
rekindle the flames of my dormant desires.

Waiting in Fear
the sun, having been fixed
on the barbed wires of my ranch,
is in a state of fear and shock,
cause it has blocked the night's path;
that's why it will have to be exposed
to the night's wrath

feel the hedge the dunnock had slept
its lines a scribble toddlers had drawn
he nested in a pen test on scrap paper
edging fields in barbed wire branches
sleep static acrobats on frozen trapeze...

Cutting
Dark emotions like barbed wire wrapped around my heart 
I grab my blade 
I watch as blood flows and my skin comes apart 
With the blood goes the pain
A temporary release to keep just barely sane...

Addiction
and so it begins....
my withdrawal from an addiction
that causes so much pain
frustration and confusion
as I bounce off
of these barbed-wire walls
I know I am strong enough
to finally break free...
