Isolated with apprehensions
Life is merely a complexion of a dream
You'll never be truly awake.

      punctuate the snowy trail…

          frosty whiffs of breath

Mind

Where are you now?
Are you in and among the crowd?
In a world in which I cannot follow?
Extradite to imaginary borders,
Where my thoughts finally unfurl.

What explains Trumpenstein’s command
That the U.S. borders expand?
His withered small shaft
Needs a bigger graft  
Of mastodon parts from Greenland

Stubborn and proud
On alert, never cowed
Justly known for their cute little derrières

An act-as-they-wish guarantee
Leads brutes to think they’ll tread on me
But I too have rights
And might eschew fights
If backed by a fair referee

Other Worlds

What borders reality on all sides,
Are dimensions of other senses, 
Transcending these boundaries alters known reality,
To scare us back or draw us further.

Premium Member We Spit On Poe's Raven

We spit on Poe's raven
The crows and me
True blackbirds, living our truth
Eating corn ahead of the masses
Leaving nothing at borders
Glorying in our evilness

The Rebel's Dream

Building castles out of stardust--


and sprawling cities lit by starlight.


The arranger stands on
geometric borders-


unobtrusive to the rebel's dream.

Empty

Living in the nook
  Is never a curse.
Borders built of cash
  Never works for me;
As the empty pot 
  From the nook, I found
Not the nook
  Being empty is a curse.

A Female Butcher

A female butcher who knew few borders
By accident caused several disorders
When not looking behind her
She backed into her grinder
And got a little behind in her orders!

Death, Under the Radar

Drones,
Silent with
The gaze of a Peregrine
Falcon, that
Descends
Surely, swiftly,
Bringing death.
No trial by law,
Just obliteration.
And like the Peregrine,
It knows no borders.

Fire

fire,


Big and small fires flame
Burnt ‘scents’ fill outward borders
With cinder filled breezes
They who ‘touch’ a fire gets burned
Be very careful to confine!

Premium Member Paradox vastness

Paradoxes

Are stories with

Apparent

Responses of

Rejection..or of  

An immediate

Resonance

Burning borders

And a vastness

Which cannot be 

Explained...

Premium Member Voices in the dark

Midnight silence is somewhat ambiguous
its naked truth intrinsically alive and universal
borders on emptiness and plenitude

Some Borders Maybe But Not Fences

There must be a man with some senses! Who has no need for any kind of pretences! Who preaches peace, Wants all wars to cease. Some borders maybe, but not any fences!
