Premium Member A Bit Magical

A song trickles from the thicket...
bouncing off the cowlicked grass.
It tilts its beak toward my whistle...
re-branding the day 
"Bull thistle magic".


Words Define Who We Are

Words, the say, break no bones
But they do break hearts:
The wound caused by fire
Or a dagger would heal over time
But not the hurt caused by a lashing tongue

Brand

Most I've encountered have not cared at all about this mortal shell except as means of judgement and to gain comradarie with others by searing hot metal into my skin ,branding me & shaming my sin

Premium Member Do NOT Attempt This on YOUR Movie Set

     Into racially charged environs
        burst cattlemen with branding irons

     Followed, fortunately, by squadcars' screaming sirens  
        Whew... Sure glad those were 'dry runs'

Premium Member Eyeball Brand

Nagging pain invades my eye; the aura lasts for weeks. Stabbing, searing hot poker jabs into my brain; branding my eye. Migraine owns me now; there are no drugs to relieve my agony.

Premium Member Comet's Scrawl

Darkness falls lame
broken by the full moon
tattered by clarity.

Constellations burn
branding blue satin.
Comets scrawl blank verse

Planets pulse ripely.
The painter stirs the paint pots
a single tone sounds.

Ace Up My Sleeve

(This is a fictional poem)

One day I was cheating at poker and I got caught.
When I saw them get the branding iron, it sure looked hot.
They branded my balls before I could leave.
I seriously regretted hiding that ace up my sleeve.

Premium Member Love Never Truly Dies

Time moves on
distances separate 
memories water down 
we barely notice
as people come and go.

But then we often find

Sparks of familiarity 
igniting life's essence 
embers branding ownership 
on the edge of awareness 
love never truly dies.

Deep End

When I am pulled underneath
When shadows call forth
Where do I go?

I can’t catch my breath
As I feel the current
slip me further to the end.
Like the descending flicker of a candle wick
Darkness sinks in
Branding my soul
as blackness burns beneath.

Condoms

Unisex sex protection in
Using condoms rubber 
Latex covering the *****
During sexual intercourse
Preventing to catch a sexually
Transmitted disease branding
Names of use trojan,lifestyles,
Magnums,ect a water proof
Holding in ejaculated semen
Condoms.

My Path Unbroken

Refusing to be labeled,
  rejecting type and cast

With choices so enabled,
  my freedom first and last

All fantasy as token,
  its myths now cast aside

My path remains unbroken,
—false branding singed with lies

On Eating

There’s a grinding in everyone’s mouth. 
Something cacophonous and discordant
That resonates perfection.
It sounds like continents in your throat
Villages of little fluorescent bulbs,
Branding stories on your tongue
And crunching into you
Until you become the philosopher of the world.

Premium Member Sin and Redemption

Branding the wayward 
as a perpetrator of evil
let us pause a moment
to examine origin of sin

knowing not love and light
is the cause not ignorance
resulting in fall from grace

all that then is required
is to show the roadmap 

that such souls may awake

Longin

Incessant longings sail on my ocean of tears,

The thoughts of you lingering,

the loss of you sears the heart like the branding of an ox.



Reading back the memories, like reading  from the end

to the beginning of a pocketbook,

Pictures flitter beckoning the past, but alas,

You already have moved on.

Vicariously Voracious

He feigns the astute overture which solemnly reigns oppressing. His head clouded 
from mars to infinity, a perpetual black power convolutes through metaphysical 
peripheries. Infinite is the torture granted from this being. Interdimensional 
branding lays hollow in vein of mind control. Such is the vicariously voracious

Prickly Thorns and Briars

The preacher preached a fiery sermon. 
Words penetrating the soul like hot coals on fire.
Branding its burning mark of guilt across the hearts 
Who seek after sinful desires. 
That scratches the soul like prickly thorns and briars. 
While Pleasure and temptation tormentingly conspire. 
To lead you into the pit of fire.

I Never Saw Blue Like That

I could lose myself to us,
wiggle my toes in the grassy blades
of our colloquy,
sunbathe beneath the wild heat
of your latest exclamation,

pant at its flame

Your words lick my spine
like a possessive lover,
branding me with their claims

I burn too deep, Blue

It feels like Hell fastened itself
to the soles of my feet

Premium Member Flickering

Walking away fast,
I look away from your eyes; 
That’s all I can do;

Breath that keeps catching 
soul stained cheeks turning crimson, 
you don’t need to see; 

Leaving innocence; 
Pure, I take all of the scars 
branding them with smiles;

A fresh coat of paint 
you can swallow easily; 
Everything’s ok;

Lights in my eyes flickering,  
breathing in the atmosphere.

Premium Member Coward

Sure loves talking tough
Tough guy picking on the weak
      Always name-branding

         But he turns to his
     Loyal sycophantic sheep
       To build him back up...

  When he's knocked down flat
 This time, by just ONE woman
        Toothless Chihuahua

          Stand up to Putin!
   Get tougher on Kim Jong Un!
        Trash his "love letters"

Testament

A silver beam of moonlight sears
    your face within my memory,
branding you forever on my heart.
Its soft flare reveals a trace 
    of sadness there,  
as this fateful evening we must part.

My grieving soul will languish in the dark,
    flowers will cease to bloom,
their fragrance spent; only your 
swift return will flame the heavens
    and prompt the lark to burst 
forth into song, a joyous testament!

On Life By the River

To the shy hamlet vivid are the hardships of last year,
How the brazen river had surged in—ravishing, moulding,
Branding beyond repair. And yet, when the summer air hums
In the hush before rain, once again, on the crumbling fields
Rancid memories give way to emerald reveries.

Premium Member Welcome To Darkness

Front door opened, allowing light to pour out Nighttime sure has escaped the branding fingers Pumpkins lit beneath me signify the end Welcome to darkness Little witches, ghosts, lost vampires, and werewolves Guard the door, watch’s any offers of terror The first sign of weary passerby they pounce Bringing fear inside

    thy face within my memory,

My grieving soul doth languish in the dark,
    flowers have ceased to bloom,
their fragrance spent; only thy
