The Brass Ring

Posterity be damned,
today is your reward

The future but an empty wish
—a sheath without a sword

Athlete kabob meat to skewer
Olympic games meet the sewer
Those ratings too flat
Create new dangers that
Pander to the TV viewer

Premium Member Vengeance Is Sweet

Vengeance worms in its way
after art of submission falls prey
Bass slap riff and chords ring funky, 
beats that warm the brass monkey

Heart of Brass

She's raping me
She's all I'm sad
She taking me to
anger mad

That all my love
is things she has
For buns of steel
and heart of brass

The Brass Unicorn

Gazing across her stately field of daisies, this domain..
Gathering love's bouquet arranging they a repose's vase
In heart's boudoir a shooting star; sitting, atop Scarab's sill.


Brass Ring

for just one moment
you held the brass ring
for a second in time
you had everything
brass wasn't good enough
you went for the gold
now your heart's empty
with no one to hold

The Button At the Bottom of the Jar

Much like the “cracker jack prize”
At the bottom of the box
As candy lore goes.
That unique badge of honor
For those who would dive deep
To grasp the brass button.
Beware this lure full of 
Deceit.
Along the way you may yourself
Delete.

Herb Alpert Part 2: Tijuana Brass

mmm was she
was she Italian
or Hispanic nor

either no brainer
no breather
gasping

album cover art
a photograph
for the tunes

on the cover
but me under
cover for the sales

of Whipped
Cream &
Other

Delights
or more towards
my tongue's fantasy

Premium Member The Big Brass

Now rejoice the sounding brass

Let trombones and trumpets sing

Choirs of Angels weep with joy 

As the bells of Heaven ring

We mere mortals here on Earth 

We live and love and fight and die

Concerned with petty differences

While orchestras play in the sky
sky

Premium Member Brass Flower Vase

Brass flower vase
Auctioned by millions
Stood in a nightstand

Rust lines on bottom
Reflect the memories
Encapsulated by time

Gold engraved initials
Symbol of blessed times
Dimmed by regrets 

Polished with dedication
Brought back lost shine
Dulled by indifference

The Brass Flute

He played with the brass flute
The sound knocked him out of his boot
Symbols kicked him in his ass
Then called him third class
He thought the brass flute was a brute

Once again he tried to play the flute
His sounds were always toot, toot
Symbols gathered once again
Cauz, he wasn’t genuine
This time he was giving the boot

Premium Member Brass Eyes-- Oju Ide

Oju Ide-- Brass eyes

Flashing across the scene

Witnessing the many sins

Unveiling men

As hollow beings

vile vibrating vehemently

Sounding like brass bells 

settling in a place of inert

nesting like fallen logs

in a deadened hearth    

repelling the usual

charming the unusual

while grappling with the curse   

of a woven heart

Brass Buttons

Brass buttons on his green coat.
Pride of America but mostly his folks.
Proud to serve his country in war.
His coat is missing buttons it is torn.
He`s reported missing and presumed dead.
A nightmare all parents dread.
He died for the country  he loved.
He`s in Heaven above.
His brass buttons shining in the sun.
God smiles and says "welcome home my son."

Premium Member Gods Plan For Sass and Brass

Their litter mates left one at a time
Except for Sass and Brass
They were worried; were they adoptable?
Would anyone want them?
Don’t worry their mother said. God has a plan.

They were taken together
To a home with an older couple.
They got cuddling and love.
Best of all they cuddled with each other.
Just like when they were first born.
God’s plan was great for them.

Brass That Masquerades

Brass that masquerades as gold,
Fit for any photo-fit, a counterfeit concealed.
I know, I know you,
Hiding naive amber under the Sun,
When you need not be devalued.

Glass that tries a diamond life
Won't shine the same despite its cut.
Not fit for their crowns-
The product of sand and not finer science-
But you don't need to be.

Gold is silent; brass can sing,
Your panes aren't made from diamond rings.
To change the way you were when born
Defames the way I love your form.
