Lover's Lustrous Face

Satin sheen with flawless seams
Tawny curves, each silken fold careens
Ambient light emitting pallid streams
Radiant magnetic field distilling dreams

Premium Member Humor Is Frightful, But So Delightful

Charlie's cartoon characters were afraid
`Cause Caren wants humor in her crusade
Only one person submits
Caren careens and retrofits
Curiously all have it made in the shade

Are You

Diatonic tree's,

slimy grease,

clanky careens-
and dodgy reefs,

slogs of sleeves
of Bogs of things,

one character breathe's,

another is obscene,

have you not heard of a ...

Dejavu

dejavu disguised as dreams
infiltrate
reality careens
impaled on mountains
built on fear
screaming in terror
streaked in tears
papery shrouds
ripped away
shaking arms
embrace a new day  (C) MJR 2010

Premium Member The Times They Aren'T A-Changin'

Soldiers dying,
      Wives crying;
      Politicians lying,
      Wise men 'why-ing.'

      The media's ablaze,
      Sexual harassment crazed;
      In the rest of the world
      Terrorism's unfurled  

      The world careens forward,
      Never turning back;
      Technology's king--
      It's civility we lack!

Today Again

It does not improve
the void where hope once lived
now genocide has set her tent
among the childrens’ toys
toy trucks and broken dolls
blood smeared

the silence smocked
in mothers’ tears
a father’s curse breaks with the sun
an ambulance careens
through dust and concrete humps
this life with death as his bride.

Premium Member Propelled Expressions

Within her screams of joyous wild fire passion Leaps a dynamic feeling of awesomeness Love splinters through every pore of elation Sparks of wonderment points to her loveliness She expresses her harmonic propelled heart She careens by all my insides to impart Explosions come by her, every piece of her Power in amazement is how I confer Russell Sivey

Premium Member Blurred Frenzy

the minutes
the hours
the days
in wild frenzy
whistle by

before long
weeks turn
to months
to years

on the racetrack
life in a blur
careens at
headpopping speed
i can barely hang on

yet
every once
in a while
it pauses
for a rare
precious moment

i take a deep breath
and thank god
you’re still here
by my side

Wheels Up

Listen to poem:
Why does the trolley dolly or cart I choose to use in every supermart always have a wonky wobbly wheel and feel oh so wearing as if it's about to lose its marbles or ball bearings? It clunks like junk with a 'thunking' sound and almost dumps my groceries on the ground won't go straight invariably tilts veers careens or curves and without a doubt indubitably gets on my nerves

Virgin

Sweet virgin, with the tenderest eyes,
We will burn together at the stake.
For all the dreams we tried to douse,
That have kept us both awake.

For I fell into your temptress arms,
Like a child falls into a well.
Like angels fall from the sky,
Like the innocent fall into hell.
 
Sweet virgin, with the tenderest lips,
And a smile that careens my soul.
We stand together before the crowd,
In a flame that swallows us whole.

Premium Member Monkeying Around

Her bulbous profile and pungent odor
That sunken chin and busy motor
A tremulous scowl crosses her flaring lips
From her cup rum she gulps, while others sip

Her mouth opens wide in a hideous grin
Displays shocking tooth decay within
Some teeth rotten; others chipped
Best she keeps her lips tightly zipped

Abruptly she emits a belch and a fart
As she starts steering her grocery cart
Wildly it careens, as customers swoon
Wuddya expect from a drunken baboon

Ambush

A brook cascades daintily extant
~ flowing gayly heart’s incited joy
Meandering, nestles on Peace
~ quivering restraints strain ‘n squirm 
Breaking-bank, careens downwards
~ extols faith’s grim heart-bomb
Undulating, veering waves extrapolate 
~ Yonder’s zooming blue-adieu
Sojourns, so-longs, traversing under veils
~ weathering wry extremes
Heart’s incessant journey keels love’s mainland
~ new opaque's reach...
