made me want to 
taste everything
even if that meant
getting killed

he was the gasoline to my careless cigarette

Forever Broken

The hate
Keeps me going
The love
There's no such thing
The pain
Gives me comfort
The heart
Is cold and careless
The soul 
is Forever broken.

Was so careless for short while.
Then so suddenly
Something broke her lovely smile;
Withered through a fate so vile.

Detached from the heart
Blinded by fear, led by greed
Shallow minds lay waste
Tainting words with foul actions
Careless of those who mean them

The Pacemakers

Crazy senses
           Careless senses
 In a minute joy
                    Of being two
The rhythm of one body
Us…
           The pacemakers

Autumn Air

Summer sings silent songs
Autumn air arrives Aloud! 
Careless, clumsy, cool, crisp
Lingers like a lullaby




Danielle DuVerney
Up in the Autumn Air

Wordless

Ignore me, destroy me

Or whatever is left

In my mind that I hope you find

Lost remains of forgotten happiness

Blissful opportunity, careless remiss

The Tunnel

wayra

trapped in a tunnel
channel for careless choices
bright lights, brilliant colors fade 
with fear of vows broken.
The way out: turn around to truth.

Premium Member Lost Kodak Moment

.

           a snap of a twig

           made by my careless footstep

           white tailed doe takes flight

It’s your beautiful ending.
It’s your careless sigh.
It’s the way that you ended,
Without a real goodbye.

haphazard plans
careless and carefree
leaning where the wind heads
enjoying the journey
meandering wanderer
loving her life
living her dreams
following her heart

Cellblock Follies

The homophobic banker he was penned
That careless fool was found to misspend
He thought prison would be cake
Until he met fat old Jake
Now he has got a hairy boyfriend!

Angry Words

Anger is an explosive expression
Belligerence is not an excuse
Careless thoughts of idiom 
Does not reason words of abuse

Why use it as a crutch?

I did not know my heart
was made of glass
until it was dropped
from your careless hand,
shattering 
into a hundred sharp pieces,
cutting anyone who tries
to pick it up.

Trump Is Careless

Trump Is Careless

Trump is careless when he does try,
And could care less about you and I;
Lies he will say;
Wants own way;
Wish as President would say bye-bye.

A Four-Line Apology In Iambic Pentameter

We’re sorry we erased your tally board.
This careless, wee mistake shan’t be ignored
by me, the thoughtless teacher who effaced
this box of precious points, gone in swift haste.
