The Cold War: Dictatorship

Your Tirane
Will not last! 

I will end 
Your chest's legacy.

I will Overthrow
Your kisses, 
And your  lips' irony.

Premium Member History In a Nutshell

The commies we fought--they were red
We searched for them under our bed
They lost the cold war
But we want to spend more
So we're fighting osamies instead
Form: Limerick

Sin

Was it worth it fecking Sinjin Hawke
When you could’ve been with Stringfellow?
But the lure of drugs in the Golden triangle
So much better and a guy with an edge

What A Wife

What a life without a wife
Is like a kitchen without a knife.

Wife is life 
But food is more lifer.

Cold War, action speaks 
Louder than words.

Happy life 
Happy wife.

Premium Member Prediction Contradiction

'Experts' assured us the Cold War was over
       that Russia’s a bit player now

    My hat’s off to them: We’ve got a Hot War brewing ~
       but Russia’s on offense, somehow
Form: Rhyme


Cursed Korea of the North

Once the green land of morning calm and high serenity
Soon waved the blood red flag, stained with the false words “We will soon be free”
Now a grey, barren mountain swallowed by Yaldabaoth’s sea

The Cold War: the Price of Peace

Peace! 

Means: 

I invade
Your skin, 
Your face, 
Your hair, 
Your organs, 
Your whispers, 
Your bottoms, 
Your heights, 
Mile per mile, 
Yard by yard, 
Inch by Inch, 

And
Piece by piece.

The Cold War: the Price of War

The Cold War: The Price Of War
Your were kissing me
Like fighting for your life.

Your hands
Are firing mine.

Sweat, laughs, whispers, and tears
Are the first to fall.

Our mouths and words
Are the many uncounted
Casualties.

Premium Member Cold War Walt Marie

Quid pro quo my darling, yes or no? 
Press play.

Caught within an erotic cold war,
control. 

It’s not acceptable to bend the knee,
break it.

My desire outweighs your defiance.  
Give in.

It’s our sinful hierarchy of hunger,
my dear.

When relationships
Drop below freezing point
Frost causes a cold-war
A solution to be found
In the warmth of mediation

Premium Member they were not human

We’d already beaten Japan
But the A-bomb was Truman’s plan
To tell Russian reds
We’ll cut you to shreds
And that’s how the Cold War began

We flashed two targets civilian
And killed point two of a million
Of sub-human trash
Just burned into ash
But we’re in no way reptilian

The Cold War: Art Movement

When I write, 
It is always 
Your face
That appears
from words' sweat, 
from the ink bitterness, 
At the paper's edge, or
At the end or the beginning of the line.

When I paint, 
And I do not know what I paint; 
But it is always 
Your name 
That appears 
At the center
Of the canvas.

The Cold War: the Public

Do not worry about the public! 
Our fired kisses, 
Our lips' street War and guerrilla
Do Not need the public
In order to settle down, 
Cool down, lay down, 
Or to run away from our
Love battle field.
We do not need the public, 
In order to sign our 
love's independence
And build our love's republic.

Cold War

I hear it was a war
a war that was cold
was it fought in winter?
in cold weather?

I hear it was a war
a war that was cold
was it fought hesitantly?
by those with cold hearts?

I hear it was a war
a war that was cold
was it fought quietly?
with frozen weapons?

This Cold war confuses
may be ghosts fought it

With My Phone


It has been a while we met Because I was lazy just stayin in my bed Constant wars between me and my passive thoughts Fighting hard to win the cold War Having so much to do But made my mind to stay cold Rather than doing the blanket fold I just stayed in my bed with my phone

Open Your Heart To Emotion

A-nger begets quarrel, 
N-o good ever, nothing right; 
G-rudge causes cold war, 
E-nding the flame of 
L-ight. 

Z-one of love though 
A-ffects the home of anger; 
P-ure heart beats in harmony, 
A-t dawn seventeenth October. 
T-ry to feel like lamb, 
E-ver gentle in action; 
R-elieve the hate to be meek, 
O-pen your heart to emotion.

The War

The roam the Earth,
Killing one by other.
They are demons,
They show no Love and Mercy.

And Faith herself could never save us.
For Hatered, Violence and Anger have become too strong.
The war that God is fighting,

The war that I ignore,
Is ended upon the final battle,
The final cold war,

It will soon be over.

And it will kill the world.

Premium Member The Fallout from Dyslexia and Nuclear War

For my entire life
I've always been on the brink
of annihilation.

A cold war child
a nuclear age child
petrified of being exposed
to the fallout, child

Under a wooden desk
covering porcelain neck
the unforgiving sirens.
Teachers yapping at us to keep our heads covered.


Seven years of age
stressed out by the alphabet
A thoroughly undiagnosed dyslexic

Premium Member Family Feud

Family feud
	Hurt feelings
		Misunderstood words
			Anger rampage

Rant and rave
	Pick up phone, listen to it ringing
			Hang up before they answer


Civil war? Cold war? Gulf war?
		Social media.


Review every single post,
	Carefully,
		Honestly,

And never post in haste
                 best to avoid all feuds
                        especially in a family.

One Two By Mule and Nick

The war against extreme Muslims 
what did we have when we was growing up 
the Cold War 
and the probs in Northern Ireland 
Nothing changes

Just the year and enemy changes 
I'd rather have Neo Soviet Russia 
and Red China as enemies 
Tho dangerous we know their capabilities 
Little is unknown unlike this new war

Love. Unrequited , unacted.
In torture
A prison of the soul
An endurance campaign
Cold war tactic
A bottomless hole
Juggernaut winds. Chaotic rain
My persistence, in text, now sent
Driven insane
Infinite distance
Confused -	no kiss	-	No answer
And still no end
No incidents or accidents
Not one happy coincidence
Just privacy
Lonesome sick sense
That this romance
A travesty
deny a first or last chance.

Premium Member The Thermoflask

The philosophy of a thermoflask 
Is simple
To keep the temperature stable
At least for 24 hours
Before a new day
Icy cold remains icy cold
Hot remains hot
No sophistication
Love resembles that too
Keep up the sentiments and feelings
Wholeheartedly
And romantically
For life
As he will be 
The only one in your life
And don't  ever start a cold war 
It hurts the heart of tender feelings
Like a thermoflask
