I intend to be silent--
Not to say a word

And my tongue begins to argue
I can see a flaming fire
Everything collapses...

Life Always Goes On
Life always danger,
     Life always up to fail,
     always drifting,
      almost collapses
    but never
    sinks, never
    shipwreck...!
     life survives,,,!......

London collapses
trains, planes, and automobiles
trapped and flash-frozen emplace 

Christmas lights still bright
If one ventured through the night
ghost carolers in the mews...

Premium Member Tension
Too much tension on a wire
Will cause it to snap,
Too much tension in the brain
Makes for mean collapses,
Be sure to rig with a swag
And protect your synapses.

Optimist Moto
If there ever be a saddened face,
a floating toast, an empty vase,
continue...
If the ceiling door collapses, 
a fountain dries, a page erases
marvel...
and breathe the elixir of continuous life....

Nothing
Nothing
That’s all I feel alone in bed at night
Nothing
That's all I feel as my wrist seep with crimson liquid
Nothing 
That's all I feel as my world collapses around me
All that's left is
Nothing...

Capitalism
Capitalism if you know not
is a ping pong game
feet must move very fast
hands on clear  target
ball bounced back quick
eyes on opponent’s  actions 
joy when opponent faults
take it all when foe collapses...

Chef's Agony
However much wisdom
he uses to cook beans
the thing remain beans
it cannot become meat
when he forces the menu
it collapses in saucepan
at times it disappears
and in agony skilled chef
has no story to tell...

Premium Member On the Steps To No Where
On the steps to no where
She runs pounding with horse hoofs 
No one chases her but she feels they are
She is panting when she finally collapses.
Before we can capture her, she is off again.
Running from grief....

I Realize
When i watch you sleep
i can tell you're not hurting.
i see how peaceful you look.
I realize then, how much i love you,
my heart drops,
my stomach tightens,
and my body collapses.
That feeling,
is what i live for....

All Hope Lost
Red river, red river
Runs thinner, runs thinner

Scrapes and scratches
Lead to silence 
As your heart
Collapses

Black coffin, black coffin
Soothe, Soften, Soothe, Soften

When nobody listens,
The gray grave glistens...

Justice
Convicted witch
Who cursed the rich
Will strangle in
A rope-choked grin.

The gallows creaks!
Before two weeks
The duke she named
Collapses, lamed.

His crops decay,
His hair grows grey,
And two weeks more
His lips froth gore....

Premium Member Despair
the ceiling
over hope
      collapses
            t  r  a  p  p  i  n  g
the faithless
in the heaping rubble
of suffocating
despair.
