Stationary Prisoner

bidding her farewell,
mist of unsaid confessions
rail track  forever
in legs turned heavy anklets 
--stationary prisoner--

Eve's Drop

A priest hears confessions Q.T.
And grants absolution for free
Just hearing a cop
In a doughnut shop
Scares the "Be-Jesus" out of me!
Form: Limerick

Premium Member Olive Oil Confessions

The bottle pours too fast,
gold-green streaks darkening the wood.

It smells like something honest,
I wipe it clean
before anyone notices.

Silent Confessions

My mind is overcome
Words I crave
Yet cannot give
Your attention fickle
Mine constant, unyielding
I would give the world
For you to look upon me

Confessions of a Teacher-Poet

I
Do not let your words die inside
That advice makes me a teacher-poet
Don't judge me, we both have the right 
To write: death comes before we know it

Confessions 2

I am not a paid-up member here
Hence you don't see me everywhere
There is a contest, be it poems or prose
On this site, I find everyday heroes & sheroes

Sanguine souls melted, In last confessions of death As flames of crimson, Draped their souls in lithe petals Of a black, gold-lined lotus.

Confessions of a Teacher-Poet Number 4

I confess I was surprised to make POTD
That may have been at the start
Of this year, rhymes with PLENTY, 20202
No poem, 'twas, encountering abortion, guilty heart

Tear Crocodile Bush

If pray

A burning bush

Twas to appear

I fear

Crocodile tears

May not be enough

To quell 

It's flammable design

In time for next pennants

And confessions

There once was a priest who went to jail
He needed more money to make bail
   He listened to confessions
   To all kinds of transgressions
~ Did it all through pay-pal and email

Confessions In the Rain

impassioned sky mumbles tasteless rain
a soaking measly carapace collects  muddy remains
weather overbears a confessing cloud.

Confessions of a Teacher-Poet 5

I
These confessions, what do they mean?
Is she about to retire from the SOUP site?
Maybe she feels he has more rights ... not quite!
Meaning members deserve more benefits ... to write?

Acid Rain

My dark deeds
Of shame and filth,
My coward confessions
of cupidity and sin,
My redblooded eyes
Murders of innosense,
Yahweh! to you I cry,
Wash away my stains
Pour some acid rain.

Waterboarding

Stop the 
waterboarding
of poems. False
confessions fly and 
scarred
they hobble out
bleeding yellow, blue, green
all at once - 
sometimes poems don't know
what you think they do.

Confessions of a Drunk

Buys  another drink;
Always drinks his whisky neat.
Loosens up his tongue, 
Tells the barman, ‘Hey buddy,
‘I’m the ‘girl’ you kissed last night.’

Often Oppossed To Obsessions

Often Oppossed to Obsessions

Often have been opposed to obsessions;
And then you must obtain more sessions,
Thought needed,
Never impeded,
Of constant concentration on confessions.

To Love:

to love is to
be vulnerable;
no wonder i am
made of steel

to love is to 
open the
floodgates;
i am a desert
while you are a 
canal

too many metaphors;
not enough confessions

Premium Member Hearten Hearts Confessions Made Soft-

There's no love with a hard heart There's no forgiveness Without acknowledgment So confess out of your soft mind and heart

Form: Rhyme

I Speak, Therefore I Am

Approaching the lexicon
of what’s still unsaid,
My words beg acceptance
now silent unread

Inside there’s a freedom
once crossing the line,
unspoken confessions
—unfrozen in rhyme

CONFESSIONS
invoking
 argument
in
expressive
  disturbance
of
thoughts
dimly
 audible
opening
possibilities

ambiguity
 in
origins
tease
&
elude
to
bring
 exposed
 parallels
of
pleasures
in
primitive
 delight
Form: Verse

Apprehension

Anticipation
Pending elation
Past impressions
Rogue confessions
Evoke restraint,
Hovering fear
Every time you are near
Newly made perceptions
Silent misconceptions
Inner hesitation
Over wrought sensation
Never-ending elation.

Premium Member Lena Mickou

white of the birch winter
the cold seeps into old bones
Lena 
stare cold
only to those
who have not met
her heart

Siberian dreams
my white russian melts 
in winters wind
confessions I give
red lips
made me sin
the spy within

Premium Member Confessions of a Chocoholic

If it's made out of chocolate
       I'll eat a lot of it
     You say that's too much?
       in my mouth I will shove it

     I'll eat anything
       that is coated in 'C'
     And now I'm so bloated
       I fear you'll eat me

Tongue's Tangeled Trap

Aah! 
That fatal slip
tongue's tangled trap
bites back
revealing duplicitous
whispered coos; confessions
of brilliant, enthralling lies
suspected, yet undetected 
until,
like a prized peach pit,
her name is slip spit;
intended as that
of mine.
