Premium Member In Her Cups

at peace but alone
a feeling wholeness lingers
pondering the space
where once there was tea for two
now there is but one cold cup

Ego cups have now been filled

To the point of overflowing

Confidence and power now heightened

Cups

What's up with this cup?
Who took a sip?
Throw away this drink
I don't want your spit
This stain in my cup
What's the meaning of it?

Three Cups of Love

She gave me three cups of love,
I drank the first and felt good.
Second made me foolishly drank,
the third made me addicted,

Premium Member He Is In His Cups Again

Crazy white rabbit trumpeter had a magic horn
You could hear its cloudy sound past the Iowa corn
I think he is in cups again my great-great-grandma said.
She always knew when he was stoned out of his head.

Cups and Saucers

Cups and saucers are couples,
Around,
Always together,
Hugging each other,
In a painful pleasure touch,
If one dies other lives a short,hidden,
Some active,
Some inactive,
Some sometimes alone,
The couple a model to make!

Premium Member Four Cups of Wine

Four cups of wine
    Fruit of the vine
  Sounds like a mighty fine time

  Truth be told, it's drunk late at night
    with kids up and cranky
  It's not my idea of a delight 

  Many heads will be spinning 
    for hours on end
  And then the very next night ~
    It's the same thing again

Premium Member Cups of Loneliness

If passion could be a voice. What tune will be performed? If joy was a tangle. Is it going to fall apart? If love was a meal. What will it taste like? If you spread it to others. Will it be a pointless exercise? Perhaps affection is best seen. Across cups of loneliness?

In Cups

In  cup
Is what you drink
From cup
In seed
 What you harvest
From seed
In silent
Of your thoughts
Your words
Are Born  indeed
And words yours
Bear your deed
And fate
Is what in your heart
Your Mug indeed
Born in deep
As  nation who lead
 Drops
 Of what in her cups
 of deep
Watch in cups
What  contained
In cups
Contained us
With cap

Premium Member Three Cups To Be Nice

One cup of coffee.
Do I want breakfast?
Not yet. Second cup of coffee maybe.

I am still not pleasant.
I can feel my growly face. 
I had better have a third cup.

If someone speaks to me 
I might go off the deep end.
I am not ready to be sociable or nice yet.

My husband tiptoes in, 
sees my face, 
and turns back around. 

He knows I am still in the “gnawing your legs off”
frame of mind this morning.
He and the dog both read me well.

Cups -Personification-

They like to be held
when the weather gets cold,
they could be worn down to nothing
don't mind growing too old.

They enjoy having a cold drink
even a warm one would do,
enjoy being kissed softly
when they're feeling blue.

They won't cry a single tear
so long as you're there with them,
all they really want
is to be your friend.

Peanut Butter Cups

She always had one
In her hand.

“Peanut butter cups,”
She’d say,
“They help me forget.”

She spent her saved change
On peanut butter cups
At the 7-11 down the road
Every day.

She would come to class
Holding a peanut butter cup
And would sit in the second row—
Second chair—
Eating it silently.

When she was done
She would fold the wrapper
Into a little heart
And slip it into her lunchbox.

I wondered
How many hearts she had made.

Amongst the Dregs of My Cups

I do not, amongst the dregs of my cups,
Consider you worthy to be the theme 
For my untutored scribblings.
There, Madame, there: I put you 
In your place, amongst the detritus 
Of my life, the forgotten effigies of life, 
As she should be lived.
Yet, you do not acquiesce to my intentions,
And re-emerge into my consciousness
To disturb and argue for attention and 
Writings.
I am weak, and accede to your importuning
With versification to placate your demands, 
To show my love.

Premium Member The Entertainer, a Game of Cups

Scripted television nanny

All the Lions roared their approval
dancing puppets

Stars shown twinkling delight
mask global death

My favorite football team
diverts my attention

Smiling ringmasters bow to each other
chosen talent cheered like god
(even call themselves jesus)

While blinded by the sun (tv)
the world devil cult
plays us like a game of cups

Cows, smiling, entertained to satisfaction
shuffling towards
hamburger
rapture

Towards
Hamburger
Rapture

To Fill Our Cups With Good

nor peace that dwell below us
even in the depths of hell
let Satan hoisted 
His bright sails of light and darkness
to all the ships that sail 
voices sing out towards the dark wine sea
bring forth the ubiquitous blue light 
from the melodic swing of the pendulum
while navigating through dark spaces
we need ice water to quench our thirst
without forgiveness to come this far
life in the inferno that burn like the sun
nor peace that dwell below us
shall ask to fill our cups with good
