Immigrantis will poison our blood
Flotillis nonabzorba—a flood
Trumpcissus doth speak
And shall bear this critique
“Thou orate constantinely such crud!”

No other personalty to adjust
Just me and im perfectly happy with that..

Premium Member Coffee First, Then All Else Makes Sense

If ocean was coffee, I was a duck,

I'd swim to the bottom, never come up,

But ocean's not coffee, I'm not a duck,

So bring me coffee inside of a cup.

Lets Be Something Else

Good people stand
When forced to kneel
Push my head
against the barrel
you point against my head
I hand in my membership to humanity
lets be something else

No One Else

No one else says the things you say
No one else lights up my life like you
No one else says those words,
                 I love you

But why deceiving each other by many different ways
Love has become the slogan of the days
but our hearts are empty of feelings and prays

Someone Else

No one can love you till you learn to 
love yourself.
I learned that when i fell and went 
through hell and came back as 
someone else.

No One Else But Me

Lord, here I am
Leaf and stem
These eyes are closed
You come and go
No one else, but me
You bring me joy 
This unconditional love
Sweet truth in the light
No one else but me

No One Else

It was supposed to be you,
That I loved forever,
That I spend the rest of my life with.
I guess not all love stories come true.
There was no one better,
No one else to love,
Except you…
Form: Haiku

Premium Member A woman before anything else

High heels in lawyer’s closet.
Pressed and starched weekday black and whites.
Three drawers of fine lingerie.

Happy birthday, dear Elly Belles, 
Man's knowledge is not sufficient; 
Only God knows and no one else, 
For the Father is omniscient.

Nothing Else

Drunk I am.  
Desireous too.
A simple response
To the sight of you.

Not appropriate
or requested
Nonetheless true.

I will move on.
I'm sure I will. I must,

Because there is nothing else.

No Better Way Else To Grow


Focus on loving more with crazy mind, 
Instead of awesome heart that becomes blind... 
When need arise to correct;
Fooling act, faults disconnect
That could distract better next- luck assigned.

Who Else Will Read This?

Who else will read this?
It was for your eyes only
But my verses mean nothing now
My eyes scan the screen
Over and over
Are these emotions only for the poet?
It’s just me and my words
A match made in Heaven
Form:

None Else

I know none else but the one who on the cross died,
The David's son to whom the blind man cried
And was given back his stolen sight;
That so well I know beyond any dubious amend,
And beyond the ripples of fright.
Form: Pastoral

What else is left?

Once again I am lost,
No words left to utter
That hasn't already been said.
What else is there to share,
What else could there be
Other than the incessant cries of my desperation
As I beg you to come home to me.

STOP! OR ELSE

Glaring oracles, suspended high above the asphalt,
Imperiously commanding reckless drivers to a sharp halt.
Defenestrate the folly of haste, oblivious to the signals, 
Prioritize life over velocity and frivolous giggles.

Premium Member does everyone else understand bird speak

the birds’ conversation is lively and fast
do the trees understand?
what about the long grasses and the violets?
Is everyone in the know?
the mosses? the dandelions? the ivy?
Does everybody understand bird speak except me?

Shut Up Or Else

Hide under a rock,
In your mouth, stuff a sock!
Just don't say anything!
Just glue up your lips!
Or shut em' up with a lock!
Just don't say anything!
No one wants to hear your crap!
Shut up! Or we will feed you to a hawk!

Premium Member Nowhere Else To Go

It is coming
Sooner than we think.
What will we do then?

Violence
Tearing us apart.
Only a matter of when.

Cannot imagine
What it will look like.
Who can ever know?

The past
Always repeats itself.
Nowhere else to go.
