Premium Member A Gut-Punch Question

I took my junker to the body shop
  My belly poking out of my tank top

Intake guy looked up from his laptop
  Sayin' ~ 'Your car or you, Pop?!'

God did give us sinful Trump
as pure punishment

Gut-Wrenching Tale

There was a diner cook in South Hupper
whose food was bad from breakfast to supper.
Tried to make it right
sadly lost the fight
when shot dead by a poisoned up-chucker.

My Sagging Gut

Bob
I'll call him Bob

children run
by and ask me
what happened

did I get pregnant?
no, I tell them.
I'm a guy.

it just happens with
age
then I laugh
when they begin
to wonder if they'll
get sagging bellies
too.

Gripping the Gut of Remorse

My loss led me to confront 
the consequences of my reckless emotions.

For you are still clutching to my heart,
 stabbing into my soul like that of a dagger. 

Please let me go 
and live out my destiny...

...Our foretold fate.


Gut Feeling

people go to psychics and ask questions ...i
f they truly believe in the answers ...
it comes to pass ...through expectation of it ...
seek and you will find the person with the cute behind
so you are torn in two directions
go with your gut feeling ...its right

Premium Member Bouncing That Gut Feeling

viscera wound tighter
   than the tightest rubber ball
   never mind bouncing off the walls
   guts like a pinball machine
   an arcade between the ears
   with tilt alarms screaming

The Courage To Write

Courage to write
Starts inside

Trusting your cadence
Your pain your smile
Your anger your light


Your sense (s)
The gut that’s yours
Inside, moving, 
Struggling through the blindness 

To move forward 
Towards your voice

True, trusting, honest

Start somewhere
Start here
Start now

Gut Level Programming

What did you think on that day
Did it shock you wanting to get away
Have you seen the ending
When the result was never ending

And you stood there wondering
Where the sight of it all was engendering
So you knew then it would not go away
It would be in your mind just fading to grey.

That Gut Feeling That Makes You Laugh

That's all It may be 
but this has meaning
it's an evil clenching
a feeling: fencing
a battle of body and mind
but you're to decide

Something you read 
and you skim and skim
again and again
and your in pain
your stomach hurts
and you go insane
you hold in a laugh 
but not for long
you blank out...
and you walk away

Gut Instinct

Go with your gut instinct 
Don't force communication
Keep them short and succinct
Don't fool your emotions
They be alluring and distinct 
Doesn't mean there's a link
If feeling a bit on edge 
Leave it on the ledge
Ain't gotta make no pledge
If they constantly make you think
The feeling just ain't right
Don't give it any fight 
Stay out of their sight

Pause

I don't have to explain myself
I know my tasks
I know my present
I know my past
I trust my thoughts
I follow my gut
I know when to talk
and when to shut up.

I don't need your opinion
I don't need your attention
I don't need your pity
I don't need your protection 
this is my domain
not your extension
I've been always on my own anyways
without your affection

Trust Your Gut

You should always trust your gut.
Ignore advice that starts with, “But…”
And let that door swing slowly shut
That leads to other ways.

For if you heed a different voice
And give in to another choice,
Most likely you will not rejoice
Since caving rarely pays.

It’s true, your gut may steer your wrong
But when that inner pull is strong,
Where it may lead’s where you belong,
For instinct rarely strays.

From the Gut

I had my father's face
his mouth and eyes
his thin skinned heart.
Though those features have melted
and are smeared by old age.
I sometimes wonder if he ever had my
genetically maimed gut.
He never knew me
nor I him,
but I carry my mother's pain
her long gut-aching loss,
but her loss and mine
were never the same.
You can't mend a loss
you cannot name
and she could not shed
her gut-wrenching death wish
until it came for her.

In Your Gut

What you feel in your gut
Can’t be called right or wrong
For your gut’s where the strongest 
Emotions belong.

Both your brain and your heart
Filter feelings you hold,
Which may soften or change
Based on things you’ve been told.

But your gut takes the kick 
And the way you react
May determine if you
Can survive it intact.

With a poke from your brain
And a nudge from your heart,
You can temper the kick
Without falling apart.

Premium Member Gut Feeling

On that dark and dismal road
 just me and him. 
Inside me, something is screaming  
can you hear me
will you hear me
do you dare me
weird, supernatural aura
intangible, formless
floating there in my gut
scattered butterflies
fluttering 
frenzied
frantic
in a dark deep barrel
there is no escape.
As we pass by each other
he raise his hand,
a threat.
everything within me stopped
silenced by fear
petrified. 
He laughed mockingly
and walked on.

Gut Instinct

Your 1st 

Initial thought that spring's to mind

Your Gut Instinct 

Tell's you

In response to your opinion on any given question 

Is your Truth 

Thinking thereafter 

Will only disseminate your Truth

And over a period of said time

Will be turned into a Lie 

You then have to remember 

If someone should ever

Ask you the same question over again

And you then appear 

Not a deliverer of Truth

But just another Convenient 

Liar

Premium Member Star Dusted Gut

Most days you ooze cockiness from your chest
but I've a feeling that during dark times
you pray to that somebody or something...
That somebody or something 
that's creating at the speed of light.

The same speed that our souls travel at. 
When shot out of this life and into the next.
This belief didn't come from tea leaves or tarot cards.
It came from my star-dusted gut.

We will all meet the universe maker someday.
In the near future, at the entrance to an ancient star gate.
