My gaze you held

You made my heart implode

Slowly 

Until all I ever dreamed of

Was you...

I probe
the globe
implode
explode

I smell 
the fear
death's knell
is near!

We live
to sing
all hail
the King!...

face frowns, mouth sucks,
cheeks implode, tongue recoils
head snaps back - disgusting taste - sour

are we better
are we not

one
by
one
until they all

Hold me back before I succeed

Hold me back before I blossom

Hold me back before I implode

Hold me back before I gnash my teeth and bite your arm off

Hold me back...

they stir inside me in a whirl
bursting demanding to be shared
it's obvious that i'll implode
if i don't let them speak their mind

Trapped by a promise
 exitway
closed

Memories held captive
hope
long deposed

Dreams
shattered mirrors
shards that implode

Sentenced to wander
despondent
I go

Compression ingestion
The world to implode
The numbers decreasing
  —resistance explodes

From diamond to carbon
Wheels spin in reverse
The groundhog, the treadmill
  —millennium’s curse

Plectrum

By Nathan Hannen

My sides hurt, And my teeth erode
I am struck and slid, My duty to explode
For a rhythm of power, And pain, Implode
If life is a tune, I am the beat
Expire too soon, When the crowd leave

The End....

Wheels spin in reverse
The groundhog, the treadmill

You Quiz-puzzlers out there,
I hope you take care,
And don't sucumb to high blood pressure,
Please don't implode like the good sub, U.S.S. Thresher,
So take it in stride,
With the answers I do hide,
And you'll wake up all that much fresher...

At Christmas we feast to our hearts galore,
And can eat until our stomachs are sore,
If one’s gut should implode,
The bottom may explode,
Oh! My goodness! Do I have to say more?

Red Faced


Barrel Bombs
From Soviet Tombs
The Reds smell blood
Watching it glow
Old friends hold hands
While the Soviet glories implode
The murder from above
In the name of inflation
Crimes in Crimea
Exported
To Syria

City lights are diamantes
On a black-sand beach  

The bonfire is a driftwood woman
With shattered bones and teeth

We are a 
                Clan
That sends gunpowder to the sea

Fireworks are water globes
That implode

Just out of reach...

Crossroads 
dissect my life.
My thoughts 
implode...
wrong 
or right?

A tear,
above,
falls here
for love.
Mine eyes
bleed bitter blood.

A dream/
a hope
await 
their burial.
Painting portraits
of me 
perching
headlong
on my grave's edge....

My eyes explode,
  within the beauty of your image

My ears implode, 
  within the magic of your words

My mind expands,
  within the thought of you inside me

My heart ignites,
—within the fire of your love

MOCHA


Your eyes sear me
softly singing words
without words intense
mocha warmth 
hot strong coffee
myriad heated thoughts
explode my brain
implode my being
to mere 
...
speech
...
less

Alveoli burst in seething pain
Green bile floods out of lacerations.
Cruciform expletives implode into disaster.
I slice cornea's from my weary eyes.
Scum stained nails rip teeth from jagged mouths.
I stood in the womb of creation and cried.
Assailed on all sides by the blinding dark....

Death shrieks a pebble

Down the dusty-road 

Corn stalks and spiders sing

Silence and division

Gravel shouts boot-heels


A steel beast hums a rusted ode

As crows and eagles implode

The clouds float a witness

The wind blows sweet distress

An engine fires a scream


A hiker gasps a dream…...

Listen to poem:

life is short
wouldn’t want to miss a chance
for all the loving ways
to express how i feel

no holding back
for fear i might implode

i can’t
i won’t
i refuse
to miss out on any one
of the many ways to tell you
how much i care
