Spinal Run

the pain,
was not pain,
in the main,
till it climbed the spine,
and ran up there in mind,
it hit a spot ,
and from there distributed it got,
it was only then pain made him whine.

Premium Member Life Lightly Brushes our Toes


         Life slips through our fingers
            past eyes, ears, and nose
               lightly brushes our toes
      
         In the main, we slumber our way
            to the grave ~ dja have a nice day?

Archer Divine

The bow of
God’s wrath 
is restrung in
the dark
To target
injustice
and hate
as its mark
Each arrow
His judgment
of life
in the main 
And striking
dead center
He frees us

Whats starners game? As peace keepers they could be
Hit' that would derail things I'm sure of it.' To much

Train and Plane

If I must be plain
The popularity of a Train
Had begun to wane
And to skyrocket that of Plane
Airports sweeping lots of gain,
With little or no strain:
Billions of dollars in the main;
In case of Nigeria: Naira Rain:
A Lion complete with Kingly mane,
Though Air Disaster their combative bane.

Premium Member the day nothing almost happened

those leaf cutter ants lost in the desert ~ they try slice open each grain

God shows moses as the red sea closes ~ yet unseen they’ll die in vain

I’ve witnessed things so tiny and fast ~ that never occurred in the main

unlike people who won’t believe their eyes ~ and claim it’s legerdemain

Females and males have different plumbing, that I think it is just wonderfully celestial. "Whichever" bathroom logos on bathroom doors... dismiss God's creations as inconsequential. These are not only highly PC inane,but in the main, totally, and uniquely.....irreverential! September 28, 2019

Method

Stop the go around 
Game untitled in the main
Clouds all speaking same
Main core 
Sunshine
Peeking then abounding through
worth looking up in wonderment
Fail proof
Spending time in downs 
Looking up
Clearing Showing right stuff
Clouds are needed 
Just as God says
Some dark bathes the way
Through all creation 
Truth spray

Premium Member I'M a Lover Not a Fighter

I'm a lover not a fighter,
I'm a fighter not a fool.
I won't surrender inalienable rights,
To Washington's Marxist tools.

I'm a lover not a fighter,
I'm a fighter not a fool.
I won't abide the liar's,
In the main stream media pool.

I'm a lover not a fighter,
I'm a fighter not a fool.
I know that God in Heaven,
Will ultimately rule.

Premium Member The Rainshade

The voice of spring rain It’s darkly etched, in the sky face, rainshade in the main, I don't complain. lyrical steps falling, frothing seductively, slo-flowing rain that they are strained. The weather vane's become inane, when every day it rains again. It's plain to see for you and me it has to be the end * of play.

Two.Continue

For the wiser, Meisser I see your eyes...

Two continue,
throughout the stars
from afar
the start shows bright,
in a Knight
is the light of a spiraling eye.
Can you fly?

With me...Two,
the digital see,
in flickering pixel stars
Can be, anything.

The fabric, Imagination.
Two elation, near
The CanIs... Major.

My favorite your flavor.
Two scoops in the Main.

Wanton Abyss

The future will never wait
So I figure lets channel the surplus now
While there's salt in the flesh
And juices run through veins
In the main feed of life
Waste no time to get it right
Keep crafting like serpent's artillery
Charge off like bandits in the night
Blazoned with the candle of love
Strike me through wanton abyss
Blissful on God's endless pyre 
Inspire the sparks of romance
On this love emboldened

Contest, name and date Why does a judge need to know It beggars belief why they ask this When only words should show To deliberate and determine Where said poetry has been scribed Surely it's down to wonder Then who's best, and to then decide This happens on quite a few sites So it appears to be in the main Purely to know who's written such It simply can't be the same :-(

A Family Consolation

Welcome back, my son
To the family bosom
Where in fits and starts fun
Extracted you for seasons without reason

That tore the family fabric
With a yawning gap
Which no trick
Whatever its map

Could relieve
As family pain and strain
Could give
No respite in the main

Regardless of postures
Family embraced
Until your return new cultures
Consolation stressed

In smiles for miles
Soothing the void
Created in styles
Both you and family could in future avoid.

Drowning

I am drowning! 
Deep in the main!
Chocked! 
I am hardly breathing!

Am I dying?
 Or in a blithe
Of ecstatic oblivion

Hey! There is pain!
Something……I can’t explain
May be a painless pain                      
As if honey bees stinging
But just honey! No agony!!

Heebie-jeebies running
As if I am stolen

I’m hunting; hurtling
For contour of my own 

Craving; raving
Frantic trying
To feel my soul in
My palms palpitating

Yes! I am drowning
In your love-ocean!!!

A Ravaging Downpour

A ravaging downpour,
At destruction not pour;
In farms a chainsaw,
Trees punching their core,
On many leaving a sore
All your cries from bare floor!

Muddy water in drains,
Obvious from speeding trains.
My face notes these with pain
But never Evil judges The Rain.
If I be upset “What Gain?”
Still, A loser in the main!

Gathering closer her aggrieved silk, 
A dame starts mourning The Spilling Milk:
A woman whose man is no farmer; 
Lips are rather proclaiming Snake Charmer!
