Infamy

negating what goodness remained,
a time of infamy it shall always be,
a bloody chapter in human history.

Premium Member Infamy and Narcissus

If Narcissus had just been a female
  she would not have been infamous at all

Admiring her locks in clear water
  she might have been anyone’s daughter

The Growing Insanities of War

The infamy of War 
Whether itself in victory, sacrifice or gloom of story
Eventually determines those who wait cast of bronze
Posed for its eternity, and a certain glory

An Ill Wind

He has talent first seen as delinquency
That has given him fame, perhaps infamy
When he’s mad or chagrined
He’s inclined to break wind 
With a sound like a Beethoven symphony
Form: Limerick


War For the Sake of War [revised]

The infamy of war itself, whether in sacrificial victory or gloom defeat of story
Eventually determines who await cast of bronze
Eternally posed, for it's own never ending glory

Together Bonnie
We set out on a love spree
For eternity

Blinded by no tear
We will always remain near
Never showing fear

You have not left me
We survive in infamy
Bloody destiny

Peaceful Sky

Art, Action, Death

Great Nebula
Stellar nursery
Cradle to grave
Clouds of infamy
Entomb Orion 
Killer of beasts
Born of Bulls Hyde
Stung to die

The peaceful sky
Harbours violence

The Lost Ghost Division

Is such not but for the "Infamy of War," when already known are the faces who would not await cast in bronze! - Sayeth General George Pickett's Ghost Division of young men now gone...

Premium Member Tv's Infancy

Television way back in it's infancy Pure as the driven snow, no naughty imagery Bikinis, not a chance No extra tight pants This distorted view of life will go down in infamy

A Day That'Ll Live In Infamy

A day
Yesterday
2400 hours long
didn't talk to my baby
stayed up all night
making her a tape
hoping everything's okay
my mind was just agape
that's all I have to say
today is a virgin day.

Fame Or Infamy

The best thing of all …
 a memory treasured
The worst thing of all …
a memory shamed
Blessing the one
cursing the other
To live on beyond us
— in praise or blame

John Lennon Dead 8 December 1980

A hot summer afternoon
A news flash around noon
John Lennon shot dead
For infamy instead
Mark Chapman for the kill
For him just the thrill
And we lost a treasure
Gone from the world forever.

Perfidious infamy
Designs derogatory
Promotion of anti-culture
Nomenclatural delinquency
Advance ultimate heresy
Sub-humanic conclave
Intentions for a world grave
Noisesome clutch of vultures.

Defeate On Qutation

playing for keeps,enemy of my life long entity calling me , and me calling it infamy.
 needed not to outlast the limits pushing me and me pushing it limitlessly.
 freedom hanging limiting the throat full modern day lovely calling it golden

Premium Member Of Faded Infamy

Colors in the sky
Red dots winged evil
Black stench of flaming fear
Rainbowed path of burning oil
Whistling sting of shrapnel’s stolen lives
A sunny Sunday gone wrong
The tattered flags
RED  WHITE  and  BLUE

Memories

Ginger ‘s hair now grey,  bragging
     Impishly, how she  had worn a mini
     Never  short of partners  when
     Going out until small hours dancing
     Enjoying  the infamy of being a rebel  the
     Rosy cheeked lady recalled yesteryear

infamy

the war to end all wars
did not
thus are the endless battles
ever fought
for we refuse to learn
lessons taught
by empty windows draped
with golden stars
by those who carry still
war’s hidden scars

Infamy

Vandals, 
graphity,
is it an eye sore
or art on the wall
We all leave our mark
Monumental or small
Chiseled in stone
Or in memories
Don't be forgotten
Like the wind on a breeze
Whether it's grand or merrily a speck
In infamy
LIVE
Without a regret

You'Ve Been Reckless

You've been reckless
like a marsh fever
You've got the infamy
Did you really need
that Hollywood look
Being with you 
makes it hard
Your eyes of blue
are a culpable blame,
You gallivant around
Your furtive dream is over
The Sun is an aside
Solitary you run

Premium Member The New York Bell



The golden bell clangs and a name, is read aloud.
Like human incense, in the shape of a lovely
heart-cloud.

Many want to forget America's day of infamy.
But to family and friends, each name bears much 
love and eternal dignity.

Infamy

Infamy is not dignified. 

Or pleasant. 

As the speculation would pool around me. 

I would find myself degrading. 

And feeling horrified. 

Shaking from the travesty-

The one used to keep me safe. 

Steeping in the empathy-

That they say I’m not capable of.

Future State

Incursion,moribundant
Iniquity,a malediction
Too late for reflection
No use for apologies
The harm has been done
Animus emotions
No war is ever won
Abjective adversity
Asperity of atrophy
Aberration then infamy
A molevolent society
A dictators sick dream
Future state,our reality!!!

Premium Member Six For You

Captured everyday is where I cherish our memories
Enraptured by you is where I explore our intimacy
So focused on you is where I planned this destiny
Encouraged by you is where I fulfilled any infamy
You are an inevitable entity resting inside of me
Holding on to whatever I forever prolong us to be
