Laughter Kills

Romania (laughter kills))

They hooted
When the dictator spoke 
They chortled
Odium
Giggles of utter contempt 
Then they shot him.

Premium Member Nostalgia Kills

Though they were so few,
For the rest of my life I shall rue:
How life swept our memories away,
How I matter less, with each passing day.

An Arrow In the Eye Will Often Blind You (In 1066 It Kills You Though)

sparks fire forth
flares flame endlessly
scissor kick infinity
dark souls torment
yawns swallow chaos

1066 scream painfully
future dies abruptly
god cares naught
strangle hopes fruitlessly

Leopard Kills Xena

Although, being cautious during explorations,
     forests generally host intrinsic jeopardy.
Killer leopards mutilate not only people, quickly.
Readily, saving them until voracity wants: Xena; Yaks; Zebras.

Window Kills

I said for sure a window can kill 
                              In the starry night a cat named Bill
                              Pounced on your dream with overkill
                               You popped a series of sleeping pill

War Kills

War kills

Retina less windows
Bodies were strewn on foul streets
A photo of Grozny
Summary execution
Death sways from unlit lampposts 
Friend or foe
Who knows?
Conspiracy of peace
Both sides declare victory
The truth is debris

Depression Kills

Demons whispers
Eroding sanity
Persistently questioning
Relations history
Ever present
Silently absorbing
Suffering alone
Idyllic fantasy
Oppressing reality
None can
Know misery
I feel
Laughter masks
Losers surprise
Sorry end
Form: Acrostic

The Look That Kills

Deception of reflection,
each mirror so enthralls
Calling in our timeless hope,
frozen in its pall

Its backing silver plated,
to seal the ego’s dream
Lending what cannot be bought
—deadly in its gleam

Premium Member Credit Kills More People Than It Helps

Credit Kills More People Than It Helps By Tom Wright There was a young man from Stone Bluff, Who purchased all his “stuff” on the cuff? But then one day, It came time to pay, And that bankruptcy court sure was rough

Love Kills

I love you,
though, can't tell if you do.
You hate yourself and others, too.
Your life is what you often screw.

The small gleam in your eyes,
takes my breath away and my heart cries,
for I could never win you as a prize. 
My lungs die whilst my soul flies.

His Love Kills Me Slowly

My heart broken
My love fading
Eyes watering
Words choking
Living incomplete
Half alive
Jaw dropping
Cold chill
Body shaken
Mind in disbelief
Hopeless
Walking, standing alone
Unloved by another
Crushed in many ways
"Bullet to my Chest"
Breathless..

Premium Member I'M Alive To Say It Kills Me

I'm tired of the "needing",
To be killing anybody.
I'm tired of injustice,
And the shooting, and the stabbing.
I'm tired of what is,
And has been happening.

She was just a woman,
Working for another dollar.
He thought to kill someone;
Many will not see tomorrow.

Curiosity Kills

BUMP
Under the bed
I am awake.

SMASH
Outside the door
I am standing.

THUMP
On the stairs
My hand on the doorknob.

SMACK
At the front door
I am in the hallway.

BANG
Outside in the rain
I am sopping wet.

SQUISH
They walk through the rain
I am drenched in blood.

Epilepsy Kills

Let the bed murmur not;
The jealous are behind the door,
To eardrop the noise from the springs.

Let the key seal its hole;  
Green eye monsters are behind the door,
To have a glimpse of the angels within .

Let the jealous seek cure;
Ears here,eyes there; peace nowhere;
Epilepsy kills.

Drunk Driver Kills Young Lady's Dog

Melanie cried for hours the day 
a drunk driver ran over her dog
a week after she had an abortion.
She loved that dog so much 
she told her mother she knew 
Ollie was now in heaven barking 
as the angels blew their horns.
Her mother softly daubed her tears.
Nothing worse than losing a dog.

One Kills You But the Other Heals You

ONE KILLS BUT THE OTHER HEALS YOU

Be careful of what you ask for.
God gives but you have to be sure.
Whatever you WANT can kill you
But what you NEED will heal you.
Having everything you WANT is punishing
But receiving everything you NEED is blessing.

In War, Victory Kills

The Warrior On Top The Mountain
Swings His Sword Like A Legend
Though I'm Skilled In Combat
Let These Words Teach You A Lesson...
Some Avoid War Because
They Could Lose In The End
I Avoid War Because
What I Will Destroy Just To Win....
Defeat Dies.....
Victory Kills...
It Is Better To Let The Hate Move On
And Let The Love Stand Still

Love Kills

pendants  of hearts
dangling from my noose
it's not a game
sheole awaits me

now standing on the gallows
in front of this crowd
i cry for her
my life's incomplete

so little time
until i dangle my feet
i asked for forgiveness
she won't forget

now the price is my life
the cost is too high
all because she wed
some stupid guy

The Kiss Kills

The water drowns,
the skin bruises,
the eyes hide,
the kiss kills.
Weaving in and out
stitching myself up,
trying to fix myself
stitching the wounds left. 
The scarring will last forever
yet you play victim,
I'm falling for us both
this is the only defense I'm left.
The fire burns,
the mind sleeps,
the veins bleeds,
the kiss kills.

Crack Kills

Crack Kills Crack and Pill went up the hill to fetch a pail of slaughter, Crack fell left, Pill just slipped face first in muddy water. Crack smokes pipes, Pills a hype, someone's perfect daughter, when they reached the top there's a pop, pop, pop, yah Crack he shot her. He needed the money... 01/17/2016

Why the Sword Kills

WHY THE SWORD KILLS
When I give my mother a slap
She remembers the nine months
And years she nurtured me tenaciously.
When I bomb the temple of my religion
She regrets all the spiritual feedings-
And the ideals she showered on me. When I betray a trustworthy friend
The confidential confiding and love, will be remembered
If I betray my nation
The national pledge
I am forever indebted.

Premium Member Avoidance Attachment Kills Relationships

The sadness inside me clings to me like glue
I saw the love
I felt it
I saw the detachment
I felt it
I saw the avoidance
I felt it
but I love her
She felt it
It hurts to see it sabotage 
Love
To be swiped away like a teardrop falling down
Splinter fragments of Love 
Painfully Piercing my soul
A slow death comes to me
As without love
I am no more 
Blackness absorbs my soul

Premium Member Flying Ace Kills It

Snoopy was slamming through the skies
At top speed, stealthier than the other fliers
Flying ace of the year, he assured anyone who would listen
Tweety bird sat in the co-pilot seat, knowing he’d best be quiet
They looped and whorled and rat-a-tatted the enemy
Guns blazing, fierce and untouched.
Sixty-two bullet holes, and they were unscathed.
Snoopy stretched his hand out and knocked over his water bottle.

Sleeping Kills

I fight but I fail,
I’m tortured from within. 
I bite at my nails,
and slash through my skin. 

I have to bleed,
and watch as it drains. 
The evil seed,
Growing through my veins. 

It won’t cease,
Till it chokes my heart.  
I’m a masterpiece,
Of the devils art.

I am a slave,
chained to my plight.
I lay in my grave,
and die every night.

I keep bending,
waiting to break. 
I keep pretending,
It’s gone when I awake.
