Premium Member Whet Appetite

Whet my keen appetite?
Yes, you have - for revenge
against my long standing,
wry, furry nemesis.
He's not wet...
yet.  Blast a
water jet!
Get that scamp
to regret.

Premium Member Saturate

Let me take you by your hand, lead us to our ending.
A place where we can embrace, released from company.
Where our DNA would saturate, slowly mixed together.
A reaction worth reacting to, long-standing urgency.

A Watery Grave

I Shall not kneel...Beyond the depths
 Of the tears... Long since have fallen...
 Nor shall I gather... Again amongst them..
 'Less their untimely stage of demise... 
Binds the hands of space and time..
 And I ripen into a single grain of salt..
 Amidst their long standing...Watery grave...

Puddle

In a world of rain and puddles formed by our tears.. 
We find a miracle. 
Our compassion reflects the sky of God's creation.
Sometimes over-cast, sometimes azure blue. 
Sometimes the rainbow of a long-standing hope. 
The faithful promise of a brighter tomorrow.

Constipation

Constipation!
Such consternation
A work in progress
So much left unsaid…
Fragments of angst
Long standing wiles
With nothing but cold tiles

But when it works
All progress is swift
Everything said, comprehension is clear
Tension is freed and
All qualms ignored
Bodily function is restored
Lambs flinging about in joy
Hallelujah!

The whisper of the long verdant grasses

Once claimed to the Kingdom that the orthodoxy came not with a roar but a whimper, solidarity foregone, ego long-standing like iron-rich water from ancient bloodshed. Through the ploughed fields sent shivers askance the serpent, like shady cathedrals built on an edifice of scales, primed the true course of the whispering grasses, long abated and trounced in that stance.

Webs

Webs were in the corners of ever room, laying host to the abandoned chambers that fell in the shadows of permanent decay. Long-standing remained the feast of unwanted affection that stained each walll into the submission of a now collapsing house, brought to ruin from what was absent in those painful hours of grief and rejection, that did nothing more but slowly take away my sanity.

The Greatness of a Country

The greatness of a country 
lies in its fortified unity:
one soul, one mind, one ideal;
woe to him if truth
does not honor his promised words,
they'll strip his title of all
dignity and pride...
many before him have sworn 
an oath of true infamy.

He salutes his flag
in a military pose;
silence fills the hall,
the voters give him
a long standing ovation:
he's their President.
