Friday night's main event

Subtle tee preferred the company of those in sweet repose 
His presence needless to say, an easiness would impose
We tried to engage him but this seemed to enrage him 
So we settled for making him the subject of  this prose.

Premium Member Neo Noir Cat and Mouse

Yesterday, it was the tortoise and the hare. 
Today, another unlikely pair -
an alley cat, a stolen car,
and a mouse on the lam who wouldn't get far - 
two double crossers, one prayer, "God willing,
all I ask, 'a drive-by killing'".

Noir Cygnus

One of two, not yet perfect
Angry for the intrusion
Envious of your insight
Never will see it again
I think you're brilliant
I finally did
I already knew
Afraid of the point of view
Wondered when you would make mine
I've seen what you've done

Falls Into Noir

Find me
In the middle
Where
The light
Meets
The dark
Find me
In the few seconds
Before the eclipse
Falls into
Total
Noir
The single moment
When
The moon
And
The sun
Are one
Hands toward
The light
Our footsteps
Echoing
Into the silence

They had to operate
remove the one
and from the other
take a nugget.
Later in the hall
they said they got it all.
They said how well
she’d be with rest.
Her first night home,
as we prepared for bed,
she turned to show me.
In my mind the cinema of fleet
but fecund years
ran through another time.

Vintage Noir

All the people stop and stare,
they don't care, they don't mind the street-lights. 

Bumpers kiss, fenders bend, I saw her grin, when she saw them glance again.

Black skin, with the wild hair, ripped denim laminated on her derrière. 

Leather in the summer, ask her if she cares, all the people stop and stare.

Black vintage with the wild hair.

Premium Member Samba Noir

Nether and far, darkness among stars
A painless realm daunting hidden charm
Neutrons and Adams, the beginning
Above the heavens, gods even sinning

Crimes of the universe
Negatives and positives
Black holes letting the evil escape
Crippling this world with 

Left over hate

Tears overwhelm	
		And saturate


Ubiquitous whims
	In rhythm sings
		At fates door	
			No more

Film Noir

under the moon and murky alleyways
i roam with rats the mean and rain-slicked streets
a private eye, taking whatever pays
i search for her, whose husbands bloody sheets...
paid me to find her and his rich receipts

with-in the fog was smoke like fog in air
from her short cigarette and sinful glare
the light from lamp poles blinked; our bullets blew
a man was dead from our brief love affair
and briefly bullets both inside us grew

From Noir To Blanche

From Noir to Blanche

The lovely daisies closed my eyes
I dreamt of angels in disguise
Who walked upon my mortal land
Dressed only in their black and gray
The somber clothing very bland

They gathered flowers as they passed
Then tossed them in the summer air
As they alit  bright colors beamed
The daisies turned my eyes to green
Their clothing white to end the dream

Hope Noir

Dark thoughts, running around my head Tortured soul, wishing it was dead Not knowing how she truly feels Wounds she caused, will they heal? Death of me, would be an easy option Noose, or blade? Or drugs of some concoction? No! I can’t, my faith won’t let me! Hope still lives, together, myself and she? Patience, a virtue, I wish to know! So this seed I’ll plant, and watch it grow. What will it be? I’ll wait and see!
