Subtly

naked upon the platter...

No work
Makes poor platter
Fallen house no shelter
And for want of nail a war lost!
Equal must!...

On regret's silver platter
Sinister outcomes,
To weave the dreams of your fate
Be stronger than your nightmares...

a tired mind,
melted into goo
upon a platter.

Limp butter-soaked
biscuit,
no longer warm.

cheese brulee  oatcakes

words of woes warring on the platter of mire
painted on my colour by mouth that burns with unjust fire
injustice, neocolonialism and inequality soaked in lies...

and a rear end as flat as a platter,
she went to the store,
cant take it anymore,
Depends now makes her rear appear fatter....

Oatmeal cookies green and red;
Chocolate bon-bons,
Cocoa blanket on smores bed
All candy cane striped

Long nights upon us
tree rodents gather nuts shed.
Swollen limbs naked,
the hungry ground has it all
laid out on a soiled platter.

Have Bunch At Lunch On To Munch

What I wanted to have was a bunch,
Of cheese and crackers in my lunch;
On a platter;
There scatter;
Chew a while and munch and munch.

On a silver platter
 of broken dreams

Your nature changes,
as death comes near

The buffet wanton,
a dessert of fright

Served incarnate
—café of tears

If for once you win this wonderful world
Don’t build your pride on the platter of pounds
And don’t plant your glory on the ground of glory
Like a feathered flower, they will one day fade and fall...

Hyenas are really no laughing matter
In fact they're scavengers, if you see one, scatter
They'll bite your bum
Their dinner you'll become
Unceremoniously, don't need a silver platter...

Poo Poo Platter

Five dogs in a yard is a tight fit
when you’re bending over to scoop it
the gag reflex triggered
much sooner than figured
thus adding a lunch to the poo pit

The green bodied soul 
of a majestic Bahama Parrot
soaring in the airspace 
like a shooting star
nesting among the Abaconian pines
feasting on a fresh platter 
of wild guava and pigeon berries
for a lifetime !...

Scurry scurry, Skitter scatter
Tick tick tick 
He found the cheese platter
Resting on jean
Metal in the air 
Riding down Beach
Wind in his fur
He has no jacket
Nothing like that
Because he’s a tiny 
Little white rat...

A smile on a plate
Is worth more on your face
While descending stairs,
You carried your emotions on a platter
To be delivered in the arch of my bedroom door
And scented sweets filled the room
As you left me to hold
Your smile on a plate...

No matter I just couldn't make it rise
Finally what's important is the prize,
It does really matter
To serve it on a platter
And swell it up to twice its normal size!

No one ever gets freedom on a platter of gold...

Without a fight, indoctrination may continue for

Another generation, convincing and bold..

Till a people fade with time, clanging to memories of before..

If i gave you my heart on a platter
Would you hold it with tinderness
Or smash it with a hammer

Do I know allready
Or just take a chance
A cold heart will never romance

So I entrust my heart, with yours to dance
That light and love
May forever romance...
