screaming kids fighting...

Pounded her into powder cake
But her eyes kept looking on...

Moon’s solitude
                        Pounded beam of light
                     Fallen in a pond of night...

red white and blue were in season
the month of July
pounded like a drumbeat...

with her efforts must persist

by his wife....

....................Slumber 
 
Some big seas roll in
the breakwater is pounded
fishing boats at rest

In the abbey lived Friar McFunk,
Who pounded piano while drunk,  
But to pay for his rye,
Was caught robbing the tythe,
Now they call him Felonious Monk....

There once was a bold picidae*
Who pounded his beak just for play
on a double-decker
bus, now his pecker
resembles a flawed fricassee

A body
Seen
A body
Touched
A body
Explored
Or dipped into
A body
Watched
A body
Lean
A body
Pounded
And swam into 
Nobody
Any body
Reflects 
Everybody...

He pounded the pavement feeling crummy
his job outlook not very sunny
then he saw a sign
help wanted come inside
becoming a crash test mummy dummy.

Senses surrounded
her pulse raced, heart pounded
slashing through stands of fescue.
She let out a cry,
then from on high,
her dragonfly came to her rescue.

There once was a man named Little Jack Little.
Who sure could play a mean little fiddle,
He played with big Bix Morgan,
Who pounded his upright organ,
While eating pancakes from the griddle....

From very far away heard the death.
Each word pounded against silence
Withered breaths of mine panicked
Reality forced a
whisper in the ear,
faded were gone.
Rush to the
time-stamped
Peace....

She held him without reservation
His breathing calmed,
Her heart pounded and
softly she said, "I wanna know you."
and he said "You will."

And now that it's over
she got what she wished for....

My heart pounded, as we held each other for the first time


          Your tender caresses make each day a new adventure in love


    Two hearts bound together, we alone can share these moments....

I want to go to the sea 
Let the water wash over me
Be pounded by the waves
Opening my mouth
So the salt I will taste
Wish for the drowning
to bring this life to a end
So that I will never
Have to drown again....

In the stillness of the cloudless night
One heart is pounded without mercy
An invisible arrow darted with a light 
Enrapturing senses without clemency

heaven's the promise

               words driven deep hold you fast

     pounded with the claw

The sun 
is holding 
the bushes

Why my
heart pounded 
I understand now

It was a 
remembrance of 
the bouquet you 
offered me 
that morning, 
long ago

The cave 
is dark
Yet when 
you look 
deep into 
diamonds sparkle...

music laced  
             like fine silk ribbons. 

     voice purred, 
         eyes wandered, 
             heart pounded. 

     hungered 
         places 
              perfume touched,

      desired to kiss.

Jesus was a carpenter, 
he worked with saw and hammer. 
He pounded, banged, for 20 years, 
it was an awful clamor. 
Then he spent three years a'preachin', 
he never had a stammer.
At last they nailed him to a cross, 
nevermore to yammer....

Gravity leaps
Flood of merchants across borders
Meddle with shoelaces-
Government ties a baker's dozen
As a secure future treds 

But lightly outbursting pounded
Chest metal shed, I grew tall
Seeing it all unfold
While wandering feet back across borders sped...

1.
Unfortunate for him
Without payment
The mortician feels
That he got stiffed

2.
He felt there was no spark
Left between them
So the electrician went out
And got buzzed

3.
Being alone another night
The butcher stayed home 
And pounded his meat...

Let this be a reminder of 
How you pounded your incestuous breath
On my lips
Hands clinched to my hips
As you force fed me 
Your spoiled milk
Scared from the threats you made
I played possum
As you played your dirty tricks on me
I forgive you
But Karma is a *****!...

I danced through the night
To the rhythm of my heartbeat, 
The drums pounded out a lively cadence.
The drums shattered, 
Red shards covering the floor.

If all the king's horses
And all the kings men
Cannot put me together again,
Then these drums will beat 
No more....
