  moonlight rises zombies
   evil road exceeds
detache bodies 
no lawyers doctors just a nobody

Waving at October...!
welcome the rain,
watching leaves flying to die.
Between colours and cold,
new changes to breath

Love

What is love? Is it loving? Is it making love? Is it feeling? No, it's simply being.





Picnic by Jimmy Boom Semtex

Reasons

Up, down
Keeping my stairs
Please hide my sad eyes now
Take it like a man would take it
Only I can decipher the reasons

Puppies

Puppies
Playful, awkward
Spirited energy
Clumsy fur balls to cuddle with
Hazard vest is highly recommended


The Unseen Monster

Everything is blur.
I stand up to see
and find a monster.
I try to touch and It moves with me
It's a mirror, oh it's me.

A pang of sadness
for the old magnolia tree
cut down and paved over
to create a parking lot
behind the new beauty salon.

Higher Affliction

Beneath,
Moving higher,
Upset and distressed now,
Lapsed into disturbed sleep or grief,
Afflicted with uneasiness for you.

Look,exquisite white blossom,
bathing in the sun-
the scents of Spring,cross my path,
a magnolia blossoms
a sunlit bouquet

They are just daydreams you say.
But what if daydreams come true?
Can we merely discount them?
Would this be the thing to do?

The sorrows of hell

that befell the God/man, Jesus
as he bore the sins of mankind
to where they belonged.

Sleep

Sighing, tossing, turning,
Losing temper fast,
Eyes so tired they're burning...
Eventually (at last)
Prolific snores will blast!

Awake

Your eyes open gently
I wait to hear a sound 
you say something softly 
your feet hit the ground
I try to ask but your not around

Black Soul

Be mine,
Always need me,
Turn my world upside down,
Please save my immortality,
For my heart's fractures makes my soul turn black.

Premium Member Poetically Pink

Freedom is the colour pink
that I can now display
after horrible shades of grey
that led my world astray,
Poetically pink in sync.

Mother, You Are My Heart

mother you are my heart my greatest love and joy just like the wind you enter the chambers, of my soul.

As a Dry Leaf

As fallen dry leaf
 by the wind was swept away,
  that's how I took my life...
  all love and all the time,
  with all me inside...!

Make a Wish

Better health eludes me.
I tremor daily and fall.
Needing help now I foresee.
Pray now, and then stand tall.

Written 7 - 10 - 2016.

Little Things

The things that you say, 
The things that you do, 
Everything has to go your way,
Everything came unglued
But i know you miss me too.
