Therapy

Pull the shades
Dim the lights
Hear the snores
No response
Just the crickets
My art dulls you? 
It's my therapy


Screams

Broken silence,
Bombs exploded,
Choppers landing

Response (3)

From life I begged poetry! 
She answered with a knife,
Hard into my breast, plunged hilt-high,
Aware I wear no metal vest!

Premium Member Written in Response to Pensive Solitude on The Eve of This Night Revisited

An outcast this night,
I mournfully sigh with gloom:
but, I make war, fight!
to defeat my rising doom,
and defend my haunted tomb.

relativity
evokes response
heart yet equanimous 

the witness is desireless 
in, within but not of
dance of illusions

My mind gives lots of louds

And doesn't response in sentences.
Maybe that's why, 
I feel the need to climb on fences.
Even though I later bleed, 
my colored sheets.

Backwards Reality

The only sane response
Is chainsmoking
Drinking gallons of coffee
Listening to album after album
Time drags on
In this backwards reality

Sorry

I failed to fulfill your wish
Wasn’t capable of it,
Was the fact but tried to coat it.
Response is meaningless
If the answer was sorry.

So Sings My Soul

So my soul sings
Sacred song of love
Hoping against odds
To get a response
From the gallery of beauties
But the sun never rose
That day!

Anxious Moments

anxious moments...
a silent phone
beside ticking clock

smiling face
with quick response...
a known ringtone

Premium Member God asks us

those who have been to us callous
what toward them is our response 
do ripples scar our void-like stance
is compassion held in love’s sconce

RESPONSE

Is it to be just a shrug
A mumbled ‘Whatever’
Eyes rolling upward
Or maybe that spark
With an engaging smile
And a happy ‘Yes’

His phone was set on silent mode
When he tried to quickly up-load
There was no response
So, he grabs a croissant
Then fixed it by changing the code
