Short Seeped Poems

The voltage seeped with a screw loose so she rocked gently in the old chair and lived...

The sun seeped succulent honey
And warmth whilst she 
Touched herself to the thoughts
Of all the possible things 
She could achieve....

Quickly fading
Deeper and deeper
It fell out of my grasp
Seeped through my fingers
Unable to keep it
I arrogantly lost it
Saddest of all
I didn't realize it was gone...

Have you seen it
I must have set it somewhere
Maybe it seeped outta my ears
And it's drizzled all around

Don't use it
You'll torture yourself
It's all stressed out
Oh yea, it has some filth...

I know there's a spark of God within me,
but it doesn't feel right to pray to that.
Seeped, I am,  in  cultural beliefs.
It will always be
Our Father, which art in Heaven.

just me
playing with poetry....

What if a ghost loves
me and using its powers 
to keep boys away...

That would explain a 
Lot. Does that sound childish? We're
seeped in illusion.

I spend all my school
days with the inhabitants
of a virtual realm....

Love is
my new drug
it
seeped inside
my blood
and
permeated
my lungs
now
I'm all
thumbs
and 
can't feel
my tounge 
Should
I be
catching doves
or
running through 
the slums
alit 
and all abuzz?

stethoscope ends
emerged from ears,
lady vet’s task
then grimly done—
take your time here,
offered her aide
while tears seeped up
as faithful dog,
grown feebly-old,
lay still, inert,
after last breath:
	sad, lonely choice,
		my only one....

above the metronomic constant dripping of a tap

and the deep and heavy ticking of an old grandfather clock

sounds seeped through a window where the night air found a gap:

a cough!

 - then silence. 

..then a key inside a lock....

Dusk settled on light green trees
Timid mongoose peeped
Padded feet in the alley
Cool breeze thru leaves seeped
 It started to feast
On old canned fish and stale meat
Stars twinkles in east

There’s a song of yours I really like
A metal power ballad
Discordant and seeped in yearning
It‘s best with headphones on
So loud I can hardly taste my gum
I let each line reverberate through my skull
As many times as it takes
To shake your memory loose...

Listen to poem:

The force that filled this sail
blew dust off crest of desert dunes
howled sighs in forest tree-trunk array
whistled a tune in rampart rafters
lulled a wheat field to shimmery shivers
chilled bones to curdle 'n crack
tired,
seeped out a crack, 
and blew away....

There were nights 
I was convinced the weather
in my head had seeped 
out of my ears and
dyed the atmosphere. 
Snow would cascade
over darkness, 
land on streaked cheeks. 

Now there are nights 
I realize even clouds
have to let go of that 
which makes them dense....

The florid footprints of hussies
seeped upon the black rug.
The florid heart of a saint crippled at the
fallow door.
The laughter of a sober count guised the howl
Of a callous whore.
count,
Composed a strangely shaped finger,
count your curses, ---
And Death was the raincoat I wore....

.           hidden in ruins
buried deep
		yet
emotions seeped

funeral will close the casket
	wounds

  opened up

							tears never to evaporate

love dries on the clothesline

		Mount Royal


a lingering photo

   train stations then
                   cemeteries now...

She wore uncertainty on her shoulder
    hesitation held back her shoes
  Twitches split her left forearm
    these emotions seeped into their news

  Let him explain, she considered
    nerves of steel need not preparation...
  In the pit of a parental boardroom
    one word ~ eloped ~ sealed their doom...

How did you stay
Day after day
With the stench of death
Taken in with each breath

When the mud seeped in
Like cold porridge knee deep again
And the guns never stopped
Then over the bags you’d hop

This went on for years
You had to temper your fears
How did you stay
Day after day.

The sky was black and bloated
   no moonlight stealing through

This night was seeped in eerie calm
   no silent breezes blew

The fog crawled slow and lazy
   with wispy crooked fingers

The void was deep and dark
   the kind that creeps and lingers

You better stay inside
   if you feel the need to hide....

lips like waves
wielded wounds wave
callous curls hewn
by dark dews
taunted torrent puke
per punctured prune

crazed coziness cluster
felon fondlings fostered
rustic reels registered

heaven's eyes seeped
dripping damped weaves
locked liquid lease

such sassy trend
carved emotions' crest.

Chubby cheeks,
with red dumplings,
a chin having,
a deep adorable sink,
with wide blue eyes,
having a naughty twink,
his golden locks,
were soft,
and plenty,
his baby fragrance,
I used to inhale deep,
as in my lap,
he used to sleep,
its only when,
he stirred,
burped,
and crapped,
that his innocent helpless,
beauty,
in fact seeped....

no strings that held you to me
nothing that tied you here
just the pounding of my heart
resonating in my ears

the circle that forms around you
I've now stepped away from
moving left of your center
out of your peripheral zone

that blood red line you drew
traced from a heart that seeped
a fortress to be rebuilt
as love makes it's retreat...

eerie ensconced eyes
salient spooky sight
kinetic kindled flames
bounty blazing brace
gigantesque gaunt gulp
taunted tunnel; induct

scrunched seeped smile
dripping damped drive
hoisted feelings survived

callous covertures creates
brain's busty ballet
sane senses strays

moistened mystic memories
damped dull dwindling.

The rain came dripping downward
Soaking me little by little
Wet seeped in and the skin chilled
goosebumps formed upon my arms
The hair resembled a drowned animal
wet, tangled a tumbling mane
Clothes hung like a second skin
The shoes wet and sloppy
squeaking as you took each step
The rain came dripping downward
Time to get out of the rain.

ink dark darked
sumptuous syllables' spell
dripping dainty deal
nocturnal nature seeped
in fostered felon
wanky wind summoned

hoisted feelings flamed
eerie ember traced
vying lead laced

porous pen bled
gaunt gores' crest
sassy society's defect

pulpy poetry bore
his taunted tour.

moaning myth's mug
bounty blitzkrieg's bug
seeped wanky wits
porous platter splits
dark contractions dribbled
heaving eerie hurdle

ember etched eyes
fuming felon fries
voluptuous visions vie

salient sage smiled
smothering sumptuous strife:
furious fear's heist

drools met doom
courage crushed gloom.
