Innocence Lost

Her innocence lost,
Shattered and shamed, scared alone.
Picked up the pieces;
She waited for the sentence.
Forty-eight months, not enough!

Admiring a Secret

Admiring the woman you love isn't a secret; The secret only admires shamed hearts and supplies courage to love the one who's a secret.

Anti-Baptism

At 11:05 the torrent came,
its current tainted,
its waters shamed

At 11:06 direction changed,
intention drowning
—redemption stained

Land of the Sheep

Tombstone enscriptions 
Mindless descriptions
Conformity asked
Corruption masked
My Curiosity Tamed
Independance shamed
Always the same problems
No ways to solves solve them

Premium Member Lithe As a Fairy

Eating sensibly is the name of the game No more gorging, that's not good for our frame Getting lithe as a fairy Singing like a canary Happy as poop I'm no longer shamed

Angst

The moon rises behind a tree
As if shamed by her slow pace
Up that celestial hill. 

I call her into question 
If only to avoid 
My own troubled thoughts. 

Man shakes his fist at the universe.

Fame Or Infamy

The best thing of all …
 a memory treasured
The worst thing of all …
a memory shamed
Blessing the one
cursing the other
To live on beyond us
— in praise or blame

Those Quiet Damned

From Lederhosen
  a monster chosen

Whose Reich is damned
 —gas slaughtered lambs

The eagle rises
  truth despises

A country shamed
 —those quiet blamed

To Sagittarius

The Archer: branded in the skies
With fading beauty and mind’s rust,
Yet the light is far; the route unwise.

I climb on hope; cracked rungs hold true
But winds whip me into hurt dust—
Shamed! I rise to start my climb anew.

Dissonance

restless heart in need of flight
the time is drawing near
future bliss within his sight
in the present lives his fear

what he has and what he needs
inhabit different pages
conscience shamed by guilty deeds
such sin has costly wages

bluer than heaven


               nature shamed sky to paint you ...


       with such a proud brush

Premium Member It's Back

Bare back
Sweet dermal fells
Sublime landscape, rare traveled
Olympus, shamed soft, shapely, supple
Tender esses slide to warmer, wilder climes
Delightfully dimpled, seductively swayed
From tresses to recesses ...
Succulent.

I Forgive Me

So much guilt.
So many acts that shamed,
making me feel worthless.
Empty, but for Hope.
Yet, what use be this hope
if I had not learned to forgive me?
Crying increasingly
‘cause pain, coursed through me.

Here, in this moment
I forgive me.

That Horse

Every scepter, every throne,
reverts again anew

The god’s, their will divided,
in Iliads of truth

All wars of good intention,
paved avenues to hell

Honor shamed by Zeus renamed
—that horse where judgment dwells

Premium Member autumn revelry

their seasonal fling leaves little imagining ~ passion's bits abound naked, shamed, consigned to wait, redeeming spring, yet far off…

Aftertaste

That targeted sleep will not come
at once
in the tamed night.

A shifted pain
lifts the irretrievable word
shamed at edge.

The godwings
weave the rhyme of flight
for the wedding of death.

You are born again
in sleep
for  another journey.

In days of old
Those poets bold
Would peek at
A thesaurus

When slyly shamed
Sadly exclaimed
They did it so the words
Won’t bore us

And yet it seems
The best of schemes
Is viewed by some
As witchery

Yet those who do
Are tired too
Of listening to 
Such .itchery

Birdie

no birdie with a yellow bill
hopped upon my window sill nor
could he see me blinds were drawn the
window shut on day's cold dawn and
no cocked and shining eye gleamed thru
the glass and on I dreamed while passed
the time and I not shamed by sloth
prefer my birdies cooked in broth

Speak of The

The devil couldn't move my idle hands
Floating between him and the sea deepest blue
due to be given
shamed by truth
Devil in car note
drives the needs must
detailed
Get thee beside me
Don't advocate
devil owned
lucky you raised me
What time was he the devil of
better
you know

Outstayed His Welcome

Suddenly Mister Winter
Has let go of his grip.
He could not stand it here
So he abandoned the ship.
Shamed faced he snuck away
Never to be seen again.
He realized this year
He had no one as his friend.


We had a miserable winter this year. I wrote this when the winter was through.

I Have Lived

I have crawled
I have run
I have laughed
I have cried
I have given
I have taken
I have loved
I have hated
I have lost
I have gained
I have blamed
I have shamed
I have listened
I have heard
I have trusted
I have lied
I have suffered
I have aged
I have noticed
I have changed.
