Spilling Thoughts

Spilling thoughts on white paper
seemed so easy but just mistaken
Painting words with craft unshaken
takes time like building a skyscraper.

The finest siren
To have tread the fairest acres
At the height of skyscraper
She ascends
autonomous and replete
fashioning the ashes
that compose the minutes
that we have loved and lost

Skyscraper

I emit pressure from freedom tall my gift given since away with stale sands and truth. because instead methods useful I forget just life is enough, forgive it, I am beyond a careful beginner.

Skyscraper - the Raindrops

Skyscraper: 

The raindrops 
Falling over my bed,
Upon the eaves of my bedroom roof,
Sound like an army of cat paws treading lightly
Lest they disturb some troublesome foe,
When all I can think of
Is the rain.

Skyscraper - In My Dream

Skyscraper:

In my dream,
The snow lay round about,
Showing clear signs of melting decay
As if light rain had fallen on it recently,
And my eyes could hardly fail to see 
The head of a dead man,
A brave Ukrainian, 
Murdered there.

Skyscraper

high rise
get high rays
and wetter 
on wet days
closer 
to aeroplanes
in lanes like cars 
soldiers of concrete
steel feet in wars
in pillars 
like Lot’s wife
or muggers
with sharp knife
hanging in blocks
or flocks 
stabbing the sky

Premium Member Third Eye a Skyscraper

Ajna’s layered rows
Having several floors
Beginning between eyebrows
Guru above showing the door ...
to the Sahasrara ...
conjoined with the Anahata
A domain of love spacial
Embrace uncaring of stigma 
Tranquil joy & peace radial

Kung Fu Proverbs

Bird in hand will fly away
Catch a fish and eat today

The body is a temple, a house for the soul
A clean heart turns dust into gold

Grasshopper learn how to walk on rice paper
Bend like bamboo tree and jump over skyscraper

God never let you walk alone

Sunset

sunset by the bay
        shifting colors in the sky

Premium Member Cloudy With a Chance of Stories

the tortoise-shaped cloud
as tall as a skyscraper 
and a half as wide
floats slowly across blue sky
with no hare-shaped cloud to race

patchy cloudy sky
with shapely stories to tell
hare-brained ideas 
and the tortoise will always
slowly and steadily win

Leaping

Skyscraper,
skyshaper, 
skysharper... 

Don't mind the fall of ascending
for its gravity does the work for you.

A passageway to this wind tunnel is open now,
yet the recoil is still undone.

Leave the rest to the high-rise end,
and embrace your bound to the above.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ steel veins pulse below concrete swallows fading light pigeons claim the ledge sirens stitch the dark neon spills on wet pavement dreams queue for the bus windows hold the dawn a thousand lives unfold silent, side by side

In the Solace of Home

To distant places I have been
Enormous cities I have seen
With diverse cultures and wonderful sights
Skyscraper structures with amazing lights

I may seem enchanted by what I see
But still with my country I long to be
In the solace of home where family is
With the love of a family I find much bliss

Premium Member One Tree Stands Alone

Sentinel amid the dunes, watching, waiting, thriving, a bird tower standing tall upon unending sands that, roll out their own roadways. A green skyscraper in the distance; horizon dot, between two realms. Courageous bastion of wisdom... a tree, stands alone; testament to Nature’s fortitude.

Grown

Dont need footsteps to follow cause baby ill make my own, and I know these words are hard for you to swallow but this is the road I'm taking, dont need your help I'm no ones little girl, ill be a skyscraper standing on my own. No matter how the cuts and bruises feel its the fall that's taken the thing that helps you deal its all become real.

Skyscraper and Arrogance of the Man the Way You Build Higher

The skyscraper,
climbs to the sky,
solemn...upright
by human
imitation
God's...
undaunted
The man
feels
absolute Sir of the world...
the skyscraper,
falls from the sky,
as an icon
of concrete,
fallen angel...
from its fall
the vain
human,
proud
still...guilt
the simple
clipboard...
not his
prepotency...!
and arrogance...!

Pride and Arrogance

The skyscraper,
soar into the sky,
solemn ... erected
by human
imitation
God's...
Undaunted
The man
feels
 infallible,
Mr
of the world...
The skyscraper,
falls from the sky,
like icon
of concrete,
fallen angel ...
Of its fall
the vain
human,
proud
still ... guilt
the simple
clipboard...
not his vainglory
and arrogance ...!

Premium Member Dark Driver of a Fast Car--

Hot, smokey cars calmly grab and old, fast car. Where is the dusty roads? The sun flower loudly fights the rain; O, exhaustion! The rain runs like a hot skyscraper Varooom... Fast, misty guys calmly desire a big, dark driver; Death, exhaustion, and anger; va varoom zoom

Concrete Dreams

Counterfeit smiles
Insipid hellos
Crossing paths
Destination known
Nobody has names
Just competing clothes
Glaring past glances
A forlorn flow
Stumbling off sidewalk
Onto crumbling street
Yet another sidewalk
Heads without feet
Lost to crowds
Blanched in between
Ponderous pedestrians
Rising steam
Tethered tomorrows
Skyscraper seams
Falling faces
Concrete dreams

Premium Member Thoughts of the Empire State Building

They talk about me in Cincinnati and Kalamazoo
In Texas, Idaho, Wyoming, Russia and Timbuktu.
They like my photos but few travel to New York City.
Where the Broadway shows are spectacular and witty.

A skyscraper, what is that? Asks a child from Chad.
I’m the Empire State Building, beautiful and bad.
Decorated each December in lights of green and red.
Come to New York City, see me, and get amply fed.

The tall pillarized building
Cold, concrete, dictating
Attacked the sky
Making it packed, broken, hurt, scarred
Blocking those lovely clouds and rainbow
The tall pillarized building
Cold, concrete, dictating
Captured modernized hearts
Making them a slave inside
From nine to five
The tall pillarized building
Cold, concrete, dictating
Formed a towering hazard
To the inquisitive patrolling eyes 
Of the nature - lovers
Making them temporary blind

The Heat of the Cold

The Heat of the Cold

early in the morning of that scary day
the heat and the cold
made the Sun delay
behold
a little piece of snow began to disappear
because of the heat
that revealed itself a little near
to meet
causing a visible smoke
vapor
that began to provoke
they sky
and the skyscraper
so high
birds making some sound
frogs
jump arround
dogs'
show joy
their keeper smile
yes, they enjoy
the heat and the cold style.

Prejudice

We have just agreed on paper:
He is to us all  'A leper'
Still leper with his skyscraper,
No less so with his nice wrapper...

Oh Yes! For him some saved pepper,
Bertram T. Noah cause to caper,
For blokes he'd kept at a distance;
Persons elsewhere 'Revered Substance'
We're all clearly turning fiends, 
Who had been his supportive friends,
At the bottom of it all pride,
As options began to be wide...

More visits to us for new shape
We have blades that leprosy scrape.
