The Sweet Seduction of Satans Sexual Sin

Images dance of nudity and skin,
Sprawled and spread with legs wide open,
Tempting and sneering with hooks to bring you to hell along with him.

Four Leaf Clovers

I sat there for hours

Sprawled out on a carpet of green

Searching for a four leaf clover

NO LUCK!

Insomniac

Nestled justly,
the thief he slumbers
sprawled spreadeagled 
upon my bed.
By witching hour
his deafening snore
drives one to ...

Lumbering lethargy.

Mama Knows Best

My date was sprawled nude on the floor
When cued by her mum through the door,
"You won't need to mop
If you are on top
So choose your position before!"

Hauled

in that
shopping
cart,

tearing the
pavement
with riotous
laughter

even after
those wheels
caught that
crack

sending you
sprawled into
the pickled
night.

I'M Saying Nothin'

“All night lover!” yes, that’s what she said
exhausted, we’re sprawled ‘cross the bed
but by my cellphone, 
twenty minutes had gone
- she was reading the clock upside down

The Tree

Sprawled across the track
it lay like some stranded whale,
the dead tree,
centuries old, finally fallen.

No more summer breeze or winter winds,
Just so much wood to be dismembered,
gross, dead, silent and rotten.

The Vultures

How anger steams the desert sand;
Dead bodies sprawled about the land, 
Beaks tear while cacti grimly stand.

Among the dead he is alive;
Devouring one-two-three-four-five,
Another fall - ten more arrive

When She Turns

Silence so dense it can be felt.
Shatter! Sudden devastation
Sprawled across a cement floor.
Sound reverberating seemingly forever.
Serene peace severed by
Selfish intention.

That's how it feels.

autumn tiptoes

steps in veiled autumn
rose bushes sad crave for warmth
sprawled leaves create art

nature's spree over
glimmering streaks of light spread
on glorious fields

pumpkin patch dazzles
birds end yearly rendezvous 
time to fly back south

signs of autumn


dew pearls crown beige grass
fawn meadow glows dawn’s luster…
Monet canvas sprawled

gilded leaves rustle
fall floating from tawny trees…
garden path on fire

on the blue hills far
silver tinged drifting clouds dance…
autumn charms my muse

Bullets From Heaven

Bullets, they do rain
Down from the heavens
Have no doubt
Their fallen, engraven

With your name 
Sprawled 
Across the casing

Spent shells
Hit the ground
Ring out
Bells in repentence

Teflon coated 
Words of forgiveness 
Piercing the heart
Of those less dead

Mannequin

Dreams leak out of my mannequin head
My twisted plastic limbs are sprawled out on my bed
My expression ever frozen, in a dramatic pose
I'm not biodegradable but I want to decompose
A glue drop on my cheek to emulate a tear
I've been here 10 minutes or maybe 10 years

A Lick Retort

Biting my paws
as my other leg goes
Snufflle turns
to insect hunt
A noise deserves a bark
She moved i have to follow
Turn and turn
Perfect position found
sprawled on ground
Chasing everything in my dream
a whine before
a gentle hand gives comfort
a lick retort

BLUE MOUSE GROUP

BLUE MOUSE GROUP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The blue mouse group wrote through the night, with their tiny nibs and ink, what a sight! They scribbled and scrawled, 'Til on the stairs they sprawled, They collapsed, what a comical fright!

Recalling Instances, Not Days

Recalling Instances, Not Days Written: by Tom Wright 8-30-2019 Time has handicapped my retention, And entire days can’t be recalled. But particular instances inside those days; Still clamor for immediate attention, From my past where they lie sprawled.

Its Not Suicide From a Broken Heart

My heart bleeds
Standing over myself
My heart bleeds
Red pools below 
Like a finger painting gone wrong
Blood everywhere 

Pictures lay out 
Smiling couple sprawled out on the floor
Silent from below
I’m not moving 
I’m alone now in this void 

It’s not suicide from a broken heart

Profound Observations

Stately totems of the proudest tribe,
not as sleek as the evergreen pine...
the blood of the Sioux flows,
the carnage is a terrible loss.

Corps sprawled as harvested corn husks
that grew on prairies beneath huge rocks....
hear the wailing of violated women,
and the loud cry of hungry children.

Sizzling Hot

On a hot summer’s day nearly forty degree,
Ageing couple sprawled under an oak tree,
said she with a shy toothless grin,
“If you really wish I will let you sin”,
“No, my dear” he said “I prefer a cup of tea!”

Electrum

electrum 

on a lovely night
he rode his golden horse
under moon and starlight dust
through fields of lush forest 
conifers, sweet honey and musk
blue jays singing in frenzy
into the first peek of daylight
sprawled, sensually 
a silvery dawn
green gold, electrum

Show Me

i'm craving your touch.
to be without my baby
is to live only half a life.
 
soon arrives the day
where you will come,
and so will i.
 
and we will celebrate your return
sprawled in the lush carpets
of our bedroom fortress.
 
pump me full of love
and show me just how much
you've missed me.

Matthew Wants a New Blanket

the beginning was so bright.
sun rays casting through an open window
and shedding new light.
 
we swam under the cotton sea
and you said it felt like a movie.
we were so deeply in love.
 
with the fabric of us sprawled over your knees,
with a gentle hand smoothing its seams,
everything starts to unravel.

Cat

The bearded lady comfortably sprawled

on several coats and blankets left

haphazardly to where she'd crawled.

Then looking right at me with

utter nonchalance, she

sat and sat and sat. . .

with small goatee

so fluffy.

What a

CAT!

Beauty Transcending

From my window I watched, enthralled
as feathery fliers fell and lay sprawled.
Safe from the heated warmth of me,
a flock of snowflakes in Winter flurry.
Ice crystals afloat, serenely descending.
Each one unique; beauty transcending
