Damage Done

the reversed side of an angle square,
life in tatters beyond repair,
a mothers face full of despair,
at a life thats left by you.

Pen Stains

The pen stains
you wear like badges
scattered tatters across
your khaki JNCO jeans
tell me more than
your irreverent demeanor

May you fly high.

Stammer -Sf

The pulse races,
the mind falters,
the tongue stumbles,
the speech a-jumble.

My wretched stammer
leaves aspirations in tatters.
My heart broken 
by the words unspoken.

Premium Member Metamorphosis

Her life in tatters, torn
like an old pair of clothes, badly worn,
she ignores the ridicule and scorn,
a past she will no longer mourn…
and emerges from the water, reborn.

Hegelian Refraction

Expelled again from cosmic matters
The fool consults his satellite
Eager to shred to tatters
All ambition to fight
Structured tyranny
Rolling over
Civil minds
Without
Fear

Unyielding

What i've woven hardly matters.
With my tapestry in tatters.
Lay in place adorned with shadow.
Await that sunlit meadow.
But the harvest cannot grow,
Without one to make it sow.

We Are All Patriots

We are all patriots  
A man of few words 
Is A Real American 
Bespectacled Emotion 
Soul Firmly In tatters 
I will Not Pretend 
I will Continue 
To Posture 
For What I Believe In

Premium Member In Tatters

Listen to poem:
Life bedraggled.
Clown mask in tatters.
What matters, shattered 
into a myriad
of jumbled pieces.
Nowhere to hide
when you can't
make a laugh
anymore.
Entropy is funny that way.

Premium Member Power To Imagine

elucidate
     or shatter
the non-plussed-
obscure with
aeaninglss phrase,
faded ideas
left in tatters,
the muffled
 mind
once authentic,
now indecisive
banished..
to shelter
in its retreat

Premium Member Hail the Creator

darkness overhead 
       ripple effect goes berserk
        chaos reigns downward 
       surface tension in tatters
          insanity on the pond

Sodom
in tatters
Gomorrah
is ash
L.A. lies
burning
New York

Cowards

Weakness

Our heritage
shattered
With traitors

The Moment Split

Saying no to the Muse
  all sleep deprived

The darkness magic
  —her words decry

Saying no to the Muse
  time splits in half

Before in tatters
  —after the fact

Now listen to me, you young whippersnappers Got decades of experience in all worldly matters Like the theory of relativity Or keeping girlies in captivity Just the thought of it leaves my jockeys in tatters

Keep It Short

Make it short

Soothing rain on slates
Heal nerves torn to tatters
Unforgiving is life.

Rain is decanting
A transparent carpet of silk
Untouchable beauty.

Rain chased by gusts
Mad dance around corners
A day fit for heroes.

The Weight

The weight dragged on,
  too heavy to carry

The weight dragged on,
  memories lost inside

The weight dragged on,
  questions without answers

Reasons in tatters,
 —the weight dragged on

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2013)

We are the matter that matters
      
               Be we - 
         Torn into tatters
         Shattered or scattered
         Soaked and splattered
              No matter

REALISATION

Despite the words, meaning matters
If a message is lost, then time will tell
All spent emotion now lies in tatters
And charm may just be a magic spell
As that sound of euphony shatters
And a heartrate’s racing rhythm fell

Premium Member Unfettered

Fly
leave life’s
unbound web.
Let tatters stream
upon time's wind rise.
Bring sustenance to grow
with wanderers wonder ride.
Upon wind, water, fire or earth
remove the shell, pod, the placenta 
rebirth upon the graves of fettered time.

The Dragon's Fire

The Democrat party,
  all masters and slaves

G.O.P. left in tatters,
  their promises frayed

Haves lie to the have nots
  bright futures a whim

As the dragon’s fire burns
  —the thick with the thin
