Premium Member she tells the story

she tells the story I also heard on the news
most of the facts she spouts are alternative facts
Her version is a better story
embellishment that adds flavor
but also lies

Shadow Tells

The picture on the wall
kites on the electric wire
Broken light
Through the known gaps of trees
The new letter in the old envelope
Shadow on the path of eve
Tells to sing for dark.

Trump Tells Many Jokes

Not only does Trump tell many jokes,
He still tries to fool us friendly folks;
Hard to bare;
Does not care;
Convince others things are all a hoax.

a message to the flower,
when he kissed her...
They are perpetual secrets,
that we will never notice...
except when one day
let's learn from nature
the signs... !

Mother Tells Me

Mum said, "No sex before marriage,
It tarnishes the union’s carriage.”
I’m in her wedding photo,
What happened to her motto?
Why the rain of words that discourage?

This Face Tells a Story

A fascinating journey it's been.
Reciprocal peaks and valleys.
Worry lines,laugh lines also
tell the world my story
that I've come this far.
Darkness and light;

own.

extend
her hands
through
knowledge and wisdom
throughout
the land

pull lightning 
from the storm

how to see
with
fresh eyes
what
truth understands
what
truth
tells every man

Rigoletto Tells All

Joyful memories carve
a forever-space in time.
Impermanence clips at our heels
with Luciano and Beverly's last songs.
Complacency gnaws at our life-rope
as wild strawberries
go unnoticed,
until the rope snaps
and we hear the cries of Rigoletto
ringing in our ears.

The Narrator Tells the Story

The narrator tells the story 
And everyone gives their attention 
They are listening accordingly 
In order to understand the situation 
Today's youth are encouraged 
To get a valuable education 
In order to become a leader tomorrow 
And step forward in a positive direction

Everyone Tells a Story

Everyone tells a story 

Few are boring as hell
Few make me jump in joy

Few make me bite my nail

Few let me crouch in corner

Few make me wince in pain

But all are unique

It’s an art

As I am crazy listener,

I travel along the story  

And love to carve it delicately in my heart ??

Each Scar Tells a Story

each borderline mirror,
broken fragments,
an open edge,

each missed edge,
every cut of missed intent
calls for hands of glass

sharp for loss, for splinters,
broken pictures and edges that
form a skin of red hills

that shapes and bleeds and
cries a trail of doors and loss
and all of this and less

tells a story

Dead Man Tells No Tale

17-05-2017

They say dead man tells no tale but I say he does
He's like an artist who picks up the mike
And sings any song he like
He's six feet under but his voice
Tells a tale he's written
Just listen attentively to what he says sadness and rapture
Reflects all over his picture
Because dead man does tell tales if chance given

Everybody tells me I got a beautiful sun tan

Everybody tells me I got a beautiful sun tan
Finally
Because I spent couple days
In the sun
Before my sun tan
My skin was white and pale
Looking like cottage cheese
That was awful
I must say
I like my sun tan
Very much
Also now that is summer
I spend a lot of time in the
Boardwalk
I came to the boardwalk
Every day
First thing in the morning
