Premium Member A First -- a Movie Review Poem

I've just watched a movie 
          titled 'Hearts Down Under'

       To savor such dumbed-down fare
          one's brain need be torn asunder


Premium Member Gifts of the Season

gifts of the season
  magic and wonder
enchantment, delight

renewal, restoration
  of hopes torn asunder
holy blessings of peace
  on Christmas night

Bruised

Intoxicated and full of mirth
so naive and carefree.
Unfurled itself 
in the breeze that seemed spring.
Dreadfully dispersed and torn asunder. 
Wounds adorn its bosom now;
bruised and deformed
it waits for the Dusk.

Premium Member The Altar Weeps

Hearts torn asunder
    the altar of love weeps
  into mankind's service
    Venom slinking, seeps

  O, calm, reign supreme
    peace, into the home stream
  voices raised, rising, all is lost
    Rancor's chorus exacts its cost

Premium Member Lost For Words

What words can I say,
To convey
The depths of my emotion.
How can I express
The happiness
I feel for your devotion.

What would I do,
Without you,
I often wonder
My heart would ache
The earth would shake.
My life would be torn asunder.

Abyss

black liquid
sliver covers
a heart ripped asunder
cruel thoughts plunder 
the abyss stretches before me
all things are known 
but unseen 
black chrome covers my heart 
torn asunder 
black liquid covers
sliver are my thoughts fall 
the Abyss is in silence
Form: Rhyme

Just a Little

I am the egg always breaking
I am the quivering thigh always shaking
I am the hourglass forever lacking reciprocation  
I am the quiet mind forever in meditation
I am the child always in wonder
I am the blanket torn asunder
I am perfection destined to blunder

Premium Member Dear Ant

I know your fastest movement
You're social; you live in groups
In hard work your time you spend
In Concord, you move in troops...!

I cannot, yet, fully grasp
Why do you wriggle under
My feet within my short gasp
And soon get torn asunder...!!

Premium Member Trust Ransacked

  Brazen acts, once under cover of night
    trust now ransacked in broad daylight

  Rape, armed robbery, carjackings
    released from murky lairs on alien wings

  Our beliefs torn asunder, the world upside down
    no foot traffic seen in our part of town

Premium Member Dark Destiny

I have seen you on the 
Winds of change;
Reigning in tightly 
the future’s course.

Life is a playground.
Your games tough,
cold and soulless.

At the crack of
Your whip, deaths’ hunger is appeased;
Earths skin is torn asunder and death is free
to dine on her naked breasts.

Prolonging

Lingering memories, those
I yonder,
I yearn for the marvel,
As I wonder,
All emotions grasped, 
I am torn asunder,
Thoughts of mine, all squandered,
Taken by its oblivion,
 Its beauty I ponder,
Stolen away by its prolonging
Sensations,   
Plundered,

In England’s streets I wander…
Form: Rhyme

Swang

Listen to the cadence of the Elders
of  freshly felled trees
Torn asunder, branchless
breaks for cover

The village playground
was deserted
No Moon yet
just a swing
swang by a ghost of a child

Evenings our dull forms appear
We thirst
for the white waters
sweet like our childhood

Premium Member Finding the light

Light is extant in the darkness deep in my mind, 

Searching for its path which I just can’t find. 

Twisting, twirling, contorted, without form, 

Leaving me stranded in my own storm,

Torn asunder, as I surrender to esoteric dreams, 

Still, when I’m awake I know not what one means.

Premium Member Yearning Lips

     Hearts designed to beat together
         torn asunder, grope and stumble
     Seminal streaks of lightning flash
         thunderbolts rend and rumble  

     Lips yearning, pried apart
        demonic forceps ice-cold-sterile
      Amnesia, sweet sleep imparts
        Love’s embrace, for aye imperiled

Premium Member Blueberry Skies

Her silhouette is draped in soft moonlight 

While an unseen sorrow cloaks her eyes 

With traces of a light lavender mist

Hidden under dark blueberry skies

She's oblivious to the lightning's dance

Deaf to the sound of distant thunder

As this cold blueberry sky bears witness

To another heart torn asunder

Premium Member Winds of Yesterday

  
                  Winds of yesterday blow vainly
                     in futile pursuit of today

                  What once ignited our several passions  
                     this day swiftly drives us away

                   Torn asunder by a thunderclap
                      hearts riven never again overlap

Premium Member We'Re Just Borrowing

We take a couple of pens from work
  A blue one as well as a black
A pad of post-its too; who would know
  Anyway, someday we'll give it all back...

'Thou shalt not steal,' thunders a Voice
  Midst fire and smoke, trumpets and wonder
'100%,' comes the reply: 'We're just borrowing' 
  Without asking permission, Truth's torn asunder

What Remains

Today I feel unreal. 

‘Decohered.’

Like a suitcase full of writings 
and knick-knacks and scribbles 
torn asunder. 

Splintered. 

And the collection that was contained 
therein can no longer interact 
in the same manner. 

But then calmly you sit 
and take into yours my hand

so that one thing remains-

I want to stay here.

Premium Member August

Listen to poem:
August down under is winter torn asunder.
Under leaden skies, lightning clouds make thunder.
Gardens revive, buds pop, the yellow wattles bloom.
Unfolding butterfly wings, like feathers arrayed, plume.
Sunny days with showers, mist the air with scent.
Titillated taste buds arise, foretelling spring's ascent.

Thrall

i see it all the suffering call, where we sense the one God's number, suffer from the romantic thrall, colour fades, black on white is called, cos then we're torn asunder, look out here comes the thunder... chunder-from down-under, did ya get that taxi's number:) thank you Russell Sivey, "Shine on my Ego." Don chunder is what you throw up.

Premium Member Paradise

i start awake from acrid dreams
as all my senses meld to one
i taste the bitter ashen air
cremains of lifetimes 
torn asunder...licked by
the devil's sharp tongue
too hot to touch
too painful to see
through tears of disbelief
this nightmare reality
spits and Snaps and SCREAMS
ALL AROUND NOW - DEAR GOD!
WHY HATH THOU FORS....chosen me
........to save?

Premium Member A Torn Canvas is Two Paintings

siblings of passion ~ Love and Hate
argue like unruly children
in precipitous conflict
yet, never will the nest empty, because
    they...are OUR conscience 

~ one cannot destroy the other,  
   nor ignore the other, because
   they are of one blood
whose greatest toxin is
       indifference...

so...torn asunder, they must find
     a way to make two ~ one...

Unbounded

As the shackles were torn asunder
And the chains were turned to shred
Wars waged and paths were plundered
It was better left unsaid

For what to do now
The cage gave direction
Without it there is doubt
A mind-numbing perplexion

Ridden with waste
The land is barren dry
A lack of haste
To stop the lies

Suddenly awake from the dreams
We are better off now it seems
Form: Sonnet

Stains

There was no stopping what has happened.
The shadow grew like a viper in her belly.
We could not allow this devil to grow in our midst
The blackened souls must be forever torn asunder

The smoldering ashes stain the ground. 
Her pained screams will echo like a spear through our hearts until the end of time. 
There is no coming back from this. 
We have become stained forever.

Premium Member It's the Best

When schizophrenia attempts to drown my son I spin a lifeline of love that can't be undone. And toss it to him when he starts slipping under for I'll not let him drown or be torn asunder. When I hold him, and he lays his head on my chest and says, "father, I can hear your heart”...it's the best. (Rhyme) June 18, 2018 When line SIX is a perfect FIX Silent One
