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

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

gifts of the season
  magic and wonder
enchantment, delight

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

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....

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...

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....

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...

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...

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...!!

  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...

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....

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…...

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...

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...

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.

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....

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....

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?...

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....

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.

Caution. Watch your head. This underpass is very low!

Is it one you think you can get under?

Unless you’re blind, it’s something that instinctively a driver ought to know.

So if you drive a great big truck, you’ll know you’ve made a blunder

if coming out the other side, you find your roof from your cab is torn asunder!



Written Oct. 17, 2016 For the Warning Contest of  Viv Wigley...

My heart is torn asunder,
her words echo in my soul like thunder.

As she turns her back and walks away,
I feel my body start to sway.

I drop to my knees and whisper her name,
knowing in my heart I will never be the same.

Her actions bring an almost physical pain,
every moment is a battle to remain sane.

But I know that this fight with myself is hopeless,
so I let go and slip into welcoming darkness....

Torn asunder from my lover, 

By circumstances I understand. 

While she’s living with another, 

Who shows no love but demands. 

That she stays with him forever,

As his trophy wife on display. 

In the wings we steal our moments, 

For we know shall come our day. 

Slowly driving me to madness, 

As I crave for her loving touch. 

A future we’re planning together, 

But our pasts not so much....

Standing but stumbling, mumbling and grumbling
Looking for meaning in the stars
Weeping but leaping, reaping while sleeping
Screening ghostwriters for my memoirs

I was wondering about the seed and the sprout
While watering my alkanet plants
Torn asunder by seething self-doubt
While observing a colony of ants

Then it came to me all at once like a lightening bolt
It's time to change, time to dissent, it's time to revolt...

he,
loves her so,
she, 
like the wind,
needs, 
to go,

he wants her,
to stay,
but she's,
a restless flame,
twisting,
away,

he's, 
feeling, 
the storm,
the thunder,
his heart,
torn asunder,

he,
needs,
the love,
that she proclaimed,
to fill, 
him up,

her kisses, 
were so powerful,
each one blew,
promises,
into his,
empty cup,

lightning called her,
the storm,
blew her away,
leaving him,
with, 
a burnt flame....
