Eclipse

forgive me
as i scratch your wounds
hard, crawl
through this hollow
no-
silence is a serpent;
tie hearts to stars
(unbeknown
those, too, shall
go).

Limerick : Once a Senorita from Sevilla

Once a Senorita from Sevilla
Took to hiding looks under mantilla
Not unbeknown to her
Sullen senior Senor
Gazed but at her wide open Gran Via.

Premium Member TELL ME PLEASE -POTD

Is it you 
Who sits beside me when l am sitting on my bed alone

Are you the slight breeze l feel 
When the source is unbeknown

Are you the movement so close beside me
When l turn and l am on my own

Is it you…

Subdued

Your very presence takes my breath away
Your light banter makes my smile sway,
Intricately woven, our paths cross oft
Unbeknown, are we soul mates adrift?
Slowly time will tell its tale
Spinning away removing all veils . . .

Haiku

Haiku

quite is the flat
no children calling you dad
your heart is aching 


sadness is oppressive 
no song can quell declination 
your heart is aching 


perhaps a small child
calls your name from far away 
your son unbeknown.

You Can Never Win

My x-wife went on holiday
And unbeknown  to me,
She broke her ankle in a rankle
When she skied right up a tree.

Her first day back I said to her,
"Did you have a nice break?
She grabbed me by the scruff of my neck
And threw me in a lake.

She Walks the Corridors

she walks these corridors that we know, bleeding to death unbeknown
physically or mentally i do not know 
but behind her elegance's i know she is in pain
so stop strutting in those six inch heels sun and rain
And allow someone to help you refrain

Fantasy

I am in love with your reflection, 
the one you refuse to see, 
I am yearning to hear your song,
the one your voice deny singing.
My well-known stranger, 
my learned unbeknown;
dying to accept - living in denial.
A dream 
which is fated to remain 
a fantasy.

Gossiping

Whispers unheard
Among gossips 
The truth becoming
Unknown
Gertrude tells Harriet
Then Mayble tells Juliet 
That the Milkman
Is sleeping with
Evelyn
Unbeknown to all
Fredrick the Milkman 
Was gay
He was happy to
Sleep with
Evelyn
While her husband
Was away

Jester

Behind my mirror the jester hides,
Although carved from wood and glass
He is cold in his ruthless world
I smile back at him unbeknown
He thinks I am taunting him
But I am smiling at myself
For that is a vision i see
My mirror is a puddle upon the road
He constantly looks up
I subconciously look down

Fate

Never known tranquility,
Thus as you display
A beauty shown so unbeknown,
Longing comes my way,
Lying there beside me,
Only heaven has the right,
To behold such a visage,
So ethereal in sight.
And so I lay here watching,
As the notions pace my mind,
Thoughts to comprehend,
As to why she chose my side.

Two's Company

Here lies Fred the plumber whose ballcock Sue's hubby had broke
Fred was visiting Sue, whom everyone knew really fancied the bloke
Unbeknown to the pair, hubby was there and on seeing them started to choke
But not before breaking Fred’s ballcock did hubby drop dead with a stroke

Delicate Monster of Doom

Oasis of a Dream 
In a Tranquil absence of Soul.

Aspirations of the Heart Abound.

Incense pay Homage to Dreams of fragile Love,
Floating away on a Cloud.

Suck at the Breast of Sorrow,
For Knowledge unbeknown,
You Reckless Beast of Burden Elude.

Quench Thirst with Sorrow of undying love,
In Turmoil forgotten,
Delicate Monster of Doom.

Memories

Visions 
flashing 

a sweet smile 
a stupid grin 
laughter 
silly jokes 

I smile 
I was so 
innocent 
back then 

Unbeknown to me 
pain 
always enters 
a relationship 
 
and somebody 
always 
ends up 
hurt 

This time 
it was me 

but you and your 
emails 
you and your 
pointless humor 

they were cute 

and blinded me  
to your faults 
 
Oh, 
Memories.

A fruit unbeknown to the unGodly
More history then Eden's Apple
A Love known only to GOD
Unless you have partaken
Purplered, Orange, Yellow
A skin soft as the clouds in Heaven
The Euphoric flavor , inticing 
Lingering through the Eons of time
Enhancing the power of Eternal LOVE
I have bitten into this Fruit
I have seen, known, and felt LOVE's bliss
My Heart FOREVER Recieves LOVE's Kiss

Premium Member Moon's Desires

The moon has its own itinerary Going about its business As if I don’t exist Within this world of exhaustive Pieces of a whole Just like the moon harvests Only full but once a month Eating away at itself It moves along with grace Unbeknown to the reality That the sun Only has so much to give And will on day expire Leaving the moonlight to die Within its own desires To be on its own devices
Russell Sivey

Constant Variables

There must be an algorithm for the Fate
in the A.I. of existence
and I am aware that 
you want to encrypt it.
I wish I could have all the answers
you desperately seek. 
But I don't.
Yet still, I can be your skeleton key 
in this closed space
to open the doors 
toward the unbeknown.
Because for learning by doing - 
as Aristotle said at once -, 
we could read ourselves into
the rules of staying
beneath the wrinkles of Time.

We can be constant variables.

Forgotten

Dame’s Rockets grow atop her grave: Pinks, whites and purples flourish here in this cemetery enclave where no one has visit in years. Her oblique, weatherworn headstone stands aside a nearby roadside hidden amid weeds, unbeknown to motorist who pass where she lies. An effortful deciphering failed to clarify her birth year Born April first [obscured] in spring Died forgotten this much is clear except for these fragrant bouquets that perfume above her grave today.
