Premium Member Poor Substitutes

   Our playgrounds have faded
     swings stilled, sandboxes unfilled

   Where are the shovels and pails ~
     replaced by profits and sales

cows stand in their beds
trod on grass loosen like springs
blades of grass enriched

cows fulfilled and contented
cows unfilled their content ... parts

Premium Member Maybe

Making him your one and only
After his unfilled promises.
Yanking out those treasures of love
Brought out from closet cornices,
Even though he's your turtle dove.

Premium Member Hand In Hand With Death In Life

My thoughts are faults. My mind; a broken lens.
Solely upon light; clarity depends.
Unfilled desires are sorrows running rife.
‘Tis only death which shares with me this life.

Caging the Snake

You first forgive
to then forget
Judgment lost
in past regret
To change the mantra
soul’s unfilled
And cage the snake
—from now until

My List

My dreams belong in a book.
I don't want to leave this world 
with my pages unfilled.
I'll never give up what I long for.
Knowing who my parents are?
My list hold only one need. 
then I die.

Unknown Hesitation

razored words in harsh derision
cutting pain enhances vision
Time stands still beside the void
That darkness that we all avoid
space spins eternal cup unfilled
constant motion standing stilled
by distance

Street Wise

Songs unsong
Lives unlived
Wants unfilled
Past, Present
Meeting change
Thoughts in motion
upward swing
Equiped with measures
Success a pleasure
Notes sharp
Eye teasing
Using ear to see
Tasteful melody

Premium Member PRESSURE: Heavy Burden

Listen to poem:
Please.
Release respectfully.
Especially eighth entrance.
Silence, sister smoking stone.
Smartphone softly seeking shadows still.
Uphill urging, unheard utterances, unfilled using.
Rising reckon relentlessly remains real reaching resolve.
Evolve.

Premium Member Joletta-

Joletta I love ya! It was supposed to be true love through time in a minute bodies and bodies facing the future was there no vow between us? Joletta So pretty Could I be your fellow But our passion was just a wish unfilled and always meant only a minute
6/30/20 WRITTEN WORDS BY James Edward Lee Sr. 2020©

It Was Just a Song

It was just a song,
 someone's rendition 
of love gone wrong.
 
It strained on every note
 pausing tenderly at each stroke
 of time as it was standing still
 and the heart was empty and unfilled
with emotion and feelings killed.

Let it play
 in the background
of love filleted.



For Silent One  contest, I died a little inside

What Is a Sonnet

confusing tensions
psychopathic maladjustments
forbidden love
in sequestrated caves

imminent war of thoughts
methodically organised
what is a sonnet
true discrimination of
shocking truths
mental equipoise
singing birds under the
carpet of a bleeding heart
pastures of inhibited love
meadows of unfilled longings
religion is philosophy
of action

My Bedroom Mirror Is Broken

my bedroom mirror is broken -
an arrant illustration of torment
wrists landmark a spectacle carved in crimson blood
damaged mutterings seeking acceptance
darkness in the corners of self
rapacious hunger cut off by unfilled desire
ribs devoured and exposed, but covered
hiding pain in plain sight
famished; none the wiser
with a cracked precision, I smile

Lost

Perdition encompasses 
The spiritual mind completely
Collapsing the hope
Of a life in hiding

In shadows no light shines
No savior or redemption
Found in the purgatory life
An abyss forever unfilled

From eye to eye
No end in sight of mine
Trust engulfed
In the depressions of time

Hopelessly lost 
No ladder to regain
Any part
That had been sane

Premium Member Elixir

In twilight hours at the edge of void life
Perched on sea shore of foaming strife
With unfilled cup of fulfillment in hand I see
Dusky desires reach the drowning horizon.

The last spectrum of sunburst ecstasy
Surges on the stream of gold on the sea
In my enraptured eyes it turns into elixir
I'll fill my empty cup to drink to the lees.

A Locked Room

A young infant, a short life,
It's painful, it's like a knife.

A happy moment, suddenly torn apart,
There was no breath, no beat of the heart.

A life unused, a space unfilled,
A cruel trick, all joy killed.

An unanswered question, a constant ponder,
They'll never forget, they'll always wonder.

A locked room, no one will enter,
They'll never forget, she'll always be the center.

The Search

My heart is not broken,
yet it is not whole.
An empty space,
An unfilled hole.

I'm waiting for someone,
I'm not sure who.
I like the people i meet,
but there not you.

I need to break down this wall,
that lays before my hearts call.
But without your love,
Its to tall.

So im begging you please,
in my love believe.
Together we will be happy,
and i will never leave.

Whatever You Give

I beg of thee to hold me close
Unfilled with love but only lust
Accept I would whate'er you give
It matters not I cannot trust
For once already have I lost
My heart within your silken touch
And watched it utterly destroyed
With cold abandon in your clutch
Please unto me do as you feel
Even in hate for truthfully
Accept I would whate'er you give
So long as you do feel for me

Out of the Void

That pit in my soul… 
a space left unfilled
The harder I struggle,
the deeper it drills

Its emptiness constant,
dominion unsure
A puppet on tethers,
with vacuum secured

One choice left unspoken,
whose die never cast
To reach through the darkness,
the blindness unmasked

A backfill is starting,
my cavern relines
The light has reentered
—new future defined

Premium Member If Not Now

life barely a spark in time flashed past brief memories soon forgotten promises made to ourselves loves the world still unfilled new year’s resolutions barely edited from year to year promises that take a moment to make a lifetime to honour as the inevitable end at accelerating pace draws to a slow or painful abrupt cessation promises? if not now, when?

Big Ideas

big ideas
     unfilled 
four months of thoughts ive kept in my vacuum
twirling 
     swirling 
spinning ideas bouncing off each other
cracking spines in empty space
     shattering 
lightbulbs
     unlit
scream all you ****ing want
nobody is listening 
nobody cares
you’re another fallen leaf
     floating 
held in thin air
by your stubborn pride 
and inability to admit 
you need some ****ing help

Premium Member You Try Hard

You try hard to make a position
Knock on closed doors far and near
To take your ego in without invitation
And search for unfilled hearts bare
To seduce for unwanted occupation.

You try hard to make a position
The doors may open or may not
You are a stranger close to none
You may find many hearts afloat
Fleeting they hold you in fraction.

You try hard to make a position
Make melting shadow in setting sun.

Death

One more heartbeat in my chest,
   one more softened silent breath,
closing eyes find rest
   welcoming death.

If I can,
   the final sleep of unfilled dreams
will slip away as planned;
   tossing and turning on starry lit beams.

You need not cry,
  wipe the tears away
we all are destined to die
  going toward it every day.

Listen to its silence
  the rapture of the prayer
embrace it with no defiance
  in a moment, heaven is there.

Beyond Belief- Your Tax Dollars At Work

This is too bizarre to make up, and can only be in the USA;

Social Services sent me a letter
They would stop my services unless
I sent them a copy of
the letter they sent me

Bizarre?  It gets weirder.
Henceforth, my case manager
requested from them,
A copy of said letter,
So she can send it back to them

No wonder I'm crazy.

In the meantime, all service halted,
all prescriptions unfilled,
And all logic out the window.

Only in America!

Los Angeles

This is the hub of Angels; by which I call a city
A concrete jungle of building that's never been pretty:

Culture in place for the unappealing disparity at its center
Come! And waver off on years of aimless wandering when you enter

The Angels must’ve failed; their endowments left unfilled
Our authenticity is a euphemism; a place by where dreams are killed

We follow the hoods of lavish cars that lead us to the sea
Must be that it’s an easy place to douse in our vanity
