Premium Member Reason's Out-of-Season

     What has become of reason
     Seems it’s completely out-of-season

        A tiny push, an unintended shove ~
        Today’s combatants take off the gloves

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE

bobbing in blue waves...
oyster fishermen snatch forth
...starfish limbs lobbed off

unintended consequence 
creating newborn nation

Love Runs

The sizzle, the hum a sparkle then done torched and tormented love starts to run Cut cords  — umbilicus lies unintended never truly mended Scars grieve still ~ bloodied hearts leave

Unintended

Break my heart and steal my soul
Be mine to forever hold
Body in mind
But mind not right
But held inside for all the night
Be mine forever
But never demanded
Will you be be Unintended [love]

Inspired by Muse’s “Unintended”

Cradled
to be a man;
with knowledge of wisdom.
True convictions lasting daily
never questioning why or answering
with an unintended motive.
Sacrificial and brave
which was born and
Cradled

Premium Member Sex Is Weird

Sex is weird, thinking about the energy expended We slam into a woman repeatedly with a rock hard appendage Says coz we loves her Other motives are stirred Like a primitive explosion that's otherwise unintended? Hmmm...

The Knocking Point

I've reached the knocking point
Let go and release the arrow
Walking on the path so so narrow
Reloading as I take a deep breathe
Fearing nothing in the valley of death
In a world grateful and splendid
Even though I hit a target unintended

Premium Member Good Grief

Good Grief By: Miracle Man 12-9-2019 Many have uttered these words on some occasion, “Good Grief," cant that person do anything right? An idiom that inflicts an unintended abrasion, Just because It’s clever doesn’t diminish Its bite.

Restless Soul

Wandering feet never do know respite, for wander they must, far as they might. An unintended consequence, husband, child, white picket fence. There are places to be, wondrous sights to see. My restless soul, never whole. Scars made, fade.

An Unintended Plus

Unexpected caring becomes new friendship.
New friendship becomes naughty reminders of yesteryear.
Naughty reminders of yesteryear become intimate thoughts of the now.
Intimate thoughts of the now becomes new love for the future.
New love for the future became AN UNINTENDED PLUS.

Premium Member Love Is

Listen to poem:
Love is buoyant, bobbing and bopping.
Love is lolling, limber and lithe.
Love is exuberant, effusive and effervescent.
Love it sparkles, shimmers and scintillates.
Love is capricious, unwitting, unintended.
Love is deliciously unfathomable.
Above all else, 
Love is what you want it to be.

Listen to poem:
tippy-toe tap tap
pitter-patter slosh 
splish splosh, splash,
drip of tap
purr of cat
twits of bird chat
ratter tat, ratter tat 
knocks on my door.
The unintended muse
was stifled 
by the hiss of bliss
perusing the lines
while muffled mute, 
ignoring
what was installed
between them,
instilled!

The Guilt of An Innocent Poet

It was my own thought
My own poem with a novel quote
I smiled with a poet’s pride 
I let my pen bleed and slide
I wrote it down
Framed it for my wall

Familiar words caught my eye
A strangers name in the byline
The poem was many years older than mine
Is it an unintended recovery from subconscious mind?
I’m distraught
It is too similar to call my own

Premium Member Rhythm of a River

Nette Onclaud, Rolling with the R’s, 8/4/2025 Rhythm of a River rambling funny waters, downward rapidity of laughter on white water raft. unintended coxswain gets rogue-wave kissed. guides directing, this way and that, up and down; rowers with coarse correction, rambling.

UNINTENDED

UNINTENDED

Didn’t mean to Undermine you
And to Neglect you day-by-day.
No, I never Intended to
But other Needs got in the way.
My work was Top priority.
I was too blind Ever to see
How much you Needed me to share;
To Demonstrate how much I care.
Now Every minute’s yours, my dear.
A prospect you might Dread I fear.

Premium Member Tomorrow As Today

What if you were the only one that believed in something;
And the world as mad gunk has you sliding into unintended traverses.
You find love before it has begun!
This solarized released, this rippling and broadening gulf...
The wings of cautious believers rise only slowly...
Tomorrow is another day,
Yes, though you have discovered
Tomorrow as today,
In the rich infinitum 
Of love's fresh boast.

Hurt Unintended

I don't want to
Hurt anyone or start any civil wars
I'm abstaining from posting
certain thoughts on Facebook
And do or say anything that will cause alarm...

I just need an outlet
That doesn't drain my brain
I know I have some talent
I can't be that completely deranged

I don't want to
Take a dump on any sites
Unload a feeling of blahness
Commit any crimes
I just want to be honest

And say what's on my mind.

Premium Member Borrowed Words of a Denizen Soul

Listen to poem:
Borrowed Words of a Denizen Soul
David J Walker

I admit to the
Plagiarism of the language 
I am still learning to use
Day by day by day

So often the meanings mangled
So often the thoughts tangled
In the confusion of emotions 
Seeking the freedom of expression
From the lips of a denizen soul

At best I am a borrower
At worst, I am a thief 
Investment in terms of endearments
Divested in unintended grief
Form: Rhyme

Dyadic

A thesis, ascertained through abrasions of
decubitus ulcerations of existences austerity.
   The colluded effect of unbeknownst
certainty.
    Preluding the path of non precluding.
Additioned to the implausibility of unintended
effect.
    Multiplied by the multiplicity of ignorant 
ignorance.
    Divided by the hidden figures of plausible
deniability.
    Equaling the copiousness of insurrection
and egalitarianism.

Premium Member Power of the Mind

Often I am content to just think...
sitting still and using a mental
scatter-gun on my brain – seeing
where the pellets go, admiring
the splatter pattern, and, most 
important is what flies back – 
previously unknown to me.  
                           These are
the unintended ricochets that
make for interesting analysis – 

Once I saw the face of a past
life, looking fondly at me: “a
pleasure to meet you!” – I had
my reservations....

''Maybe in another life''

“Maybe in another life,” I say.  

“But why not this one?” you ask, eyes full of dismay. 

“What’s in our way?” you continue.  

“I just can’t be with you,” I reply. 

 

“Why are you lying?” you shout. 

“What reason do i have to lie?” I say, but I know you still hold doubt. 

“You don’t want me” you accuse. 

“You never wanted me until now” I muse. 

 

“I’ve wanted you every day,” you say. 

“Maybe in another life.” And I walk away.

The Space Between

Oceans divide, as do the sands of time
Emotions held prisoner, within the mind
Words hold meaning, though actions hold more
Windows to our world, and what we’re living for
The clock moves, but only one way
Never does it allow us, the previous day
Visions as weapons, unintended
So intervene the divine, for fences mended 
Questions asked, to leave or stay
When silence itself, was a push away
Today I felt you, as if in a dream
Together we closed, the space between

My Conscience

MY CONSCIENCE

It troubles me more than occasionally 
It affects me deeply
I feel strongly
I love deeply
I think always of how I affect 
The people around me 
It tires me 
Frequent assessments of my actions
Lumbers me 
Slowing me down
Constraining me 
Making me think before I act 
I fence sit a lot 
The law of unintended consequences
Causes me not to rush 
I pander and question everything
My mind acts as a sentry
Assessing all of my actions
Guiding and controlling me
I don’t feel free
