Premium Member Haunted heart

You leave my heart 
haunted 
dismantled like a train wreck
 broke and unmanageable
 left to decay
 As time passes I have no feeling
 everything remains numb 
void
 lost 
your heartless in your love
jumping from one to another 
leaving a trail of dismay 
and many more haunted hearts
 In trainwrecks


Premium Member Pagliacci

Of course, a clown
is always clowning
as poets paint their write -- 
before with pen and ink

dip we nibs wells of performance

transforming dark ink
to colorful spectacle in showtime
spot of light -- like the pancake 

our many harlequins, 

like Arora, a rainbow
after cloudburst
real tears or daisy squirt?

we apply our big-top makeup

to cover-up and hide

otherwise unmanageable crowds

of deeply incised hurt --

Premium Member Her Surrender

.

                   Soft
              and gentle
      the feel to mine digits
                    as
         the soft of powder

              With desire
    her flesh she did expose
                 and I
             the wanted
                wanted

                  Yes
             I did touch
            The tight wet
And the purr she did surrender

              rendering 
       the unmanageable
                scream

Ah, to write
to gather random thoughts
corral them
Giddy-up….whoa….style.
Chase down those tumble weeds,
itinerant thoughts
blown by the whimsical winds
of imagination
into ever unmanageable
clusters of confusion
straining at the painful restraints
of barbed wire freedom.
A delusional state of self imposed
unconscious conformity
ever alert for the “rustlers”
who would cut the wire
breech the delusion
change brands
claim victory.
