Voting Time

Generations of waiting
needing and wanting a vote
Dictator ousted; long
long polling queues, many thousands
wait nine hours, it matters not.


Premium Member No way out

There once was a dame in New York
Who plugged her hole with a cork
Some thought her insane
For not wanting a wean
But she still got one from a stork

Celebrity's At Old Navy

At the check out I did a double take,
when I saw them my heart did palpitate,
Popeye the sailor,
Olive enamored,
Bluto stalking Olive wanting a date.

Duckbilled platypus and koalas lead the way
Showed kangaroos and joeys Santa’s bag today
Santa showed up with a nosey kookaburra then
wanting a warm Aussie beach to plunge in

Premium Member C and V Gone Forever

C and V are gone forever
Punched too hard
Copy and Paste

Space bar holding court
Wanting a rally to protest 
The heaviness of my fingers.

I slap them happily
Typing 85 words a minute
Unconcerned about their silly protest.

As my father spoke of wanting a sign that my mom is with us…

Wanting

Need
Revisited before and again
Dreams as pain
Longing like rain
On desert's dry sand,
Breeze in the heat
Refresh and hope
Words come like rain, flowing so naturally
Puzzle together a Monet
A sonnet
Wanting a dream come true.

Past Love

In awe of him I stared as if he a mountain
of grey glaciers where black butterflies
drooped wings eyelids of the miserable mourner
our wasted limbs entwined, celtic knots half drawn
wilted wanderers wanting a feather bed
on which to lie, under glinting satin sunsets.

Matinee

Raping old friends
Far too easy
And I suffer the 
Consequences.

Without connections
And only visiting
their happiness
on the outside.

I am undeserved of
renewal I say,
and out-casted
like a good
perpetrator 
should be.

Scowling is
my brow
wanting a
happy reunion
show.

Love Below

SWAYING OF THE TREES
A TOUCH OF ESCTASY
A FEELING OF BEING FREE
THE SYMBOLIC KEY 
A YEARNING FOR SOME LOVE
A THOUGHT FOR NOTHING ABOVE
A WHISPHER OF AFFECTION 
WANTING A LASTING CONECTION
A FLOWING OF MY WORDS
A SEEMLESSLY ENDLESS HERD
A MEANING SO DEEP AND
A SCREAM TO KEEP 
THE LOVE BELOW

Wanting a Cook

Wanting to cook
the catechist refuses to use fire
because every fire smells  hell

She made for herself
A snow ball with a core
Inside was hot red charcoal

“Possibly I will now cook”, she murmured
But hot charcoals melt away snow
 Face to face she was with fire

The rejected became her master

Premium Member All They Wanted Was a Drink!

Two little aliens from Mars,
Descended to Earth from the stars.
Just wanting a drink,
They never did think,
Of the panic they caused in the bars!

Max the Cat Likes a Scratch

Max the cat likes a pat
And a scratch under his chin’s a fact
He doesn’t like the cold
And will sit near the heater so bold

Purring is not a favourite in thing
But he does it when there’s a happy ring
In the morning his everyone’s friend
Wanting a tip-bit from the drawer in the end.

Please Release Me

Sweet release is all I want,
but can never seem to find it.

From the pain, strife and grief.
Wanting someone to be kind.

Wanting love,
but not able to break down the walls.

Wanting to protect my heart,
from future harm.

Not always wanting a man
Not always finding a woman

The ever and eternal struggle.

Where Are You

I search the horizon near and far for your presence but where are you ?
I hear a whisper over my shoulder I look but where are you ?
I'm envisioning you alongside of me in search of happiness but where are you
My love is here for the taking but where are you ?
Just needing and wanting a special love in my life
Where are you ??

Bottle Tree

BOTTLE TREE
 They say
 That evil spirits
 Are captivated by your beauty
 As you stand glistening in the sun.
 Wanting a better look,
 They come closer
 And get caught.
 That's what
 They say.

Cry

If you just sleep,

the rats will only cover your eyes.


How dare you dream!!!!!

wanting a way out.


this bad dream is more real

than love.

doubt more sensual

then the delicate evasion of a kiss.


there's not enough sweetness

to cover this filthy taste.


it

loves

me

it's everything of nothing.

Rhetorical Questioning

rhetorical questioning 
became the norm within 
this malfunctioning affair 
never truly wanting a 
genuine answer to be 
declared 
with a glaring stare 
spread across the eye's 
of resentment 
words foaming from 
the mouth filled with 
such disdain 
cultivated an atmosphere
of emotional hostility 
causing the death of love

Majesty

The cooling Savannah mud,
Where jungle beasts recline,
Refreshing their leathery hide,
And innocent eyes wink,
Unconcerned by matters of survival,
While Man struggles to find a solution,
To save a species sentenced to die by greed,
Barbaric huntsmen wanting a trophy of murder,
The magnificent horn of the majestic rhinoceros.

Darkness

Darkness...


The cold emptiness
the chilling feeling of...
alone


Look over your shoulder
no one is there...
lonely


Wanting a feeling
of something...
love


Left all alone
searching for more...
acceptance


Lost in your own life
needing something dear...
redemption


Not knowing what to do
always lost in your...
darkness.

Nightmare

Running in fear
Sheddding a small tear

Lost and alone
Not able to find a way home

You think it's just a bad dream
But no one hears your heart scream

Wanting a friend
When will this come to an end

A living nightmare
Hiding in your fear

Crying out in pain
Does anyone scream back your name

Terror taking it's toll
Claiming another lost soul

Premium Member Busy

Life is so busy sometimes
With places to go and meals to prepare.
Princess looks dejected wanting a lap upon which to recline.
Sorry girl but cornbread demands making
And potatoes need mashing and greens need attention to cook up just fine..
Maybe later or sometimes tomorrow upon my lap you can lie.
We will listen to music and watch the world go by..  

Lonely Teardrops

Keeping it deep inside
 
lonely tears i have cried
 
wanting a touch
 
of you're tender hand
 
knowing you will be there
 
every night
 
when mine eyes close
 
aching for that moment
 
to call out you're name
 
you feel it too
 
Keeping it deep inside
 
a thousand teardops
 
i have cried
 
yearing needing knowing
 
you will be there.

Ode To Tea

There's a knock at the door so I'd best put the kettle on,
Whoever it is will be wanting a brew,
None of your foreign muck, Lapsang or Cinnamon.
Only the finest from Yorkshire will do.

Dreamy and Steamy it solves all your problems,
Whatever the question, the answer is tea.
Liquid refreshment prepared in an instant.
Nothing comes close to a good Rosy Lee.
