Chained

Windowless with only a door
I sit still, listening
Can they hear me?
Can they take the pain?

Chains, they mutilate!
Rubbing my battered flesh.


Starless Nights

Abandonment is
Vietnam veterans 
greeting card.

A door stepped baby.

Windowless 
city structures 
after resident's 
suburbanized.

And me 
a Christmas tree
after you undecorate.

Less words
	in a windowless room
                  no use for my eyes

Humidity suffocating
	what is left of me

I hear the silence of evil
	poverty a state of mind
		a shiny gold coin

Turns a small man
	into a rich thief

Laughter the cause of death

Nothing Happened Here

Windowless space screams
Feet spasm in betrayal
It's too late to change his fate
                                Chair pushed to the side
                                Life tossed away in the trash
                                If only the rope could talk...

Anatomy of Violence

The insider, 
of a windowless room 
outreaches a gun.

A signature assault 
nips at your heels 
in revenge.

Mind in a rubber sac, 
in search of- 
a real country.

A balloon thought,
soars high, towards infinity, 
to snoop at the god.

You should have 
myriad tears, for the 
fallen,*Black Beauty from unknown.

The Dice

The dismal quarter of the
city in a nightmare.

A certain sinister cube of
a building, 
a dingy windowless structure 

but with some marks on each
side, 
numbered one to nine.

Some people with no face
trapped inside, 
experience every night the mournful
invasion of moving darkness

when the dice is flipped on
the playing board.

Despair

Despair. I am like a windowless, empty room. Bleak and dark i steal hope and give anguish. Distress i am to you. Lonely desolation. Like a cloak you wear me with great sadness.

Life In a Hot, Windowless Basement Dungeon

I sit and sweat,
My pain does swell,
I'm living in
this unholy hell...

Time drags,
Like my lamed foot,
that twists and turns with glee,
The pain so much unendurable
Has got the best of me

The silence
of the empty wallet
The silence
of the grave
It's been me that I have lost,
No longer am I brave..
Living in this rat-hole,
is like living in a cave.

A FLOWER BEYOND RARE

A FLOWER BEYOND RARE

Your hair
How it falls
Like water's churning call
Your eyes without care
A windowless wall
Your lips
Soft sincere
A flower beyond rare
To me you are all
And to all
None compare
Dark brooding pall
Mirrored, frost, and fair
Your flesh
Never touched
Such I'd never dare
Drain away the blood
I lay awake and wear
Wane away the pain
I lay blame and bare

Premium Member An Admirer of Nature I used to be

  An admirer of nature, I used to be
    ‘til a storm felled my favorite tree

  Ever-optimistic, my always thoughts
    ‘til in my first real war I fought  

  Laid-back and leisurely, I once dined
    ‘til worn down by the workaday grind

  Always thrilled to the sight of flowers
    ‘til I lived in a windowless tower

  The world chews us up and spits us out
    Heaven’s surely better, I have no doubt

Premium Member Last Train To Auschwitz

Train ride, in a windowless freight wagon, 
rocked back and forth,  with the clatter 
and vibration as it snaked on the rail score. 

Packed shoulder to shoulder,  
overpowered by their own stench. 

Separated from their families, 
unfed, with only snow to eat, 
cold, with only the bodies
next to them for warmth, 
as the train traveled for days. 

Resettlement to the East 
It was not fully understood, why?

Premium Member Keyless Entry

Keyless Entry

Lengthy corridors that lead to shrinking doors
surrounded by the closing in of walls
narrowing of purpose seeking escape

Windowless views of endlessness
masquerade as madness
fueling the fire of the madman

Scanning non-existent horizons
for silhouetted ghost ships
adrift on a troubled mind

Keyless, claw marked doors
unsure of what resides
on either side

Mosaic

Snippets of truth
come to you, 
when you chase the anger and set yourself
on fire. An intimate slap of a fall guy
rages after the defiance.

You are no longer bleeding gold.
A windowless home 
for the defiled, waits for you
at the end of the road.
The democracy has drained out all the symbols.

Behind the grain now lies the eye;
behind the wood now fire rages.
A stretch of pair on ethnic hills.
Wings unfold,
but light goes out.

Astonishing Rush, Night

I never believe that a smile could hurt you
And cancel all hiding like a superstitious fear
To be separated by both --
The hiding darkness & the question who's kidding.

	Not questioning any smile allow my womanhood to cross
Over your body, she says, gazing into my eyes, and with the touch
	Of my nerve and what I stand, I make you stand.
That's my love, isn't? A windowless that only it's rolling on
	And it makes the breathe to explode into the spring!

Premium Member Living Out Loud





Living out loud, is being awesomely fearless,
Of judgements made by the internet crowd!


“Be you”, is a constant, pounding refrain!
And then, when you are, they think you are vain?


What a conundrum, for quite a few.
Kneeling to others’ social points of view.


A  windowless prison on this lovely earth.
To sacrifice unique you…to please a few!

Sticks, Stones and Words

Sticks and stones 
may break bones 
Words pierce the heart 
and stick to the soul 

Sticks and stones 
may scar the skin
Words saddle the heart 
and sour the soul

Words are like arrows; 
in the quiver 
of a temperamental ruler

So powerful is he, 
he had to be made small 
So swift is he, 
he must be fastened 
to the floor, 
held flat down,
behind double gates
in a windowless castle, 
guarded by an army; 
gleaming white as justice

Entombed

A windowless mansion stands on a no man`s land
In it there`s a dark tomb made by my own hand
Here I`m buried with memories I treasure, here
I`m tormented by sensations of pain and pleasure
Every thought of you is a new brick in the wall
Images of fantasies decorate the haunted hall
I summoned angels, wished they lived with me here
But they turned into demons of jealousy and fear
Such sinister creatures know nothing of charity
The price for my pleasures will be my sanity

Silent Light, Homeless Night

silent light
cast
shadowless
a homeless night
to lose your name
cold wind
across your dreams
lost between pawns
in the human game
blood falls
within your child’s tears
frozen moments
frozen years
empty eyes
shattered mirror tries
and a man
is left with only
questions
and maybe a scream
of what
does this all mean
no god walks across
these cold lonely gutters
under windowless
church walls
in where
a silent light does fall.

Sounds of a Day Dispersed

Clawing at the doors

Windowless shops barrage

Their straight images on printed faces

 

Bedsheets of yesterday grope

Seamless skin wondering

About moods and ruminations

 

Clouds unravel before they start

As thin toast barely starts the morning

The urge to shift settles groundwise

 

While gypsy radio pulses truncate

Asking for your improvement

And glide away before you start

 

I'm settling in the thick skin of dirt roads

That I know wind back around to the same path
