my face is covered
wet things give me cold
but nothing you pay me
one day I will eat up
bellies of your trousers
then know  wire is wire


The Wire

The tight rope act fell from the wire
Afterwards they had to retire
All broke-up and Mame
Had no one to blame
But a shifty Beddie eye supplier

Twisted and tormented
                        You keep things in, you keep things out
                                       A guardian, a jailer

your heart

Stan the atheist walked a wire
Strung between two church spire,
However a forceful bell-ringing nun
Brought the non-believer undone,
Saying, that'll fix the religious denier.

Fuse Wire

its me,
that counts,
others are numbers,
its me,
that matters,
others do not matter,
if I want I get it,
If I do not-I do not,
the power of me is HUGE,
this is wired to our fuse.

The Wire

You're taking my life,
to hold in your hands,
a chemical surprise,
on amphetamine sands,

and I'm taking your heart,
though painful to me,
because the body is worthless,
if the mind isn't free.

Copper Fish Wire

Wire hangs like shadows in the rain;
Half-personality and half-strained.
The leaf hangs in a metaphysical wind,
                     A glare of color
               Lacks structure with a frame.

The Wire

The wire's wound tight, and so taut 'round my neck.
And I know, 'less it snaps, I will soon lose my breath.
But my body and mind an innumerable wreck,
I can only just smile at the prospect of death.

Wire Nest

There's a fairy in my chest
Live's with two crooked knives
In a barbed wire nest.
She loves to play and hide
In the dense and dolorous vines.
And I can get no rest.
As she tortures me at all times.

Barbed Wire Ballad - (3)

Rusted wire against a tree, year by year recedes
The countless rings of outer bark enwrap the wire within.
I mark the circles choking me.  I’m taut, stretched thin.
Thus Time is so absorbing me. Consumed. The oak tree feeds.

  a daring high-wire act
weighing options carefully
  with diplomacy and tact

Best let nature take her course
  Storms subside with time
Encourage a rapproachement

Bird On a Wire

When your heart admire
To live like a bird on a wire
Praise Phoenix the bird of fire 
Indian white clouds, we soar higher
To a spiritual world, if we desire
There is nothing sweeter in life,
Then to live like a bird on a wire

The Wire That Got Bent Out of Shape

The Wire that Got Bent out of Shape

I am a wire. 
I am always getting bent out of shape by wrenches.
They are always twisting me and bending me.
I hate it so much.
Then I have to go to my dad
Who is a vice
To get back into shape.
I HATE IT!

Thin Ice Meets Live Wire --JU

he never thinks fore he talks
but on rope, head high, he walks
there's nary a fear in mind
a stronger base you'll ne'er find

his voice a substantial weight
his promise looming and great
those below look up with awe
all too blind to spot a flaw

Lonely Is the Wire

Lonely is the wire where no bird comes to rest it's feet, as if the message once flown to you, is numbered incomplete. How does love live lively in the flight upon their wings, throughout  the barrier of love between to gather in the light 
That love it brings.

Barbed Wire Ballad

Rusted wire against a tree
Year by year recedes
Inside of the circling bark, invisibly
Consumed. Relentlessly, the oak tree feeds.

The countless rings of outer bark
Enwrap the wire within.
Thus Time is absorbing me. I mark
The circles choking me.  I’m taut, stretched thin.

Premium Member Ode To My Barbed Wire-Wrapped Baseball Bat

Take me out to the kill people game
Turn me loose on the crowd
Give me some kidneys and backs to crack
I don't care who it is I attack
Let me bash, bash, bash as they scream loud
If they don't die it's a shame
Cuz it's one, two, three strikes you're dead
In the old kill people game.

The Barley Wire Octopus

derelict gypsies in the shade 
speak with crows across the way.

through the barley field and the corn 
spread the tenacles that were forlorned.

telephone wires that have no shape
stretching out so none escape.


some said that it was the cross,
some followed the lines and were lost.
