Stigmata

Wringing feelings
Like a sponge…
The words dripped down
My lips
Onto the page
  —staining my soul

Angel Singing

Is it an angel that I hear singing?
Or is it tinnitus in my ears ringing?
The voice is so high
Its making me cry
It’s my underwear, it's tight and wringing

Still Ringing Their Hands

the stiff clouds 
still 
wringing their hands, but
hearing your sweet voice,
through
the motherland
where
the 
colorful seagulls
flap their long wings
over dry land


More Evil Than Gods

MORE evil

   than gods &

loathing smiles 

while wringing my

hands -- at two-lips

so beveled

  god the martini slog

~ so brutal taking life as 

it is and miles to go

before I am useless.

Looking Forward to

Looking Forward to

I look forward to 
wringing my 
endocrine glands covering the 
top exterior of 
the kidneys; loving deeply, intensely, first respecting and 
approving the 
toilet brush; the 
new second Tuesday of 
the week.

Tattoo

I suggested that
The ink fall 
Below the sweep
Of your silhouette

Wringing physical sirens
Challenge the prick as
The shades blend
To a beautiful form

Complete
Your lower lip sags
At the glistening triumph
Since the nerves cannot smile

Today's Style Sheet

Rhyme is a crime,
A misdemeanor or more.
And cadence is worse—a rhythmical verse
Is a felony critics abhor.

“Love” gets a shove
In the ash-can where Beauty “belongs”.
Psychosis is “in”—optimism’s a sin:
Down the toilet with heart wringing songs!

Opening Bottles

Opening bottles

Men can
Women can't
Not always anyway.
Some women
Have men's hands
Knobbly and strong
Take my late mother-in-law
Hands good for
Wringing heavy washing
Lifting pints of Guinness too!
Me, useless, needing a man
If only to open my bottles.

Watermark - ed


Clouds leave their blue skies to be rain,
The wringing dark trailing behind.
Onto her palm, drops shadow's stain.
Clouds leave their blue skies to be rain,
While the water fills up in gray;
A cloud held to her face's cry.
Clouds leave their blue skies to be rain,
The wringing dark trailing behind.

Premium Member Freeze the Moment

Pounding of the sun.
Pounding of the storm.
Drummers on trees.
Freeze the moment
Of unusuality.

Stream of arousal.
Stream of hot rays.
Stunning silence.
Freeze the moment
Of tranquility.

Heed transient thunder.
Heed, it’s late arrival.
Wringing out rain.
Freeze the moment
Of instability.

Breathtaking

    Our secret lechery 
beneathe the wringing cascades
oft caressing .....        
       ev'r breathtaking  
                  nev'r failing         
                        oft glowing

Apercu

Ah, dazzled by the dark messiah's calculating tongue,
Panoply of a scheming soul residing deep in his being -
Engaging the mindless herds gathering all around him.
Rue the day when he is exposed as he truly is, that no
Conniption, remorse or hair wringing could ever undo.
Until the next election comes along, just grit your teeth!

Flamenco- Duende

Joy and sorrow in staccato
Feet strike the floor
Heel and toe
Pounding from the knee
Kicking up the skirt

Hips sway
Spine arches
Arms encircle the body
Wringing and unfurling
Elbows raised
Wrists and fingers twist and rotate
Hands fling high
Eyes cast down

Cante and compas
Toque and palmas
In passion and anguish
Duende

Predation

There was no clear move.
Flamethrowers were on the way- 

and I was looking, 
backward.

A fragile truce with the 
clouds. They had abandoned-

the sky and were wringing- 
the neck of mountains.

Compromising with the painted lips 
of winter, my secret was out.

I was shivering in the crowd 
of moon-gazers.

Night Sea Masquerade

Night Sea Masquerade

the moon takes on a new form
on water closing her mouth
their imposing other tides
she's a belle over the sea
her shadow bulges in waves
at night you never can tell
wringing audience, ringing

Vague

Last night when the first
snow fell I was hovering
on the doorstep of 

yours anxiously and 
wringing my hands without a 
dare to knock, even 

my voice was laced by 
unspoken poetry and 
only stuttering

came out of my mouth. 
I wanted to act; to love 
out loud and fill the 

space in between, but 
under the shadow of a 
doubt this void was made to grow.

Reborn

I may have grown tired
     but my lungs have opened wide
Never to be so inspired
     as when we shut the divide

Now universally singing verses to be heard
voices chorusing uniformly wringing through the urn
which formed splits and fissures through my nervous cord
hexed cortex adorned with loose tissue and enormous horns
looming viciously against my dreams

     I am reborn

Diphylleia grayi turns transparent in rain,
Transforming before me to lustrous bone
Drawing out aches in my marrows pain
Patience — the clouds will fade, leaving you standing alone
Ending transparency, we find white in every pane
Wringing you dry; elevates this capstone
Wet again, you bloom into ice-etched floral glass
Hiding in purity, the world forgets quickly; how clarity is surpassed

The twilight of the morning

The holes of the lace curtain,
Having closed the winter windows.
Life shimmers like so coveted blueberries.
So many pieces of obscurity.
The tops of the trees are spinning in the wind,
In a semicircle, back and forth,
Like whipping up the raw material for a biscuit.
Or maybe they're wringing their necks?
The wind has thrown the rumble of trains
Into a soundproof bag.
Every human is asleep.

Dream

DREAM I had a dream it felt so real you featured inside no shock or surprise I want to know why we have three whole seconds of true reflection in the closing blink of an eye you there and soaking in the grass bright sunshine with a wide smile and I with my body of kindling wringing it all in with lack of confidence and constant fidgeting © Kim van Breda—6 January 2016

Why Be Happy

What is this feeling that rejoice and hurts an instance of laughter the next of tears Tears that lingers unshed and weary erupting saddness wringing and scary Why be happy when saddness awaits like a sleeping serpent to rise its hood Its bite stings with searing pain flushing out the blissful feel Why be happy or be sad neither lets you stay sane nor glad © Nadiya (17 Jan '15)

Tears and Frostbite

A winter day 
you came to school
red faced and crying
your curly hair all ablow
wringing your red red hands
late
rode your bike
tears and frostbite

Forbidden to talk I saw
 teacher
scold you in the hallway
while your eyes dripped
over the pain in your face
your hands bent as if they would
forever grip the handlebar

"Where is your mother" asked the teacher
"Where is your mother?"

tears
and frostbite.
