Premium MemberYou’re not THAT good, yes it's true

Some use AI yes they do
But won’t admit that it’s true
I’ve seen AI much too much
It’s got that robotic touch
As long as other folk strive
We’ll keep REAL poems alive
It’s just too good to be you
You use AI yes you do

I read each line and I stare
As I am all too aware
It is just computer speak
The content’s very weak
We must keep poetry real
With true emotions we feel
You use AI yes you do
why not admit that it's true!


Premium MemberAre We Having Fun Yet

You promised again..
That you're a new man
'Things would be different
This time

You said...for sure
You're over her
You're gonna have some fun
Tonight

We went to a club
Her name came up
That's when it all
Hit the fan

Now you're getting paler
Drunk as a sailor
Is this a part
Of the plan

Chorus:

Are we having fun yet
Is this painting the town red
Isn't that what you said
A six pack ago
Shouldn't we be laughing loud
Instead of you passing out
Are things looking up now
Down here on the floor

I think you need help
You don't look well
Rolling around...
By the bar

You're here for the night
You ain't gonna drive
I doubt if you can...
Find the car

I must admit...
When I see you like this
I think you're not...
Very smart

But hey, what do I know
I go where you go
After all.....
I'm your heart!

Are we having fun yet
Is this painting the town red
Isn't that what you said
A six pack ago
Shouldn't we be laughing loud
Instead of you passing out
Are things looking up now
Down here on the floor!!

Absence of Control

Oh Drugs,
it's been lovely
it's been lonely
it's been a ride 

but i'll never get better
with you by my side 
I'll never get better 
I know cause I've tried

Oh Drugs 
It's  been emotional 
it's been tough 
and i'm tired
 
but it's never enough
you're my only desire 
it's never enough 
I need to get higher
it's never enough 
and your grip just gets tighter

Oh Drugs
i'm falling deep 
I over think 
i'm sinking low

Oh Drugs,
i'm falling fast 
in frozen time 
and dying slow

Oh Drugs, 
I have succumbed 
for you I'm weak
I love you so

suffering in silence 
eyes without a soul

Oh Drugs, 
It's been comforting 
in un-comforting ways
but till death do us part
asphyxiating in your haze 
you took all that I've got 
and you numbered my days
it's no longer any fun 
I need your poison in my veins

Oh Drugs
how we dance 
with the death so divine 
your empty cold nothing 
sends shivers down my spine
in your poisonous web 
I have become intertwined 
I'm just  living to exist 
and existing just to die

Shadow Life

Shadow Life

And the reaching
And the feeling
And the drops 
from the ceiling

On my head
On my shoulders
Weight of the 
world boulders

And the mornings
Not like night time
Offers brightness
But no lifeline

The mind calms in the dark
When it’s silent, 
And the silence is stark

And the reaching
Out for something
With this old feeling
That it is nothing

To cast no shadow
See no path
Clear my eyes in the light
As it rushes past

Premium MemberThe Cowboy Zone

He pulls his hat down tight
With a loco look in his eyes
'Like he's crazier than that bull
He's drawn tonight

He's got a suicide grip
On a one ton bucking machine
But He wouldn't trade places with anyone
He's living his dream

He's got his game face on
He's in the Cowboy Zone!

All the buckles and money
On earth wouldn't be enough
He's addicted to the ride
Of doing just what he loves

When the gate flies open
His world starts spinning around
But he's gonna stay locked in
'Til the buzzer sounds

Tonight he can't be thrown
He's in the Cowboy Zone! 

It's a wild...Hair raising
Deep breath taking....
Rodeo state of mind
It's knowing He was born
For the eight second  storm
He lives to ride!

He gets rocked to the bone
But finds the strength
To keep hanging on........

In The Cowboy Zone!!

Leaving Alone

I saw you from the distance ;
I saw you in my dream ;
You are the queen of my dream.
When I saw you in actual;
You are far and behind from me.

Consciousness run in search of you;
I race by your side and sit with you,
But you never understand my presence 
I'm leaving alone ,living alone in this obscure loneliness ;
Tears flows from my eyes;
My heart is not happy without you.

To the zenith of empty sky ;
And the lowest to the depth of the ocean ;
I call your name and seek to every one.
Admist was I in grave concern,
Thinking you would be with somebody's one.
When I finally come near and find you;
You belongs in the hands of the great leveller .
The ache of leaving behind is immense pain 
Happier if I could see your bewitching smile.
My heart is crying;
It's crying alone all myself;
Come back and sit beside me forever;
Be my life and savour of my heart.
Oh I'm leaving alone in this desperate abysmal ;
Let me come with you and get together;
Let us make our life and get a charm life.


Thank you.

Premium MemberCold One

Silence sits between us on this sofa
Even after I apologized
'Thought I might.... be in for some lovin'
But lately...I just haven't seen no signs

Chorus:

Tonight..I'm sitting here with a Cold One!
'Tryna start a fire in a heart that's frozen
She won't come around,
I've got a case of love iced down
Tonight..I'm sitting here.... with a Cold One!

I watch her baby blue eyes turn to steel
Yeah I'd be in the dirt, If thoughts could kill
And now, she's got her head down in a book
After givin' me another laser look

Repeat chorus

I know things like this can take some time
I've gotta drift, It's gonna take all night
'Think I'll catch some football on TV
And Pull my old ice chest up close to me

Tonight..I'm sitting here with a Cold One!
'Tryna start a fire in a heart that's frozen
She won't come around,
I've got a case of love iced down
Tonight..I'm sitting here.... with a cold one!

Tag:
Brrrrr.....Tonight I'm sitting here.... with a cold one!

“Slam-en Mental Metal”

here to my mental, metal brake down
throw me to the wall
shove me in the back

Hook::here come my iron maiden
heart attack

move out the way
or I’ll crush you
I said move

Hook::shake, I said move
shake the ground
I said move out the way

here it comes
my mental metal brake down

Hook::shake, I said move
shake the ground
I said move out the way

Hook::shake, I said move
shake the ground
I said move out the way

Hook::here come my iron maiden
heart attack

Didn'T Mean To

It was a heartfelt indulge of an act
The night like knights we lighted
Like a king yah served my want
Like a deal we moved on and on
To the peak, the click of a nick
The  first time, like a key and lock
Felt like a gentle, acted like a man

So young,naive, live and one
What led me there blasts my mind
What clogged into me is a virus not got
Had no intention nor retention for it
Thought not that what could follow
Not a life, a son to come through

Left with a smiley Illy face down the line
Like a plane never turned to take time
Left like a soldier out of a war field
Left all aback, your calls for blocks
Thought not again of the beauty of you
For to me it was like a ball to score and go

My conscious coined erect when you first called
Your message, I father another, a son
Like a a shock it stroke my nerves awake
The senseless triggered act of infatuation 
The heartless deed and leave like a wind
Felt so silly and illy, but had nothing to counter

Figured and structured a reply but went dumb
Tried and cried but solved nothing 
Sorry to say so young for parenting 
Not ready to further father a kid.

Premium MemberDon'T Blow It

DON'T BLOW IT.
Slow down; life is not so real
Break down; 
love is all you can feel.
What little time you have to be, 
don't blow it,
children know how love should be, 
just show it.
Don't blow it.

Fine line; 
life is just sureal,
make time, 
there's no time you can steal;
what little love that you may find, 
surround it

Don't blow it.

if you have a dream, 
be glad you've found it
Surround it.

Don't blow it.
Don't blow it.
Don't blow it.

Best sung in a country music way
with a redneck attitude ,  Hoorahhhhhhh

This is a work of fiction, and 
any resemblance to anyone or contest 
is purely coincidental.

All Together Now !

Oh, a Sponsor, Has done it again
Made a contest, I can't get in
But that's fine
I'll just sit here with my rhyme

They posted a contest, with a couple of rules
That make rhymers like me, feel just like fools 
But that's fine
I'll let it go one more time

      chorus

I could maybe pen a sonnet
Just to get my song in
Or try to write an Ode
Just for giggles and grins
But it's true and you know it
I'll never win
What a sin 
Why don't we try it again

 
It's all about the form,of poems today
Not about the words that they have to say
But that's fine
I'm going to stay, true to mine


chorus

I could maybe pen a sonnet
Just to get my song in
Or try to write an Ode
Just for giggles and grins
But it's true and you know it
I'll never win
What a sin 
Why don't we try it again

Premium MemberIn the Bed They Make

And when will the tides turn against confident indifference?!

When will humanity cease
To throw cats against curiosity’s silver coated dagger

Another played out song
Another dramatic lyric
Shifting embellished overtones
With deteriorating tact

They spit posthumous awakenings
As divinity laced smiles, wither under a convoluted moon
Shedding retina waterfalls
Misunderstood

Pretentious anger becomes Aphrodite mediocrity
Wisdom, they never “put out”

Crippled tears
Become self-important struts within olive tinted reckonings

Lambasted butterflies
Stirring hornets’ nest
Uninvited

They dream for better days
While double-knotting gang colored bandanas
On eagle’s achromatic foreheads

Another Woody Woodpecker band-aid pulled from condescending hypocrisies

…

And when will the tides turn against pilot light’s mal-intent?

When will the flinty sheep 
Stop wondering how these charring, orange fires began

Forgetting the 115 octane gasoline can
They hold quietly in their hands

Rainter

Rainter! O my Rainter! What are you, Rainter?
Are you a new season tinted by holy painter?
Rain is falling hard even in this freezing winter,
Everywhere disgust roams like a lonely hunter.

The winter rain congeals brains, soaks hearts,
With its two ice-cold hands and crying eyes.
Nature is camouflaging itself in several parts
To display how changing carpet of Time flies.

Rainter, a fragment of Nature’s jumbled play,
Is nothing but a cyclic blend of its crude tools.
Some would sense it exciting, others may say
“Rainter, thou art disgusting except to the fools”

Everyone wants to be famous
But will you make it in this world
