Premium Memberthe look of you in my David Bowie t-shirt

i swore to myself
when i saw who she became
that i would never want a domestic life,
i would never settle down.
but the simple act,
of holding you,
listening to the sounds of your sleeping
as you lay in my purple David Bowie t-shirt
two sizes too big,
i think i changed my mind.
i want a life with you.
i don't care if

Got the T-Shirt

I've seen what you'll never see
I did what you dare not do
I hear what can't be heard
I know the knowledge unknown
I've been to the abyss
I lived many lives
I kissed death twice
I felt the slightest touch
I've swored past the limit
I tagged the rock at bottom
I've cried a river
I blead a pool
I carried the world
I thought the

Nirvana T-Shirt

I mop the floor every night at the local convenience store. 
Graveyard shift.
A teenage girl walks in wearing a Nirvana t-shirt.
She’s pretty ... and she gives me a headache.
A James Bond 007 guitar riff. Then the drums kick in. I can see the MTV video.
Cheerleaders.
The kids.
Mosh pit.
I'm spinning. ...
And I'm 17 and I am 50.

Saw a T-shirt

  'Fart Now Loading'

  Not enough space

Premium MemberMemorized His T-Shirt

Your eyes I’d memorize, emotive brown.
I think you memorized those lines, oh you…
Tinged pink, the peaks of youth, don’t let me down.
You knelt at my curved knee to tie my shoe.
I ride your bike on handlebars, so cool.
Our bodies fit each other like a glove.
Your arms and legs, steady, don’t be a fool…
I’m safe as

Premium MemberJesus Vs the Purple T-Shirt

Church people
in their finest threads,
rushing off to place Jesus in their heads.
Me, lying in bed 
a bleach-stained purple t shirt 
sunlight eating through the drapes
mind somewhat intact
bad thoughts flooding into the head
sorry Jesus...no disrespect
but I need a little more sleep

Premium MemberWet T-Shirt

Life is not a race and depression is real

	Got the shirt done and dusted every now 

		... and then in the here and now the angels sing

Not a wet T-shirt competition ‘though the

	living dwell and exist on that beach called

		‘Challenge Sands’ and sometimes we fry

The heat bleaches meaning onto the fabric

	orchestrates as mosaic a tapestry

Premium MemberCuz the T-Shirt Says So - For Contest

Cuz the goddamn T-shirt says so!
Well, the first time it was Billy,
ball busting Billy, who said
“go ahead, just do it”.
To this day I am not sure
what caused me to follow
this instruction.  The end result,
I had red finger tips
for three weeks
and my finger prints
are still on file
in the park
on that bench.
The opportunities
to “just do it!”

Blue Collar T-Shirt

Blue Collar T-shirt   

Don’t be unfazed and wonder 
When i say i have been there 
Where everyone doesn’t at a time rise 
And hold their head to create chaos 
And doesn’t keep minds free
 To fear not to disrespect the rule of law 
Nor be perturbed and be surprised 
When i say i

Premium MemberLove's Inscribed On My T-Shirt

Silly old man, I've often been called
I love those words of endearment
My one and only real aim in life
Put smiles on faces, that's fulfillment

If I fail, it's back to the beginning I go
Surely I've done something wrong
Laughter is the basis of a joyful life
So giggle and sing along

Life will go on whether happy or sad
So

Your T-Shirt

I hid the t-shirt
That you always wore
The one that smelled like you

Now that you are gone
I have searched everywhere
But cannot find it

I miss the smell of you
Covering me
From head to toe

I miss the way
The softness of your body
Pressed deeply into mine

I miss your gentle hands
Like Lewis and Clark
Exploring all my western lands

Most of all these
