Total War
Tread not on me, brother! To live is to expand. Deterrence! Slay the Other! Cold core countermand! Boots a-click-clack, cobblestone. Midnight raid and how! Help the boy to hold his own! Sacred, O my cow! Written in the ancient s blood? Time to cause a flood! Rill and river, ricin, rud! Break, fade, flash, firewood! Bats before the bayonets? Batons too can kill. Settle in before she sets? Providence, thy...

Premium Member My Total Pain
Poems request that I be authentic. I am unsure my pen can take it. I live life as an emotional sayer, but should I now reveal each layer my blood will spill upon this paper. I have sought to give life tender smiles while enduring heart wrenching trials. I have glued events found fragile into some matter I can handle. I have not once...

Premium Member Solar-Lunar Wonder
Under the broad sweep of endless sky, In that rare and hallowed moment When the moon, in audacious stealth, Edges before the sun, A quietude descends, profound and deep. The air, thick with anticipation, Holds its breath; The earth, in its tireless orbit, Pauses—in reverence To the grandeur to which we all belong. This spectacle, this dance of light and shadow, Where the day is...

Premium Member Total Blackout
Eclipse of the disco ball, a full floor drank that rhythm on ice; Total Blackout; Will they get out, CAN they get out? 88 Keys to dance on, awash with a psychedelic trance; Unable to shout; Will they, can they, ever get out? Each pair of feet moving faster than the sound of the DJ; Oh that soft pout; Now there’s positively no...

Premium Member Cosmic Alignment
In shadows cast on lands afar or near, A dance of spheres in silence, stark and clear. Though veiled from some, the cosmic play proceeds, Unfolding vast, beyond our earthly deeds. To those who stand beneath the darkened sky, A truth revealed to the beholder's eye. A moment brief, yet etched within the soul, A glimpse of cosmos playing out its role. In...

Premium Member Total Ahhh
Chamois soft and diamond strong kitten cute and tigress tough. Childlike as a robin's song and yet complex, strangely enough. With you gone I always get antsy, out of sorts and not-so-jingly. With you here I feel romancey, dancy, spry, and neck-hair-tingly. The prize of your eyes a daily surprise into their liquid grace I'm gazing. You truly make...

To tell you that I miss you Understates the case If you want to give a bookmark Let me see you face to face That's why I like the instances When we're part of the team There's then no need to recall Your image from a dream I'm filling up a memory bank It's stored inside my mind Images and moments Treasures of the kind That...

Premium Member Total Sum
Wrapped up in my arms, I've never felt someone so wholesome Mathematically unequivalent my heart, it finds you a singular total sum You're different than all others, so herein lies my questioning conundrum How are you so fascinating? Without any expectations, to which I do come I fancy you on another plane, you're the sound of a never beaten...
