Watch My Lips Poems | Examples


Limbo

Limbo 
Hunched over and holding a Zimmer frame 
Limbo
Waiting for a call that is never - ever going to come 
Limbo 
The day draws nearer as the blinds on the window begin to shut sealed 
Limbo 
That's what they call it, hanging on every single word and action 
Limbo 
Bend over backwards. Don't bother in even trying. You're bent over now. 
Limbo 
Pull that duvet and run a bath and play some music 
Limbo 
Don't listen, just watch. Watch my lips move up and down in slow motion to the rhythm of this beat 
Limbo 
Don't bother in even trying. It is all done now. It has already gone by and it is told and told to whoever passes you by 
Limbo

Premium Member A Big Rowdy Drunk

There once was a prizefighting cop named Mick
Whose two fists flew furiously quick
   He saw a big rowdy drunk
   Whose awful breath really stunk
Mick flashed his badge, then took out his nightstick

But that drunk was truly a great poet
And his whiskey-fueled lips really showed it:
   "Hey, cop, watch my lips
    As I rotate my hips
~ You're a mite light, and everyone knows it"

death

8-17-2012 the Fall

The scripts are burning
With a fearless gasp.
Scholars forever yearning
For the now lifeless grasp.

A single thought
Of disarray.
A night well fought
With a light that couldn't stay.

The flames grow
Licking the ill lit stars.
We'll forever know
Of these remaining scars.

Follow me below
Dear Queen we love.
Do not watch the show
Of words thrown above.

Watch my lips 
And hide your tears.
Knowledge forever slips
From our burning ears.

We are living
In the fires light.
No chance of forgiving
What happened tonight.

Go back and erase
All lively memories of this place.
