Spring (Tanka)

a gypsy spirit 
speaking Bohemian language 
are the wild daisies 

When the season is over 
the phase is caged in a vase

That's All There Is

Submitted by Conect11 on Thu, 2016-03-24 07:58

That's all there is
I found the end of the line
the end of me
the end and the limit
of everyone's patience.

I found the end of fear,
and it's a bittersweet place;
I'm not sure I like it much.

To be yourself,
scratch that,
to be myself
I learned a lot
has to be given up.
I had to ask myself
"is it worth it?"

A really long time ago
I gave up me.
And so, when I took "me" back up
I did it at the cost of everything else.

MOMENTS

Submitted by Geremia on Wed, 2016-03-23 19:09

MOMENTS
I have no sense of the everyday:
the minutes melt one into another,
and so slowly do my hours pass quickly by.
I measure time with each agonizing decline,
and one other part of me that dies…
there are no new beginnings, only sudden ends,
one last breath and it is magically done….
again

FUCK YOU, father

Submitted by eightmenout on Wed, 2016-03-23 17:58

I bet you think you won
with me locked up in this cage
and perhaps you did...
in your own fucked up way
but this isn't about you anymore
you are just going to have to learn
hatred is a strong word
far stronger
than you will ever be

Whispers in the Dark...

Submitted by Geezer on Wed, 2016-03-23 12:00

The night so dark,
like the maw of nothing
I stare into it and shudder
Blood running cold
Feel my veins turn to ice

I hear it coming and can't run
Fascinated with doom
Frozen to the spot
I must see what haunts me
Is it real?

Not so far away now
Closer with each passing year
No more the twelve year old
Immortal
And forever

Snuffling
Scratching at my door-post
Leaving it's scent
Rubbing against my ankles
Waiting to pounce

Humans Too

Submitted by alidzain on Wed, 2016-03-23 06:37

They say, let the blacks
mingle with blacks
as if the color of skin
defines a life of sin
but they forget,
the redness they shared
in the blood that flow
yesterday, now and tomorrow.

They say the whites are arrogance,
untrustworthy, unreliable.
In life, they are walking poison.
As if the heart is readable
from the looks of one's race.
All I see is foolish enmity
accompanied with disgrace.

Call Girl

Submitted by Shyanne18 on Tue, 2016-03-22 22:49

Another story and this is how it goes...

I'm a stranger in a strange land
I feel a million miles away not recognizing my own hand.

My hell is not...sin,
Darkness, or air so thin

Wandering this place
Without a memorable face.

No horizon to head for
Always feeling like a fucking, whore.

Dealing with all the damn lies.
May be time to cut ties...

I don't need this knife in my back
I have time to keep track.

Everyone tries to stop me,
These days you fight to be free....

FRACTAL COMMUNUTE

Submitted by Esker on Tue, 2016-03-22 17:57

the spring clear air
sips through the portal
the air conditioner door
half broken leans
thinking like a verse
unended
the quiet harmonies of
voices behind the
Motel hallway
have their say
on worn carpet
of Wurlitzer Days
and cobalt blue

Trump America

Submitted by Barbara Writes on Tue, 2016-03-22 06:51

He talked about "make America great again"
Great for whom, I asked?
He incited supporters to put protesters in check "I got your lawyer fees" he said.

Where will protesters be when he/they divulge in this greatness? Sitting back drinking tea while he/they drink Trump wine?

He talked about "make America great again".
For whom I asked again?

He had secret service men throw out crying college students for being black at his rally. They paid their college tuitions and is not allow to attend his rallies?
