Date Night End In Murder

Submitted by Barbara Writes on Fri, 2015-03-20 13:38

There is a lot that's going on
My wifi is off, car is down
I purchase one day of wifi
And a rental, Nissan Sentra

Watching another murder case
There is a lot that's going on
This man is a real life monster
He killed his wife who loved him so.

He shot her close range in the head
Then put a bullet in her heart
There is a lot that's going on
I can't imagine this evil.

Matchstick Coffins Matching.... Ends

Submitted by Roscoe Lane on Fri, 2015-03-20 05:53

Matchstick Coffins Matching…. Ends

Lowry’s matching figures walk my streets,
escapees of a man’s suitcase by the door.
Flat caps duly doffed as each one greets,
that very thin waver of life we so adore.

Despair in their eyes, they’ll die young,
some vie to get there by a means test.
This is not a theory that’s so far flung,
poverty will ruin lives till we invest.

becoming (meter is our friend WS)

Submitted by judyanne on Fri, 2015-03-20 05:18

at Home I AM; I'm everywhere; I'm happy, worry free
no need for growth, no need for change, content to be just me
then sent here to this manifest of horror and of beauty
my charge – conveying into form that which is still just misty

and even if, perchance, ignore the time I spent preteen
from now it seems obscene, so ignorant - serene sixteen
and even worse, mistakes I've made throughout the years between
for, here, there's no way altering the things I've done and been

YET ONE MORE STAND

Submitted by scribbler on Thu, 2015-03-19 23:05

Come with me in the cold light rain
I've built a stand to keep us dry
when dripping trees beat a refrain
beneath this last gray winter sky
....It's been too long since you've been out.

We'll ride my truck but not too far
just through a forgotten southern town
( We'll not talk about your cancer's scar
or anything which makes us frown)
....We'll talk of when we both were stout.

positive/negative
our violence attracts
nes pas

you loathe for bruises
I loan work
the business
of worth

and yet

tension drawn
between us
is like the earth
and the moon
tides of passion
the twain never
shall meet

Quest (Meter WS)

Submitted by alidzain on Thu, 2015-03-19 16:02

Seek you the lord of elves in the house of pleasure
Lost is his mind, betrayed by his younger brother
Let him drink this potion to break the spell on him
Stand by his side and help him reclaim his kingdom.

TRANZER ZINEZ

Submitted by Esker on Wed, 2015-03-18 20:19

Slip in the ivory softness
tender like keys
unlocking hearts
like a quiet winged theif
The half folded wisp
punchdocumented
pass
Down to the revolt of darkness
of marble arched
madness
brake breath
and electric winds
wear your mask
like a shield
where elbows
like spears
yeild

Smiles are crescent
notes drawn like
violinists
on pigeon parade
grounds
the Blue Velvet
of coins and delicate
paper

Where Melancholies Live ( Meter WS + recording)

Submitted by Rula on Wed, 2015-03-18 16:04

as melancholies belong to a darker place
that's far and away from the beamish stars,
they'd wrinkle and crease with, furrows and lines
those faces traced with scowls and frowns

Snuggle

Submitted by raj on Wed, 2015-03-18 14:35

snuggle like tendrils
akin to their intimate
seductive twirling

their delicate touch rouses
budding lilies and lilacs
