Boy! it smells so good!

Submitted by raj on Tue, 2014-01-07 15:51

Close the door, sit down
till knuckles on the door sound
"Hey there hurry up"

Stand up, open the door
Scowl above sound of the drain
"Hey you messed it up"

Disinfect the mind
brood over a piping brew
for something to chew

When nature calls again

Unleash the garbage
with a carefree resounding
burp of the verses

"Boy!, it smells so good"

From the Diary of an Ordinary Woman

Submitted by Rula on Tue, 2014-01-07 02:38

I
don't want
to grow where
white and grey mix
to conquer my hair.
Where fickle, erratic
furrows dig in everywhere,
Then all the beauty would let loose
and erode with happy memories
leaving me only loneliness to care.

D..i..z..m..

semi turgid life..
the tide in and gone
and the moon sleeping
half lidded behind the cold
winter freeze

our city traffic and snow heaps
scraped bare lots in the lost seasons
christmas lights and trundled bundled
passers by exchanging polite
sentry notations

pasta dish on sale
and the television burble
todays sweet soma to
reveille the call of a day
at rest

So I Let A Darling Go

Submitted by William Saint George on Mon, 2014-01-06 17:43

I promised I will let one darling go,
I'll open the cage and shoo it out,
let it live all by itself
in the wild,
where scheming hunters (not unlike
yourself)
may pick at it, and when you're done
I'll be pleased to hear your thoughts;
they're treasures too, you know?

all I can do

Submitted by Seren on Mon, 2014-01-06 07:58

I felt your gaze leave me
with it my whole world
fell away, I am now alone
lost and disillusioned
I am sadness and grief
behind a rabbit proof fence

there is no living without you
no meaning in the sunset
no beauty in the storm
the colour drained
from my view
all I see now is
black and white

I walk the night
searching the stars
in the black of my world
they are diminished
as the symphony of life
muted, all notes withheld

The One Called "Love"

Submitted by emogothgirl on Sun, 2014-01-05 23:38

Her eyes are jewelry I never cared for until now
emerald facets set in summer freckled skin,
too soft to not be drawn to
her lips are like nothing else,
that is all,
her lips,
and I have been drunk off her tongue not enough times
a curve to fit the curve of me and
we are golden
lying there as puzzle pieces,
slipping into place as the right ones do
her hips are a battlefield
many battles lost fighting herself
but the war will be won
with a gentle hand that does no more harm

Me

Submitted by Ian.T on Sun, 2014-01-05 18:53

I felt it, a vast infinite space
It rang true to my inside
It was the human race
That remained out there

Beyond the space they dwelt
As this was my own being
Here within my sanctuary
It rang with love and energy

Love that flickered around
Leaping out to all it found
Beyond my boundaries
Unconditional and unashamed

I don't have to see you there
I reach you without a care
The energy flows out in waves
Has always for all my days

Rivens and Bones

Submitted by Esker on Sun, 2014-01-05 00:52

Tonometric
apse
say bygones
once clutched
and crumpled

sodden and faded
a plying wind
to roll the fates

just another trait
beneath the light
another fete
to celebrate life

You dance...sing...laugh and cry

Submitted by loved on Sat, 2014-01-04 20:13

You dance...sing...laugh and cry

say something more
about how you ploy
and
why life without love
doesn't belong to all
who amongst us
still are so strong

love is always in the air
why not with all poets
we must share

this site is a privilege
to be a part of
let love show the lover’s part
as we from here to there
across eternity dart

then someone will ask
are you naturally daft....

Nobility

Submitted by Tam the Chanter on Sat, 2014-01-04 11:47

MY COUNTRY by Ian Thomson

The broken walls of peasants’ homes
Stand silent in mute witness here.
The land where Wallace once disdained
The power of English sword and spear.

Yet, safe above those burnt-out homes,
And always keen to bend the knee,
The feudal Lord is Scotland’s shame,
A turn-coat, always first to flee.

They think they are like ancient Gods,
But they will find that when it matters
A right arm that can wield a sword.
Has more strength than a tongue that flatters.
