Ian and Loved..Duo poets

Ian and Loved.. By.......Duo poets

Better to walk the beach alone,
you too
Better to walk the beach alone,

Friends will gather,
as they call
your name
one by one.

Ian
and
Loved

Loved
and
Ian

Life can be so
very lonely
even when...
in a crowded room

Better to walk the beach alone,
never moan
one day the world
will you, alone own...

The small bard was
also ours!!!!!!

Confession

Submitted by Lonnie on Wed, 2013-11-20 10:16

Confession

spawned from lustful fornication
born without a name
reared by those unfit to coach
the playing of life’s game

absorbing knowledge like a sponge
daring to be strange
yet all the while still wishing
I had the will to change

Kindergarten

Submitted by William Saint George on Wed, 2013-11-20 08:01

Must children born
in the dark of night
wake up to see the morning?

Why should they live
persistent in the mind,
why should they feed on thoughts
and grow great wings
to fly like bats beneath the sky?

Why must they haunt
my waking dreams,
these fey unholy children?

Why do they call me by my name,
why do they sing my song?

Their gloating is a symphony
of heartlessness
and humour,
their toothless grins,
and gaping eyes,
their distant mien,
their slimy little tongues

A Raven

Submitted by Ian.T on Tue, 2013-11-19 18:51

Still Searching

The Raven sought his soul from on high
Round and round seeking he tried
Then something came into view
A glistening so bright as a drop of dew

There he descended in great haste
I shall find a treasure no time to waste
He screamed to his own imagined way
Shedding air his wings sang that day

His shadow grew upon the Earth
As he stalled in flight to seek it's birth
There now a fluttering brilliance grew
Still guided him into the light he knew

the hidden thought

Submitted by twg on Tue, 2013-11-19 17:02

I caught her eyes,
She caught my eyes.
Who is to be blamed then?
Who could denounce to embrace beauty,
affirm its importance and learn its ways?
Who could in his right senses,
discard its thoughts, forget its impart and tarnish its image?

I maintain to sustain its essence in my life, with diligent effort to pass it on to posterity...twg

thistle

Submitted by Esker on Tue, 2013-11-19 14:29

dreams come in dry cold winds
announcing their thoughts
through the wires of song

and on the dead leaf lawns
the shelter limits dance
like rain on dark pools trance

stirring in dreams
a murmur to a cry
break through partitions
shove aside the shy

and the thistle
shadowment
sticks
to to gait of pride
unlocking textures
and hungers
thick thin and wide

One-liners In Three

Submitted by brittle light on Tue, 2013-11-19 11:33

Debunking

monster in the pond
oh!...no...just toes of a cloud
dipping shadows

....

Intrusion

family afar
cordial constraints, the keepsake
a box of silence

....

A Mixed Message

"slippery when wet"
a warning, and a welcome
fucking on the floor

....

The Garden

trellis hugging vine
embracing geometrics
fondling nature ROCKS!

....

A Loofah

men are rough and coarse
smooth with kittens and kids, cute
rubs the right way

....

Hi Ian …you call me bro or bard …tis okay

send me my fare to London
I will come to meet a lovely one like you
and
borrow a million pounds or two
Oh your rich all know
maybe that's why your poetry does flow
wow you know
as Sadie also says so

You Have Not Started Over You Have Only Just Begun

Submitted by emogothgirl on Mon, 2013-11-18 23:30

sometimes
you just gotta deal.
your cards have been dealt.
now play with them.
take your shitty hand and see how it matches up
and it's okay to feel like less.
it's okay to want more.
just know that you're the only one
who can take it.

Shit Carothers we are only brothers
Do I have to wipe your stinking ass?
Come on now let go of Mothers plea
I’ll tell you straight what’s wrong with me

I am so sick of your spoilt stupid face
The way you behave is a bloody disgrace
I have spent many wasted years with you
Trying to make it so that you pull through

Come you donkey dropping let me go
I have my own life to lead you know
What of the family ties we have made
They are false and have destroyed my days.
