Backs against the winter's slanted light
In fallow fields we cast seperate long shadows.
Silhouetted in gold we're as black as night
and the cold has driven us to sleep within ourselves.

As my...

I want to go visit Yellowstone to look for that wolf's milk slime mold, maybe poke a stick at it! How bizarre for this organism to be able to make what seems like choices, logical decisions, and have...

I completely consider myself one of those second raters in everything I do, but hell, it's probably too much attention there in the spotlight for me anyway. Who needs that pressure? Cheers to Verdi,...

The pains we go through to hide what we are.

And as I read that last line the confessions come pouring. So much, what of humanity is natural.

Lack of unity and connection, perhaps the strongest predictor of violence. Enjoyed very much. You have a wonderful reading voice. I feel I could listen to poetry like this for hours.

"Don't worry" he said, "You needn't say a word.
I'll tell them you're my student from India."

Long black hair wrapped about her waist like a sari.
Her skin radiated the heat of too much 'pitta'....

It's been awhile. Winter is soon coming to my section of the Earth and I cant wait to put on the seasonal slippers and blankets while cozying up with some poetry books and coffee. After a long set of...

It lies with me,
all my fear,
in the depths of night
revealing itself.

The closer I approached
the farther we appeared.
Our lips touched
and I was alone.

Thank you for your response BUh4Bee. Im glad the emotion was well conveyed to you in the imagery. I feel I sometimes can be too abstract and like it when I can pull off a vision.

Tailor, I'm sorry...

You are hands down one of my favorite writers YRKB. I will always love well-written rhythm and your poems have it all- moral context, ease of understanding, emotion, and strong conclusions. I just...

Just an emotional purging, nothing spectacular, making it all the more fool-worthy.


How did I forget
the last words you spoke to me
last we were alone?
Or
the last words you spoke of me
for...

This scene was so alive in my mind, Im just so angry with Matthieu! Errgh! LOL, hasnt every girl felt this way though.

Yes, please!

and this is utterly adorable.

This is reminiscent of a dream I had once. I was a young girl of an aristocratic family, I was dancing in a marble lined hall with massive white columns. A flood broke through and I ended up being...

Throw your torch!

Flame-spitten to an ash-wilted pyre
and watch amongst the phantom hordes,
a publicly relished rage,
writhing to fuel a fire.

Breathe with soft lips upon the embers,
Heat...

Im not sure if I can fully gather what the poem means from you, but it is full of a tremendous amount of emotion that is inescapable, albeit dark and disturbing. Are we the locusts, bellies engorged,...

Feels like a good ol Renaissance style scolding, best way to avoid blood on your hands is to keep them clean. A fun nursery rhythm for guidance for proper handwashing, at least it isnt as tragic as...

Bravo! You have such a wild imagination, loved every bit of it! I wish I could hear the music in your head by the beach-side composers, but I live in the desert. Nature truly inspired a beautiful...

Dear Pendragon, thank you for sharing. To share despair is a very vulnerable thing to do. I felt a deepening darkening with each stanza, as if falling down a well. If a personal experience, I hope...

A prideful modern day Grinch with multitudinous celebrity personalities, how fun :) reading this made me giggle.

A shorter snippet inspired by M4ngos haikus. Though not in the haiku fashion, it's not often I feel the liberty to write something so condensed. Its fun and challenging. Thank you m4ngo for sharing...

Thanks for the insight Jerry.

It is pretty tough. This was a personal blip in time for me and I realize they can be hard for others to relate too. I might try to clear it up with editing at some...

I've been coming on here for a long time Jerry, I know how you feel. There are so many people I miss who used to share here: PrinceMyshkin, DarkMuse, JBI, qimissung, etc. It is so wonderful when I...

To come to terms with death, now that's when one can truly live.

If I was there I would learn how to rock climb
