Poems you make up on the spot

[(PRK)ONTHERUN]

Can you feel
the soft cool breeze
flowing past your face?
Can you feel
the beautiful water
reaching out its hand
as if
inviting you
into its cool grasp?
Can you feel
the humid temperature
warming your body
inside
and out?
you can feel anything
if you can imagine.

Nice one PRK.

I Ain’t the Broken Hearted

I know on the outside
I look so calm and together
but inside you will never know
what a wreck I am,
a tornado spinning round
kicking up high winds
and tearing me asunder,
but don’t think that means
I will fall away, fall apart
because my strength overrides
the pain.

Now I find myself stranded
between two different worlds
in one I see you waiting there
and in the other I walk alone,
but it is left to you to decide
just which way I will go,
because no longer am I chasing
after fool hardy dreams,
so will you beckon me forth
or let it all just fade away.

No longer will I be your Atlas
holding everything on my own,
I won’t court to half made
distant promises while waiting,
a dutiful Penelope, so you better
decide what you want me to do,
will you just wither away living
among broken bottles and old sorrows,
or have you got the hunger like the
wolf to drag me back home.

Don’t think I won’t just walk
away if you aren’t willing to
take a stand so if you want me to
stay you better be ready to
hunt me down with your nose
to the ground, and no mercy
let show.

So you better arm yourself
and come after me with everything
you have, because I am past the point
of pleading and my patience is at its end,
now it is your battle to win or loose
and prove that you crave me ever as
much as I was in heat for you.

Nice one Muse. Did you really just make that one up on the spot?

Reads like a song.

Thank you and yes I did.

LOL that is funny becasue it was as I was listening to music that I set me off on writing this.

No one saw you slip from the crib
down the hallway, through where the all of us live;
No one heard your pitter-patter on the smack-smack tile floor.

Nobody knew, but you couldn't belong.
The red-hot cast iron and a treacherous edge,
you wanted to reach but lacked leverage.

Poor little babe, you kid yourself short.
If you can't handle the heat, well,
crawl toward the door.

Hi Jack,

I can read you all day.

Some serious rain is falling now,
Don't ask me why, don't ask me how,
Can't you hear it?

Some clouds are running away now too,
Don't say you didn't notice that,
Or did you not notice that?

The ghosts are in the kitchen now,
With sharp knives they're conspiring now,
Tell me, don't you feel it?

Trying to type fast and faster
fingers stuck on keys that feel strange
and new

or is it the words my fingertips refuse?
is it the emotions my head messes up?
or the hurry?

Type fast and fatser, fingres
stuck and emotiosn and wrods
waht a mess

fsat hurry faster keys figrnes
'don't leave' souldh be esay to#type yet there
u go…

Fragility of Love

How could I have been
so wrong again,
all the while etching
angry words in my heart
while standing alone in the dark,
and fuling my longs with venom.

So ready I was
to push you back
pull away

when yet you had remained
keeping vigil
unrelenting you remained
faithful to the memory of me.

And when I was ready
to tear the walls down
and leave among the settling
dust of our ruin.

You had not faltered
your trust never once
wavered unknowing of the
private battle against
you all this time I waged.

Could you have taken me back
if you knew how easily
my belief in you had shattered
and while you were
thinking only of me,
I armed myself
to turn away.

My strength buckled,
how can I ask you
to understand when I feel
myself beyond forgiveness
a fraud in mine own eye.

Woke up, was 50, decided to pick up a guitar,
Reckoned I could strum, maybe write something before dead,
But nope, I was just useless, and isn't life like that?

[jajdude]

I like this Muse:

"dust of our ruin. "

[Jack of Hearts]

Don't leave me in the cup like wasted tea leaves,

don't leave me like daylight creeps from afternoon,

don't leave me, wilted petals stained in

night-time shades of blue.

[Jack of Hearts]

This might be the most brilliant thread in all of LitNet.

EDIT: Gotta control the urge to do this all day and not post 50. This is downright invigorating. Favorite thread by far.

I wouldn't go that far Jack, but thanks. I like your work.
