New Poetry Game-Cinquain Chain- Come on, it's easy and fun!

[firefangled]

renew,
each day a birth,
skin of possible lives
in the garden, clear, beautiful-
leave it

[ampoule]

leave it
now turn your back
visit your hurts no more
inhospitable, they offer
nothing

[mazHur]

nothing
will move my love
it will not turn its eyes
upon my clamoring heart
for her

[ampoule]

for her
the world becomes
her oyster, pearls to toss
diving deep to find all the truths
substance

[mazHur]

substance
of love is love
itself, it grows with love;
do not ask me why I love you,
my love

[Il Penseroso]

my love,
scale the white walls
of art, escape the mind,
a prism stretched across canvas,
be seen.

[ampoule]

be seen
also be heard
you have much to tell us
about love conceivable, yes,
it's true

[Il Penseroso]

it's true,
a rose's flame
dissolves, silted to rest
beside a lover's bed, empty
of her

[firefangled]

of her,
my destiny,
I will know between lives,
when I am free of flesh, and love
informs

[Pendragon]

informs
on friends, they die.
heartless beggar! to sell
friendship for gain, lives for little
worth...

[ampoule]

Hope it's okay. I'll add a syllable...

worthwhile
this getting up
it's fun to lollygag
do you want eggs or me over
easy

[firefangled]

easy,
a no brainer,
eggs can be too many,
but lollygagging can be so
healthy

[mazHur]

healthy,
wealthy and wise
be my wish for you, friends,
and all your wishes be fulfilled
this year!

[ampoule]

this year
will be over
and looking back at you
I'll give you my Mona Lisa
to keep

[crazefest456]

to keep
my heart within
is oh-so hard lately
Mirrors crash on the marble floor
twinkling

[symphony]

twinkling
stars and starlight-
filled childhood and its dreams,
some thoughts caught unaware in eyes
sleepy...

[mazHur]

sleepy
fish in the pond
doesn't want to wake up
for fear of losing her sweet dreams
of sea

[firefangled]

sleepy,
the channels switch,
worlds collide a moment,
then one takes me, and I am gone,
dreaming

[firefangled]

of sea
I know little,
but this, whatever sea
I find myself, mazHur is there
writing

[_JadeRain_]

Writing
Is a passion
For those who possess a
great craving and appitite for
Knowledge

[mazHur]

Knowledge
may be power
but i do not want to
ruin my life knowing you
you know!

[ampoule]

you know!
you eavesdropper
but what will you require
to keep it all under your hat
silence

[firefangled]

silence,
I long for you-
the breathing of cities
weighs heavy, they moan like something
hurting

[ampoule]

hurting
that awful ache
one knows the remedy
so locked up in promises
can't have

[firefangled]

can't have
certain things now,
but time and space, working
the way they do, wishes become
horses

[ampoule]

horses
galloping past
stir up rocks, dust and heat
I will meet you at the river
wash me

[mazHur]

wash me
with the holy
water of all my sins
as i want to commit some more
in love

[PoeticPassions]

in love
with reveries,
lost memories
drowning in innocence...
repentance!

[Il Penseroso]

repent
ants, line along
the rim to save your souls,
cloud together and drift, carry
the rain.

[ampoule]

the rain
is beating down
the ice won't let it in
it comforts itself in puddles
exposed

[mazHur]

exposed
surfaces of
your love glitter like stars
around the cosmic rays of moon
up there!

[ampoule]

up there
upon your head
my feet dangle-ling down
you brush me from your forehead like
long bangs

[mazHur]

long bangs
to the swing of
my love may take my heart
to some other legs nearby
be slow-

[firefangled]

be slow-
the way Spring comes,
with its March crocuses,
and leaves us, watching the Moss Rose
blooming

[CdnReader]

blooming
in a corner
of my overworked mind
is a silver vision, with stars
sprinkled

[ampoule]

sprinkled
like a cupcake
all gooey, fluffy pink
on my nose, on my lips, licking
tasty

I'm still thinking of Aunt Shecky's short story!

[mazHur]

sprinkled
with dots of love,
my heart had no more space
for more dots becoming itself
a dot

[mazHur]

you are over speeding :)

tasty
like a plum cake
was the taste of your kiss
but why it tastes so sour now
tell me ?

[firefangled]

tell me
what the bees say
about the beekeeper,
his touch, the song he hums that makes
them dance

[mazHur]

them dance,
them sing with joy,
when the bee keeper comes,
strips them of their hard earned honey
and leaves

[crazefest456]

and leaves
lay on the ground
waiting to be crushed by
a swarm of kids running to school
crippled

[ampoule]

crippled
this morning's news
she was so beautiful
why did you taunt and tease her so
excuse

[Il Penseroso]

excuse
the bruise mister,
this splash heals to moonlight
pale and soft, your eager kiss stills
my skin.

[ampoule]

my skin
is thick today
but life will thin it out
all the better to see that I'm
alive

[symphony]

alive,
warm flesh and blood
proving the life in me,
a reluctant heart still soused in
dead dread...

[firefangled]

dead dread,
strange beginning,
death, but we are like seeds,
out of the husk a flower blooms
rose red

[symphony]

rose red,
violets blue,
promises kept to break,
Love loved to forget, hate, hurt, and
regain...

[ampoule]

regain
but worth the fight?
too much competition
leaves me so unworthy, but yet
trying

[firefangled]

trying
to be like clouds,
first bird leapt into space,
fell until the sky's arms caught her
with love

[mazHur]

with love
the sky bows down
and kisses the earth's face;
the earth turns all green, blue and red
in love

[ampoule]

in love
let me be there
that feeling, that feeling
so indescribable, purple
vortex

[ampoule]

golly gee, where have all the cinquains gone....

[_JadeRain_]

Vortex
Unknown portal
Strange and unusual
Things await those who will enter
Worm holes

[mazHur]

Worm holes
cover the sky
gulp every rising thing
defy gravitational forces
black holes!

[symphony]

black holes--
the ceaseless nights
in them, and the matter
stored, hidden, or perhaps lost-- left
unknown

....

[mazHur]

unknown
fears haunt me
I keep my heart's vault shut
lest some thief sneaked into it and
usurped

[ampoule]

usurped
and then you slurped ;)
giving in easily
those huge eyes unblinking, watching
you float

[schadenfreude]

You float
if you lean back
and lay completely still.
That is all I know, I'm afraid.
The end.

[CdnReader]

The end
only brings on
another beginning.
Hold your breath. Dive in with both feet
freely.

[ampoule]

freely
so it is said
but there is a great cost
depending on how you spend it
watch out

[mazHur]

watch out
and you are gone
love is not a child's play
nor a debit credit business
just love

[firefangled]

just love,
at the leaf's edge
tears fall as roses bloom,
ignore the thorns, leave there your drop
of soul

[ampoule]

of soul
fileted just right
sinking my teeth in you
yours shines outwardly as well as
within

[firefangled]

within
the space you walk,
you make a light for all
from what you do, from how you care
for life

[_JadeRain_]

For life
Is too fragile
Bouncing from here to there
Moving, swaying, never relaxed
Just breathe.

[mazHur]

Just breathe
deep and exhale
close your eyes and relax
you will soon fall in a trance and
see stars

[_JadeRain_]

See stars
Like the old rhyme
I learned in nurseries
And listened to my mother in
Wonder

[symphony]

Wonder
at times come in
golden ribboned boxes.
At others it may never seem
to come.

[schadenfreude]

To come
into this world,
with all its small terrors
is surely as dangerous as
leaving.

[symphony]

Leaving
leaves us only
with the faintest of hopes
to return. Staying gives the urge
to go.

[ampoule]

to go
where no woman
has gone before, that's where
I'll begin my journey with you
ready?

[firefangled]

ready?
which do you want,
to be larger, or small?
You can't be both, you know, can you?
Some tea?

[ampoule]

some tea?
and a crumpet?
in return, a morsel
just throw out a crumb of your words
tempt me

[_JadeRain_]

Tempt me
With your chocolates
In red heart-shaped boxes
Filling me with fat calories
And Love

[motherhubbard]

Tempt me
With your chocolates
In red heart-shaped boxes
Filling me with fat calories
And Love

:thumbs_up

[schadenfreude]

And Love
will yet endure
the wavering oceans,
the winds and halls of stone- until
all's gone.

[symphony]

all's gone
in a wild rush--
smiles, vibes, lives, tries, failures--
the wind has wiped out even the
ashes...

[_JadeRain_]

Ashes
And rosy rings
Children sing this as they
Spin around in circles until
They fall

[symphony]

They fall
on us. Heads bowed,
we only know how to
recieve and rejoice, wonder and
worship.

[ampoule]

worship
open yourself
reach up and touch the sky
let your body shake and quiver
with me

[Jeb0092]

With me
you can see all,
the world seems so profound,
until the day our bodies lay,
in ground

[TheFifthElement]

in ground
coffee, senses
evoke the memory
of your face above mine, silence
and light.

[alakungfu]

and light
slants through the panes
of dew-rimmed memory
grasping at rudimentary
image

[mazHur]

image
of the next world
appears to be gorgeous
but to me this world sounds so sweet
and live

[ampoule]

and live
amongst ruins
raise them up, give them life
love's embers, not dead, but ready
to burn

[alakungfu]

to burn
in pains of love
when heart is removed from
an idealized romantic leap
of faith

[ampoule]

of faith
I suffer much
for those who have little
surely belittle those of us
who do

[mazHur]

who do
have faith in God
do not trust in themselves
mistrust breeds mistrust in their hearts
always

[Il Penseroso]

always
a route is stirred,
dust finds a mark to turn
in pebbles and the sand, no steps
needed

[alakungfu]

needed
thing-a-ma-jig
got whatchamacallit
current predevelopment stage
on hold

[mazHur]

on hold
in the fish hold
mackerals and perches
buried in ice cry for freedom
remote

[ampoule]

remote
is your control
distant and uncaring
I mistakenly took it for
true love

[mazHur]

true love
is heavenly
it has no boundaries
it thinks from the mind of its heart
with heart

[alakungfu]

with heart
and soul and will
I approach my true love
charm of my wild existence; wrought
ideal

[mazHur]

,O,,,,,,,,,wrought
with fear she came
running straight into my
arms and cuddled down like a cat
meowing!

[alakungfu]

meowing
from my rough cat
barking from my playful dog
with birds it's more than hectic, my
fan club

[mazHur]

fan club
is everywhere
on earth and the heavens
in time and space and beyond it
find it

[ampoule]

find it
keep it, lose it,
weep, for it is gone now
you ask for more chances, do you
deserve

[alakungfu]

deserve
if you will a
drama, folks arranged in
tableau, never expecting mean
language

[_JadeRain_]

Language
A precious gift
That makes it possible
To express thoughts thorgh poetry
With words

[Louisos]

with words
that nought do but,
oh they conceit themselves
a thought worth thinking, is
it not?

[alakungfu]

it not?
or is it so?
did Juliet proclaim
her love, shameless and forlorn, borne
hopeless?

[ampoule]

hopeless
a lumpy sack
thrown into the corner
not to be opened, fear of what's
inside

[mazHur]

inside
it is all fire
outside a sheath of snow
you may call me a volcano
of love

[alakungfu]

of love
I have nothing
no momory, segue,
souvenir, no promise, no joke.
Doves take.

[symphony]

Doves take.
White feathered homes
for pieces of peaces.
What a world can't accommodate,
doves can.

[ampoule]

doves can
and oh, they will
bring you the bough of peace
you may touch but do not hold too
firmly

[mazHur]

firmly
observe the creed
of the heavenly dove
carrying in its beak of love,
peace

[ampoule]

firmly
observe the creed
of the heavenly dove
carrying in its beak of love,
peace

Okay, my dear friend Maz, do you want it to be 'the' peace or what? I don't want to put words in your....fingers. ;)

[mazHur]

dear Amp. ,,,,, please do ! I like your imagination !

[ampoule]

dear Amp. ,,,,, please do ! I like your imagination !


haha...then I will end it with...this peace

this peace
is to strive for
I know you are wanting
making peace after a quarrel
is good

[mazHur]

that's nice ,,thanks.

is good
not a divine
emotion to possess?
Are we not made in the image
of God?

[Captain Pike]

We met.
Then we married.
Two kids each, from before,
turned out, the hysterectomy
was good.

[motherhubbard]

We met.
Then we married.
Two kids each, from before,
turned out, the hysterectomy
was good.

:lol:

[symphony]

was good.
could be better.
but then, love never gives
a moment's leave to be content,
to give...

[firefangled]

to give...
love without hope
of touching, of feeling
the skin's warmth, this may be pure love...
only love

[symphony]

only love
has its remote
abode at silent smiles,
smiling eyes: i say remote, but
is it?

[alakungfu]

is it
the behooval
of sheer arousal that
gathers the horizon in my night
vision?

[ampoule]

vision
I have had one
and somehow it was you
my eyelids closed, emblazoned there
to touch

[firefangled]

to touch,
even dreaming
is to touch nonetheless...
beautiful as the morning dew
on roses

[_JadeRain_]

On roses
Sweet dew drops form
Keeping the flower moist
While the sneaky thorns prepare to
Stick you

[ampoule]

stick you
with all the work
hoping all this labor
of loving me will make you a
rich man

[firefangled]

rich man
standing in rain,
wide umbrella, fine cane,
run to where you know the sun ran,
palms end

[ampoule]

palms end
tells her fortune
his finger tracing lines
alert now, she remembers them
yearning

[firefangled]

yearning,
he so softly
woke you, a string of pearls
across your heart, made from mere sand,
so smooth

[_JadeRain_]

So smooth
The sound of jazz
Pouring from his gold sax
I listen with utmost rapture
All day

[mazHur]

All day
I waited for
you under the blazing
sun but you did not turn up till
stars fell !

[ampoule]

stars fell
Alabama
they got in my eyes too
but the moon will not break my heart
you will

[mazHur]

you will
keep complaining,
I know I know, but wait
I will listen to you but first
kiss me!

[ampoule]

kiss me!
with words of fire
bubbling deep but rising
my surface supple and waiting
spew forth

[_JadeRain_]

Spew forth
The volcano
Molten lava and ash
With its extreme power and might
Explode

[ampoule]

Explode
don't hold it in
share your fallout of love
let the dust coat the unhappy
shelter

[alakungfu]

shelter,
one moonlit trail,
out of sight pf stalking
madness shadowing wayfarers
downwind

[ampoule]

downwind
I smell the smoke
your fire is burning wild
but it is not for me to see
it waits

[alakungfu]

it waits
for its tangents
to work at paramount
cross-purposes for the purpose
of fate

[mazHur]

of fate
little is known
it's purely a divine
subject not understood by men
or science.

[blp]

or science
is the science of
unknown alternatives
even alternatives to the
unknown

[alakungfu]

unknown
no longer, the
target of that famous
fifty-year mark, still complaisant
laggard

[blp]

laggard,
cried the foreman
writhing in a spasm
of authoritarian rage,
spitting

[mazHur]

spitting
out his anger
he talked and talked and talked
until he ran out of all his
sputum

[alakungfu]

spitting
teeth into a
plastic glass when retirement
sprees shut down and the new life starts...
stumbles

[mazHur]

stumbles
not my dear friend
you still have to go a
long way to attain Nirvana
Have heart!

[alakungfu]

Have heart!
Oh, weary soul.
Turn those exiled footsteps
to the fabled kingdom beyond
the hills.

[blp]

The hills
bubble with green
Clustered blobs of hillock
Full of rocks, soil, insects, worms, germs,
atoms

[firefangled]

atoms
and inside these
worlds within worlds, our world
spinning from dark to light, fighting
for what?

[asilef73]

for what?
our pointless lives:
to breed and acquire?
there must be more that will make us.
humans!

[mazHur]

humans
have not evolved
from lower forms, they just
turn old with age and finally
pop off .

[blp]

pop off
you stinky jerk
You're misting up
The window with your bad breath; have
a mint.

[asilef73]

a mint
a sprig of green
floating in my iced tea
the subtle flavor coats my tongue
refreshed

[ampoule]

refreshed
back to the start
yes, time to try again
I'm sure your diligence will pay
try again

[firefangled]

try again
wake from a dream
show the night its rainbow-
come, sit on the violet edge,
barefoot

[alakungfu]

barefoot
in clear water
iridescing brightly
in the darkening shower's
crystal

[asilef73]

crystal
vases and kitsch
to be given as gifts
on the november day we joined
married

[ampoule]

married
matrimonied
wedded locks of passion
toasting the connubial bed
smiling

[firefangled]

smiling,
I am the wave,
curl of white from the wind,
see me rise in the downstream run,
then gone

[ampoule]

then gone
I touch my head
massage the memories in
they can wait in their little rooms
till called

[mazHur]

till called
pin drop silence
when called all you hear is
an echo of your own voice lost
in space.

[asilef73]

in space
infinite stars
gas clouds and distant worlds
the vast universe spans above
our earth

[sprinks]

our earth
bright clear blue sky
green grass covers the hills
a busy world where people should
calm down

[TheFifthElement]

calm down,
breathe quietly
child, nothing can touch you
while I am by your bedside. Come,
sleep now

[alakungfu]

sleep now
the sleep of the
frustrated soul, obsessed
by dreams of sordid details of
ruin

[mazHur]

ruin
not your life in
idle pursuits of hate
learn to love the one who hates you
That's life!

[symphony]

Thats life
looking at me
straight in the eyes. I have
left a world for a love, and then
lived one.

[mazHur]

lived one
fairy in a
remote village all green
spent all her time dreaming for love
true love

[alakungfu]

True love.
Reflection in
an aged bottle of wine.
Sorry apology attempt
in ink.

[asilef73]

in ink
i wrote of love.
it did not keep you here.
wiser, perhaps, to have written
in blood.

[alakungfu]

in blood
the history
of conflict is written
and the heritage of bonding
is drawn

[sprinks]

is drawn
from the scabbard
the sword ready to fight
defending the peoples right to
freedom

[ampoule]

is drawn
her face saddened
wondering at her choice
the wind blows chill, stirs her, giving
her hope

[ampoule]

ooops, looks like you beat me to it, sorry...


is drawn
from the scabbard
the sword ready to fight
defending the peoples right to
freedom

[sprinks]

lol that's ok, yours is a lot better than mine :), poetry isn't my strength at all :p

[mazHur]

freedom
comes at a cost
I paid the cost but lo !
my masters moved my cage in to
big cage !

[mazHur]

her hope
was nothing but
a desire unfulfilled
a blind game ,a shot in the dark
pitch black

[_JadeRain_]

Pitch black
The night wears on
Creatures of the noght crawl
And howl until the time when
Dawn comes

[mazHur]

Dawn comes
shining like her
charming visage just washed
and sparkling with the light of love
and life

[alakungfu]

And life
surges forthwith
like the turgid waves 'neath
the fllaccid ocean at the quick.
Skipjack.

[asilef73]

skipjack
not a strong boat
to weather the vast sea
a stronger vessel i require
safety

[alakungfu]

safety
with the angels
security of olde
locked in a gentle chamber
of gilde

[firefangled]

of glide
I know little,
except in the blue dreams,
where the sky surrounds me and I
am light

[alakungfu]

am light -
floating essence,
gazing at pretty shrubs
looking up at me heedlessly
ashine

[ampoule]

am light
floating on dark
crystal gazing colors
flashing, dancing all around me
eyes bright

[ampoule]

am light -
floating essence,
gazing at pretty shrubs
looking up at me heedlessly
ashine

Well shoot, foiled again! haha

[alakungfu]

eyes bright
as the moon in
the starlight, sanctified
after a good long cry, surfeit
unseen

[PGLK]

unseen
passion enters
where friendship once held sway
confused, delighted, curious,
why not?

[alakungfu]

Why not?
iI not for you
then for the girl next door.
If not routine then a bombshell.
Bring it!

[asilef73]

Bring it!
all your torment
all your worries and doubts
i promise i will not be scared
trust me

[mazHur]

trust me
trust my bull dog
he will never bite you
unless you try to snatch the bone
from him

[lucidnightmares]

from him
all things exist
as it`s taken away
now the final step we must take
forgive...

[ampoule]

forgive
try to forget
you will find it useful
much better than any face lift
no stress

[Joyeuse]

No stress
Walking down the
beach, I hear the waves; they
role in my ears; relaxation
heaven

[firefangled]

heaven,
it is not up,
we are floating in space,
is heaven out there? Or perhaps,
in there.

[ampoule]

heaven
in a cupcake
frosted in fluffy blue
second heaven in your arms, your lips
sweeter

[_JadeRain_]

Sweeter
Than chocolate is
The thought of your embrace
That does await me upon my
Return

[alakungfu]

Return
to my waiting
arms, to be nestled long
and raptly, so never to stray
again

[PGLK]

Again,
the touch of our
contact bleeds our colors
together, a watercolor
of love

[alakungfu]

Of love
I know little.
Of opportunities
I confess to know more. Embrace
my lot.

[ampoule]

my lot.
what is it now?
beyond imagining
like a cold front pushing its way
thunder

[_JadeRain_]

Thunder
And lightning spring
Forth enveloping the Earth
With great light and even greater
With noise

[mazHur]

With noise
life first appears
life then turns into a
stream of sounds and finally it
is dumbed

[firefangled]

Is dumbed,
as when snow falls
in the harsh city streets,
and puts a hush on the hubub
we make

[schadenfreude]

We make
ten paper birds
hanging upon a string.
Tiny white prayers that could save
the world.

[mazHur]

the world.
is a mirage
it may lures the thirsty
but denies him water to quech
his thirst.

[ampoule]

his thirst
I wish to fill
delightful charms, dancing
fill his cup to overflowing
with truth

[mazHur]

with truth
say you love me
but you are averse to
free expression of your heart's wish,
coward!

[ampoule]

coward!
I taunt and tease
can you be brave enough
to want to please, make this girl your
reward

[mazHur]

reward
me with your taunts
I care the least my dear
you know one day you will seek me
in YOU!

[lucidnightmares]

in you
lies all the things
that make life beautiful
someday i hope that world will see
your eyes

[mazHur]

your eyes
are oceans of
love wherein ripple waves
after waves of love's ecstasy
sublime

[symphony]

'sublime'
is that which rhymes
well with 'time', is that why
poets revere it in so many
verses?

[alakungfu]

verses
versus rune-lit
maxims maximizing
speech and acrimony between
refrains

[mazHur]

refrains
arn't symbolic
of true love which demands
truth and openness of heart at
all times

[Il Penseroso]

all times
are spent, hard change
dropped through frosted fingers,
numbed bones flapping for platinum
faces

[mazHur]

faces
are deceptive
they suddenly change as
soon as the hearts' eyes suffer from
changed looks

[alakungfu]

changed looks
reflect the pain
felt suddenly when fair
eloquence dies, giving way to
hard drive

[Oniw17]

Hard drive
Drive hard, cards fly
See them and see bards lie
In the sun, see where the sharks cry
Dark times

[mazHur]

Dark times
long long winters
life is a madman's dream
an un-predictable future
unknown

[ampoule]

unknown
why suffering
is questioning a sin
does it string us out or wind us
inward

[mazHur]

inward
or outward is
not the binding question
this way or that way keep winding,
sinning!

[Oniw17]

Sinning
Consuming souls
Souls of others', of mine
It's the same, things change, life depletes
Lost friends

[asilef73]

lost friends
treasures long gone
hard to find some new ones
wishing i had held on tighter
regret

[Oniw17]

Regret
Seed of failure
How you cause needless strife
What can't be changed we should accept
Gladly

[alakungfu]

gladly
would I set by
my character, pack up
your charms, for one terrible glimpse
ahead

[Oniw17]

ahead
the road darkens
simplicity spawns vice
with patience you can overcome
madness

[ampoule]

madness
oh I love it
what other excuse works
what else pays for my surrender
wild eyed

[Oniw17]

Wild eyed
Children doped up
Losing constitution
The influx in prositution
Builds woes

[alakungfu]

builds woes.
inculcates vice,
attracts the element
of freneticism to its edge,
big league

[schadenfreude]

Big league,
big brains. He thinks
he is big stuff, you say,
standing in frost, wishing you were
big too.

[_JadeRain_]

Big too
Were the Red Woods
Towering above me
That made me feel small, and weak, and frail
Unnerved

[alakungfu]

Unnerved
Undeserved truce
How to respond in kind
Tolerantly slant the biased
Manner

[Oniw17]

Manner
Life etiquette
Home to ascending falls
The son of discipline and class
Humble

[alakungfu]

Humble
is the serene
Wordless essence pristine
Magical persuasions routine
Unseen

[Oniw17]

unseen
silent, stealthed moves
Hiding from the people
Withdrawn, fearing their acceptance
Secure

[alakungfu]

Secure
in name only,
entutled. Confounded
in real terms by unadmitted, forced
conflict.

[ampoule]

conflict
between those two
ha, I laugh, is that new
just list'ning I feel slaughtered, torn
apart

[alakungfu]

apart
but together
deep in our souls, counting
tomorrows to our destiny
reclined

[firefangled]

Reclined
by blue thoughts drift
to the day's final fire,
then the eyes of God, looking back
at me

[Oniw17]

At me
Everyone looks
Paranoia crowds in
Fighting not to let the sounds in
Worry

[Sarasvati21]

worry
as he watches--
watches me from afar;
pray i never ruin this joy
of ours...

[symphony]

of ours,
our dreams and deeds,
songs and sorrows, life-bloods --
brooded over, breamed and broidered
in ink.

[Oniw17]

In ink
Are wars resolved
The pen with diamond shell
Which writes only in liquid gold
Prevails

[Sarasvati21]

in ink
i signed the sheet
of paper that will never
allow me to be the same. it
chained me...

[Oniw17]

Chained me
Locked in a cage
Reflecting on the days
Entrapped are anti-citizens
Searching

[sprinks]

Searching
Wondering why
Not finding answers yet
But not giving up the quest for
Knowledge

[ampoule]

Knowledge
is killing us
spew forth that bite of fruit
let me back into the garden
to rest

[Oniw17]

to rest
means to perish
luxury breeds weakness
you should know: all is vanity
Ovid

[mazHur]

Ovid
critics call rest
as good as destruction;
rise from the luxury of death
relive!

[TheFifthElement]

relive
a sentence, a
word, without reason or
cause. Focus, discover meaningful
language

[Oniw17]

language
mother of all
things intellectual
yet still the prison of wisdom
logos

[ampoule]

logos
where is the proof
that I jump through its hoops
Murphy has had his way with me
the cad

[asilef73]

the cad
who stole my heart
will not return it whole
rendered into tattered pieces
to mend
