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

[scarlet pain]

secret
of the seven
seas held by the trident
of the great king Titan!no men
shall know!

[firefangled]

shall know!
shall share the known!
shall seek peace with the known!
shall not restrict peace to a law!
all shall!

[packersfan]

all shall
love, the way they
were loved by the people
yes, the people of peace, of hope
of love

[Pendragon]

of love
I am lacking
eternal prodigal,
seeking someone darkness hiding
my way

all shall
listen, now my
story saddens people:
misunderstood, forgotten, thrown
aside…

adrift
wandering waif
requires love, acceptance,
reassurance that I am of
any worth…

will you
hold my hand for
a moment, brush a tear
from overflowing eyes, be kind
to me…

[symphony]

to me
and me alone,
i owe my life. No God,
no knight in shining armour, has
saved me

there were
no Lord, no one,
even "Saviors" savoured
what i had stored in me, in this
crushed cup....

[mazHur]

saved me
from disaster
no one but my shadow
which followed me in my days of
hardships

crushed cup..
will break my heart
O my cup bearer serve
the wine of your enchanting eyes,
in eyes

[ampoule]

in eyes
I see your truth
and you like my looking
but your eyes, deep and dark, see me
blinking

[firefangled]

blinking
once, she was gone,
hummingbird, wings singing
that song, down by the Oswego,
dancing

[mazHur]

dancing
to please his mate
the peacock fanned his tail
like a mistress pleasing his man
madly

[firefangled]

madly,
through the long day,
I rush, plague of data,
writing on water, no swimming
allowed

[Pendragon]

allowed
my pain, I go
if no one goes along
alone unafraid to challange
hell's gates

[mazHur]

hell's gates
are closed for me
that has put me in hell
I really cannot understand
what,hell?

[ampoule]

what hell
is in my loins
chopped and scattered about
bring them together for me please
soon, please

[mazHur]

soon, please
before I lose
my patience and girdle
up my loins for a new battle
with hell!

[firefangled]

with hell
those words again!
don't like hell, don't want hell,
don't believe in hell, wait, I smell
meatloaf!!

[mazHur]

meatloaf
uncooked is hell
bake it in an oven
stoked by blazing fire of hell
then eat

[ampoule]

then eat
you might like it
or I'll have hell to pay
how wonderful the aromas
cooking

[mazHur]

cooking
meat is easy
beat to make it tender
with a hollander, then stir fry
serve hot

[firefangled]

serve hot,
fresh meatloaf, yes,
the divine cold meatloaf sandwich,
never!

[Pendragon]

never
allow foolish
pride to rend friendships, for
pride: one of the seven deadly
love: pure

[_JadeRain_]

Love: Pure
It will return
But in greater numbers
Give your heart and recieve a heart
Someday

[mazHur]

Someday
you will be mine
you have stolen my heart
now what is left of me without
you,love

[littlewing53]

you love
i watch nearby
secret hopes realized
soon together without delay
i wait

[firefangled]

I wait
anticipate,
love is a varied thing,
the kneading of it, ketchup edge,
sliced thick

[littlewing53]

sliced thick
red tomatoe
avocado sliced thin
together between two slices
perfect

[ampoule]

perfect
this recipe
juicy, so flavorful
open up and let me feed you
this thought

[mazHur]

this thought
that you are mine
keeps me awake all night
i gaze at the stars and look for
my luck

[firefangled]

my luck,
I love home cooked,
raised on the sweet comfort
of cornbread, slow hand stews, grits with
red eye

[mazHur]

red eye,
red hair, red lips,
red cheeks, red this red that
red is my favorite color
my rose!

[symphony]

My rose
is vivid red
when the thorns make it bleed,
is virgin white when drops of rain
purge it,

salmon--
when winds flow by
making it shiver, in
fits of lust. But your touch makes it
go black.

[mazHur]

purge it,
unless you want
to get your heart blackened
with the effluent of raw rust
and dust

[mazHur]

go black
like ebony
and sit on the violin
of my heart like a sleek fret board
with strings

[ampoule]

with strings
I pull your arms
but no puppet are you
your arms are already around
my waist

[Walja]

The cold
among crystals
that shine let air unfold
within my mind and make me feel
colorblind.

[Walja]

ehm sorry.. i somehow screwed up the game...

[Walja]

ok once more...

my waist
hurts when you push
so hide your claws and wait
to see red stream majestically
shining

[schadenfreude]

Shining
stars are dreary,
the moon is just the same.
Darling, we are all cliches when
we love.

[ampoule]

we love
in tiny ways
but the result is large
like eating cream puffs on a cloud
heaven

[firefangled]

heaven,
we make it real,
faith ain't what we say, love,
it's what we do, put some muscle
in it

[Pendragon]

in it
a grain of truth,
perhaps an entire meal,
depends a lot on what you seek—
you find

[firefangled]

you find
what moves your heart
in small places and things,
a bird, a laugh, colors made new,
made bright

[ampoule]

made bright
my eyes, my smile
you did it, you culprit
they are like flashing neon lights
you're here

[littlewing53]

you're here
amongst the stars
across the sky you breathe
from horizon to horizon
you are

[TheFifthElement]

you are
the soul speaking
of wonder and rainbows,
a sullen sky waking over
water.

[Walja]

water
in undergrownd
river just glittering
silently in the echo sound
whispers

[littlewing53]

whispers
barely spoken
a sound so sweetly sung
there just beneath the river edge
a song

[PrinceMyshkin]

Whispers
from lovers far
away sometimes reach us
just like “I love you” shouted in
our ears

[littlewing53]

oh dear...

our ears
attached liked twins
hear sounds of love approach
sensitive and alluring wait
to kiss

[ampoule]

to kiss
the face of God
kiss your fingers and place
them into the clouds and he will
capture

[firefangled]

capture
the light of you,
make you see it, then act,
sing, make a poem, paint your life
holy

[mazHur]

you're here
but I cannot
see or feel any red
hair or a reflection of it
My God!

[mazHur]

sorry,,,time lag problem

holy,
sacred, so what
cows are not forgiven
for their milk,meat and hide by men
all over

[ampoule]

all over
let's play charades
tell me what it sounds like
how many words or syllables
help me

[mazHur]

all over
let's play charades
tell me what it sounds like
how many words or syllables
help me

help me
these deceptions
are no joy for my heart
paper flowers grow not in love
gardens

Zzzzzzzzzz

[ampoule]

Oh NO! Not love again! lol :D

of love
hearts and flowers
steamy showers, back rubs
serenade me with your oboe
oh no

[firefangled]

gardens
mine are dying,
they thrive on different things,
even within one love, many
words live

[firefangled]

I give up

[mazHur]

oh no
don't play music
to these over-fed ears
so weary of the food of love
Oh, love!

[ampoule]

We now pause for a short commercial break.

DON'T GIVE UP DON'T GIVE UP

And now, back to your regularly scheduled program.

[mazHur]

words live
but you cannot
hear them with your earthly
ears already dinned with dead noise
words die

[ampoule]

gardens
mine are dying,
they thrive on different things,
even within one love, many
words live

words live
and bubble forth
blow in this little wand
and watch them tickle my earlobes
popping

[firefangled]

We now pause for a short commercial break.

DON'T GIVE UP DON'T GIVE UP

And now, back to your regularly scheduled program.

:lol: you crack me up!

words die
without kisses
without warm baths, candles,
and the long night with its caught sighs
kiss me

[firefangled]

words live
and bubble forth
blow in this little wand
and watch them tickle my earlobes
popping

popping,
I hear you laugh,
trickling down, I taste them,
like sweet wine on my lips, pour on
pour on

[mazHur]

popping
out of their cups
they look like two pears
ogling from the bough of sweet love
your eyes!

[ampoule]

ya know...we're getting awful close to some simulpostagasms here. ;)

[ampoule]

Oh my gosh....#2061 and #2062 :blush: :blush:

[mazHur]

kiss me
she said and brought
her cute lips close to mine
I felt like some lightening has
struck me

[mazHur]

ya know...we're getting awful close to some simulpostagasms here. ;)

be happy, it's your goodluck !! lol

[ampoule]

popping,
I hear you laugh,
trickling down, I taste them,
like sweet wine on my lips, pour on
pour on

pour on
the sweet honey
stir me with a large spoon
make me dizzy in your glass of
sweet tea




popping
out or their cups
they look like two pears
ogling from the bough of sweet love
your eyes

your eyes
should not go there
cover them with clover
listen now, bees drinking nectar
honey

[firefangled]

sweet tea,
honey melding,
the glass overflowing,
I catch it with my tongue, the spill
stir again

[ampoule]

kiss me
she said and brought
her cute lips close to mine
I felt like some lightening has
struck me

struck me
down like a hound
now I'm bound for glory
come to me my highwayman and
save me

[firefangled]

save me!
comes on horseback,
comes to her by moonlight,
the highwayman in the moonlight,
tonight

[Il Penseroso]

tonight
in sprinkled bliss
gaze on stars' silver glow
and map the story's gentle turn
inside.

[schadenfreude]

Oh no!
The cat wears shoes.
The dog is counting stones.
It's enough to turn this blue world
around.

[schadenfreude]

opps, sorry I read the poems on the wrong page.

[symphony]

not a problem, schaden. :)

From Penseroso's:
inside
the stormy slits
of your eyes, did i see
the slightest trace of fear, of fear
growing?...


From Schaden's:
around
the world in eight
days now, wouldnt Verne be
amazed at how quickly we are
growing?....

[firefangled]

growing,
the palm leaf peels,
like a snake, like we have,
but refuse to think as one with
snake, palm

[mazHur]

snake,palm
yes, I carry
snakes in my palm of hand
they sneak out of my cuffs and sleeves
and bite

[firefangled]

and bite,
does the winter,
our ears and nose, does float
our breathing, silent in the air -
white birds

[Pendragon]

white birds,
snowy egrets--
standing tall in canals--
longing deeply for Hatteras
again...

[TheFifthElement]

again
I find myself
on the outside looking
fondly at round smiling faces
unknown

[firefangled]

unknown
soldier, your day
does not enough repay
the ragged way you live for our
easy sleep

[Walja]

easy sleep,
redeemed eyestrain
from the luminous day
the night has replaced washing light
away

[mazHur]

ea-sy sleep
costs heavily
on lives in time of war
young soldiers, civilians die
dog's death

[mazHur]

away
from home they went
to catch the terrorist
no weapons of mass destruction
are found

[ampoule]

are found
little trinkets
ones that you left behind
carefully I rebury them
in sand

[firefangled]

http://www.karenalkalay-gut.com/crap.htm

in sand,
wrote Adelaide
two, four, six, eight and two,
rest her soul on these windless nights
alone

[ampoule]

interesting article. unsung poets. there are probably many. even here.

alone
is the write time
to right the things within
churning, burning, begging, crying
escape

[Walja]

Escape
from the dusty,
dirrty winter falling
into your dreams of indigo
and sleep.

[firefangled]

and sleep,
where I wander,
down the roads, in the rooms
of fantasy, darkest, deepest
heartbeats

[Pendragon]

heartbeats--
two become one--
I hold you close to me.
In disbelief that you chose me--
my love...

[ampoule]

my love
scattered around
like yellow chicken feed
corny with a peck peck here but
more there

[mazHur]

more there
it moves , kisses
rosy cheeks of a rose,
morning breeze sucks rouge from its cheeks
so sweet

[firefangled]

so sweet,
mermaid singing, moonlit
water carrying her along,
listen

[symphony]

listen
not only to
the melodious cuckoo
who can never be held onto,
nor seen...

listen
to the harsh cries
of the early rooster,
wake up, call your soul to rise, 'gainst
all lies
.....

[ampoule]

all lies
allies when scared
but they won't defend you
they'll leave you standing in the field
alone

[Pendragon]

alone?
perhaps I am
perhaps you cannot see
those who come when the night is still...
my friends...

[TheFifthElement]

my friends
whisper behind
their hands, in corners of
rooms, staring. Paranoia breeds
within.

[mazHur]

within
without all's same
you are my heart, my love
I love you, love you, love you dear
come back !

[ampoule]

come back
you forgot me
surely an oversight
I'm sure you would have remembered
someday

[mazHur]

someday
separation
will come to an end and
kind wind will blow to kiss the lips
of leaves

[firefangled]

someday,
I will wake up,
sit on my front porch swing,
listening to the Swallows sing,
and write

[firefangled]

of leaves
and simple things,
sunbeams on the water,
the red ivy climbing the tree,
this rain

[mazHur]

this rain
will send new life
into the scorch-ed earth
flowers will dance with joy,birds sing
love-songs

[symphony]

love-songs,
as time goes by,
will fade, empty words die.
but this moment lives, when i sing
for you...

[mazHur]

for you..
all that I have
for me nothing at all
not even a small word of love
not fair

[ampoule]

not fair
to be alone
when there is such a need
not only to receive, but more
to give

[mazHur]

to give
you what you want
to satisfy your needs
let us sit together again
and talk

[littlewing53]

and talk
hearing nothing
but notes of loving care
reminding each other of times
yet known

[Pendragon]

yet known
by very few
the magic energy
poetic voice releases, dulcet
music...

[ampoule]

music
makes my world round
firm, fully packed, joyful
with harmonious pheromones
filling

[mazHur]

filling
the atmosphere
of my heart's universe
the fragrance of your love descends
my soul

[Pendragon]

my soul
has no hope here
among these earthly lands--
transformed, transported heavenward
shall rest...

[littlewing53]

shall rest
amongst the fields
where green grasses grow tall
hiding hidden far from those eyes
that see

[packersfan]

[to] see
is true enough
but to believe in things,
that's not seen, is magical
and bliss

[Pendragon]

and bliss
must be sought out
one man's heaven, another's hell--
enjoy everything to fullness...
death comes

[mazHur]

death comes
wrapped in black dress
carrying a black whip in hand
lashing!

[packersfan]

Lashing
Out like a whip.
Slavery is no more.
And I hope it'll never arise
Again.

[ampoule]

again
I come to you
coveting your blessing
you can make me new, it's your new
power

[TheFifthElement]

power
stretches across
the land with great steel arms
linked, defending soldiers protect
our homes

[mazHur]

our homes
once paradise
are swept away by storms
risen in the Bay of Bengal
Oh, sad!

[firefangled]

oh sad
distance, time/space,
we must be there, a place
where, face to face, amazed,
we touch

[Pendragon]

we touch,
the magic's there
time has not erased love
Sown grey in our hair, not our hearts
my love...

[mazHur]

oh sad
distance, time/space,
we must be there, a place
where, face to face, amazed,
we touch

we touch
like petals two
kissing one another's
lips, oblivious of all around
and melt

[mazHur]

my love...
how should I say
i live only by you
by the ecstasy of your feel
your love

[ampoule]

your love
of life through words
touches my heart and soul
so that in my mind I am there
with you

[mazHur]

your love
of life through words
touches my heart and soul
so that in my mind I am there
with you

this is superb ! almost a precise of my earlier poem

with you
i vow to live
like a cotyledon
of deep consolidated love
sprouting

[packersfan]

sprouting
like flowers in
the garden of eden
make sure to be aware of the
serpent

[ampoule]

serpent
please don't bite me
oh, a nibble perhaps
be sure to leave some of my flesh
for him

[mazHur]

for him
wait these two eyes
even after I'm dea;l
eat every thing of me,O serpent
but eyes!

[headfullofpanic]

but eyes,
why do you watch
the evil moves of pain
that circle in my ugly mind?
awake!

[schadenfreude]

Awake!
The alarm rings
screaming wake up! Wake UP!
And cursing, I tear from dreams to
reality.

[mazHur]

reality
does not live in
deceptively shining
mirrors which only reflect what's
virtual !

[firefangled]

virtual ?
it is too true,
when I awake, the taste
of her kisses and sighs, I smile
all day

[ampoule]

all day
the wind of thought
blows through me beckoning
a pause in my activity
tickling

[Pendragon]

tickling
in my sore throat
running eyes, running nose,
coughing, hoarse, hardly talk, hard to
breathe right..

[firefangled]

breathe right,
I say, slow down,
I trace your lips again,
my finger memorizing them,
wishing

[packersfan]

wishing
upon a star
goes unlimitly far
when you truly just believe in
magic

[firefangled]

magic -
real or unreal?
fire from sticks, fire from rocks,
a galaxy with poetry,
spinning

[packersfan]

spinning
tops for children.
let their innocence be spun.
for once that top's spinning has stopped
it's gone.

[ampoule]

it's gone
that old sorrow
I've opened the windows
making room for a new tenant
rent free

[firefangled]

rent free,
sometimes we are
tennants in our own lives -
Ah! RENT FREE, say it from treetops,
Swaying!

[mazHur]

wishing
you all the best
even if you hate me
my love for you is forever
stone-heart !

[Pendragon]

stone-heart.
he will break you.
tenderness hides the truth.
no love except love of sadism...
loves tears...

[mazHur]

loves tears...
she hates to smile
give her a sniff of love
perhaps she may become her own
and laugh !

[TheFifthElement]

and laugh
with abandon -
unreserved emotions
overflow like the bath you and
I shared.

[ampoule]

I shared
too much, too soon
he thought he had it all
but I had reserves, yes, new things
surprise

[firefangled]

surprize,
candles, music,
a slow dance of sight, sound,
indulgences, the bath, massage,
relax

[_JadeRain_]

Relax
There is always
Tomorrow to finish
Cooking Becasue Tanksgiving is
Thursday

[mazHur]

Thursday
is just a day
like any other day
unless you come and share with me
our love

[Etienne]

Our love
in this bottle
shall not weep for long and
gently shall be deflowered in
cul sec!

[firefangled]

cul sec,
oh help me, French
teacher, it's been so long,
sounds like liquor, but deflower?
next please

[mazHur]

next please
I'm in hurry
just fifteen minutes left
for the flight to take off for Rome
hurry !

[firefangled]

hurry?
I like walking
in the deep woods, time slows
and the day is night before you
notice

[mazHur]

notice
I have taken
of your beautiful lips
It would be cruel not to kiss them
with love

[Pendragon]

with love
comes awkwardness...
do I touch, will she like--
confused chaos somehow settles--
a kiss..

[mazHur]

a kiss..
is a blessing
of lips which are first made
by nature in creation of
fetus

[ampoule]

fetus
ever growing
like love that must be born
surrounded in soft protection
sleeping

[mazHur]

sleeping
snugged in my arms
I caress her red hair
she looks up and tries to smile
pussy cat !

[Etienne]

sleeping
snugged in my arms
I caress her red hair
she looks up and tries to smile
pussy cat !

Pussy
cat is not right
two syllables only
should be this line of poetry
you write

*I changed it too late the first version, which was used in the next poem was:

Pussy
cat is cheating
two syllables only
should be contained if we follow
the rules

[mazHur]

the rules
are rules no doubt
but when it comes to love
a pussy doubles up into
a cat!

[Etienne]

the rules
are rules no doubt
but when it comes to love
a pussy doubles up into
a cat!

A cat!
while so sneaky
cannot avoid the laws
of jungle, physics or poetry
ever

[mazHur]

ever
this thought occurred
to you that felines are
not only cats but have genders
pussies!

[Etienne]

Pussies!
when they're women's
then they'e good arguments
but a cat's, sorry, ain't worth squat
to me

[ampoule]

to me
the perfect day
is to be full enough
but still hungry for your second
helping

[firefangled]

helping
one, delicious!
go slow for the second,
try something new, savor each taste,
mmm mmm

[mazHur]

mmm mmm
enjoy my dear
have as many servings
as you like until you are full
and dead !

[Pendragon]

and dead
arose pallid
in blood stained shrouds
marching forward with blazing orbs
ghost birds...

turkeys--
slain before, for
Thanksgiving Feasts eaten--
alive by eldrich fire advanced:
stuff this!

[ampoule]

stuff this
in your pocket
and take it out later
holding it to your lips for sweet
kisses

[mazHur]

kisses
began the show
and things began moving
scenes started changing and brought in
climax

[Susan Sonnen]

climax
brings with it hope,
for what has happened once
might happen once again...even
better...

[Pendragon]

Better?
I think so, yes.
Much improved here lately.
Living daily one at a time--
chin up!

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/HearttoHeart-1.gif

[Susan Sonnen]

chin up!
expectations
reaching for the heavens
make dreams thrive and passion blossom
anew.

[ampoule]

anew
is what you are
awashed with glowing sun
warming your beautiful hands for
writing

[firefangled]

writing,
make no mistake,
is a touch, as roses
so pale in moonlight, nonetheless,
are red

[mazHur]

are red
like roses fresh
the petals of your lips
let me kiss them my Juliet
and die

[Wyoecho]

and die
not yet to live
this mortal coil trod
while failing eyes are closed at last
no God?

[Pendragon]

No God?
No, tell another.
Does not wash with me, now.
This butterfly is designed for
one plant

the worm
eats the leaves,
cocoons, transforms, flies--
butterflies return feast flowers...
cycle...

[ampoule]

cycle
around the block
pick me up at noon please
a chilly willy picnic will
warm fast

[mazHur]

warm fast
the safe haven
of your long loving arms
please hold me tight in your warm grip
all night

[thescholar]

all night
chaos rages
silent screams do echo
yet the virgin child never stirs
last sleep

[mazHur]

last sleep
the longest sleep
is the fate of all things
what happens after the sleep ends
god knows

[thescholar]

god knows
if im lucky
pull the trigger, find out
seems the barrel wasn't empty
too late

[mazHur]

too late
for you to come
Oh, my dear crusader!
we have already lost battle
of love

[Wyoecho]

of love
I know not how
I only know the pain
flowers grow in daylight’s sunshine
with rain

[thescholar]

of love
you speak with spite
you speak of bleeding hearts
pains, and many wasted years
a shame.

[ampoule]

of love
I know not how
I only know the pain
flowers grow in daylight’s sunshine
with rain

with rain
I wash my hair
then dry in daytime breeze
ready for the scents of this night
of love



of love
you speak with spite
you speak of bleeding hearts
pains, and many wasted years
a shame

a shame
to miss out on
sunsets entertaining
your eyes and tickling your good soul
please look

[Etienne]

please look
have all the muses
become Venus' own slaves?
Enter Thiasus; fauns, pans, nymphs,
Bacchus!

[firefangled]

Bacchus,
dangerous game
you played, but time ran out,
the poets won, moonlight lovers,
writing

[Pendragon]

writing.
humming a tune.
Saw Valkyries riding
horses down The West Wind under
the Moon...

[firefangled]

the Moon
woke you, daylight
it seemed to be, how bright
it seemed to grow while reflecting
your eyes

[thescholar]

the moon
silk-spun cirlce
man, blue cheese, high tide?
what untold secrets do you hold
for me

[ampoule]

the Moon
woke you, daylight
it seemed to be, how bright
it seemed to grow while reflecting
your eyes

your eyes
they puzzle me
behind their misty veil
look deeply into mine and see
the moon



the moon
silk-spun circle
man, blue cheese, high tide
what untold secrets do you hold
for me

for me
there is this hope
to feel a loving touch
a tap on the shoulder and I
will turn

[mazHur]

the moon
turned into stone
lost its light and lustre
when you showed up on the terrace
my love

will turn
night into day
the soft touch of your hand
come and brighten my days and nights
my moon

[Pendragon]

my moon
lies far out there
verdant Endor supports
lifeforms never seen in your dreams—
awaits

poet
to come and write
describe them all.
paint with words such picture perfect—
unknown...

[packersfan]

unknown
heavens above
we think we really know
but I don't think we truly know
we wait

[firefangled]

we wait,
and time does not,
how cruel to leave us
chasing, then come pushing us from
behind

[ampoule]

we wait,
and time does not,
how cruel to leave us
chasing, then come pushing us from
behind

AMEN!! :)


behind
is what I'll be
if I don't hurry there
and make my presence known throughout
this land

[V.Jayalakshmi]

This land is mine,sole owner and proud too,

What if this gets outlawed?

I knew it not,for laws are but man made,

And I will hold with pride this mother earth.


Rock me not for I am fragile,

A roused farmer am I today.

I grow flowers, spices too.

I shall always hold this earth with love.:)

I'm afraid this is not a cinquain. You should probably post this under Personal Poetry.
For this thread you are supposed to begin your cinquain with the last two words of the person before you, five lines with the following syllable count:
2-4-6-8-2

I hope you can join us.

[mazHur]

this land
of pinkish tinge
borrowed from the red sun
is too far for me to behold
with love

[Pendragon]

with love,
one can heal wounds,
break down dividing walls
courage blossoms under flaming
tests, love...

[firefangled]

tests love,
all these cinquains,
of many endings that could be,
it reigns

[Pendragon]

it reigns,
one or other--
Hate or Love: one ruler.
Mankind exists to serve masters:
Choose One:

[mazHur]

Choose One
or take them all
Ezra Pound truly said
we are not ruled by rulers but
Eunuchs !

[ampoule]

Eunuchs
are people too
just like us who voted
or did NOT vote thinking ours were
bigger

[mazHur]

bigger
or smaller
does not matter. The knife
is a knife if it cuts through hard
with ease!

[Pendragon]

with ease
the artist draws,
sketching shadows, sunlight--
merging effortlessly the whole
portrait...

[mazHur]

portrait...
what's a portrait
to do with your feelings
it sees and keeps smiling at you
quietly

[ampoule]

quietly (bad bad mazHur ;) isn't that three syllables? picky picky picky):D
I watch your mood
your face dark and troubled
I want to start over, know what
went wrong

[mazHur]

quietly (bad bad mazHur ;) isn't that three syllables? picky picky picky):D
I watch your mood
your face dark and troubled
I want to start over, know what
went wrong

good, good, good, Amp. The pronunciation of a word and the 'point' where you place the stress depends on the number of teeth you have in your mouth !;)

went wrong
nothing with me;
only you were skeptic
about me, about my warm love
Love-heart!

[TheFifthElement]

love-heart
dissolving on
my tongue. Words of sweetness
ingrained into my tastebuds say
be mine

[mazHur]

be mine
says the coy maid
but when I try to touch
her she moves away and says, No,
Not now!

[Etienne]

Not now!
cruel headache
today like yesterday
and you know, this week of the month
good night

[ampoule]

good night
I wish it was
but there aren't enough stars
to go around and help me to
forget

[mazHur]

forget
the past, relive
the present moment,dear
myriads of moments contains one
moment

[ampoule]

moment
precious moment
you are waiting for me
but I cannot take what I don't
deserve

[mazHur]

deserve
a kiss , don't I?
Come hither and kiss me
until all my senses become
your lot

[ampoule]

your lot
may I use it
put together a game
slow pitch, fast ball, curve ball, but no
strikes out

[Wyoecho]

Your Lot
lest you choose more
will result in much pain
endless rainly days lacking time
for me

[mazHur]

for me
no twinkling star;
for you the galaxy;
why fate is so unkind to me
Oh, God!

[mazHur]

strikes out
slow pitch, fast ball,
curve ball, spins and guggly,
whole lot is at your disposal,
Begin

[ampoule]

begin
now the clock ticks
I watch and chew my nails
my right leg hits against the desk
hate tests

[firefangled]

hate tests
us all at times,
cruelty comes creeping
with its reasons, but love creates
kindness

[mazHur]

kindness
begets kindness
but I had to be cruel
during surgery to rid you
of sore !

[TheFifthElement]

of sore
and broken dreams
I am a prisoner,
troubled by nightmares in which you
leave me.

[firefangled]

leave me
to my blackbirds
and paper skies, night comes
with its fire and ice, I'll forget
your lies

[symphony]

your lies
wont make me stop
believing in people,
you hardly ever meant so much
to me....

[firefangled]

to me
there is one soul,
in which I wander rapt,
one light held in a dark hand,
loosely

[TheFifthElement]

loosely
fitted nightdress
grazing the floor. Moonlight
illuminates your curves, I reach
to touch

[Susan Sonnen]

to touch,
thereby, to know
secrets buried decades
ago, bringing to light lost dreams
of yore

[ampoule]

of yore
remembering
and perhaps forgetting
whichever is most convenient
for you

[mazHur]

for you
i seem to live
for you I wait to die
but you are so uncaring. sweet
what's wrong?

[firefangled]

what's wrong?
come rest your head
and tell it all to me,
worries are like caged birds, they need
to fly

[mazHur]

to fly
with broken wings
would be a miracle
but with you as my flying mare
all's well

[_JadeRain_]

All's well
That ends well is
The way Shakespeare put it
Screw courage to the sticking place
Read On!

[mazHur]

Read On!
The book of love
and learn to feel the beats
of my restless heart that yearns for
your love

[FacialFracture]

Your love
smells like women,
Or maybe it's your mouth;
You always stink of stale lipstick
At night.

[ampoule]

at night
I think of you
in balmy land gazing
the sky looking back at you, I'm
refreshed

[firefangled]

refreshed
the weather's here,
clouds lift in the cool wind,
so many bright stars watching, like
your eyes

[littlewing53]

your eyes
reflect the breathe
a thousand days exist
bear the weight of secrets untold
your lips

[mazHur]

your lips
like rose petals
your eyes like smiling life
your gait like an anaconda
in rut..........

[littlewing53]

in rut
we find the pure
covered in ignorance
filled with lasting hungar unknown
till then

[mazHur]

till then
let us promise
to keep our promise
the promise of promising to
promise

[schadenfreude]

Promise
that the sky will
fall down; that the sun will
explode, because then we will all
be safe.

[ampoule]

be safe
wrap yourself up
here, use this bubble wrap
then I can snap, crackle, pop you
for fun

[TheFifthElement]

for fun
I hide under
the stairs, listening to
the sound of your voice pitching in
the dark.

[firefangled]

the dark,
no idea,
no light, no door, I'm lost,
wandering, hands out, where is it...
the light

[symphony]

The light
always flickers
at the other end, 'las! --
All the dark silhouettes save themselves
for me...

[mazHur]

the light
is before you
open your eyes and see
the seven colors of rainbow
kissing.
