late night in a diner
and somehow a dog
has taken itself & its tail considerably away
into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
behind: me, wag.

Thank you, Il Perseroso. I started to ask you what that meant, then didn't. These are a little harder to write, but I hope someone will take you up on the challenge.If not, then I will. I really enjoy writing them-occasionally!
the crackle-flicker
of dying fluorescent bulb
illuminates the
old stains of coffee mugs and
nicotine coated counters
the flight home

Challenge accepted! O.K., here goes...
weary, game over
my ears buzz unpleasantly
who can sleep under light?
unbidden, my eyes swivel
a grotesque gargoyle watches
Sunday morning 4 a.m.
It's cold as hellheat
Without the sun I'm useless
But still observing
Though I can feel the burning
Mithra's light I cannot see
writing
I think if you make a signature, you should inspire some emotion in someone else. I also think it would be pretentious for me to think I could do that.
first came papyrus
then the pen scribbled on it
speech got solid form
literature, history, science,arts
knowledge got preserved by hand
madness

curled into a ball,
eyes fixed in a glassy stare,
humming tunelessly,
and sweaty hair a tangle.
lost, separate from the "sane".
lost at sea

suddenly i met
a girl untrodden paths
she was beautiful
prettier than she looked in dreams
I looked at her in silence
dream unfulfilled

i did cry out, young
as i was, young and yearning,
yearning and turning
to the everafter lands,
cried and slept, to dream again.
misheard lyrics

...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.
I'm a sailor man
Hey Ho, I'm a sailor man!
come aboard my ship
we'll dance and dine all night
promises the tailor-man!

You've just gained a layer of soul for admitting that.Originally Posted by Il Penseroso

light elevated,
my swizzling, make-believe ride,
that sun, heat so bright,
limpid whispers, tentacles,
blooms, waves of shadow, sea - shells.
a bridge over a freeway
"Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house, they are company and don't let me catch you remarking on their ways like you were so high and mighty."
hissing and rushing;
a mechanical deluge
dividing our worlds
rages below this concrete
span. i would cross if i dared.
idle hands
