    There is a ache in my chest
    which will not go away
    right next to my heart
    and there it will stay

    He left in the morning
    but don't you see
    he left something behind
    that thing was me
    His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
    And you're the best thing that he's ever seen

    Have I missed the meaning of this?

    Anyway, here is my submission:

    Restore silence in a perfect world
    Where perfect world may not work
    Only speech is the fabric which unfurl
    Millions of years of evolution lurk

    Oh, what splendid differences you have!
    How about a war?
    Beyond the clouds, my mind wanders in the stars.

    So now I know it is meant to be very amusing.

    I still don't get it!

    Sorry to sound silly, can anyone explain it in rough terms?

    Is it a "cry wolf" scenario? or something else?

    mazHur, can you explain?

    summer solstice
    soothing poltice
    after rains intruding, thoughtless

    fall equinox
    confused paradox
    leaving a times-weathering flumox

    be it so humble
    my trident for a hackneyed
    ultra-light slogan
    a storey for the learned
    and short among us

    I was lost
    before
    I was found

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    Scream into the wind
    release my sin
    feel the rage
    feed my blood
    slip away and give in
    to the sleeping one
    starved and hungry
    ready to feed

    It feels so good
    to take the backseat
    and play awhile
    in this other skin
    that has no bounds
    and laughs and grins

    Taste the pain
    upon another's lips
    and let the reign
    within the wild tempest

    Let loose the chains
    and fear not the shadow
    but embrace
    the chaotic power.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    torrential forecast

    precipitous storm clouds
    en route
    to ominous

    Shade of Regret

    Surreptitious lapse the clouds at night,
    A howl unearthly pervades the stillness;
    A mournful spectre craves the light
    And veers into the moon’s stray brilliance .
    A touch of dolor wanes remiss
    That springs from spent sweet labours,
    Or wretched eloquent favours
    Evincing fruit! Lo! Intriguing savours!

    A rising tide
    rages within

    Journey to
    tranqulity
    while the storm
    blows

    Loosely Speaking

    gleaning lust
    that waxing golden globe
    of daylight
    releasing into a
    light and breezy
    pattern
    of mounting gossip
    that edges
    halfway into the workaday.
