Somewhere, the color red
wishes she was more white
like the fresh new petals
on the lily tucked over your ear.

OOO, great way to kick things off, Sam. I suppose I'll give it a spin.

Lashing out in anger
like a viper's sting
causing more trouble
and shit I didn't need.

Yummy, sweet, smooth,
I love it every morning!
Please never stop buying me
Chocolate milk!

Seriously!

:D As I was reading that, I was hoping it wasn't going where I thought it was going to go.

I rub the small, fuzzy thing
and she purrs in delight.
It makes me so happy,
to pet my new kitten.

:P I had to try it.

LOL except that 'kitten' really is codeword for something else...and to my knowledge, chocolate milk isn't!


Pestle
and mortar
your soul
is now in my
soup.


Man I'm random today. And hungry!

Miss Lunar, yours are really good. They flow freely, without strain and you never use old, tired, worn out metaphors.

These buds are for you......

Thanks Boomer! You know, others can jump in here, it's not just for me and Derek! :) He just wanted a thread for random poems, so I started one.

:flowers: I'm told men appreciate flowers too, sometimes, so here ya go. Share it with the wifey.

Angry
the controversy of 'team player'
versus 'standing alone' -

at what point
must the individual,
exhausted from watching
the stupidity, the politics,
deviate from the whole?

I believe my time as 'leader'
is coming
to a close.

Misinformed
and left sulking
over the milk you spilled
on your way out the door
with all my things

Ouch!


Criss-cross, criss-cross
I am reminded by our woven fingers
of peanut butter cookies.

thick golden syrup
from the corpse of the lion
"out of the strong came forth sweetness" *
random thoughts, sprung from those
peanut butter cookies !



* slogan from Tate and Lyle golden syrup

Sweet like honey
its golden taste on my lips
the sugary-sweet residue
left from your kiss.

:blushing: awww Derek, sweet!

cute Djinnae!


On top of goslings
sits mother's majestic wing
folded into the epitome
of 'protection'.

Aww, Samie = mama goose :D

Running in circles,
God, my lungs burn
good thing I only have to do this
once every year.

Is that the PT test thing, D? lol I'm not sure if each branch calls it something different...

Bring the pineapple
bring the coconut
bring the liquor
and let's get crazy, baby!

(I have no idea.)

Yeah, Samie...it was the PT test. Sounds like a party for two going on there!

Stacks and stacks of postcards
strewn about the floor
to add to this waking misery
of not knowing who they're for.

OOOO I love postcards! Sounds...agonizing, though.


Breaking
into this tight-knit web of lies
is easier
than I thought.

'I am yours,' I whispered...
knowing
that I am not.

What's always funny with these is it seems easier to add on to what someone else has started then to write something new. Maybe I'll try that one of these days.

I scream
only to hear nothing
except the slow beat of my heart
freezing into...

Something more then I ever wanted
my only regret
not offering you icicle protection

...icicle protection! That's sweet!!! Love it! Add on, I certainly don't mind!

He left me here
frozen in my own dome of ignorance...

a girl cannot change
what she doesn't know
is wrong.

Could he have said something more,
something to save us?

Wow, I really like that...can't think of anything to add to it, but I like that a lot.

Keep twisting it,
the knife you shoved in my back
your ignorance,
the reason my heart is black.

Sipping
the life from your marrow

I will twist the knife
in good time.

Blech
my stomach aches
I knew I shouldn't have eaten
Taco Bell

To Derek:

Today I ate White Castle for lunch. And I didn't save you a crumb. :)
Hope you don't mind,

-Sam


Hope you like my letter!

Heh, thanks Sam! :P

The crunch of plastic
The cheer of the fans
The heat of the rivalry
God, I love Sunday

Waves
of NAUSEUA
consume me

and I vomit again. I wish someone would clean my house.

lol I think that's a soapbox topic.

ok, something a little better...

Slipping on the way
you sauntered
into my bedroom,

the candle casts a glowy shadow
that illuminates
your idleness.

ooo, sexy yet subtle...I like it.

Drifting
into and out of sleep,
unable to breathe,
unable to dream.

Falling,
into and out of darkness,
unable to escape,
'til my soul's at ease.

Whoa, I love that. Awesome.

Lift this
from my shoulders

take it all away

Lift this
from my shadows

so I may embrace the day...

I'm rhyming just because I can
and I kind of like it that way!! lol

heh, you're such a dork sometimes!

MEW!
Shut up, kitty!
MEW MEW!
I said shut the hell up, kitty!
Why do you always want to play,
when I have to go to bed.

Sorry, I'm tired and I really should go to bed...

My lips are cracked,
my throat parched

and the water from your canteen
sours in my stomach.


That's all it is now, maybe it will bloom later. I was hoping to find a fun topic in here, I did. I like brief poetry, and I see several nice examples of it present.

Ooooo that's an interesting move, Graciela. Even if it doesn't blossom, it has a subtle power on it's own.


Expelling
the contents
of my internal pocket.

Three times
my body has refused
to play fair.

You'd think it gets easier,
but it doesn't.

Conversations
innocent and subtle
with no remorse
or reaction.
