Stoned brain

Lapping death breathless,in an another moonless lake
motionless black,reckless black
silent stones,in cornered echoes of bones
collasping the earth dream,
nocturnally blight.

word count-25

I'm blinded by the sight,
Death creeps into my mind,
Leaving everything so dark,
Broken heart,broken trust.
Countless nightmares,
My own grave i begin to stare.
Plucked soul,so bare,
I'm empty inside,
Hollow life.

Has the exquisite corpse been accepted as started already? It seems that no one has followed the rules yet. I'd like to start or continue where the accepted poetry has left off... wherever that might be.

King Poet, thanxx fr the post.
But again, not in the format n rules I had requested for...which is not v.difficult I suppose for excellent n quick creative minds here
I am sorry, bit I am taking this post for continuing the chain...but not for trophy consideration. Since two posts are allowed per poet, kindly try out once again, you can do well!

the incomplete verse(s) as below would be considered for the next Poet please.

" Plucked soul,so bare,
I'm empty inside,..."

I'm empty inside,..."

the only thing i'm unclear on is the fifth line? if i'm not posting it why am i coming up with it? i don't want to rain on the parade but i will just tell you that i came up with a fifth line if no one's going to see it.

Sincerely, that practical dreamer

fuck it let me just try it

Plucked soul, so bare
I'm empty inside
Devoid, oh the light
The dark, heatless nights
Were it not for the fire
I'd die here in silence
Yeah, who would hear me fall

LunaObscura, could get your valid point here.
Original idea was to have the fifth liner crafted, but not to be published, so it doesnt have any influence in the next poet's creative take off.

But then, on second-thoughts,  if its ur hard-worked baby, better to display it...but please highlight in a different colour.

I would correct my thread rules in this accordance,
Thanks for your inputs.

And plz make suggested correction in ur entry ..i.e., enter the fifth line but highlight in a red/ different font colour.

The next poet should only consider the verse before the highlighted final verse.

hope its not complicating..n would like the thread to give best creativity:|



(the older posts need not worry at this point now. still would get their merit!)

Good-work. well done on that! thank you.

The next poet needs to connsider line just above highligted,

in this case,

"Were it not for the fire
 I'd die here in silence"

poet Anonymous



Were it not for the fire
I`d die here in silence
Behind battered bolted doors
Vast void, vultures tearing
At the bleeding amputated heart
Quench my thirst for your blackened lips

Nocturnal nausea ignites the night

quench my thirst for your blackened lips
baby baby baby
i sleep in the freezer most nights its got to where
i cant always remove my hand from my crack in the morning
when net curtains billow and there arent any curtains there and when
i remember how i just wanted to not be a monumental failure for once
and the other me holds a knife shaped key to unlock my ribcage

let you down slowly
crawl out of there slowly
through the dead tv screen
i had face time with the other side
they had better things to do

i had face time with the other side
snuck behind the veil and back again
the whole time my inadvertant disguise
slammin slurpees at the seven eleven
trying to reverse the mere prize of my brain being fried
