Roam
 
In the dark and dusty attic  
her memories of him  
nothing short of sporadic  
strewn about in no particular fashion  
 
Trying them on as if hand sewn theatre costumes  
she plays dressup like a little girl  
in this least pleasant of backstage dressing rooms  
 
returning to a simpler day and age when  
the men sailed overseas to combat  
and lonely women yearned for their return home  
 
when the men fought evils of the world  
wherever these may be at  
and hands of lonely women
resisted temptations to stray  
 
the urge to wander  
 
roam

A Pirate's Life

Fortunes are made by foolish men  
There for the taking  
To be taken  
Forget about buried treasure  
In far away lands forsaken  

Give me a vessel worthy of raking by cannon fire  

Hear the wind in the sails above your head  
As the crew hoists them higher  

Never will you ever witness another view  
Quite like this  

Ripe for the plundering  
Is the horizon of white and blue  

Lust and desire  
Such a fine line betwixt the two  

And no time for wondering  
Which is true  

What say you?  

Aye!  

The kingdom of the Seven Seas  
Knows not a lord or master  
It boils down to which Captain's ship  
Can withstand the guns and sail faster  

Do you have what it takes to be a pirate?  
Are you ruthless as the sharks  
And as cold as the sea?  

Can you take another man's hard earned wages  
Without giving him anything in return  
Save misery?  

Load up the shot into the Long Nines  
Make ready the grappling hooks and lines  
Prepare to board  
To risk your lives for silver and gold  

For adventure beyond your wildest fantasy  
To live forever onward  
Till the end of written history  

Be you young or old  
Are you that daring enough  
That bold  
To sail with me?  

Let me hear you!  

AYE!

Do you not find it the least bit unethical to be entering a competition more than once with multiple accounts?

Speaking of unethical .......Given that you and I are the same person, aren't you somehow breaking patient/doctor confidentiality?

Romance Fitzgerald

F..

Hand burns my skin              
With hot touch              
Behind knee traveling up              
To divinity              
             
Sweet wet baptism              
In my thighs              
Before i die a rage spent      
Anger and lust              
             
Before you fade away        
Shadowed in nevermore              
Once young man              
Turned grey              
       
Suck nourish        
From my beauty      
Live through vice      
And distinction      
             
Seeks redemption              
Between my legs              
A virgin spirit              
A sluts thrust              
               
Kiss lilly white              
Petals areola              
Try 'n tame              
But my savage beast remain              
             
Fuck you              
Fitzgerald              
Romancing              
The party after              
             
Make a gooood              
Woman crazy              
Mind travel              
And such              
             
Stretch arms              
Further to catch              
A past              
Too far flung              
             
Your sweet song              
My darlin              
Already              
Been sung.    
   
        A  kiss...love Zelda....  

A love-hate poem from Zelda to F. Scott Fitzgerald....

What the ...?!?
Stuck in the wrong era
Hera, I can't go back
because I love you too much, Baby

Why can't you see
what Zeus is doing to me?
he's stepping out
having silly goose sex with that Leda

We can't go swanning together
with so many a suspicious mind

all this foul play pisses off PETA
and pluck feathers from my behind

I'm stuck in the wrong era
caught in a trap
with every bolt of his lightning
I risk catching thunderclap

What the ...?!?

E.R.A. ( Element Radioactive Atomic )

There in the backyard
a door leading into the ground
metal hatch
rusty
round
and beyond it lay
our salvation

Underneath
concrete bunker
10 X 10
the only way
to shield us from dying of deadly contamination

Life was so much simpler back then
living with Dada and Mum

Life was so much simpler back then
in the great state of Californium

E-R-A
Even on the sunniest day
the threat of nuclear war never ever went away
yet the future was always so fucking bright
E-R-A
So full of promise
we'd play anyway
after we'd pray
the acid rains
wouldn't wash our home away
and that we wouldn't
end up glowing in the night
E-R-A
Take me away
Take me back to
when our greatest fear was
not living to see another day
E-R-A

E-R-A

E-R-A!

Mushroom, mushroom
mushroom cloud
towering in the sky
tall and proud
Living in the shadow of atomic blast
life was so much simpler
living in the
past

I dedicate this one to BoFantastic.

On Your Knees ( A King's Ransom )

On your knees

My servant to do with as I please

In whatever manner that I fancy
In any fickle fashion that suits me
Your will, irrelevant
Indentured servitude
Medieval slavery

These are the days of Men
In which women should be seen
Not heard
Nary a single word

And should be ever thankful
To stand in the presence of Kings
Who dress them up
In such pretty lacey things

And in the thrill of great sport
The Wild Hunt
Tear away your undergarments
During lonely evenings
Savoring the wine flowing from your
These are the days of Men
Cunt! Get on your knees!
These are the days of Men
And suck it
SUCK IT
These are the days of Men
Bend over
Face pressed to the floor
These are the days of Men
Hump it faster
Grind and push it more

Choice
Was never really yours
To defy your Master
Is to be replaced by countless other whores

Back to the streets with you
I'll find another willing to screw
Live out your remaining days as an Old Maid
Ragged, your tattered dress of shame

I ask,
Who will tame such a Shrew?
Do you not know me
Do you not know my name?

These are the days of Men
Gobble it till you gag
These are the days of Men
Or embrace your destiny as a Hag

These are the days of Men
Take every inch in your lily-white ass without protest
And be a fine filly of a lass
Dressed in nothing but the best
Gold and silver can buy
