Poem Titles I Didn't Write You
Oh Well
It Wasn't Ment to Be
Mistaken
It Stinks
My Head Aches
You Smell
I Wish I Had Known
If Only
You are Killing Both of Us
Your Existence Rests Caressed in Your Fingertips
Nothing Matters Anymore
I Cared When I Thought I Loved You
The Darkness You Can't See
The Fog of Death Robs Your Oxygen
I Was a Fool
Fantasies of You and Me Gave Me False Hope
Fake Fucks and Simulated Orgasms
Dawn's Reality
When the Smoke Cleared the Mirror Broke
Leave Well Enough Alone
In Your Next Life, Look Me Up
It Wasn't Ment to Be
Mistaken
It Stinks
My Head Aches
You Smell
I Wish I Had Known
If Only
You are Killing Both of Us
Your Existence Rests Caressed in Your Fingertips
Nothing Matters Anymore
I Cared When I Thought I Loved You
The Darkness You Can't See
The Fog of Death Robs Your Oxygen
I Was a Fool
Fantasies of You and Me Gave Me False Hope
Fake Fucks and Simulated Orgasms
Dawn's Reality
When the Smoke Cleared the Mirror Broke
Leave Well Enough Alone
In Your Next Life, Look Me Up

Is DUP finally working again?
For the past month I have been trying every day to log in but keep getting booted out to a page that says website not available. I hope I can at least post this but I don't know if the next thing I click will knock me back off. I hope this works!

At a Loss for Words
No one has ever accused me of being speechless
Yet no one knows my speeches are inspirations from my heart
So it's no surprise to me I have nothing much to say
When my heart is empty and my mind has gone astray
I'm too old to care how my dreams have all died
And that my lonely existence isn't far behind
Not because the loneliness is coming to an end
But existing in this universe has always been pretend
I was never more than your imaginings
To ease your own lonely days and empty nights
But now you're on your own, I can't relieve your pain ...
Yet no one knows my speeches are inspirations from my heart

I'm too old to care how my dreams have all died
And that my lonely existence isn't far behind
Not because the loneliness is coming to an end
But existing in this universe has always been pretend
I was never more than your imaginings
To ease your own lonely days and empty nights
But now you're on your own, I can't relieve your pain ...

Riding the Wave
Surfing in your ocean
When the quake cracks under your curl
A wave appears upon the calm wet surface
Foreshadowing what comes from down beneath
Silently at first the ripple deceives my senses
A pleasure-full day swimming at the beach
Under clear sunny skies before the dark Moonrise
Your wave grows ever higher then pulls me under
So unbelievably deep I dare not breathe
Clinging to my board I rise and come back up
So powerful a wave I ride this one on my knees
Only then I realize your tsunami is nearly drowning me
Yet the paradise I...

Fear of the Unknown
She might say no
She might be married
She might be angry
She might hate me
She might be afraid to say yes
She might think I'm ugly
She might think I'm not good enough
She might be laughing
She might think I'm a fool
She might be right
She might be married
She might be angry
She might hate me
She might be afraid to say yes
She might think I'm ugly
She might think I'm not good enough
She might be laughing
She might think I'm a fool
She might be right

Moonlit Bath
Painfully beautiful write
Butterfly of the moonlight...
But you are not invisible,
for I see you, not through you.
Your sea of sensuality
Is a swimming pool for two
To bathe in the warm water
Scented with your spilling nectar
Fog rising from from your tropical reservoir
Ripples creating waves on the tips of your wings
Let the heart shout out your deep desire
and feel the passion of your inner fire

Wisdom or Wizardry
No religion is the absence of imaginary deities
Open the intellect locked away from this realty
Great minds wasted believing in heavenly fantasy
Creating delusions of grandeur to force on others their philosophy
These tales may as well be extraterrestrial pablum
Imagined to explain life and comfort from death
For the lonely hearts left behind to ponder their truth
While rationalizing the lies they tell themselves
In hopes of achieving what they could not do in life
The truly hardest things humanity finds impossible to let go of ...

Star Gazing On the Fire Escape (part 2)
SPpANK!
"Hey"!
Why did you do that when all I did was bring you a hot and fresh pizza?"
She said "because I saw you watching me from that fire escape three blocks away"
I nearly swallowed my tongue 'cos I knew that I'd been caught and was afraid she'd call the cops. But then she said, " it's about time you noticed me because I've been watching you out there looking up into the air. So I put the mirror on the wall and angled it perfectly, to reflect my bedroom light exactly where you would be.
My binoculars are great for catching...

Pump Me
Blood surging
Veins bulging
On the verge of bursting
Blood racing in vain
An out of control train
You're driving me insane
Renewing life feels so divine
So tiring this life of mine
And all born to share my line
For each red cell that I impart
Pumping my most passionate part
Yet I failed to love, now I am a broken heart
Veins bulging
On the verge of bursting
Blood racing in vain
An out of control train
You're driving me insane
Renewing life feels so divine
So tiring this life of mine
And all born to share my line
For each red cell that I impart
Pumping my most passionate part
Yet I failed to love, now I am a broken heart

Odd Observation
I happened to look at the list of poets who follow me today and I noticed something very strange. Only a small number have been signing on DUP in the past few weeks and the vast majority have not been on in over a month.
Now this is just my followers, but I wonder if this is a larger issue. I was looking because another member mentioned to me that their comments were down lately and I was wondering if people are reading less or just not getting on the internet in general.
Is anyone else noticing this trend?
I wonder if the admins have site stats to check data on site stats? ...
