Murmur - with rubyredheart
How many voices have you heard today? Listening to what others
have to say. Through the wall of your mind, echoing. From the
attic where dead time is stored in a box. Ignored and now
wilted memories of mom's coffee pot, dripping insomnia. While
grandpa's ashes rest in the Crock-Pot. In conversation with
the biscuits and gravy waiting for the washer to stop cycling.
How many voices have you heard today?
Where have their flights taken your soul today? In a canoe
on the river, did those ashes breathe and stroke the water?
Did that...

meanderings of a wandering soul
look into my soul and find me turning in the sorrow
the truth comes upon me then evades me
once understood the lesson is then lost
when another facet of my personality takes charge
my essence will lie to you because I am afraid
no, don't touch, don't look at me there
I'm too vulnerable
you'll get the worst of me
proof I'm unlovable, turn away
I wonder are the broken pieces really me?
different sides of the whole
or are they more to the point
the hurt within
broken my soul shatters
then...

No Flowers
Some moments
beyond loneliness
or exile,
beyond wishes
where hands
hold on to emptiness,
hope leaves
and trailing whispers
softly fill a loss.
No flowers,
no blossoms,
just troubles
executed
within a soul,
no second chances
no future
no happiness,
only a pitch black
that can blind
the best of everyone.

WHEN IS ENOUGH OF ENOUGH
As I sit here in this moment of truth and conviction of words so true, I am pondering aimlessly with the process of the thoughts of uncertainty, and confusion and unanswered questions. For example sometimes we don't see ourselves through the lenses of our own eyes, as we sometimes have become invisible even to ourselves when it concerns, the people in our lives and heart. For it is necessary to understand that we don't matter to the other person, who has no idea how does love really work between two people who started off with love and happiness and joy and peace. But yet there are many times...

Craving Company.
I am a woman ALONE
Living in my Semidetached home,ALONE
I feel somewhat comfortable,
Living in my own home,
ALONE.
But lately,
I've been craving company,
Watching the T.V,unwillingly,
2 feel connected with humanity.
Feeling anxious
Whenever the walls speak
So I turn the volume on the T.V up.
Louder.
Louder.
Louder.
Silence is Louder.
A glass or two or three,of red,red wine
Soothes me every time
Giving me courage
2 call my ex,who...

Piers Morgan unbounded and uncensored! Isn't insanity wonderful!
By Stanley Collymore
Piers Morgan is undeniably an
inured fantasist; perniciously
a quite rabid misogynist, an
endemic racist that distinctively is
effectively, a crucially self-serving
and unmistakably too the rather
typical, basically unquestionably
fatuous, conceited populist who
likewise unquestionably, clearly
and distinctly quite egregiously
is unequivocally the demented
egotist so crucially contentedly
permanently ensconced in his

Perhaps
Who knows.
Perhaps it predates
My coming into this world.
Perhaps the cause is to be found
In some entanglements
In a previous life on
Planet Mist II.
Or perhaps it is that
I've always been too cheap
Too scared, too insecure
To even want to get into a relationship
(Ok, it so even happened for a brief time
Anyway and not of my making).
Dialogues I find in books
Never happened in my life
Or, possibly, rare and never
More than two lines
No, relationships are not, were not
Ever meant for me
Whatever...

Bleeding Heart
People have said
You wear your heart on your sleeve
So I guess that means
You’re open love, be loved and be seen
But as for me
My heart is buried deep within
In a place where no one knows the sin
It took with it all my hope
Even though I know
It was all stripped away with just one stroke
People have said
The heart wants what it wants
So I think that means
You just go for it, sight unseen
You’re willing and eager to follow that dream
But as for me
My heart wants what it will have see
Never have no matter...
You wear your heart on your sleeve
So I guess that means
You’re open love, be loved and be seen
But as for me
My heart is buried deep within
In a place where no one knows the sin

Even though I know
It was all stripped away with just one stroke
People have said

You just go for it, sight unseen
You’re willing and eager to follow that dream

I miss you brother
I sit by your grave, knowing not what to say, it's been two months now since you were taken away, I miss you more brother every day,
I'm looking after mum, but she is a mess, contemplating suicide because of the stress, I feel like I've been punched in the chest
I can't sleep , I'm scared of what mum may do, we can't lose her the same way we lost you,
I believe you waited for me before you passed on, it's the longest ever trip that I've done,
I don’t know how we're going to get through this, but we will, we have to,
So if you're...

Trying to modernize an antediluvian Medieval relic in the 21st Century? An impossibility William!
By Stanley Collymore
What an utterly ridiculous notion
that you're literally indulging in
and likewise too very stupidly
pushing William risibly pretending
that you're making changes when
in reality you actually aren't doing
anything effectively and it's solely
disingenuous and fundamentally
so basically egregiously indulged
In dishonesty. Since distinctively
you're actually not relinquishing
any of your evidently, unearned
wealth: unquestionably crucially

Britain - the societal equivalent of a Harold Shipman advising you how to care for the elderly!
By Stanley Collymore
The one thing in Britain that isn't
stolen or otherwise criminally
or barbarously acquired is
the Magna Carta document; since
all else quite lawfully belongs to
countries elsewhere, especially
in the Global South. Distinctly
as Britain is in reality a rather
vibrant macrocosm of Jimmy
Savile, and should justifiably
be judged as an undeniably
vile fake globally! For it was
essentially this exploitative
mindset that is still replete

Spring isn’t Coming
It’s been a long winter
She whispers softly
She looks as though she hasn’t left that seat in months
Her hand is clutching a nearly empty bottle
As though it is the only thing grounding her here
Her leg is bouncing uncontrollably
As if her body is reminding her she can move
The winters here are long
And cold
And harsh
They take and they take and they take
And they feel as though they will never end
The snow keeps falling ...
