Deep Underground Poetry
The name is to blame.
The title should have been
Deep Underground Writing.
I've discovered
there are only a few poets here.
I'm not one of them (yet)
Maybe in time I will be, but
Time for self-reflection,
for poetic literacy.

Kiss Me
They say a kiss seals two souls for that one single moment in time.
I'm screaming inside, I want mine.
A time stopping, heart racing, pain erasing kiss.
Long, gentle, and passionate.
Is this really a feeling one can get?
A fantasy in my head, and now a moment of weakness.
A forbidden Temptation, mind blowing, passion is what I need.
Am I saying this right?
Will you just kiss me, tonight?
I'm screaming inside, I want mine.
A time stopping, heart racing, pain erasing kiss.
Long, gentle, and passionate.

A fantasy in my head, and now a moment of weakness.

Character assassination and sexual harassment
--- I have NEVER said an improper word to any one [women or man] on this site ---
the following message chain is point black accusing me WITHOUT evidence of driving women from this site. I am now requesting all who read this post to link hard evidence of improper behavior [emails, replies, messages] that corroborates the vile accusations presented here. I have already begun transitioning to other poetry sites because of lost friends and closed doors on dup since I took sides in a war between two poetesses. Enough is enough, I am demanding evidence. ...

Brown Box
You died a few weeks ago, and yesterday you came home; except you aren't you, not anymore.
They brought you home in a brown cardboard box as if they could have shoved all of the light and warmth you brought us all into this minuscule vessel.
I think about it sometimes, how when I come to your house, you are there waiting for me on the kitchen counter as if you had never left us in the first place.
I sat in bed last night, staring at the ceiling; pondering how a person I have loved all of my life could just exist in silence like the way you are right now.

Incrementally Falling
The pieces floating.
I ate too much my stomach is bloating.
But never as much as her.
I see our names together,
And I swallow back bile.
The way you miss her, and every other bad decision, is vile.
You’re cared out. Loved out.
You gave it all away to everyone before me. And on a day when I couldn’t take myself anymore, you told me you didn’t care, you’ve been here too many times. And to get away from you.
But when you’re sick, I lay with you. I hold your hand and tell you sweet things. I make sure you drink enough water, and take...

Bereft
People are odd creatures filled with a myriad of idiosyncrasies.
First perception of nobility lost, the true character emerged.
I would say I’m surprised but humanity has taught me too well what people are capable of.
Ruminating in my disappointment is nothing I aspire to, moving on the logical choice.
I find traces of the one I lost in those I entertain, but it’s very faint.
I seek what was lost however pale imitation are all that I’ve found.
Nothing becomes real because no one is him.
Almost...

Dusts Mists and Mirrors
Dear Gabe
I woke up this morning to the sounds of rain on my tin roof. It's too early in the morning to get up. So I lie here listening to the soothing sounds of the rain. It has been raining here every day. Monsoon again. I hope no one lose their homes through landslides and floods. Last year people were killed in landslides...sigh. Nature can be cruel.
I published our third book this year. Its all self published, you know. It's difficult to get a good publishing company in this part of the world. The book is a compilation of 12 stories based on the supernatural beliefs of our...

Halloween Epiphany
There is a litmus test in the United States Bill of Rights to help us determine if a citizen or political candidate is an authentic disciple, and perhaps practitioner, of the MORALITY espoused by Jesus Christ...at least enough litmus to allow the claimant of such to provide a shred of legitimacy to such claims.
That litmus is known as the Eighth Amendment.
"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
This is our national behavioral standard for people...IN CUSTODY.
But we...
