Holly Mackinlay "Some people like to"

Some people like to
rip the flesh off and sink their teeth into
a beautifully golden apple.

Some people like to
destroy and obliterate every minute trace of
racism and discrimination.

Some people like to
scheme and plot in an effort to
save the planet.

Some people like to
crush the dreams of those who
would destroy everything society has worked for.

Some people like to
drag their heels and remain stubborn no matter what because
they know that this is not what you really want.

Some people like to
shove and push past everyone else because they want to
be with the one they love more than anything.

Some people like to do things you or I,
may find strange or wrong.
But they are not.
They are just being
themselves.

intricate beauty "Like the blood did too"

The floor length mirror
Shattered
As she threw all her pain at it
It threw back
Cut her skin
The blood reflected
In the pieces
Beautifully
Finally she felt at peace
Laying on the floor
Hoping no one would
Open the door
"No one needs to see
The pain inside of me"
Her anger left her
Like the blood did too
And all she thought about
Was looking at you
She wished you could see
How terrible she could be
It was only an accident
Breaking the mirror
"I didn't really want to go
And now no one will ever know."

Kay Baybay "like the rug pulled from under me, caught un"

Never being able to sleep
always seems to be the theme of my life
the soundtrack so dramatic
action packed and inappropriate

However the reasons now have changed
my heart beating at a different pace
thinking I can finally answer
all the questions burning in my mind

Being the being I have always wanted to be
is fulfilling in so many countless ways
having lost so much time over chasing this concept
never expecting to actually capture it

Not endlessly striving for perfection
just wanted to be relatively understood
my thoughts always so busy in my before
with everything else in my now has been soothed

Feelings sometimes get the better of me
like the rug pulled from under me, caught unawares
the best I can do is follow the direction they lead
but this time the end result completely unknown

With complete anticipation
yearning, aching, and almost desperation
I take one tiny step forward
and, clumsy me, fall flat on my face

The difference is
as I lay with my inbetweens
I will forever always get up
never letting the fall get my very best

Not anymore.

Elizabeth Squires "he'd just like to see a little sunlight"

the wet weather was most galling
Teddy had to stay inside all day
the rain kept pouring and falling

he couldn't go outside for some play
a game of Red Rover he'd so enjoy
Teddy had to stay inside all day

how he wished to see his friend Roy
around the backyard they could run
a game of Red Rover he'd so enjoy

on this rainy day he'd have no fun
his electric train set didn't suffice
around the backyard they could run

Teddy thought the rain wasn't nice
he'd just like to see a little sunlight
his electric train set didn't suffice

being in doors was of no delight
he'd just like to see a little sunlight
the wet weather was most galling
the rain kept pouring and falling

Kay Baybay "is slowly fading now, starting to feel like just a dream"

Softly remembering the quiet whispers of the morning wind
Everything is slowly fading now, starting to feel like just a dream
Part of me wishes I could go back to the way things were
The calm covering me like waves of water
bringing me back
to moving forward
and I know nothing will ever be the same.

H M Jeffrey "Don't try to make me feel like its all completely wrong"

Don't tell me that something that feels so right isn't whats right for me
Don't tell me that I'm waiting again for a someday...maybe
Don't try to make me believe that we don't belong
Don't try to make me feel like its all completely wrong
Who the fuck are you to try to fill me with doubt
Who the fuck are you to tell me to turn a deaf ear as my heart shouts
You just might be right and all thats left here is yet to be cried tears
You just might be wrong and we will live happily for the rest of ours years

Pradip Chattopadhyay "It spreads like weed"

Inside us lurks the vice
Seeking new ways
Finding new device,
To justify its need
And fallacy of virtue
It spreads like weed
Sounds like true!
We make a deal
With the invasive vice
Of our free will
We heed its advice.
Vice has a say
For whatever we strive
We need its easy way
We need it to survive.
Vice supple and smooth
Builds with us rapport
Virtue looks uncouth
Scary enough to abhor!

Bennu "Because my laptop feels like a tanning bed sometimes"

I think I've been sitting in front of plasma screens for way too long
Because I feel a carcinoma in the back of my head

Oh, and I guess I bleached my brain out
Because my laptop feels like a tanning bed sometimes

I can't help but notice all these living room nomads
With faces pasted to the television
Growing remote controls out of the back of their skulls...

I reached my hand to feel the back of my scalp
And just found my own sweat.

Leila "Acting like life is worth less than methyl isocyana"

The train comes by every morning bout 5
I wish that train could find a cliff and collide
Before the demons with it arrive
Always, some poison they unpack
Wherever it came from, I wish it’d go back
That whistle blower must be the most vile of them all
He probably blew whistles during the disaster in Bhopal
Sounding off as thousands of people died
Now I hear melodies of their killer pesticides
Echoing deep thru the hills, into the chemical valley
Here it continues adding death to it's tally
So rich men can be richer, they threaten a poor mans fate
Acting like life is worth less than methyl isocyanate

Richard D Remler "Just like the soft silk"

..........................................................

Every time you hear
A baby laugh -
I'm there...

Every time you see
A firefly -
I'm there...

When new spring
Wildflowers bloom,
Or you hear the
Thunder boom,
And Momma's perfume
Fills the room,

I'm there...

When the first flakes
From winter fall -
And when you hear
The robin's call -
I'm there...

When you see
A bright-eyed child
On Christmas morn,
Or a brand-new baby born,
Just like the soft silk
From the corn -
I'm there...

I'm in the teardrops Grandma cries
When praying every night.
And when the eve is over,
You'll feel me in the morning light.

And every ray of sunshine
That warms your Saturday,
I'm there. I'm in their laughter
When I see my sisters play.

When you hear
The thunders roll -
I'm there...
Or hear the sharp song
Of the Oriole,
I'm there...

When April blossoms fill the trees,
Or you hear the song of honey bees,
Just like the gentle
Morning breeze,
I'm there...

In the cool of the morning dew,
And in the little songs that you
Hum when you're not aware,

I'm there...

Or when new snow falls,
And Grandpa calls
To ask you how you are.
When the rain beats low
And the soft moon glow
Wakes up another star.

I'm there...

I'm in the lazy
Summer breeze
Winding through
The dancing trees -

When the first spring rain
Greets the day,
Or you hear my sisters pray,
And a secret blessing
Falls your way,
I'm there...

When the first leaves
Of Autumn turn,
And Winter nips
Against your door,
And starlight dances
Through the sky,
And bare feet tap
Across the floor,
Or that final breath
Of Autumn sings
A song from oh, so
Long ago,
And Winter sets her
Eyes upon the morning
With a dust of snow,
I'll be watching over you,
As quiet as can be,
With a gentle warmth
Within my heart-
Because you mean
So much to me.
