like a colony of ants
that refuse to work together
destroying our own world
this ant hill is getting weathered

maybe insects are smarter than humans

like a hive of bees
that only sting each other
destroying our own nest
we torture our own brothers

Balled and rolled
But never been told
What was once tied
Will set loose and die

a god drinking from his grail
goes to fill it with
water
you think you can deny me my birth right
my right as a human being
nay
as a living creature of this earth
my right to clean
amazing
plain
water
its the life that flows  
everywhere that it goes
literally
everything that it touches
it engulfs
with
life
it will not suffice
for anything less
water
it may have met its match
and if thats true
then me and you
wont be around much longer to consume
all this wonderful
life giving
magical
water
this is my first poem i've ever posted anywhere comments would be appreciated good or bad. thank you.

I never knew that a person
Could be a prison.
That their words would be bars,
Trapping me inside of their indignation.
I never knew that a person
Could be a prison.
At least,
Not until I met you.

Love is not just a verb, It's you looking in the mirror.

Hulking, nearly 20ft tall
Welcoming enough, I suppose
Vines crawling up the sides
Intertwining with one another

Small, only 20ft tall
My entire world.
unimportant in the spectrum
of the universe

A gleam of white,
A flash of power.
A spice of Royalty.

Ingredients of that potion.
THAT potion of power.
OF Beauty.

The Potion of Truth,
Of Lies.

Tis the Potion of Life.

This chain holds memories.
Loving ones,
Angry ones,
And hungry ones.
The glass reflects them.
Because it was around my neck through it all.

And resonates with my mind,
And everything else is lost to me.
I love it.

birds in flight
crystals falling
breathless silence frozen
sun explodes
dazzling light
wings shatter imploding
Inspired by an abstract christmas card front....
I had an image of birds in flight on high and a snow covered landscape under
snow time stilled silent
then the sun broke over the snow dazzling
the birds swooped low and the sound of wings broke the moment

I'm a little flower.
I am as delicate as the petals of a flower.
Tear me,
And you'll never be able to repair me.

Step on me,
You just lost a breathe of your life.

Rip me from my roots,
I'll die within seconds.

Spit on me,
Thanks for that one more drop of rain.

Make fun of me,
Look who's talking.

Little flower.
Bold heart.

One thing I know,
Is that if you cross the line,
I won't be that little pretty flower you knew.
I don't know. I didn't mean the look who's talking part mean. I just... Couldn't come up with anything else. Oh and who talks about flowers without talking about potatoes! Join the potato league #jointhepotatoleague and become an official potato!
