Waves crash over me
The sea surges, ecstasy
Drowned in dark desires.

"Memories are stored in our body and tissues"
If this is true, then
Your scent clings like tar in my lungs,
Your touch is the goosebumps on my arms,
Your hugs, the aching in my ribs,
And your kisses, the scratches on my lips,
Imagined, unreal, unfeasible

But my longing for you has overtaken my body
Everything hurts, I swear
My knees pop,
My spine compresses,
And my head grows heavy,
My eyes falling shut, almost sewn

My battered corpse yearns for you
But soon I'll be gone with the wind

A nation mourns the passing of a great man
A most esteemed leader of the South African lands
He railed against white rule all those years ago
His colored brothers and sisters followed his tide changing flow
The world has lost a man who so inspired
His courage and grit are to be admired
The father of freedom in true democracy
He spoke the words for his people's equality
Temperamental Heater; woke to a cold-*** bedroom
Broken Glass fell in the Garbage Disposal,
spent an hour fishing it out before it died;
A busted Water Pipe out front;
******* Kitten ***** behind every obstacle;

**** this Thursday.
**** this very day.
I've been awake for two measly hours
and already it's taking it's toll.

I hope work goes better than this morning has so far,
if things don't improve,
there shall be Metal.
Even if they do,
there shall be Metal
in lieu of physical violence.
Ok, now that I've vented some, I need a tall ******* glass of wine for breakfast.
Snowy egrets, pure,
Stoic, white statues of grace,
Digging in the muck.

Some *****,
loose shoes,
and a warm place
to ****.
Heard this in a song many years ago, thought it would make a good 10 word "poem". I can't take full credit for putting these words, in this order, for the first time. So there.

Mt. Rose rises
10 thousand feet
Of treachery, deceit and defeat.

Every storm
Every wind
Every drop of flooding rain
Every blowing snow
Converges on this terrain
Until no visibility remains
The glistening diamond asphalt promises riches
But that doesn't remain.

That ******* has tried to **** us many times.

Its serene moments
And panoramic views are a lie
For its treachery
Resides in the one false
Move when you can't hide
And you are sliding
Side to side.
Twerling
Wherling
Spinning
The landscape flying by
The blowing snow
Blinds your eyes
It comes at you
Horizontal
Lateral
It comes from below.

Doing 360's
The back becomes the front
The front becomes the back
The blizzard sweeps you up
And all your doing
Is going along
For the ride
Wondering
If
You are going to
Survive.

A magic finger
Stopped
Us there
The cliffs and the air
And we hang suspended
With the panoramas and vistas
Right there
A foot or two
A foot or two away.

All in all
That ******* has tried to **** us many times.

It's become a symbol and a sign
Of knowing we're okay
Because unless
I'm sliding sideways
Down
Mt. Rose
Everything is nothing
But my mind imagining
Treachery, deceit and defeat...
Mt Rose  stands between South Reno and Lake Tahoe. Its one of the highways going from Reno to Tahoe. This is a second version of this poem. Hopefully an improvement.
