A room in the house next to mine, waiting for its tenant—or left alone. No clue in my hand, just traces of light at 11:48 on a Tuesday night. I wonder if the room is waiting for a tenant who isn’t there, or if the bulb fell in love with the current— I know neither; I wasn’t there. I own nothing of that house, no switches within my reach. Yet this feeling lingered for days: where must the tenants have been? They hadn’t abandoned the room— the bulb was still on. Or maybe they left it burning to fool the dark, a quiet lie that everything’s alright. Even that must’ve failed— I saw the room in darkness again. Did they return, or did someone cut the light? I don’t know. I wasn’t there.

"BANS" By: Z
The casino owner, Loved taking money from others. Just set a million-dollar prize, And everyone is surprised, So they flock to the casino, To ruin their lives. Not that the owner cares, Money in his pocket, To pay for all his affairs. All of the money, Anyone could ever want, So he spent it, To expand the gambling. More bills rolled in, Which he used to pay the bills, Of the growing establishment. No amount of money, Was ever enough, And eventually, The casino owner went bankrupt. The people were tired of being lied to, So they started a mob, And robbed the casino. They burned it to the ground, No more money to be found.

Shorter Poem #31 "The Casino Owner"
In the dimly lit chamber, we set the scene. An owner and his pet, a game of primal and prey. She kneels like an eager dog, a collar around her neck. He stomps his feet and keeps her obedience at play. The owner, like a magician, keeps tricks up his sleeve. He wants his pet to learn— to be his student and please. Commanding her to crawl, to fetch and beg. Waiting for him to call her a good little pet. She barks and whimpers, a puppy in passion. Spins three times and licks her master’s feet without a whine. The pet surrenders to her master’s might. She delivers his sturdy leather boots in a straight line. With a flick of the whip, the pet curls in elation. Her master chuckles at her sounds of temptation. Submitting to the cynicism of ******* and discipline. She is flogged like a plebeian, forgetting she’s a citizen. Pet and master, a bond so strong. The two are bound by zeal, craving one another. She wallows in the comfort of her belly rubs and treats. And runs around with a rush of red in color. She goes through treacherous training. And yelps if she’s ever caught complaining. Waiting for a tasteful gift: the eternity collar. When she is ready, he puts it on with honor.

An Owner and His Pet
Air hits, Mind shifts. A moment of happiness, Another of pain. Euphoria, Gone down the drain. Blood flows, So does shame. Mind deciphering, The owner's little game. Her voice, But there's one more. She barely speaks, The other voice guides her actions more. "Tried fighting the intruder," Says the mind. But the voice is an escape, From the real being inside. Into the gallows of shame it leads her, Her head in the loop of death. The owner ready to die, Letting the other take charge. When the air hits again, And the voice dies. It is murdered, The owner wins. No other voice, can take over her being. The mind deciphers the code, the owner didn't want it to know. It said, "There's a plan, only the secretive heart can know"

The Voice
I've my peeves and things I just don't like like your puppies **** on my shoe, morning, noon, or night So when you've had all your days and think you're heaven bound remember all the crap you left as justice comes, around Moving toward that day, just ahead I can only pray and hope when you're in the hell hotel you've only fresh doggie **** for soap (Slippery, and gooey, on a silken, golden rope)

Disgusting owners
I do not wish to suffer but suffer I must Cursing my ill luck and the mad excesses Of a selfish insensitive owner Obsessed with destruction, both mine and his; Occupying a spot here in the High Street Opposite the Courthouse and its official Clock An eyesore, a common talking point Squeezed between more fashionable premises Which seem always to frown and grimace Expressing major reservations, unambiguous opposition. Housing curios, oddments and selected modern junk We sell little, our few customers dribbling in Only to supplement their journeys while waiting on the bus Or to eye with a morbid curiosity That sickly creature seated behind the counter My luckless tyrant of an owner Against whom all conspire Who seriously in debt, is helpless, cannot pay up Hounded interminably by mysterious moneylenders Who after giving a little now expect a whole lot in return. With fuel running low for my boiler My heating system, it is unreliable Volatile, treacherous in Winter My ventilator rusted through Erratic at best, chronic in Summer The damp in the walls and ceiling The dry rot, the wallpaper peeling Encouraged by years of neglect Of being used, unscrupulously tampered with, In need now of meticulous care and attention. My owner truly a derelict, a dissipated soul Spending more time in the cellar with a bottle Than on any other shop floor level (Among his friends, the mice, the cockroaches and spiders) Who trying to stay awake, eventually must capitulate Caught by that Ghost Ship that drifts slowly North To where the icebergs loom large and ominous out of a damning fog It's compass frozen, it's wheel unmanned Nothing but shadows and wind in the rigging As he floats off into oblivion, off the edge of the earth Where exist such shapes that can never be said.                                II Is peculiar though, my owner At times displays a certain poise and grace Hinting at a time in the not too distant past Which was not altogether bad or harmful But unusual as it might seem Was quite on the contrary, fruitful !! Him featuring as being both proud and distinguished Far removed from today's pitiful wretch Whose solitary doubts and fears have all but taken over. And maybe I do find it hard to sympathize I after all being the one offered up now in sacrifice Him there with little joy, love or hope With only complaints and grievances mounting up Filed away in offices at City Hall.                                  III Whereupon the hour, every  hour, the Courthouse Clock it chines Ever vigilant, ready to track it's quarry down Where in the corridors of power this very moment City fathers, town planners and architects have gathered To discuss whether our future lies in this town To argue out the case, the for and the against; While below the vile demolition man he stalks my borders With his heart of ice and ghastly drunken laugh, No! I do not wish to suffer Indeed, I wish I could be like any other.

There he is, my little baby boy, his fluffy ginger fur spiked out in all directions. His eyes, like coco powder surrounding a drop of pure vanilla. They are so big and heart catching I have to mention. His spiraled tail laid over his back and spread out like a fire work. Curly and a sandy color, it stands out against his Gingerbread coat. His tiny, dainty, quick moving paws always in a scurry as he races to his little window, barking in a  high pitch squeal, his spirit always in a float. His fur flows in a fluffy rustle when he stands outside to strut his pride, his little mocha mountain peaks alert and doesn't miss a single action. He walks like the world revolves around him, he runs for nothing but his own fancy desires, He flaunts his cute looks, with the sway of his tail and barks at other dogs just to get a good reaction. His white furred lips speak of whimpers and pleads to me whenever I'm down,  He lays over my arms when I type, sick of not being the center of attention. He allows his two back legs to fly behind him when he kicks in demand. He bangs his two front paws to the ground when he's frustration for not getting his way. There's too much tension. I can't help but to laugh at the pathetic adorable soul! Thinking he can live his spoiled "perfect" worry-free life forever. But even the greatest break, people wear a mask, and so do dogs! He pretends he doesn't need any body. He think's he's so clever! Behind that perfectly circular face of fluff and eye seeking attention, is a heart of fear... There is no drop of bravery within him... As his mother, as his human, as his owner I feel his fear, for we both fear the same thing... The higher authority, our changes to them are dim... When he is around them, his tail hangs low to hide it's spark, his shiny wondering eyes look down in shame of his small size and courage. His mountain peeks collide in an avalanche. They lay back and hide their mighty heights. His hopefulness for joy could not flourish... His eyes water up like a river from a down pour... have you ever seen tears pour from a dogs eyes at a constant rate? I have... His pride as an Alpha was only an act, his true identity is all omega, his mind and heart have been split into halves... He's high pitch but low noted howl does not ring when he is in the state of depression as omega. He instead taps his two little light paws against my chair as I sit... I look down and sadly sometimes I ignore him. My mind already in a struggle. But the little one is wise as well. He'll kick his back legs and howl to catch my attention and throw a fit! He knows I need his little fluffy sweet comfort, and he needs my warm embrace and my soft lap. The only time he always look so content and happy is when I hold the little dear and he purposely falls backwards so I may hold him like a baby, an opportunity I have to grab He has a big smile on his soft furry face, his eyes pleasantly closing, his body pliable and limb. You would think he was fake by the peaceful contentment on his face, his little black paws up in the air, so many adore him Only because of his physical appearance, not because of the longing to change sweet hearted Pomeranian from within When I set him down, the peace instantly breaks, his happiness is shattered, his nose sniffing up at me in disbelief, he needs thicker skin. Munchkin... you had two owners before us, the first one threw you out of the car in front of a pet store... The other locked you up in your cage for too many helpless countless hours... you remember this for sure. The Lord is merciful... for we have came to the rescue, your soul is now being built back up... we promise we won't abandon you. I won't abandon you... If only you knew how the Lord has used you in my life... The blessing you have been. This owner ship refuses to move. You are my sweet Pomeranian Munchkin... and I am your owner Have No Fear Little Fluff.. Have No Fear I love you <3

Our Hearts Together
No label No commitment No contact No communication None of it Four years have passed You remain intact in my heart I can’t find myself unloving you Loving you mean everything to me There is no one that completes me the way you do It may sound silly and stupid for staying in love and faithful But that gives me courage, strenght and happiness to keep on fighting Though i don’t know If i will ever have another oppurtunity To experience our paths crossing again But i will always be here Waiting for you To come back home to me Because your home is with me In my heart

I sat down to a puzzle When my dog came for a nuzzle And I gave a small scratch behind the ears I moved on to the telly And he lay down on my belly And we both fell fast asleep after two beers It seems while I was dreaming That I heard somebody screaming It was just an advert on tv The dog got down real quickly I thought he might be sickly It turns out that he only had to *** I went back to watch footy And then some "sweep and sooty" Then the wife came in and asked me where's the dog I said he's out the back dear All is fine, no need to fret dear "Then why is he there chewing on a frog?" I said I knew no reason I didn't know frogs were in season And I went outside to go wash out his mouth He didn't like the feeling In fact he was reaching for the ceiling And that is just the time that things went south He chose right then to ***** It came up just like a comet The beer, a bone, and two thirds of a frog I knew that he felt better My dumb old Irish setter This is just a day of living with a dog

Living with a dog
The pages seemed to come alive I tell you this and it is no jive The story capturing an old man and a house Somewhere in the story it also involves a mouse The story begins with a sunrise No idea what the day will be so it is a surprise The old man is a retired Lumberjack He would be chopping lumber to build houses But the old man certainly was never alone At least this is what the house had shown There was always this mouse The mouse seemed to be a companion in the house The mouse would often sit by the old man There seemed to be an understanding and no command The mouse was always given some cheese The old man made the mouse feel like he was his squeeze The old man would often talk to the mouse It was always the old man’s words throughout the house Then one night a big Thunderstorm came The storm was like battle stations ready to take aim with all the thunder, lightening and rain The moon seemed to be given a vacation as a shade among the clouds A theory of the night The heavy fog that blocked out sight Yet the mouse showed no fright The old man felt he wasn’t going to make the storm his plight He didn’t want to feel uptight The mouse knew how to keep the old man calm and suddenly not alarm Well the storm finally passed by It was courage in the old man’s try That old man and his house Being together including a mouse A house built for more than just one, and a creation of a foundation being done.

A STORY TELLING HOUSE WITH ITS OWN VIBE
Our world is small We sense content with little, We are very small in this paradise of god! ***** We know simply ‘how take care of sheep’ and we moved around in search their food, Because when they become happy and grow They bless us to prosper! ***** People call us nomad! But we are concern about the life with us! ***** When summer approach and snow started to melt, Green covers spread out on the mountain valley, We moved from the river valley And spent the summer there- to cater the need of our adored friends. ****** When snow starts to melt down, We come down. **** Now things are changing! Last year we were divested. ***** We gather the information from river water about snow melting; and moved ahead. ****** But without warning, thunders come with snow followed by downpour We have lost our children and many great friends, Every one suffers! ***** Don’t know ‘why weather deceives us’?

Weather deceive us
Don't promise me the world if you're not the owner , Don't promise me the universe if you haven't seen it. Don't promise me the stars if you cant see them in my eyes. Don't make Promises you cant keep. Please, Don't break my heart because you are my universe and I belong to you. The only stars that matter are the millions your eyes reflect. and the only Promise I need is Forever.
