Tanisha Jackland
I’ve searched the evening tides for you
the seams of you in dreams
My pixie rose plucked for petals

It was in the distance of you that fed me
As if you could satisfy the insatiable

To relish in the depth of this oblivion
How sweet the spell comes

I could barely hear the wailing
Your body broken in delicate moments
Drifting from me like a pretty ghost

Here you are again
My favorite lonely one
Dispelling the void between us
With this song
The little girl
wearing a Navy blue dress
with a white collar
and black patton shoes
holds a red
helium balloon
as she walks down a path of clouds
through the vast wilderness
of space and time
representing life on overtime
a second home on a lake
a souring career
living with a man she is married to
but doesn't love anymore
and may never have
sings the song
"Twinkle Twinkle , Little Star"
and she is wondering
just how far

ForgottenDiety
The days are gone for the baby, who'll be living on its own.
Her teddy will no longer be needed,
Same as her beautiful room.
She'll need to learn how to cook,
or she'll starve herself to death.
Yet there will be no one who'll take a look,
on whether or not she irons her dress.

She will enjoy the freedom and the fun of being away.
And will soon start buying things without thinking how much she pays.
She will love her dream job,
And pretends she is.
For she forgot that her heart was left,
The moment she left the east.

Soon she will feel strange, like something has been lost.
She will find it in bars, in cafes, and even ask her boss.
But it will be too late for the baby to be back home,
For all her life she thought it was her real home.*

(c) ForgottenDiety
Sometimes we wander to wrong places and treat it like its our real home.

Hadrian Veska
Setting sun across a fading red sky
We lay together on a lush hill
With nothing around for miles
As the sun goes down
We use each other for warmth
There's something about you
Something I absolutely adore

Your touch
Your eyes
Your smile

No, it's none of these
Yet it's all of them
Not a simple trait
But the sum of all of them
In the person that is you

And I would have it no other way

DaSH the Hopeful
The way morning sunlight creeps through the blinds,
                Light streaming in, crisp and warm and new
  
The way air makes its way to our lungs and we feel the energy
The rush of fresh oxygen

    The way snow falls,
Small, clumsy flakes at first
           And grows into an all encompassing blizzard

THAT is how to fall in love

Poetic T
Relaxing in waters splashing on the sides
of my boat of conscious thoughts tides.
My hat covering ill views of the outside
world, I  lingered relaxed as sight did hide.

But waters hid the lingering threat  beneath
that all was not what it seemed underneath.
That I wasn't alone in this serine quiet place,
devouring needs, my normal thought displaced.

So many consuming my emotions  all being replaced
I was no longer in harmony like I had been misplaced.
Still in my boat my only safe place, while they swam
around, I felt like I was singular and my mind a sham.

They rocked the boat tried to push me into despair
but my mind was winning they were going elsewhere.
An ocean of reflection is a large place to get lost in thought,
But if ever in waters not known, heed what this has taught.

Sylvia Plath
"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"

You park your lard *** **** on the skin of a cow and call it your new leather settee,
strap your feet into hide worked boots and stride across the Earth, all at the height of fabulous fashion.
Slap another slab of flesh on the barbecue and call it steak
(rare please) right next to the rack of ribs sizzling,
another brimming mooing cattle truck pulls into the abattoir,
and they say all the farts,of all the cattle, we keep eating, is destroying the climate all by themselves, but you wont find that information on the menu in a fast food shop serving burgers by the millions, or the main discussion at a barbecue, because lets face it, the meat in front of your nose has done all its farting, and its far too late to help save the World by some form of self-denial.
