Masterplans poems on Hello Poetry

Rob Rutledge Feb 2014

Drink

Soliloquies sharpened
And
Silhouetted by the tongue.
Viscous virtues,
Masterplans undone.

Confessions confided
Yet
Forgotten by the sun.
Knights and paupers
All may become.

Inebriated needs
And
Inception planted seeds
Grown like the wheat
That sways in the breeze.
Fermented folly,
Merry japes and jollies.
Shall bring us all
Down
Upon our knees.

lark

if I shrank my dreams in half then they might fit inside my body.
my masterplans cover my floor and my fantasies hang out in my rearview window.
if my fingers knew how to be musical then they wouldn't ever lay down to sleep with me.
the belly that hang on this cage ripples with every beat of its lark.
lovers would be knocking down my door if they could hear the song I have in store
for them.

— The End —
