Hundreds of pairs of eyes are on you
As you rip the air right out of their lungs
While you dance slowly and masterfully
Beaming with passion and confidence

You merge to become one with the music
And gain 'oohs' and 'aahs' from beguiled girls
Daydreaming and wishing you were theirs
While your girlfriend spectates from a distance

The spell is broken as soon as you stop
To take a breath and take your bow
You sent the coliseum into a stormy applause
I found myself clapping along too

Backstage, you take your girlfriend into your arms
While I sit across you several feet away
You being taken doesn't matter, it never will
I'm too mesmerized by your dancing to even care
I guess we're friends now, John. I just don't know how to feel about it.

I yeehaw,
As I mount my squaw.
She's let me wear the cowboy hat
While the cat,
Once kitten, confidant and confessor
Of her predecessor,
Spectates...
As I *******.
She was actually born in Mumbai,
But I
Still ride the bomb as I fly.

I rest upon A grassy mound,
My mind spectates whats around.
Its A beautiful day,
I hope it won’t rain.
The skies are clear,
No birds too near.
I appoint my detector,
To search for the nectar.
I fly too A flower,
Hear it cry,
“Why choose me, oh butterfly.”
A young father passes his infant son
between tense barbed wires.
The cloudy blue sky silently spectates.

The grass isn’t green, but golden on
the other side, warm and inviting.
Young girls smile and take the small child.

Glancing behind him, the father spots
the border patrol, first trying
frantically to climbing over, then

Frozen by shouts of armed men,
his eyes fill with brave tears, and
He touches the boy’s face goodbye.

He breaks and barks I flee with his precious
child, my smile gone— I run,
quickly and carefully delivering the infant

To freedom, opportunity, and life.
Gun shots sting our ears,
the small boy cries, and our hearts pound.

Orphans in a golden valley wilt while
the wonderful world blooms
with indifferent innocence, everlasting.
I'm still working with this one... Not enough emotion, need stronger images.  Suggestions more than welcome!

The blade chooses and chops.
Dispensing clotted closure.
Silken Crimson
Pumping through.
Sodden clothes.  
Weakening resistance
Hands up go down.
Sliced and diced.
Wavy ribbons.
Metal spectates.
The corpse is moving.
Slimy red slug going nowhere.
The slug stays nowhere.
