One Poem For The Road by princesa(f): 10:17am On Mar 09, 2013 |
There i sat Playing with my dress Relishing the great pleasure Of my legs beneath the sand With my face to the moon Hearing the sweet lullaby of the stars There i sat peaceful and calm Till... The rain shrouded the moon The stars took off on their heels The ocean overflowed its banks And washed off the sands that adored my legs I was left soaked in the mud My dress became a dirty thorn And my tears drowned in the sea How hard i wept My innocence taken from me And even harder i wept When i remembered that rain was you. **** 3 Likes |

These memories of yesterday... Flooded the banks of a basin long forgotten... Only to be rudely awakened by haughty waves straining to be free from its hold... And restraints themselves with gritting clams, and spaced shouts caused by tidal waves yelling: 'Dam(n)!' -She used to be the sweetest girl- |

here is another: Come see what i hold It's delicate than an egg Its the crown upon my head The very reason they buzz after me Like flies would rotten eggs All of them sweet tongued With protruding bags of gold yet i kept it so close for i wanted a sense of pride Then he came along Right from the eastern land Where Golden light cast upon his face His smile weakened my knee Broke through the wall of two decades And without a will or defence My pearl cast upon the floor Slain by tides of emotion And then he went With the tides of the western wind Alas, Your belated feet never saw that thing i fought so hard to keep **** 2 Likes 1 Share |

since no one wants to share. i might as well colonise the thread. The Perfect One He must think he's God Wielding the power to a soul My soul For i dance To the tune he plays This wild game with my heart Every string roped around the core of my soul When he leaves i weep My world shatters At the pull of his bag Helplessly i crave for the release of the pain inside caused by the same devil Long ago i traded my joy Sold my soul to the angel of dark Cuddled by the warmth of love And fed with the forbidden fruit Now, Everything is gone My joy, peace and well-being Even he too is gone The imperfect one who makes me warm ****. 1 Like |

Can you bring heaven down? Raise the tempo of my heart beat? Where's the cold cold midas touch? That would counter the heat burning me within Can the melody of your drums Make me tingle and wriggle till i go numb? I Wanna see you work over me like fine pottery keep me hanging at the edges of my desire Take me to the cleft of passion where my naive heart crave and long to be where men say heaven reside I wonder baby if you can Open forth those secrets with your touch Explore them with your lips on my skin Kill the boredom of empty promises Don't just talk the talk I want the words come alive in me! ***** 2 Likes |

I looked with awe into her eyes, guilty with pleasure yet so innocent, her breast seemed succulent, her ..mouth watery with passion,, oh yes.. fountain of pleasure, her laps ...hmmm.. shreder of samsonz dignity , With this nature imbued tools of Eve, she lured me into her den. My godlike structure awoken from slumber, Her experience yes I remember ,...unfathomable, My inexperience regretably despicable, the kiss lacked that artistery, an untested warrior in the best art of mankind, or so they say, i committed an unforgvable sacrilege, ...her eyes betrayed the disapointment.., she so neatly tucked in her agony., I was no match for this damsel., the message was daring yet plainly said. I should av knwn better, my mind whispered, her words still glitter, ''my darling'' she echoed, an innocent lamb slaughted with a touch of mastery,, i succumbed to this unknown pleasure...a fantasy that I drew inevitably into reality.. |

If i could never have you Then let life itself go Did i come so deep? Blame the pain that draws me to its valley like quicksand i sink like am falling through space If home is not with you then let me journey beyond and forget I love my life but i don't love its taste: bitter sweet fairer dark joyful pain every single vein constricted in grief Am sinking, melting like wax Please catch me if you can Or provide the punching bag. |

The road today is bored and exasperated, and a little remorseful too... Say hi to pretty Miss Oliver The one who loves more and still want all Can't seem to stick with only one D.ick Wanting even Harry, Paul and Roderick Teasing and taunting the masculine folks Using Eve's gift to trap them all in chopping their force With Delilah claws And Inviting them to the trap of Jeze's grasp. Phew! It too is vanity For the heart is never appeased At the end, there lays the seductress Swimming the oceans where lone hearts lounge Afraid to take the leap and tumble and fall Afraid to take the leap and make it all up. Afraid of the power to hold up one lamp And afraid to kneel for the claim of one man. Phew! It too is vanity |
