Five Words Thread

[Sam]

bribery, judgement, lies, sinful, desire

Through your sinful desire,
your lies, bribery and deceit
you have made yourself
the judge and jury...
But through your fury
you have not yet seen
the hurt your lack of judgement
has poured out over
the rest of our family.
You are blinded
by your need
of total control
and though
your eyes are open
they might
just as well
be closed.
I can only pity you now...

explanations, discuss, reconciles, divided, envy

[Sam]

explanations, discuss, reconciles, divided, envy

No explanations are needed
there is nothing left to discuss.
You envy and crave
much more than I gave
and until love reconciles with hate
we are just
another house divided....

dream, spring, ring, thing, sing

[soulfir3]

dream, spring, ring, thing, sing


I dream of relaxing
under a sky of grey
where water rushes
cool and splashing
from spring of rain
spouting from the depths of the earth
blessing new growth
with sun bound birth
watching birds
disappear into clouds
only their fine tuned whistles
give a clue too their existence
songs of which
I would happily listen to them sing
a thing of the past
beauty gone
no rain here,
only lonesome soil
can be found here now,
in unvarying shades of
burnt sienna brown

fashion, disaster, laughter, mayhem, mismatch

[dawness]

fashion, disaster, laughter, mayhem, mismatch


---

my child breathes in a rhythmic fashion
like a guru unknown to mixed sorts of mayhem
not even the katrina disaster can
mismatch the tranquility
born from such innocent, silent laughter
humming from her essence.

vestal* statue* thrilling* babel* smudged

[amycando]

vestal* statue* thrilling* babel* smudged

Vestal school girls huddled in a corner
babeling about how thrilling
are experiences they have yet to have
as they giggle over a picture of a statue
that is anatomically correct,
should enjoy this time before their innocence is smudged
and then altogether wiped away
but they don't and they won't
they can't wait to lose what they won't appreciate until hindsight.


rising, wild, laugh, tossed, time

[anirbas]

rising, wild, laugh, tossed, time

~*~

Time is a rising, wind tossed, wild laugh.
Echoes of tag! You're it! Let's play hide and seek!
Now you see me! Now you don't!

One minute you have enough
of it--time--to do everything
you want, on the planet.
The next second, time runs out...

Leaving nothing but the sound waves
of it's rising, wind tossed, wild laugh
resonating, in it's never enough of it, wake...

aggravation*arbitration*anarchy*analyzation*apple


My spirit prays for divine arbitration
between the logic of my mind and
the unbridled passion of my heart
but still anarchy reigns
the rule of no rule
and I'd hate to see an analyzation of that
it is the age old struggle of the aspects of humankind;
that aggravation
around since Adam got the first bite of apple stuck in his throat.


bonfire, security, tropical, unknown, eons

[anirbas]

bonfire, security, tropical, unknown, eons

for eons, she's been bugging me to bake this cake...
now, baby girl is speaking up from the security
of the living room, just as I hit this thread...
mom, I know the art of cooking is not unknown to you...
will you please start a bonfire, make the house warm
as a tropical island, baking that cake, I keep asking for?
and while your in the kitchen, can I can get on the computer
and check my e-mail? she didn't quite put it like this...
this narrative verse is the gist of what she said...
what she really said was will you bake that cake?
and while you're at it, can I check my e-mail?
but, the five words weren't listed in those questions...
so, I had to get creative, just to use them and say
at the same time...i'm history...off to bake pastry!

epicurean*equistrian*pedestrian*historian*glue


I am certain my daughter is an epicurean,
stuck within a child's life
who's ideas of grandeur,
are greatly misleading too her
actual real time life
as I read through her story book
the one she uses with glue,
I spot pictures of proud equestrians
by which she has written -
in child like scrawl
" i would like two "
a horse of any colour,
though she grins as she admits
there'd be no argument..
if I permitted her to have them all
I try explaining in child like understanding
that a horse is not a toy
and can not be bought with nothing
nor kept indoors
then my little historian,
pulls out a book and proudly points
too other children,
riding on fancy high steppers
and demands to know why
children her own age
are allowed such expensive rides
I can not help but laugh and smile
at her misunderstanding,
thinking she was be so smart
I tell her simply like so,
that is a horse is what she would like
then she has a few more years too
look forward to,
of pedestrian style ambling
while collecting up her savings

( pulling up lame this afternoon , brain just couldnt get around the words lol .. )

navy, stripes, proudly, shipmate, captain

As the Captain in the Navy
proudly states,
"Wear your stripes proudly,
all you new shipmates....
We will pay for the mistakes
that come our way
and risk our lives
so others can stay home
and constantly complain"...

eagle, dare, silence, golden, transform

[soulfir3]

eagle, dare, silence, golden, transform

Silence is golden,
how I wish I could dare you
to hold your tongue,
not speak a word again
let the hurt and angst you've caused
too slowly be undone
knowing that it is all a waste
there is no chance for you
too transform,
living to long in a world of deceit
expecting everyone else
too simply bow before you
grovel at your feet -
how disappointed you'll be
when on our knees we are not
an eagle is not your prophet
you are merely a sheep -
lost from it's flock

babies, bottles, blossoms, beauty, beginnings

[Sam]

There is nothing to compare
with the new beginnings
of precious, fragile life
coming in the springtime.....
The beauty is all around us
if we take the time to look...
Walking though the park,
or through the city streets,
babies with their bottles,
blossoms in full bloom,
the orchids sweet perfume....
Tender smiles on elderly faces
sitting on their porches
hearts once again filled
with newfound hope
as they wave in timid greeting.

register, candy, hearts, envelopes, lovesick

[anirbas]

register, candy, hearts, envelopes, lovesick

sealed envelopes
carrying lovesick hearts
disguised as cards,
register in the mind
of the lovelorn receiving them,
as metaphorical candy...
giving them a taste of the lover
sending the card they are missing
on Valentine's Day...

*best i can do, Sams...tired...
suffering brain drain...just can't sleep, yet...*

[soulfir3]

smile*release*insomniac*book*driving

I hope I can help you to smile
as you think of this insomniac
driving bumper to tail
amidst the cattles lonesome wails
upon a bike made for two,
on unstable wheels of four
bumping over rocking ground
one more cow,
which to be found
so I can continue on my morning trek
too get the milking done -
then maybe,
I'll get back to bed
and what's the bet I still won't sleep
instead I'll be stuck
without a peep
a book in hand too feed my dreams
I wish the cows would milk themselves
so I could have myself some nocturnal release

dogs, puppies, chasing, balls, water

[anirbas]

ggglgggl...that's a good and funny one, Soul...made me think
of my dad's stories about growing up on a farm...

[anirbas]

dogs, puppies, chasing, balls, water

chasing balls across lawns
and through puddles of water...
dogs and puppies have all the fun...
as they happily jump, run and romp
their way through life...we claim them
as being ours...we, whom as humans
are shackled to everyday strife...
and have forgotten how
much fun it was to run,
in the wake of a rolling ball
when we were carefree children...

[Sam]

(Just don't try this on the BN board!!) They get mad!!! ha
*Well, let me go look these words up.........redneck girl, you know....later......bye......poor dumb me.........hee hee

[amycando]

melancholic*vitriolic*narcoleptic*symbiotic*parasitic


Don't be vitriolic
it makes me melancholic
it isn't symbiotic
but thankfully not parasitic
and though your bitterness does make me want to escape
of which sleep can be a kind
it does not make me narcoleptic.


flinching, pan, under, scent, captured

[soulfir3]

flinching, pan, under, scent, captured

flinching under critical eye
of those she called her friends
I watch my child change
from confident too shyly hidden
captured in their web of hurtful words
there's nothing I can do,
too make her see their words are merely lies -
so powerful are the influences that
she believes she's not enough
not a drop of food will touch her lips
no matter what goes in the pan
makes me so angry, I just want to scream
that a child of seven should have to be told
she is okay as she is,
despite how other children may critisize
the scent of food makes her ill
and I don't know how,
too make this situation healing
without dragging her through more hell
her small frail body worries me
and other parents don't seem to see
that everything their child has said,
is destroying her self belief

seemless, weaving, cotton, silk, needle

[dawness]

seemless, weaving, cotton, silk, needle
----

the many patterns of life
seemless at the hems like cotton
weaving carpets of roller coaster rides,
fluffy, fluted and fiery,
this journey in emebedded by walks
where needles upon feet
feel like silk
when a magical discovery is shrined
in souls always in the brink of hope


WEEDS * TORMENT * BAROQUE * SHELL* GLIMPSED

[Sam]

WEEDS * TORMENT * BAROQUE * SHELL* GLIMPSED


Must you torment me
with your baroque style?
The weeds grow high
along the castle walls...
I glimpsed the shell
of what I believed at the time
to be the man of my dreams
but now who seems to be
just a tangled barbed mess
dressed in elaborate clothing....
A sissy!!
And not much use
to me.....

delicious, fried, easy, baked, chocolate

[soulfir3]

delicious, fried, easy, baked, chocolate

chocolate,
thick and gooey
as it slowly runs over the
round red strawberry
placed on a plate
amidst a row of morish
sweets
baked tarts
and fried starters
easy finger foods,
delicious torture
allures all with a sweet tooth
from the table at
my daughter's birthday party

numbing, explosive, torture, nightmare, bombs

[amycando]

numbing, explosive, torture, nightmare, bombs


Life is explosive
and I hate it when those bombs of reality
drop on your head out of the blue
just when you thought maybe you could relax
for a second.
Yet having said this I still do not think it
makes it prudent to spend each moment
angst-ridden against what the next may bring
for this makes torture of life
and more than that such an approach to life
makes it's own nightmares come true.
In truth, at times, I wish for a numbing against
the worst life can dish out
but only for an instant
because I've been there,
done that
and the black and blues are worse
when the feeling comes back.

weave, whisper, harsh, ice, glimpse

[soulfir3]

weave, whisper, harsh, ice, glimpse

a glimpse of what could be
as ice slams harshly into body of water below
weave of rushing torrent
spouting from brief moment of freedom
sun beats his harsh rays upon
fragile existence
whisper from the wind, teases our
lonely life time
perhaps we are not as great
as would like to think we are

time, act, change, pollution, acid

[anirbas]

time, act, change, pollution, acid


the act of change,
in time, creates it's own pollution...
wafts of acid waste, spent emotions left in our wake...
the fumes of which still can and do pollute our present...
and pollute the change we worked so hard to achieve...

perforated*delegated*belated*spontaneous*spillage

[amycando]

perforated*delegated*belated*spontaneous*spillage

I worry about the spillage of tears from my perforated heart,
such floods can come on
spontaneously, without warning
when one engages in the risky practice of suppressing
ones feelings.
Something you thought you had
relegated to the farthest dark never seen corner of your heart
has actually been delegated to the subconscious mind
which doesn't care if it embarrasses you at an inappropriate moment.
Then you find yourself with the belated task of dealing with
what you went to such lengths to avoid.
