Five Words Thread

[soulfir3]

encounter, journey, smile, trick, time

I walk solemnly,
those few brief moments
clouded by soft walls of my dreams
that sweet innocent smile,
lingering on your lips
giving me courage;
acceptance of a journey not yet
imprinted by my own touch
a trick in time
taints my thoughts,
caught in torrent winds of nightmare
the acidic taste of fire
catches on my tongue,
I feel the rain against my flesh;
but there are no clouds
merely tears hazing my vision

pansy, daffodil, rose, cupid, hearts

[anirbas]

an odd flower garden...
cupid pink roses,
butter yellow daffodils,
and one pansy growing in the middle...
faces like unfurled hearts turned to the sun...

red, green, yellow, blue, purple

[soulfir3]

red, green, yellow, blue, purple

red, the colour of vibrant hearts,
painted on the outside of cards
which so many shall find comfort within,
drawing green eyed monsters
from hearts of others
left by the wayside
collective thoughts on wasted money,
yellow is the hue of carnations,
lining window sills
in silent reconciliations
which crime did he commit
on this un-rare occasion ?
blue gathers at the edge of purple tones
like silent marching soldiers
deep, penetrating protusions
a "man's" mark

truth, sincere, paper, contract, witness

[anirbas]

i am the sincere truth...
i am the contract...
i am the witness
of the signature
laid wet across paper...
i am the moment
that ripped the document asunder...
i am the biggest lie ever told...
i am insecure and bold...
i am nothing to many
and something to one or two...
i used to believe i was a poet...
able to word dance, most adroit...
now i believe, i just thought that...

common*access*shoe*thoughts*methods?

[soulfir3]

common*access*shoe*thoughts*methods

methodical thinking,
led me too believe
your words were no more than lies
lame attempt of pulling the wool
over the sheeps eyes -
access too a world full of riches,
left you assuming
that it was yours too take
sticky fingers -
a new nickname for you
common allegations of grandly
pursued crimes
thoughts for no one else,
but your sickly self centred mind
methods unthinkable -
cruelties against the innocent un-named
vicious retribution for turn of the hand
cowardice outset, you've run away
the shoe fits perfectly -
we'll catch you ..
one of these days

spandex, running, sports, splinters, feet

[amycando]

spandex, running, sports, splinters, feet

I'm wearing my spandex tonight
and I've been running a race
but not of sports
and what splinters I have found in my haste
are not in my feet . . .
but my soul.


slung, words, fighting, external, corner

[soulfir3]

slung, words, fighting, external, corner

In my corner I stand fighting
external demons lurch too near,
striking with fists and words
I am forced into retreating
away from where other's can not hear
acid hatred slung from those
I once proudly called friends
lewd and fithly suggestions,
turning stomach cold
with inappropiate appreciation

moral, healing, blood, family, water

[soulfir3]

moral, healing, blood, family, water

blood is thicker than water,
and yet the ties of family
fray and disperse far from the
base of my home tree,
roots ruptured with torture
exposed too failing light
only words of corruption
linger closely, leaving
wounds open and blighed
healing - they tell me will come with time
but i do not have it,
all that should have mattered,
has passed and eroded
down trodden under your feet and mine

blood is thicker than water -
there's a moral here I'm sure,
if only the blood in my veins hadn't been weakened
transfused uncaringly between
my heart and yours

slain, portray, mine, edge, conceal


I will see that fire breathing dragon,
that is the future I fear,
slain
that carcass of empty threat is mine,
it cannot conceal the nothing that it is
and it is going down over the edge
into the abyss of fears that were never realized
because the one who entertained them, ceased to do so.
Faith on the other hand portrays a future,
where I have taken back my power from fear
invested it in faith
in God
and in myself
and found the ways, peculiar to myself,
that my challenges might be handled successfully.


lightening, silent, float, softer, telling

[anirbas]

silent lightening of the night sky to a softer
translucent shade of blue...another evening gone,
another story in the telling told, too; another morning coming
to float yet another day of joyful mystery and veiled heartache in front of us...

[amycando]

duped*shafted*framed*dishonored*screwed

humankind has been duped,
shafted,
framed,
screwed,
and totally dishonored by. . .
itself.
The Cosmos,
God,
Universal Intelligence,
whatever,
smiles on it's babies,
and shakes it's head
wondering when we will stop trying
to escape being who we are,
trying not to be responsible for our flaws and mistakes
or trying to atone for them so that we are "even steven"
or trying not to be guilty of them at all by a winning argument that places the blame elsewhere.
In short spending all our time obsessing over our guilt instead of spending time using our goodness to make the world a better
place.

tattered, merge, responsive, heart, realm

[anirbas]

tattered heart is no longer responsive
to living in a realm governed by the malaise of yesterdays...
tattered heart would rather divide, not conquer; diverge, not merge...
not a matter of bitterness or a lack of forgiveness,
that emotion is unconditionally sacrosanct
and always freely given by the tattered heart...
sometimes, everyone needs a fresh start...
no less, for the tattered heart...
no longer a doormat...
or anyone's pet on a chain...
just because a heart is tattered...
doesn't mean it's into pain without gain...

bower*tower*flower*lower*mower


He gazed up at the chain of flowers hanging
from the bower window of the tower
And said"What am I supposed to do with these weeds?!"
and then: "Rapunzel Rapunzel lower your hair!"
to which she replied:
"not tonight dear I have a headache. . .
you know from the last time
you nearly yanked it out of my head
climbing up here."
Just then the gardener happened by
and caught and tore asunder the chain of flowers
on his medieval mower.

from the spire of delirium
a downpour of musical rivulets spilled
as the orchestra tuned up to play on the balcony,
from the spire of delirium

[amycando]

cutlery*stable*sink*pink*?salary

My salary is meager
but my heart is eager
to please you
you direct please, darling,
your judgment, more stable
for the doing I am able
let me sink down onto the bed
cutlery in hand
and cut the pretty pink pants
and I know my next line
it involves my tongue . . .
but it is non-verbal.


toes, intuition, drips, intricate, arises

[soulfir3]

toes, intuition, drips, intricate, arises

sinewy intuition drives the mind of my dictator,
his soft pliant fingers rolling over flesh
slow, deliberate drips of water on skin,
rolls down over finger tips
brushing against abdomen, constricts with
tenuous pain,
intricate patterns formed within the ice
holding me captive - my dictators mouth
flutters into a cold smile
my heart beat dips once.. twice
toes curling tightly as heat supersedes
not with pleasure, trying too fight the
coursing coldness of the water
intimately deliberate drips -
without conscious regret or need

[anirbas]

simple, Sunday, lunch, friends, champagne


a simple
dream of mine

lunch on Sunday afternoon
with you and our friends
around a table
sharing
a repast
of chocolate wedding cake
and Dom Perignon champagne
in graceful fluted glasses

it's probably insane
of me and you, too, quite possibly
to dare to dream this will someday be
something more than it is...
reality, not fantasy...

[amycando]

Okay, Sabrina,
Here is a link to where I go it's on a womyns forum but it'd a poem generator it give you options to what kind of poem but what it really throws up there on the page for you are words and phrases, that's where i'm getting my words i just pick them off the page:

confusion*imperative*reigns*input*preferred?

---

It is really imperative that neither the heart or mind reigns,
Their equality
or really rather their struggle for dominance of the person
may seem to cause turmoil or confusion
but it is the bickering input of these opposite approaches to life
that is to be preferred.
It makes all of our decisions genuine,
honestly considered,
not just the same old answer pasted in when
the circumstance really called for fresh consideration.

taste, sings, devour, enigma, watching

[anirbas]

[thanks, Aims...loads of words in my head...
just sometimes, the slate is wiped clean in the there...
and I can barely remember my dratted name...LOL...at worst,
stress kills...at best, it makes one highly forgetful...t-he...
now, where were we?]

taste, sings, devour, enigma, watching

watching an enigma devour itself
is something i've never developed a taste for
i'd rather sit in a tree with a bird that sings
out of tune and off-key songs in my ear
night and day...than to watch
an enigma devour itself
for one split second

proposition*premonition*plural*cardinal*juggle

---

I'm not going to juggle
a proposition and a premonition
It may be a cardinal flaw of mine
but I'd rather play it safe
and refrain from
seeking any intimacy with someone
than face another rejection.
The times I 've made a proposition and had it turn into rejection
are plural,
and I'd like to keep the numbers down and my heart in one piece.

force, focus, dreams, desires, bickering

[amycando]

force, focus, dreams, desires, bickering

---

Desires are a force to be reckoned with
they can creep into your mind at the wrong time
and spirit you away in dreams
only to be startled back to the moment
by embarrassment,
in your own mind,
bickering with your heart,
that your focus could be so easily abducted
from important things before you
to traipse the terrain of fruitless dreaming
in the land of lust.

fringe, melancholy, illusion, meaning, innocence

[anirbas]

fringe, melancholy, illusion, meaning, innocence

~*~

To search the fringe
of illusion and melancholy
seeking the meaning
of innocence, is at best,
a fruitless endeavor...
Innocence like truth...
Cannot be easily defined...
It means something entirely
different to each individual soul...
What one person perceives
as innocence, another sees
as vile and wicked...Yes?

tupperware*chainsaw*stethoscope*canvas*telephone

From tupperware to the humble telephone,
these uppity salesman, waltz up the foot path
towards my quietly kept home,
canvas their foot prints all over my lawn
toothy gawked smiles give little comfort,
I pray they will quickly be gone
and just as I think, they might just make it -
a chainsaw growl emits
from beyond the bush - ragged and harsh
as large as a swine and unfriendly too boot
my dear mastiff, Alli, comes galloping aloof
plastered in sheeting white,
dear suave salesman, skuttles back down the path
clearing the bush and the gate,
I wonder if I should offer him a stethoscope..
in which he can count his heartbeat's pace

curious, cat, cream, cuddles, claws

[amycando]

curious, cat, cream, cuddles, claws

---

Oddly enough
I can find quite a few catlike things about myself
but the cat is not one of my favorites,
I have one,
but I'd rather have a dog.
I do have a curious side
although it is not mainly concerned
with other peoples business,
at least not for malicious purposes,
and mostly in that instance for learning
more about what makes us humans tick.
I guess I'm like my cat when she cuddles
but I dare say I'd rather do it much more often than
that aloof creature.
I do like my cream in this life,
and yes I'm being intentionally vague on that one.
Claws, mine rarely seen,
except in defense of another.

wonder, pour, create, whisper, scintillating

scintillating
your whisper
in the shell of my ear...
with your voice, you pour wonder there...
that trickles to my brain to create
wonder there that trickles to my heart
to trickle into my soul...to create
more wonder...scintillating...
your whisper in the shell
of my ear...thank God,
I'm not deaf...

[anirbas]

An arriviste,
landing in a nation
of writers whose brains
are lacy as swiss cheese
with the fuzzy fusstiness
of reading through one
dictionary page to many...
Sleep deprived from writing
or reading way to much
and way to late
the night before...
Yes, an arriviste
landing in a nation
such as this...
Might think
themselves
surrounded
by a nation
of sleepwalkers
at times...LOL...

[amycando]

happy*enlightened*ignorance*subtracts*humanity

---

I wish humanity as a whole could be happy and enlightened
but I don't ever think it will be
not as an overwhelming group
for the most part.
the day we've all arrived at all the right conclusions
the day that signals
everything is known and stamped with concurrence,
is pretty much the day we're done here.
I'm not saying I know what the end of the world will be like or that we'll all be in the know by then,
but if we were,
it's pretty much over on this plane of existence.
A physical realm without the edge of discontent
becomes reruns of happily ever after.
Nope when it's all figured out it's definitely time to shed the cumbersome material plane.
Too much happiness subtracts from humanity in physical form
we have need to be forever becoming, not become
to be forever overcoming not on top of the mountain . . .
nothing to do there once the gloating is over.
All that said,
by all means,
we should all work for peace, enlightenment, and and end to poverty, I'd never suggest that we wallow in ignorance,
nor endeavor to stay where we are;
rather I seek to point out the illusive nature of the idea of making our individual worlds and the world, at large, into perfect utopia.

[anirbas]

I glisande across eggs broken into shells across a cracked floor.
I waltz with a broom, a mop, a towel wisking away tomfoolery,
indiscretionisms and acts of lost lunacy...In the real world,
I walk a path of shattered prisms of glass and twists
of razor wire...Broken eggs are nothing but a thing
to me, de rigor to the mafia cleaner...The governor
makes fantasy's mishaps and minions,
seem nothing more than situations
and characters in a fartytale...
Yes, I meant to spell, fairytale,
the way the word smells...
You havn't seen anything,
til you know what's real...
Real is about to hit you,
between the eyes...
I, too, can wear the smile
of vapidly blank disguise...

Join me in my invigorating,
yet highly stimulating,
seemingly neverending awakenings....
I can promise you a mesmerizing,
yet deceitfully hypnotizing,
refreshing, though somewhat scandalizing
adventure for such a short sided dreamer....
Did you really believe I wouldn't see
all of your little childish disguises,
through my third eye's vision?
You have got to be kidding me....
