Darlin' by OneMoreFreek

Darlin' You're So Blind 080401 My darlin' with closed eyes, fragile lashes. Brushin' willful blind eyes, my fingers round cheeks. Oh, darlin', why can't you see? You can't see, you don't-won't, you're blind to all you do. All you can see is those men, but darlin', darlin', you're so blind. My darlin', those men ain't got nothin' on you; & they can't do nothin' if you won't say “yes.” There may be monsters in your head, but, darlin', just ‘cause they’re there don’t make ‘em right. But you're blind to that, blind to what I see. Please see what I say. I’ll paint pictures with words if it

Theme 10: Autumn by Azuire

Amid the autumn leaves a flame With hidden brows upon the mountain A gust into the raging storm Across the meadow they rise and march Towards the north, a black heaven Wreathed the comfort of the shadow. The blowing speed now in shadow Turning and dimming the flame A fire lost within a heaven To shroud a clouded mountain A steady thump, a beat to march Till the branches sway in the storm the hourglass sands glossed in storm While the world sleeps in archaic shadow With dreams spent, they rise and march Recalling the days of burrowing flame Still the rocks fall down the mountain And the sky merges with heaven. The hail falls

Valentine's Day by Azuire

there's a dull silence in the hallway as you walk further and further astray choose a day from days gone by, if you would care to relive the moments--stealing food and patience but you still smell like orchids and fire. but there's hollow spaces where the stars should be-- and the movie theatre is quieter than ordinary there's a new door we haven't danced through yet and we missed another great sunset. your voice plays more often than the top 20 [but never can my mind wander towards you] I'll just brood over a bitter parting until not when or where I can look you in the eyes again.

Mine heart complains much in vain again and again of a name that means so much and yet again causes me such pain that even winter breeze cannot compete nor the thorns of sweet red roses beneath my feet and upon the shore of green and yellow blades of grass My darling love faceless, structureless less solid than running water upon a stream and yet I tell you when I wade my feet to cool I feel your body solid wrapping around mine like a dream must it seem so impossible for your love? Oh for God's sake make no mistake I love you more than I did an hour ago My groins are like pillars upon a shaking tower under siege and I am lo

I heard the door Click As you left The last time you left And I'm here By this bed We shared We fared Better than fair But it wasn't enough to make you Keep your heart In this one We'd become. Now the card that I have With the glitter hearts And the flowers rotting On the windowsill Reflect your face still And I hear the couples Outside my door Whispering their reminders That I'm in here With my thoughts, Warm beer, And something else...

Let's Save The World

“Let's save the world! (It's Valentine's Day)” I tell you all in one breath, misty mouths between masked up faces. Hardly legal Power Rangers red, black, and green stomping angry at the Ides of February. Hard boots clanging with every step, we leave a trail: burning Hallmark cards and graffiti on every storefront window loudly proclaim The Truth about Valentine's Day. Comic book tales bloody saints and Catholic killers, all for a man who never did exist; all for an imaginary martyr, a composite, a bishop, a priest, and an African martyr.

I was on my out of Tennessee with the tumbleweed winds and the Eastern sun on me As the sky lits up like a cigarette sleepy eyes crawl out of their nest and beds Then a thought or two springs like poptarts in my head The breeze is a beach and the heat is sand Hit the corner of the street hide the bunnies with the tambourines but your name it seems to be shifting on me I can't quite put it like a compass with no arrow life sure is weird down the straight and narrow Pink butterflies come out in the wind to built a castle in the sand or bury me I'll get right down on it eventually Your name is out there I can almost see but

Theta by OneMoreFreek

Theta 080118 Brain in pulsing theta and his eyes half slit he stares, ostentatious lips and kitten-scritch cornrows. He leans back slow against the wall smoking nostrils and smoky eyes. Hands with palms of well worn leather, hands tracing "come here" in the sky which floats gently gently gently between us. Deep set in brandy-sparkling skin, his pupils dilate with each undulating thought spinning, throbbing, drifting from his theta-wave eyes. Flashing lashes cast soft moonshine over high-cresting cheekbones. Broken beams spill like milk over my fingers, caught in his diamond-sharpened teeth. My chapped bottom lip --cra

Swish-Cthunk

Today I went down to the Bureau of Words to trade in my autumn onomatopoeia. Usually I put it off until at least the end of November, but this year the squelch-thud of my boots in the mounds of soggy leaves brought me up sharp. I went home, gathered my dry snaps, crackles and swooshes, as well as the cheerful spthooshk of a water balloon left over from August and headed down to the department. The rain hurried down to meet my umbrella, an excellent winter sound for which I had no words. But that would soon change. The stooped man at the front desk greeted me with a finger to his lips. "We're running the barnyard tests, so we've got to be v

My Blue Never Fades

My Blue Never Fades by Chermon Kennemur As the day brings on this rain and my thoughts extend my pain I can't see so clearly through this fog and haze The end of my troubles will meet the end of my days and I will find out that my color of blue never fades These whispers have cried the deafening truth I scream at these demons for stealing my youth Nothing comes out, but in the back of my mind the devil resides So I'm overwhelmed by the color glowing inside I tore out this heart of mine and replaced it with blue and this is the reason I do what I do.

The Name of the Game

The Name of the Game by Dana Y'ungblood Mama always told me that when you're playing with fire you're bound to get burned And, if you're chasing tail they'll be a lesson learned. So many times lust has led me along its trail, But at the end there was always this awful mell. Sometimes I wondered if the Devil could've drawed me a conclusion; I founded love in a woman named Maryjane to be a better solution. I used to run with Dollar Bill who loved to smoke dank, His best friend was a brutha named Big Bank Hank. Now, Mr. Dollar Bill was a cold-hearted brutha... Some even say he was a greedy Mo'phucka!

Back to It!!!

Okay, cats and kittens, I know I've been MIA for a while. Trying to get things back into shape and whatnot... Man, those personal issues are a total bitch, ain't they? :D But, I'll not let them drag me down anymore. You guys depend on me on like a fish needs water, and I'm the most important person in the world right now, I know (I just love these anti-depressants, they're so empowering :pills:), but on to more important matters. Okay, seriously, though, I've gotten our first admin volunteer. Let's give a big round of applause and an espresso to ~OneMoreFreek (https://www.deviantart.com/onemorefreek) for stepping up to lend a hand, despite his own undisclosed personal crises.

You Been Servered!

0 min read

Holy God, I've been about to start pullin' my hair this week! There's been a whole slew of surreal moments at work, which I won't bore you guys with here, but on top of that, even after refiguring my wireless connection, I've had more "Server not found!" messages than Paris Hilton's had internet sex tapes. But, it looks like everything's FINALLY back on track, and I can get back into the swing of things. So, sorry, guys, I know I've been absent lately, but there ya are: the internet hates my guts, hotel work sucks, and Paris Hilton is a rail-thin, nasty skank. Thank you! I'll be here all week, be sure to tip your waiter. Anywho, let's star

Okay, so I had to bite the bullet and reinstall the whole Bellsouth wireless network thingy, which is a huge pain in the sphincter, because once it connects during setup, all my happy antivirus programs automatically start updating, and the dragtime is ungodly. But, for all that, we are officially back in the game! :w00t: And I believe I now need to see some club submissions. ;)
