      A Little Less

      Everyone on these streets  wants to be a blade  the men who slit throats   have time on their side,  what use a shotgun  against twelve cleavers?    Grace and humility  unwrapped Christmas gifts  at the foundation of tree,  and yet, they still wonder  Why santa is such a cunt?    Tears fall like Elvis tears  yet to know you...

      • This has anger and sadness at what people have fallen for.

      • damn. No sharp instruments for you. Yet your pen is cutting!

        • They only let me eat with a spoon – no knives or forks in sight. Knife crime is off the scale over here and it’s utterly depressing. Teenage gangs. This poem just doesn’t convey what I really wished to convey / articulate and the xmas metaphor doesn’t work.

          • many times when we write out an idea, it goes into a totally different direction, etc, than we imagined. It doesn’t mean it is less. It just shows that we are multi-faceted thinkers.

    • Change Of Season

      Dusty relics of forgotten lore Hidden behind lock and key Shadows rise to hit the shore While dreams wash out to sea   Stillborn inside a think tank Where ideas get thrown around  An empty stare becomes blank Till lightning strikes the ground   Archaic riddles flow like wine Ambitious...

      • We are so long overdue for one. I’m hunting light and warmth everywhere I can find it these days. I think we all are. I’ll gather dead fall if you get some matches. We can dance around the bonfire of hope, my friend

        That alone cooked the cerebral synapse…
        Here you go … still throwin poetic anchors into
        this sea of rhapsodic artistry

      • Chère C.,
        What a beautiful write!
        Love it that you wrote it.
        Love it even more that you’ve posted it.
        I tried to single out which sentence drew me in.
        But I can’t.
        I’ll read it again tomorrow.
        Until then….

        Kind regards, Gus

      • “Sanctuary in a smile”. After the “lust’ settles and there is just the warmth holding each other, it is the “smile” that says everything and how you can stay in that moment forever. It’s that smile that tells you you are home; where the momentary “lust” becomes more.

        I enjoyed reading your poem Crimsin.
