The waves
will wash
away
regretted
words ~

not the memory.

 

[Remec]

when spinning--don't
worry about stopping, just
keep eyes shut

 

[373Kelvin]

This is serious

voices low
hands lower
adrenaline
rising.

open your eyes, lover.

misunderstanding

I wasn't racing you;
I just like to run.

 

[TheRainMan]

voices low
hands lower
adrenaline
rising.

open your eyes, lover.

straight dope, from a man
who must know boiling points.

 

[TheRainMan]

I wasn't racing you;
I just like to run.

and you do—like clockwork,
the wind, my restless feet.

with your kiss

need more weapons?
here: a wheelbarrow
full. unlimb
your sister.

 

[cherries_on_snow]

hatred rots heart,
softens gums.
let it go, lovely
sparrow.

 

[RhymeFairy]

journey complete
highways end.
signed, sealed
delivered.
freedoms call

Suffering from
bidet envy
always wanted
a cold
white comode

the poet's pissing match,
though petty
produced myriad
marvelous paragraphs

 

[cherries_on_snow]

steel curdles
with your kiss

buildings
feint with your touch

Can a steel kiss support
buildings welcome to new feet?

 

[cherries_on_snow]

is rinse and repeat
like swirl around
swallow and spit?

I'm afraid one must decide
if one spits or swallows.

 

[Remec]

I'm afraid one must decide
if one spits or swallows.

A binding decision?
Or can each
mouthful be
enjoyed
independently?

 

[Remec]

Tongue caresses lips,
brushing sweet, salty
tastes inward to
savor.

 

[flyte]

the poet's pissing match,
though petty
produced myriad
marvelous paragraphs

poets pissing
perplexes
if not pisses
off puzzled
persons
completely.

Promises are only made
under the sheets
in the dark

 

[373Kelvin]

her heart
multiply severed
carefully sewn
together:
demons
ate
it

 

[Guest]

Aliens came while sleeping
molesting every fuck
I've never given.
