Challenge: The Perfect Ten (v2.0)

[vampiredust]

Pigeon

Slip off your dulled
uniform, show me
your hidden colour.

 

[vampiredust]

Still flaccid, moonlight
tiptoed across the kitchen
floor, wanting escape.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Beware that night terrors
do not pursue into the daylight

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

blowing on frozen fingers
stamping numb feet

[Remec]

The winter's chill
is nothing next
to her closed
heart.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

When there is nothing else
smile till your face hurts

 

[vampiredust]

Artichoke

Pluck off each leaf
until the nub is exposed,
willing.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Artichoke

Pluck off each leaf

Are we allowed to make comments on here? Just want to say that is IT!!

Tc

Chatterton opsimathically perceived
his lateness all too soon

 

[vampiredust]

Unwrap the city's lights.
Make me blind, make me sing.

 

[VividDesires]

Shared saltiness
Awkward morning smiles
...Repositioning
For yet another go

 

[OT]

OMG
ding
high handprints on the elevator wall

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Drools over Dwight Yoakam's
sexiest legs on the whole planet

 

[vampiredust]

Frozen

Winter chokes,
grabs the river's throat,
makes our love gasp.

 

[vampiredust]

Reflecting on an Overdose

The pills you took -
misshapen dreams,
wire in the throat.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

New Years day

The drink created biological
hurts the brain
leaves us philosophical

 

[vampiredust]

This morning's hangover -
a donkey on my back.

 

[PandoraGlitters]

Always better to carry
the donkey than to be one.

 

[vampiredust]

Prayer

Your waxwork lips
melting,

my hands ready
to reshape.

 

[PandoraGlitters]

It is the same:
where we go,
where we've been.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Frisky fillies require
informative gentle handling
to capture their fire

 

[vampiredust]

Season

The checkmate of cloud
conquers blue. Rooks
sing, blossoms weep.

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

The thought police are
out in force
anal retention required.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Old salt pickled at sea
in Davy Jones's locker room

 

[PandoraGlitters]

ten small indentations
on your back
of my curled toes
