~Fawza Falih~

Kings create scapegoats
As the Shepard Lord does, in his flocks
And bend to scrape moats
To find a hairpin for the locks.
Black cat, hat to match
Pimple and crooked, always nefarious
Egyptian cat, good catch
She’s a problem vicarious

The modern witch hunting
From Wicca bacchic beginnings, static
And old-fashioned shunting
As written down in Arabic.
Denied riots, signed papers
Of intentional legal flaws, by Abdullah
Executed in smoke vapors
The only escape from Kulla.

—She “choked on some food”.

~ The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory ~

Seconds ripple across the North Pacific plane,
Drip dropping as quantitative quantum rain.
The silent percussion of scurrying Russian spies,
As tense hands shuffle packs of American lies.

Minutes accumulating like atomic crustacean,
Upon undersides of flagless ships no nation.
Passing clues in dark hues about invisible sticks,
And whose is the biggest to float down the Styx.

Hours’ hands upon blank hairless faces rotates,
Sluggish bearpaw prints as the predator waits.
New-clear handouts for bunkering tin cans,
As the frantic bald eagle talons bin ripped plans.

~.~Autoflourescent~.~

It's dark,
and I'm alone.
Our spark is burned out,
Oh, I should have known.

Good things rarely come about,
and never without consequence.
But this time I never thought we'd have a falling out,
I believed our love was autoflourescent.

Now I'm falling,
And I don't feel like stopping.
Into the blackness, your name I'm calling,
Inside my chest my heart is dropping.

This pain is unfathomable and neverending,
my mind is going through the chop shop,
and my heart is not mending.
Oh dear, make it stop.

If you ever loved me at all,
Make it end.
Towards you on my hands and knees I'll crawl,
away from the darkness, take my hand and allow me to transcend.

I liked it Windflow.

~ Latebricole ~

Tell-tale heart reversed
Wide eyes between boards
Thumping hearts under lumpy walls
Faceless, layered forms, like people
In damp attics
Hidden den
Scurrying
Like vermin
Soft scratches
In the households
Of the safe, where
WoMChildrEn are jostled, huddled in silen—

—Shhh!

Knock, knock…
Pest control
Dressed in uniform
And pellet guns
Mouth stopper filthy palms
The pinky litter is crying
Kill it
Stamp
Stamp
Stamp
Clamp
Cramp
It won’t stop,

Concentration
Camp.

~ Incubus ~

I miss
The wafting
Scent wisp'd in
Curtain moonlit veils
Through an open balcony,
Oval shaped with Gemini like
Two ovaries twinkling with a sticky
Substance, voiceless whispers of
Windless waves whip the silk
Sliding betwixt my milky
Legs, caressing like
Muscled tongues
On vulnerable,
Quivering
Skin,
Shivering
Like wet slippery
Eels, writhing between
The manly hands of the
Demons oozing from my skull,
Down my pulsing chest, convulsing
Past twin peaks, and tiptoeing
Down to the flushed chalice,
Unblemished by Mars’s
Virile rock, Sirius’s
Slather lathering
upon tides
Of lusty
Thirst

His voice, I can hear it
His touch, I can feel it
His presence, I miss it.

What has happened to A Poem a Day? Hmmm?

~ Too Old For Love ~

I know I'm asking you,
To back a horse that’s good for glue
When I say I love—
Don’t interrupt, the words are true
I swear by them, your name would be the last thing
On my entombed tongue,
Your face would be the last thing
In my easing eyelids
Sealing earthly ardor
For eternal one.

I know that I've,
Beat the dead horse alive
But now I voice it, I dive
Into your life, splash strive
Ripples in your day, ebbi ng a w a y
And I slip under surface tension, a lonely pension
You forget me,
You get for me,
A cup of cold, old coffee,

And say no.

Just what has happened
To A Poem A Day?
It sometimes seems
There's little poetic to say.
But this, I deem,
Is false. Laziness
Perhaps? Maybe we're
Just lost in craziness.
That, I fear
Causes lack of activity.
But is that an excuse
For no creativity?
Silence has little use.

That's my Poem for the day.

profiled.

The wolf panteth after a long journey and receiveth thine gift of water.
Yet what hast thou begat from thine kindness, the wolf hast hamstrung ye and devoured thine face.

Woe to the man who waters a starving wolf yet has no meat apart from his own substance. He shall surely perish from his ignorance.

Wanted to try out something archaic, not sure if it's entirely properly used. Also, just writing profiled would be quite lame.

A bit of a dark poem that I wrote earlier today:

--- When green turns grey ---

The night is brighter than the day
Death is brighter than life
Fun becomes a drag
Everything else, a torture

Body tied, mind trapped
Never look up, always look down
Darkness takes over
A never ending tunnel

Blanket of sadness covering the world
The grass, once green
Now it is grey
Looking through the illusion
You see the world's true face

The sky dark
The sun hiding
and when it does show
It's merely an annoyance

Trees die, creatures shy
But the end?
Nowhere to be seen

The Season of Man

~~Winter~~
A time of plotting
shake off the old and rotting
Open the mind
to ideas of any kind

~~Spring~~
The land is ours
A kingdom is like a field of flowers
Fresh and new
To be shaped by me and you

~~Summer~~
A time of great prosperity
To be led with much sincerity
The people are aglow
'Tis fear they've yet to know

~~Fall~~
The final season
Named so for a reason
To mark the end
And leave us to begin again.

=======================

I just threw this one together in a few minutes. Probably could have used some revising. It represents the rise and fall of many dynasties over the course of history.
