t tattered red dress those rouged cheeks that roar the tired laughter from a queen blowing easy in the wind who will weep now for that jaunty gait the staccato of worn out stilletos echoing loudly against darkened halls painting the lonely nightsky red who indeed certainly not the kings the soldiers the actors that groaned and moaned in her bed the traffic signs will remember and the streets that shared her rampage the paling moon by the crack of dawn and that lamppost she calls home they will remember they will weep and not forget posted by gentle at 5 59 pm 3 comments labels poetry

me from such hatred tap tap tap oozing from your eyes tap tap tap it soars with my grief as you mix them croaking with diabolical devotion bloated frogs swimming on your cauldron tap tap tap and must you laugh you hag you witch your big ugly laugh as you drown me down your wicked brew tap tap tap and oh those grimy things you spit the muck that cake your lips from the putrid words they feed you

poetry saturday may 30 2009 whore i say whore i say cheeks slightly ruddy from the sweltering heat you look from left to right right to left gasping a little in admiration of the pristine construction a true bourgeois beauty deserving nothing but a well poised pout and slightly raised eyebrows before blowing em a kiss whore i say as you hold on to your waist and to your breath you shift your gaze down and curl those lips the way those wet locks curl as they sizzle drying in open air oh those deliciously devious lips devoid of mercy when aimed at paralyzing targets within that unforgiving ten mile radius now that gaze seems to say bitch you still have it whore you still got what it takes to make that mirror steam and break and sin lusting for your attention whore i say you woke up today gasping for air as if just come from a long winding dream and you realize the mirror doesn t seem so friendly anymore so flattering so sparkling now that you re 28 and you realize it s just a slow downhill trek long and winding from here on posted by gentle at 4 42 pm 3 comments labels poetry tuesday may 5 2009 my mind wanders my mind wanders in circles in doodles like my pen scratching this antiseptic blankness of paper my mind wanders like a sparse sprinkling of stars floating in the womb of the night dying quietly at the strike of daylight my mind wanders like a dragonfly skirting the still waters of a pond droning endlessly never touching ground my mind wanders like a puff of smoke dancing rolling ghost like hovering over my nicotine stained teeth and tongue puff goes another blank sheet and another puff endless circles endless doodles deep into the night into the day my mind wanders droning endlessly my mind wanders posted by gentle at 2 46 am 4 comments labels poetry

to see you go posted by gentle at 9 34 am 1 comment labels poetry sunday april 12 2009 wild child woke up to the morning sun kissing me warm i can still feel it little tingles that run like rivers on my belly my neck and my arms telling me to cartwheel out my window and ride a dragonfly passing by to see my happiness reflected on wispy wings that chart the colors of the sky to hear my heart stutter as we flutter through the wind touching grass wet with dew to feel my ears go numb in anticipation of a slowing due a mid air transfer free falling tumbleweeding landing softly on a butterfly s velvet wings to taste my excitement as we glide oh to glide hair matted with dirt and twigs and leaves that dried into the sun wings flapping gliding into the sun to stare at it and not go blind to stare at it and not go blind posted by gentle at 8 39 am 5 comments labels poetry thursday april 9 2009 crimson flowers a rhyme before bedtime tiptoe tiptoe sneak quietly duck hide dive when you need

27 2009 at sundown the butcher and his wife are at it again in the other room he with the knives and she with the axe throwing blades and parrying arguments over dinner by candlelight the air blooms sweet with murder and carved chicken the smell wafts through your room brings you to your knees in silent supplication for a truce to end all hostilities for a truce to end your duties you hate bloody

past these velvet drapes these motes these echoes that bounce up and down these walls you are not the dining table nor its maggots aching in endless fornication you are not the chandelier the padded rooms the straight jacket nor the warden s truncheon they all call out to you his royal highness to which you bow and you curtsy leaving them all in darkness the light falling out your doorstep smell of your mother s cooking that day you turned thirteen hungrily you step out past all the madness into that sunlit street that call to you from half remembered dreams the sunlight kissing your back flutter gently like a thousand butterfly wings the grass remember you from when you were but a child dragonfly chasing slowly you break into a run past the rabbit the magician and the clown how odd it seems you tell yourself that the circus came to town as you make a dash for the old storehouse sleeping by your crown take heart troubled child hear your father s ghost singing in moonlight while in that faraway world where the sun licks you turn the door handles til you hear them click the air in the storehouse is hot and humid memory in this place it seems is thick you rummage the boxes for grimy chocolates taking false comfort in anything that s sweet beside you you begin to notice your father s ghost jumping like a kid he found his toy happy and quick you wonder where your happy box might be you wonder could there be one for me furious you start with the mad hunt furious you howl by the pale light of the moon bathing your cell you fill your lair with grunts posted by gentle at 4

tight shut doors i beat inside my head in between these ears inside this hollow house that reeks of my stench and quakes with my fears i beat in faint whispers in the dead of the night these long forgotten syllables this half remembered might so delicate in one single babble twil flower in sight and so i beat with these small voices softly cooing in the ears of this catatonic shell i ve once

twist some more grunting your gut out in a grim grimace what more can you do when all those billowing and swirling shapes are there up in the ceiling and you are here nestled in your sheets scarred and scared shitless shitting yourself shit oh shit you are not satin nor silk like you once thought my dear as to billow swirl and unfurl the thought just makes my blood curdle you are paper plain and

2008 carnival queen the moon hung low amongst the tents tonight for she heard a song that bespoke with delight of a grand spectacle sung by dreamers of jesters and fire eaters midgets and jugglers a shabby court dancing defiant of their queen and her poodle lover with a tongue so clean in measured steps and careful laughter the magician conjured the poison orders nothing to be spared of her not even her garters not one poodle hair on her white white garters the balloon man howled signaling the pack the start of the hunt with the moon on their back carnival queen oh carnival queen where art thou our beautiful queen cried the sweet murderous chorus out for a scream carnival queen oh please do no fret we promise to be gentle in staging your death not a drop spilt or your ball gown s wet she ran and ran fraught with fear for she hears their footsteps ever so near nestled in her bosom her poodle prince flicks his tongue and licks her skin sigh and sizzle she muttered some relief all she wanted was a reprieve from grief for loving her prince fangs fur and tail was it ever so doomed as to end in this trail a lovers cliff opening to sea arms outstretched offering rest she stops on her track breath heaving looking through his eyes searching for meaning her court will soon meet them certain and unforgiving ____ the moon dipped on the black waters this night for she witnessed a spectacle that ended in heights she danced and she swirled shining and beaming asking a question that henceforth goes ringing carnival queen oh carnival queen where art thou now oh beautiful queen
