OZYMANDIAS- THE PHARAOH MADE IMMORTAL BY SHELLEY
Here is someone who is worthy of all the grace, Let me describe his glory before his name gets erased, The Pharaoh Ozymandias of Egypt, Who was even worthy of Shelley's praise. He has done a lot I feel, Even though I cannot see his real reel, I am sure he was praised well, Even by the worthy poet for that- I...

Premium Member Eagerness
“Great eagerness in the pursuit of wealth, pleasure, or honor, cannot exist without sin.” Desiderius Erasmus it’s flesh versus flesh in the pursuit of life, great kingdoms have been built on rivers of blood, history knows the fate of knife versus knife, destiny has it’s own rules for bad and good! Tiberius’ built wealth with sharpness of sword, starved to death old...

Green
stay your hand with its obtund touch take away your arid mouth, your incurious eyes from me, from my unscaled sight you are but dull clay, Ozymandias, barren and I am fresh green that strives for the light spilling from your crumbling ashlar jubilant, with scarlet buds to catch the rain and burgeon in its caress to sway with the tumult of the wind to kiss the voluptuous sky to...

A Sonate of Lust
I would dance on your tongue for 3 days in a row. until you were completely wet. pray for submission, pray for love, a love that burns, in the body, in the soul and between the legs. Burn where your juices are ready to flow. and you in fire, do not whisper, but moan, as...

Bed of Lies
Freedom startles me Since fear is encircled behind your beds of lies Acclaimed messiah plays a game with you Compelling you to be the pawn in your competition Every drop of his utterances counts As my blood bubbles With no pale to be submerged into Yet, I could bath with it. No one is your saviour They are just a pollution...

Premium Member Swimming Against the Current
[Note: You will see in the work below connections to other poems I have posted here. Those poems are tangents to this poem that more completely tell the tale of rise, pride, hubris, fall, and reckoning. -- DT] Wire me up! Run that current through my head! Suck the marrow from my bones! I’m swimming with the mermaids...

The Day of Recogning
The day of reckoning A bird with an enormous wingspan darkened the sky it was a night of horror in the Middle East. A new country born in sin and filched land arose blood ran in ancient, narrow cobblestoned roads. The people fled over a broken bridge, now live far from the homeland, the dream of returning is alive. Young men...

The Song Contest
The song contests I came across an apple tree it looked like a child’s idea of this type of tree, big red apples and a blue sky; when I realized I do not like big red apples have farinaceous and taste like they were dreaming of becoming potatoes and not picked at by bird. I joined my wife she...

Premium Member Slipback
You must see Slipback, the popular new app! It's a primary clock of tick-tock; brief time-travel is what you can make. Anything can necessarily be changed in and for just a few seconds. Certainly, lives may unravel, living life as a movie with a second take. "Misremembering" becomes a thing. Challenging what was done is done. Eliminating what we thought was a mistake. Creating misery...

Talking To a Skull
There I was, stranded in a hull Talking to a skull While trapped in the Maw of the deep Cold Water at my knees I started to plea, "Why Sell my Soul to the Deep?" While dead men say nothing Cold Water at my thighs Now i started speaking lies "The doors creak shut, i tried," Empty black eyes gaze Salt in the mouth, i...

Soliloquy
Sigh Someone say Something Sate my starving Synaptic surges That slowly but Hopefully won't Succumb to so Stated selfless Self-proclaimed Salesmen and Women Selling Subjective Sylabbic Alphabet And omega Steamed Stodgy Soup That I seemingly Stir slightly Swirling With a Spoon While Staring Some Where Where Babel has Fallen into Babble but Silas sings Off these Shackles So sing I while Silent Stupid Sheeple Graze on This page And no one Says anything Sigh...
