Grand Duchess Elizabeth down that mine shaft,

Shoeless, shirtless; clad in pinstriped gray dress slacks
and semi-sheer socks, he studied all night for
the morning's test. His socks were delightfully
fragrant, and they carried, still, the dried streaks of
his BoyFriend's sweetstuff.... [read more] |

Waste of Time
You know I didn't understand until now why my mother didn't date when we were growing up and she was single or why my older sister waited at least 6 months before a person was invited to the house to meet family or even get the... [read more] |
Teytonon posted a new Poem titled For relief, get relief 2 weeks ago
It's been my longtime belief
If you're hurting and need some relief
Do I need to explain?
You need to obtain
A relief pitcher who won't give you grief
I hate to sound repetitive
But in order to remain competive... [read more] |

Dawn broke,
and she tumbled into
bed.
Dawn broke,
and I sensed her through
the murky clouds
of vague dreams.
Dawn broke,
and I thought I sensed
her good morning
kiss upon my bare
shoulder.
Dawn broke,
and I stirred awake,... [read more] |

Pig Pen of Words
The bond is a rope,
a lash, a knot—
cords that tether,
cords that bruise,
a ligature of loyalty and loss.
We are bound as hogs are bound,
trussed like pork for market,
roped like boars dragged from the sty,... [read more] |

There's a man in my co-op named Gus
Who is hated by all of us
Every shareholder

We all wish he gets hit by a bus

Hope you all stay safe from their very bad intentions
One after another they come out this time of year to chase
Lingering near who they believe to be the most easy prey
It's nothing but another con job to them
Devils in the guises of pitful angels... [read more] |

A Bitter Taste
Even when
we ourselves do not hold
that box full,
others hold their own,
adding new and stunning pieces
colored by the others,
colored by remembrance,
held so tightly
within their arms,
blocking the heart,... [read more] |

Nothing here to be thankful for
Oh no! Not at all!
This has been beyond the very worst of times
Hell come to stay
A river too deep and wide to cross
Never meant to fall
King of cool
So cruel broke an innocent heart and now....
Grief consumes... [read more] |
