Flip-Flop Bleed-Not

Flip-flop and pitter-patter, Goes the song of my feet, Dirty shoes, they're warriors, Many streets sing sweet- With my foot beat. Streets; Our habitat, Our nature to nurture, Concrete and plaster the future. Oh, the trees they have eyes, But the street has a heart, Retains day's warmth, Glimmering... Sign in to see full entry.

Rhythm more

Rhythm rhyme and reason, Breeds in my mind treason, Confrontations and explanations, So trite and inconclusive. Words, they have no weight, So why is the impact so great, When they float into your ear, And make you feel like you're alive. Method to the madness, It siphons the sadness, Maybe makes...

spring!

Hey, now, Where's that west wind blow? To the earth or the sky, nobody knows. Yes, now, Do please pretty lady, Tell me, tell me how, The sunshine got to be so beautiful, Tell me how the bird's song, Became so magical, As to vibrate the soul. Hey there, Mister with his hands in the air, Do please... Sign in to see full entry.

Bench Beneath

Oh, I was just wondering, What you do when you hear the rumbling, What do you do when it all starts crumbling, And your life can no longer be contained, No matter how hard you clutch your fingers, Or how ardently you keep your soul restrained. Oh, I was just passing through, But, yeah, I saw... Sign in to see full entry.

Angel's Wing

I flew as is if on angel’s wings, And was dropped with the force of a thousand hammers, A beating, a bruising battery did befall me, As I crashed sickeningly to the ground. Oh! How these wings of purity, Left my back so readily, And let me fall back down. I was ripped towards the earth, By the world... Sign in to see full entry.

Man!

Standing Man! Corner Man! Dirty Man! Sad Man! Loud Man! Aged Man! Now Man! Can Man! Coin Man! Smoke Man! Cold Man! Wet Man! Alone Man! Wasted Man! Content Man! Full Man! Empty Man! What Is That Beauty About Which You Speak So Lovingly? Young Man! Have Your Ears Not Heard Of Poetry? Sign in to see full entry.

Seed drop, Earth embrace, Plant born, Down in dirt, It pushed out, Looking for sunlight, Plant say thank you, As sunlight stay silent, But feed it nonetheless. Sign in to see full entry.

I

I, I need to find a remedy, I need to see what’s inside of me, I need to discover what’s really going on, I need to see why I have to sing this song, I wonder if I was born this way, Born so I’d struggle with myself every day, Made to tip toe around importance in every way, Made to look at the sky...

You see it too

Water quickly by my flows, Plant mocks me as it grows, Men stone themselves to become one who knows, No one has everything, But all want it all, I feel like you just jumped at the casting call, And that you, my pseudonym of a friendship antonym, Are just a creation of whatever you think you should...

Aliterate my eff

Its the Flowing, ferocious, fleeting, Flailing, failing, faulty fallacies, Of foreground, of fierce eyes, Of frivolous five die, the fickle, The frail, of flags fishing for fire, The flexible, flirtatious, Fleeting, formal fox-hole friends Find in fraternity, Of frugal frogs fixing food in fear, Of...
