The sleeping squirrelDreamt of trees full of acorns,
Dancing with the nuts.
The soldiers, shell shockedfrom many wars, loudly sang,
waltzed among the huts.
The natives, puzzled,
strummed strange guitars, their women
dancing with the nuts.
Women are a puzzle,
a dilemma and blessing
much like goddesses.

She danced the nutbush naked, loco. Every eye
was glued to Coco.
Her brush with the bushLeft her youthful and soft skin
Oozing her ardour.
Privilege breeds disconnectionswhile nuts
lie against the earth
Wex’s wit, uncouth,uncivil, made all pretense
at manners shrivel.
When the blonde waltzed in,Wex was decked. Shriveled manners
quickly stood erect.
Her dark-lashed eyes heldless than desire. “Will that old
musket even fire?”
Thank you! I see, however, that in my haste I forgot she was a blonde.
In a bid to helpchestnut blonde defrocked. Wex's
gun went off half-cocked.
That it had gone offat all was reason to have
a masquerade ball.
Glitters and feathers
veiled his pale face--he rocked the
ball with his dance moves.

By fractured moonlightshe writes poems on my skin
in cigarette burns.
She did them to herself tooher story had to be told
and skin was the perfect canvas.
In permanent inkher name is tattooed between
starlight and daybreak.
Thanks Guy. It's really hard to write to you guys level.Ps- Good work Ryan
Thanks, Lee-lette :)Your tongue on my lips,
cigarettes, a whisper of
freedom and danger.
The sound of his nameon lips that once whispered mine,
nails scrape a chalkboard.
It's kind of lonely in here...Spring cleaning windows
a paw print from last summer
fractures the sunlight.
sinking ebbs mimicthe flight of swans
and the pier unravels
(Sorry for muddling the beauty of yours, R & A!)
the distant sound of
a ship's horn drowned the musings
of a weathered heart
(sorry too, hehe)

What cool company to be in ;)Clock hands meet briefly,
measure the time they're apart
the way we once did.
dried leaves tucked in the
pages of an old book made
her brown eyes glassy

the rain poured down through
the holes in the roof, drenching
thoughts of paper planes

he used to write her
love letters, until the day
the water ran dry

Repentancethat's the way he went
but his soul was already lost
his poster painted
a face covered with shame; his
eyes revealed his soul

eyes revealed his soul
His souldark and bleak
the epitome of tragedy.
she wondered if a
dying toenail was tragic
enough to wear black
dying toenail was tragic
enough to wear black
It was indeed tragic!what else could bring such a smell?
hopefully black will mask it well.
Dressed in black, smellingrotten; that stench the final
nail in the coffin.
seventeen the keyheaven is found in seven

oops I broke the threadnow I wish that I was dead
"paint it black," I said
a palette with dried
paint sat in the corner of
his abandoned room

light shatters my fear,when starry beauty appears,
I cut off my ear.
"Just a pause," he thought.
He subjected himself to
her endless whining.

Went into one earbut not quite out the other
the secret of love
the storm had passed but
left devastation in its
wake, just like her love
left devastation in its
wake, just like her love
He stands on a ledge;one more tree in a forest
with no one to hear.
Nor might he now bea scrub cedar had he deigned,
for once, to heed her.
