    • If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol. And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And if I dole out all my goods, and if I deliver my body that I may boast but have not love, nothing I am profited. Love is long suffering, love is kind, it is not jealous, love does not boast, it is not inflated. It is not discourt

    A Penny Cut In Half a Dozen

    A penny a dozen, army of love send me some seven times over, cover my body with cotton candy until I’ve drowned into the queen of sadism’s screaming sound, masochist wooden puppet, kiss me till I burn and turn to ash, sweep me in a silver pan and deliver my delicate remains to the ocean stained paint all salty with golden sand grains, bane, and of zero substance separate from bliss in an earth of green mist, velvet waves I crash onto you like a suede sheet, plastic and discreet, satin pillows feathered and deserted alive alone alike a prisoner poisoned pointing towards the warden and his whip, weeping willow wilted like week old roses, I weep next to a tilted vase before broken, locked in time, drifting in space, I walk this land as the second hand stops to take a look around, this town is stale with lost air still in stare, stairs to stars I peel back my lids to reveal my eyes, all colored worlds within a pearl, you have no understanding but you will, you will, you will, you will, like a pill you never experienced the thrill of being in my shoes, my mind, mine circulatory like a windmill, drilling gurgling oil out my lips, it drips onto the floor where you slip and bump your head, in a coma now, a coma, this is where I am, in the land of coma toast, pretending I am someone of importance, boasting of brilliance.

    You have a way with words. This is more like a vignette than a poem but it works well. I say this because I'm use to structure. Sally

    Very nice. It like the style it is differant from most others on the site. I get so used to reading the structured and formed poems, it took me a second read to really get into the flow of this and truly appreciate it. It reads like stream of consciousness brainstorming session that somehow magically all ties together beautifully!

    This is perhaps one of the finest poems I have read in some time. I am immediately snared by this work in the first four words and the author never lets go of us for the next 18 lines. We are treated to lines like, "cover my body with cotton candy," "green mist, velvet waves, I crash onto you like a suede sheet", "alike a prisoner poisoned pointing," There is so much in this work that you read and wish you'd had written. I would read this one many times over.

    im becoming a fan of your style...this is hypnotic, each sentence is a picture worth a thousand words

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.

    Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
