mrepoet's blog: "My Poetry"

Spaghetti noodles shrug off the sauces
standing proudly they declare their freedom
independent noodles speak out loudly
down with Italy, slurp us up for free

From the edge of the plate comes rude snarling
the war machine cleans up its ruddy mess
From overhead comes the iron death spikes
twirling and cutting, noodle parts scatter

There will be many casualties to come
bloody as saltines marching through red square
the pacifist spaghetti had no chance
near a pack of mechanical crackers

Let logic permeate your mind
penetrate your psyche -
 fortitude arms your skin
 builds walls round your heart.
When ignorance hijacks your nerves
runs rampant to your tongue -
 speak not and keep self respect
 maintain your status quo.

we whet our wonderment in the moment
stir realization in ether fantasies
where skin is satiny smooth
touching you is always electric
regret is neither limp nor hard
eyes know only what we think we see
our nerves explode at a glance
for the chance to but hold you close
we pause - tiptoe 'cross the heavens
supplanting starlight 'neath our feet
rolling past the infinite expanse
possibilities abound lay uncharted
til we part before we meet

You are the rain on my parade.
You are the pin in my balloon.

To think I always trusted you,
  you never gave me reason to.
Today's the day I say goodbye.
Today's the drug you'll never try.

You never seek after I hide.
Now we play suicide.

You were the knife stuck in my back.
You were the knot tied in the noose.

Always the match to light my fuse,
never the one I'd hate to lose.
Today's the day I start to live.
Today's the day you won't forgive.

You never seek after I hide.
Now we play suicide.

lambent serpents all intertwined
forbidden love beneath the moon
a chance taboo does slip one's mind
once bitten are relieved too soon

ardent blood stains their sultry skin
in peace freed like a firing pin
dying blissfully there aglow
together alone free to go
