    Coward Eyes (song version)

    Eliza wore a summer dress,
    an ocean smile, a negative stance.
    She was ever open throttle,
    betrothed to varied deadly sins.

    She approached, poised
    conquering by cosmetic attraction,
    chuckling at complexion’s spell,
    tempting by hinting for action.

    This Indian legged luxury
    exhaling second hand effect
    straddled over platonic intent
    hexing with contentment.

    And historians will preach
    that history teaches everything,
    launching bright sky rockets
    over hopeless endings.

    Call us, coward eyes,
    devour our catastrophe.

    Chin up, moonlit honey.
    No need for heartrending recession.
    Two double tequila tumblers
    will start eligible progression.

    Don’t cripple neural paths
    with percosetic cast.
    Using gears, circuits, and silicone;
    telescope enticing pheremones
    behind your ear
    on the glamour frontier.

    Stand tall, fetching stunner.
    Rock winter’s clarion corona
    and fan your fluid eyeful
    to comet’s vivid coma.

    I caught a hot pathogen,
    we exchanged infatuation.
    Her tongue was made of devils,
    her kisses caused brain mutation.

    She overfed on tantra / tantrums.
    She tuned into the s / m spectrum.
    Warfare was a midnight anthem
    birthing tranquil’s anti-serum.

    Devil doll’s vile affinity
    needs blanket drill for dormancy.

    On the eve of mind destruction,
    I ignored her leaking plasma.
    Survival leaned on my reaction
    to her heart’s departing magma.

    Devil doll’s vile affinity
    needs blanket drill for dormancy.

    ~*LOL*~
    okay, maybe it's just where my head is at and the fact you brought up alcohol in the second one but this reminds me of a colorfully, well written progression of characters in a bar that you focused your attention on during the course of an evening. Thanks hun.

    lol... your perception is almost scary.... that's about as accurate a take as I expect I'll get! The second one I actually kinda wrote for a friend, who broke up with her guy and was depressed. Half the lines were stolen from another poem.

    For you, here's another that was *exactly* that bar scene... me and my friend ran into these roller-derby girls at the bar one night (http://www.carolinarollergirls.com/ haha... what an awesome site!), and wrote this song about them. I still got their card in my wallet!

    Roller-girl love is fast and slow
    in passing lanes, knuckling down.
    She body blocks the sunset
    within her dark display,
    conspiring behind shades.

    Devolution girl,
    floating free from fleshy cave
    into sunlit empty space.
    Crouching contact diva,
    atomic elbow exploding,
    this brutal affair is lonely.

    Make way for the catwalk queen,
    derby doll for cold cash handshakes,
    it’s behind the eyes and in her dream.

    Under the big wheel sunlight
    she plays her wasted schemes
    and cast her lot with suicide,
    never the way she seems:
    all right

    he hunted for an airline,
    a terrific blue beginning flight
    to speed the hazy wanderer
    cos she’s not the way she seems:
    so all right

    her plastic tactic portico
    flashes in cinema style
    mutilating Polaroid portraits
    capturing perfect yesterdays

    she’s a million dreams,
    right?

    they’re barking trendy tonight
    pretty lips in primal curl
    candy covered delusion
    silver disco glitter girl

    they’re so lovely
    when you’re lonely

    marked by spy mascara
    whose optics tempt collision
    but club clone chimera’s
    only build angry tension

    they’re so lovely
    when you’re lonely

    I’ll take your jelly bracelet
    on the dark side of art class.
    We'll go to the dark room
    once I steal the hall pass.

    Tell me you like try outs,
    tell me you like hard/fast,
    and I’ll paint, “I heart Julia”
    on the US1 overpass.

    Let me have your lunch box,
    I know you got a cherry pie.
    I love it’s cherry filling;
    so tasty fresh, inside.

    Once we’re done heavy breathing,
    once the sloppy tang has spilt,
    we’ll head to the cafeteria
    and split a choco milk.

    Shes a Million Dreams...
    I keep reading it, and keep looking at it differently .... I like it but can't get a good grasp on it.

    Your poems fall into the category of pieces that I really really would like if I could make sense of them. Failing to make sense of them, I think I like them anyway, though they make me feel a little dumb.

    i truly loved this poem and i was greeted by vivd images throughout....i love the words used.. 'ocean smile' and 'chuckling at complexion's spell' i think that probably what i interpreted is different to what you intended ...maybe not ...but i think a lot of poetry is intented to be malleable in the way it's percieved :) i look forward ro reading more x x

    From the outside, the girl seems perfectly alright… she carries herself well, seems to be into interesting things… but she’s really depressed and suicidal. Her new boyfriend finely figures this out, so he jets because everything’s a façade with her, all those perfect memories are ruined because he realizes that it meant nothing to her anyway. She’s a million dreams.



    I don't mind explaining, if there's a particular one... some are really simple, some are quite complicated :)

    Loved these lines best~! Those cheerleaders are cute in their punkish flavors.

    I vote you as my choice to go hang out and drink with one night. Too much fun watching the world thru your eyes, lol, I'd be giggling all night, having fun watching the strange and sometimes exotic creatures floating across our paths. Amazing how much fun can be had just by striking up a conversation.

    I'd rather not have it explained, really. To unravel a poem into meanings is too much like vivisection. You can never enjoy the beauty of a rabbit by slicing it open and examining its innards.

    This is a neat collection Fulmah. So vibrant and playful, but each has it's darker moments. Atmospheric tapestry. Love em all but I think "Sloppy Tang" is today's winner. If I come back again, maybe I'll have another set of criteria made of mood.

    thanks skinny! Sloppy Tang's by far and away the most playful of the bunch, as the music demands the juvenile attitude. I'm eager to finish that one up. :)

    Attack of mall chick hair doo’s
    Bad blood at double wide
    She only needs direction

    Full moon madness in the playpen
    Princess of forty ounce
    Her eyes like black tornadoes

    Trapped in prefab pagoda
    In tin-foil camouflage
    Broadcasting through the ceiling

    What if I should come, crouched,
    predicting probable evasive lines?
    Predator prowl gains a welcoming smile;
    now you’re mine.

    We’ll confess
    fervent, wanting fantasies.
    We’ll caress
    the limits of boundaries.

    Just join me, now, in testament
    to pleasure’s hungry coalition,
    to affection’s vibrant dynamo,
    to partnership’s holy friction.

    Now you’re mine,
    at passion’s redlined canopy.
    Staring down at me,
    caught by heavenly gravity.
