Silent Peace(from chat)

Bloody hands to beat your face
Put you in your damn place
Cuffs upon your bleeding wrists
A lovely throat I'd love to slit

Beauty marred by vicious lies
Blinded by innocent cries
Spin your web this one last time
Death at midnight the clocks chime

Wrapped in plastic nice and neat
Scarlet rivulets at your feet
Oh the sweetness of release
Finally silence through the peace

Don't ask!

It works like this son

Sometimes a person just gets in a really bad, foul mood and is ready to just go out and kick some backsides or get theirs kicked. This way you can blow off the steam without anyone getting hurt. Respectfully, Dad: “Anyone who sacrifices liberty for security deserves neither.” Benjamin Franklin

Terse, and terrible, but great writing!

By terrible, I mean the subject matter, not the poem itself, my friend! As always, your pen is precise, your purpose decisive, and your truths incisive! Great, great poem!

Sorry Baz

Bad day yesterday. My son came down from Houston and we were going to change the oil in his car. He had the oil pan gasket replaced about 3000 miles ago so it was due. When we went to drain the oil we discovered the idiots had put locktite on the drain plug. No way to remove it. Things went downhill from there. By the time chat rolled around I was in a really foul mood. I'm much better now. Respectfully, Rett: “Anyone who sacrifices liberty for security deserves neither.” Benjamin Franklin

Silent Peace

Rett A man has to do what a man has to do but by the pen great but i am sure that in action would proberly be more satisfying. I only have walls so my pen is my sword. We all have days like some more than others - boy do i know. blue so blue

Marched to the plastic bag

Marched to the plastic bag with rhythmical intensity Rett. Uff I never enjoy watching murder films much, some are so well made that it is that aspect one enjoys, but uff, just uff. A good swing in the rhythm though. Love from Ann of Norway

Maggie, Ann, Lyz, thank you.

Sometimes you just have to blow the lid off in a poem rather than blow up in real life. A'm actually a peaceful person, thanks to writing. *LOL* Respectfully, Rett: “Anyone who sacrifices liberty for security deserves neither.” Benjamin Franklin
