    Phil commented on the post, simple 5 months, 1 week ago

    simple
    says to say what is.

    I am
    the sample of simplicity.

    This city is filled with
    wits and wills ill.

    I will complete
    the cup and reach its brim
    in brine.

    Simplicity acts like an aged wine;
    appreciated and inebriated

    Phil commented on the post, higher 5 months, 2 weeks ago

    i am there
    arriving
    reaching for only air
    for oxygen alone
    can plot me in higher planes insane

    this holy trinity
    of the high
    of gems
    and geometry
    has got me by on days and nights
    where rocketed flights
    have blasted my mind
    light years
    away from fearing life

    Phil commented on the post, help 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    the Help wanted a raise
    she wanted to be raised up
    from her current slump
    so that her sons
    could witness the moon eclipsed

    raised on silver spoons and
    significant science education

    a scared
    pair dissipates
    like energy
    into heated arguments

    an augmented ego
    seeks out a bird
    sneaking teeny pieces
    of woodchip
    with every visit
    to the home nest

    before before
    existed
    an exit
    after the entrance allowed everyone
    their understanding

    I have stood before understanding
    the need to walk
    or talk into a life unbiased

    His lack of sight was just that.
    When outside
    his lack of insight
    provided thick plaques
    of plight to his doorstep.

    Never knew with his eyes
    what his mind would go through.

    A sense made […]

    she inhaled
    a nailed down piece of plague
    like everyday had a new stake in tobacco fields

    a yielding moment occurred every time
    her throat burned

    the dysfunctional bastards
    of modern america
    will grow their pots
    lack of potential in polluted sunshine.

    Hind legs will maladapt,
    a trapped mental medium
    will magnify within the next
    millenium of […]

    Phil commented on the post, binding 8 months, 1 week ago

    the spine of this journal
    titled “strife”
    traps in me
    a leaf folded.

    the fruits of my labor
    become rooted
    and compressed by the stress of its own making

    Half mast-
    ery blast
    from a canon
    placed in the casket

    took aback
    back-tracked
    from when treasure took

    a parrot hooks
    a line
    explosive

    Phil commented on the post, bandages 10 months, 1 week ago

    he patches war wounds
    with band-aids
    as if his prior
    bands of woodmen
    would come to preserve him

    a bandage scavenged
    to cover a dusty life of love
    a rusted trust
    once a metal frame encasing hope

    i have been awarded
    ward time with wardens
    drawn from bow strings

    those hard calciumed
    heart strings hardly
    got to be played for us
    in this punishing prison

    this catcher receives
    a new force

    off-course and discoursed alignments
    have tried to force
    this catcher to move

    removed from distraction
    all abstraction
    collapse
    and subtract
    to this moment

    a monument in time

    a set sail
    decides a path swerving
    in right directions

    abrupt
    adrift in a sea of coiling serpents
    seize this moment
    to manufacture yourself
    a man

    in the swing of it
    a set of things
    have gone awry;

    “full swing”
    if you will

    a tip of the hat signaled
    a tip of the tounge
    only to prick
    the tip of an iceburg
    of chilled ills
    and deft lungs

    Phil commented on the post, weave 1 year, 2 months ago

    she encircled throughout each
    weave
    every follicle of fake hair
    enflamed and enraged
    like a battle engaged
    like an engaged couple
    dueling duets of deadly wit and debt

    she uprooted
    to leave
    unlike the […]

    Phil commented on the post, walls 1 year, 3 months ago

    four realms
    surround and bounce
    ideas like balls
    bowling for something
    to strike a spark

    a match
    missed its mark
    and echoes wet realities
    unintended with lukewarm dullness

    at odd times
    we find out
    locked-out self-esteem

    even as we rhyme
    with great rhythm and reason
    we commit treason
    to the self,
    the building pressure of steam

    hivemind
    high five a lime light
    life gave you lemons
    take each sour puck
    of fucked up opportunity

    ensemble a mutiny

    a barrier’s queen and conquerer

    i have built pick-it fences
    to surround and defend
    an ego
    helpless

    heedless
    heartless
    without a head,
    no defense can
    be left unenduring;
    could not advance
    or focus forward
