Cinquain Train

Beyondian · Jan 9, 2007

Too short
Toes in agony
Teetering on the brink
Of falling as I reach for things
Up high

kborsden · Jan 10, 2007

up high
or down below
some things just pass me by
where the hell should I be looking
right now?

Godfather · Jan 10, 2007

right now?
edge of a storm
sitting, waiting, smiling
fingers flickering, eyes flicking
and bang

ddgryphon · Jan 10, 2007

And bang
all that you've known
falls shattered at your feet
slowly settling into silent
stillness

moblues · Jan 10, 2007

stillness
can you hear it?
nothing within nothing
perfection is your protection
pure heart

moblues · Jan 10, 2007

pure heart
where do I start?
the business is failing
wire money through Western Union
stay home

Jabs · Jan 10, 2007

Stay home?
Of course darling
What do you have in mind?
She wants us to be one, naked
Sexy!

kborsden · Jan 11, 2007

sexy
unstrained woman
with harsh and steely tongue
speaks words in silver emotion
engaged

Ganesha · Jan 12, 2007

engaged
my limbs tangled
red lips, fast hips, tongue licks
my up is your down, all around
we sing

kborsden · Jan 12, 2007

we sing;
songs of the dead,
songs of unsung heroes,
songs of immortal ties that bind,
our songs

Ganesha · Jan 12, 2007

our songs
you whistle me
pursed lips form perfectly
around-my tuneless exhale, still
waiting

kborsden · Jan 13, 2007

waiting
for your return,
for the re-embracing
of our unmerited love, lust,
passion

Ganesha · Jan 13, 2007

passion
slow boil or
red hot and ripening
I simmer on the back burner
pungent

kborsden · Jan 13, 2007

pungent
living odour
of bygone tears and faith
to fill my nostrils with contempt
for us

Ganesha · Jan 13, 2007

for us
hold the vessel
a living covenant
of our legacy-the future
beholds

kborsden · Jan 13, 2007

beholds,
my watching eye
a reflected beauty,
ghost-like image on my glasses,
just her

Ganesha · Jan 13, 2007

just her
image shimmers
across my retinas-hunger
peaks in my soul, I need you back
I rest

kborsden · Jan 13, 2007

I rest
my solemn case
of losing you always
the dearest treasured possesion
of mine

Ganesha · Jan 13, 2007

of mine
how hast life taught
me- to open my hands;
set free, that which belongs to me
lovely

kborsden · Jan 13, 2007

lovely
and predacious
shall never miss a beat
until the final bell does toll
for me

Ganesha · Jan 13, 2007

for me
sea embraced you
siren's call- high pitched song
I waded the water, searching
risked all

kborsden · Jan 13, 2007

risked all
just to see you
in windowed vision's true,
real and only veracity
of love

moblues · Jan 13, 2007

of love
little is left
bloody feet to lead me
a broken heart to lead me to
my home

Ganesha · Jan 13, 2007

my home
haunted perfume
your lingering traces
spaces full on absence of you
my love

moblues · Jan 14, 2007

my love
yes, you my love
you told me that the rain
comes when I need to remember
your pain
