LONELY ANTHEM

I really enjoyed writing with this new duet partner.  Once we were both free it was written quickly.  Check out his site, Incessant Ramblings, because there is a lot of good poetry along with his inspirations for writing them. WRITTEN BY NCBEK AND HASTYWORDS Vibrations in the atmosphere Caused us all to stand alone Freed…

AS WE OWN THE NIGHT

WRITTEN BY TRYST AND HASTYWORDS I can call you a mirror When I look into your eyes My spirits guide and savior Wipe the tears from my eyes   Beautiful you… You always were As our friendship exploded Standing beside her   I can call you my earthly sister As our hearts met and entwined…

EBONY CARPETS

WRITTEN BY TWINDADDY AND HASTYWORDS In the distance there are angry storms Approaching slow and steady, raging They are rolling out plush ebony carpets Upon a bright and sunny sky, infecting   Negative forces and energies build, waiting Dark promises of a looming deluge, raining Irritabilities doing their best to block light The sun’s piercing…

RUNAWAY FLIGHT

I decided to feature a new poetic duet partner each Friday (I hope).  I truly hope those of you who have never done this before will email and attempt to do one with me.  Whether you write poetry or not, whether you like poetry or not, I think you will be surprised with how fun…

THE DEVIL’S MAIDEN NAME

  Written by Eric Keys and HastyWords   Blood shot eyes stared back from the darkness Unholy nights visiting with no holding out allowed Time slides languid, no taking back choices made In love with you I fell into hell before having died And I learned regret was the devil’s common maiden name   You…

WRITTEN BY PRIMALNIGHTS AND HASTYWORDS   ♥ The night was darker than most As she swept the porch, again alone She felt the heat of the night, heavy Remembering passions of the past Memories she tried to sweep away But the pull to them were much too great She wore a light cotton dress, nothing…

HER STARE

  Written by PMAO and HastyWords ♥ Her stare unnerved me I’d seen her here before I wasn’t sure what she saw But her eyes were seeing me   Her stare intrigued me It roamed my body like a caress I felt it move up and down Like cool fingertips   Her stare warmed me…
