Totalitarian antipathy
Between apartment walls
Shoulder blades stab into the spots
Fibromas stressing concrete beauty

My Michelle—smooth dresses, her blazers
And why not a scarf to make more sense?
Sweating her mind away all to pay
Four years endured, landing her here
An old dry briefcase, child her turtle
So scaly with all this working girl strife
To turn the lock and sneeze from the dust
On your blinds makes home
A droll little box

Bachelor pad, Bacardi’s benign
Trucker hat propped on an IKEA chair
Peers closing in to instigate
A shunning, lest he gives up his cash
Sleeping bag sobs, migraines succeeding
Replica—Michelangelo’s fight
For Elysium sprawled ‘cross the skyline wide
All in this face
He’s lost

Fortune cookie sweetheart love
Shriveled by corporate cyanide
Receiving less for striving more
Cheated, never repaid

Youngster much more ragged, tough
Puppy deprived from mother’s milk
The day’s too dark, really thick
Murderous, bitter black coffee

Sand and mud
Blanched forlorn
Like robins in their flee from a gun
Lepers of childhood trinkets eternal
Dead by smiling nightfall

Lonelyboy90: I can tell that your good in writing because the poems come natural to you. Ever think of being a poet or a journalist?

polyatomics: The rhythm is beautiful, and the words are perfect. Especially "Murderous, bitter black coffee", and the ending line. You'll have no problem getting someone to publish these.

Lord_Xing: Wow...that kind of got my mind to start thinking..Puts shame to my poem, especially the wide range of vocabulary. It took me a few to get the deeper meaning behind it, because I kept coming up with different views. At first I misread antipathy and thought I saw apathy (left out the nti haha), so it made me prepared for the feeling of non-caring, and the poem fit that kind of perspective too, as if everyone had just given up and no longer caring, "Fortune cookie sweetheart love Shriveled by corporate cyanide Receiving less for striving more Cheated, never repaid ". Even with the correct word I can't get that feeling away, but I can see what Miles was talking about, and perhaps it was more of what you were aiming for. Either way, good job on the poem, and next time I'll read the words that are there instead of omitting parts lol. (I blame it on the lack of sleep)
