Fall from lace...

doomsday parade possession's 

quicksand all enveloping

trembling in the acid rain

sold your rocks for roll & soul

devil may care attitude's name

decree's snare written on rubber lace

contract'd pretty one trick pony

flashing neon beneath dignity

treasure just the other side of pain

alibi's underground disgrace

captivated in the snake's charm

unicorn approaches from the rear

ashen high heels all go down

simply falling    there is no love

Whoa! the dark underground of whoredom ... from Will and Grace (Grace: "Some might call me .........................kinkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkky.")
the whole thing is perfect, says i ...every word and nuance ...but those last two lines are a knock out.
i watch quite a bit of undercover journalism and news coverage ...several of which take us through the porn streets .... shocking enough but so much more we will never see (being on the outside) i am sure is much worse... you do such a good job with matching pics and song to your work ..always a pleasure to read ... now ..how much do i owe you :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

[Coyote Poetry]

Another interesting poem. When we dance with the devil. We will know the feel of the fire. Good music and outstanding poetry. I like the many strong lines in this poem. I had to read twice for the wild ride in the poem.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Coyote, I love Jill Tracy's music, she's a bit off the wall, glad you enjoyed.

[BlackRose]

Darkness falls upon... Great great piece. Dismantled well, ha.

[Frieda P]

Thanks BlackRose, jazz'd you enjoy'd this one. ;-)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Okay cranky pants it is lol.A very nice poem Freida :)

[Frieda P]

Ha, I had my dark horse pants on for this one ;-) Grazie mille Vidya....

[Vidya Bacchus]

You are welcome :)

[Jack...]

If I didn't know any better I'd think you crawled into my head and swam around in the spaghetti for a little while. Seems a bit angry to me but then again that seems to be something in the air lately. Still, anger or not, you pen with such depth, so much determination flows from your words. You my sweetest of friends, pick a subject and breathe unending life into it. Just sad you had to sneak a little rock and roll and soul into your steam today...that genre of music doesn't deserve it. :)

Still nothing is better to start my day than by reading your poetry. Each morning to me is like Christmas when I have wonderful gifts like this waiting for me on the screen. Amazing Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Oh was that your head, I thought it was the linguine in my head....sheesh...ha very funny, I think the genre took it well, they invited me back for midnight margaritas ;-)

[s y e]

Guy and doll, why are you dissing the Noodle? ;-P

[♔ CrownedDevil &#..]

Wow so beautiful Frieda!

Kaze~ ;-)

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Kaze! :-)

[♔ CrownedDevil ☾]

Your welcome my friend. :-)

[Frieda P]

Whatever you do, don't sell your soul to the devil, you worry me with that darkly colored avatar now haha ;-)

[♔ CrownedDevil ☾]

Hahahahaha I won't Frieda. ;-)

[Scott Metro]

A bit of darkness tonight I see...
Hither goes yonder..one or the other...one woman's demon is another woman's muse..
Fight the bad spirits while you can...
My demons left me for a younger man...LOL
Nice write my dear.
Scott

[Frieda P]

LOL! been there, she was younger and blonde, b***h! hahaha

[Scott Metro]

Oh..one of those..ah yes..they are there...why is everything so darn hard..?

[Frieda P]

So we'll appreciate the good apparently, or at least that's what 'they' say, and all that BS...blahblahblah

[Scott Metro]

Jaded much ????

[Frieda P]

Hey, you asked............

[Scott Metro]

Teasing you....good night sugar..!

[kublakhan27]

I sure wish I had your poetic stamina Mrs.R...it is beyond me how you continue to churn out such treasures practically on a daily basis...you told me not to jinx you before but that was a while ago and nothing has changed yet. As for the poem itself, it is rather cynical, which means I love it to death ;P I don't know if it's conscious or not, but it's another example of you branching out thematically. Of course, you just nail whatever mood you're conveying ;) xo

[Frieda P]

I keep telling you it's a helluva lot cheaper than therapy Benji. Are you trying to jinx me again, I'll release Mrs R on yer arse. ;-) Thanks muchly, you always make my day/night when you leave your glowing reviews xo

[redflutterby]

Ha...don't jinx her Steve!! She will lay the evil eye on you. It's an Italian thing..lol!!

[kublakhan27]

Haha Yes I'm familiar with Mrs.R and her evil eye...if it weren't for that, I probably wouldn't like anything I write...I am not permitted to be cynical ;)

[redflutterby]

LOL...no youre not!!! Or you'll get two evil eyes!! ;-)x

[kublakhan27]

LOL I can feel heat emanating from those death stares ;) x

[redflutterby]

Ha....I reserve that stare for those that deserve it!!! Got a few on my list right now....;-)

[ron]

Oh and what stare is that Red? This poem inspired "The contract" I posted.

[Frieda P]

Surrender Benji, you're surrounded my love! ;-)

[kublakhan27]

What's that Sarah Mclachlan song? Sweet surrender? ;) x

[ron]

Benji? How does that even make sense? Ok you cloven hoofed girl...lol

[redflutterby]

The death stare Ron....you want me to add you too that list. Its growing by the minute!! Except for Steve here.. Hahahaha....;-PP

[redflutterby]

LOL....Benji is Steves nickname Ron...

[Frieda P]

C'mon the Graduate ron....

[ron]

You can add me if you wish sweet Red. If I disserve it then flog me with the sins I have committed, but remember pain in the pouring rain is only as sweet as the one using the whip.

[redflutterby]

Ron left because I threatened to add him to the list!! Ha...

[kublakhan27]

Except for me...does that mean I'm off the hook girls? ;)

[redflutterby]

Oh good lord....Hahahaha

[redflutterby]

The good lord thing was for Ron...
And yes Steve...youre off the list!! xo

[kublakhan27]

So, does that mean I am? ;P

[kublakhan27]

*happy dance* ;P

[Lyn Anderson]

Of course, this fits well with my mood, and as always it is a well crafted write with great style

[Frieda P]

You planning on selling your soul to the devil any time soon, does that mean all your poetry will be dark from now on? hahah

[Lyn Anderson]

Umm, what, all my angst and crank isn't dark enough for you?

[Frieda P]

I think you could sink deeper, perhaps a little more sarcasm haha

[Lyn Anderson]

Okie dokie, I will give it a go, but tomorrow, right now I need me some sleep.:)

[ron]

First of all I would love to see what rubber lace looks and feels like. Yes love can seem to be a contract from the devil. Taken in the underground, taken down, could be but probably not. Wrap all that life sees in a blood stained contract.

very cool poem and song.

[Frieda P]

Haha, me too ron...I think they sell the stuff it in Hades, thanks hon. ;-)

[ron]

Oh I hate that souvenir shop lol.

[Frieda P]

Hahah you been?

[ron]

Yes I have...lol
