Society Poetry: 1918 Sanctuary by T. Hopper

1918 Sanctuary by T. Hopper

For as I lay in your embrace,

My breath be shallow..heart doth race

The trench ,the bugle ,the distant drum

Fight for country …defeat the Hun

So protected in your cocoon

Daybreak looming behind the moon

Sleep it cowers and it creeps…

Tears of mine ..i gently weep

Not tonight …well not for me …

Safe and sound for that I be

The dark …its cold …a killers friend

The night flame flickers ..Bows and bends

The shadows dance to a pipers tune

As we did …that day in June

The day I marched..with head held high

For king and country ..live or die

Young men together … comrades in fear

Maidens calling hip hip three cheers

The front …the gas ..ahead barbwire…

The stink ..the stench of gods hell fire

Bully beef …and rationed stew ..

.Last letters home from me to you

Dearest sweetheart …love of my life

Dearest mother …precious wife

Signing off with yours devoted …

All my love and sugar coated

Kisses sent ….a thousand score …

Each one delivered when at your door

Just let me live please god I pray …

To see my love ..just one more day

So here we lay …safe and sound …

Hearts entwined …emotions bound

And as the eve does turn to light …

My candle salutes…. its last goodnight.

Poetry #10 by Xzaviar Allen

Poetry performed by Julian Ford

Poetry #10 by Xzaviar Allen

Get to know the poet:

1) What is the theme of your poetry collection?

The theme of my poems was sexual intercourse. A vulgar/inappropriate subject maybe, but the inspiration behind the pieces drove me to write in such a way.

2) How would you like people to respond when they read or watch your poetry reading?

I’m not sure how people will react to these particular poems; people usually like them, but it depends on who’s reading.

3) How long have you been writing poetry?

I wrote my first poem in the fifth grade. Ive been hooked ever since.

4) Do you have a favorite poet?

My favorite poets are modern-age poets. J Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Jay Z, Kanye West, etc. Hip Hop is a form of poetry; I write my “poems” as though they were song lyrics.

5) What influenced you to submit to WILDsound and have your poetry performed by a professional actor?

I found out about WILDsound kind of randomly; I thought it couldn’t hurt to submit my work to somebody. Maybe they’ll like it!

6) Do you write other works? scripts? Short Stories? Etc..?

I wrote a short story in college for a class project; I wouldn’t mind writing a script though. I guess it depends on what mood I’m in and what inspiration I have at the moment.

7) What is your passion in life?

My true passions in life are poetry and music; even so, I am skilled in other areas. I currently serve my country as a soldier in the United States Army.

Best Night, Poetry by Roderick Dupree

Genre: Sex

 

Best Night by Roderick Dupree

It was smooth music and red wine

Two seductive companions with compatible signs

Such a young night as temptation feeds our urge

Mother nature sneaks inside while pillows hides the emerge

My stares and kisses gives me the keys to her chamber

Blood pumping and emotions arouse but none in anger

Cool temperature but it feels like a sauna

Two people in one room creating that magical aroma.

So so so deep i slide inside her heavenly gates

The sounds of the ocean water in which I help create

Boom boom boom is all the neighbors hear.

But ooo ooo ooo is coming from my dear.

Rocking to the beat and moving with the waves

A certain spot was hit that made me her “daddy.”

Different positions required the same goal

Penetrate good enough for her body to lose control

An artistic back filled with sensational infatuated love wounds

A masterpiece of love and fire created in a broken cold room

Lip biting, loud moans, shaky thighs, and crinkled toes.

A fulfilling tongue extracts her ocean flow deep into my soul

No need for choosing sides to avoid the wet spot

Drinking from the fountain of you was so refreshing to leave a drop

Repeatedly pound for pound in different rounds.

Whispers of love affected by sensational sounds.

We were on the bed, the floor, the couch, and in the kitchen

So hypnotize into each other there were no need for intermissions

No words from that night ever played as the days passed

Long drives home thinking of the best night I’ve ever had.

Love,… not the Rules  by Charles p.Banks

 

I kiss with two hands

coz I’m a Hungry man

Hunger for those liPps

manners polite fools do..

a feast famished delicate rules…it’s

You i treasure .. never enough

liPps juices glisten flavorful licks

don’t measure… just the more

of it …behold i consume U

 

I kiss with two hands

stands the appetite

crazed  the more…fuller

pull yoU in… closer…

mo fuller…tongue moves

smooves skins delights in

shallowin’ the soul sin.. bit

bites…creativin whole..

pleasures…in spaces…

beginin anew

“De novo “

 

I kiss with my 2 Hands

a bite of a primitive

rules be damned…

I see my prey…we
