Ivory skin –
shelled endless sin.
Colored world,
but bleached within.
Wasted life.
Repulsive lips.
No worse kiss –
have I had than this.
Lord help the next hands,
that collide with his life.
And crumble within,
his relentless lies.
Smoke billows,
and clouds this ship.
Fire shoots from,
dirty fingertips.
You can copy and paste,
every word that escapes.
Repetitive and wrong,
in ultimate distaste.
Lord help that heart,
that collides with his hands.
His name a dirty word –
perfect for
a dirty man.
Title mad me think of scraping against braces back in the day. Not kidding. “Smoke billows, / and clouds this ship. / Fire shoots from, /
dirty fingertips.” Nice example of the short lined flow throughout.
Hahha, thanks Dustus. I see your vision and not a good one. No one likes the taste of metal.
fascinating…very lyrical and sad that this man is bend on destruction…vivid imagery too…i like…
Thank you Brian!
Yes, sad when one is bent on destruction of others–even sadder when bent on his OWN destruction. But if he’s full of lies, there is no help until he realizes that problem first…
DIRTY MAN–I’ve met a few…there are 98 clean for every 2 dirty. That is a very SCIENTIFIC fact from my research: I asked 100 men, “Are you dirty, or C L E A N ?” 98-2, that’s IT!–grin!!!
Seriously, when you think of it…how truly BLEST we are to know most nice, respectful, honorable Peeps
PEACE!
Hey, mine is

Thank God for the clean ones. 🙂 Thank you for sharing your post, I will check it out.
Words to a song here…having a wonderful son…I am thankful he is not know as a dirty man…..bkm
I am thankful too, we have enough of those in this world.
“Fire shoots from,
dirty fingertips.”
brilliant!
Thank you Dani! 🙂
The man is not known by his words but his kiss, scent and touch…
So true John… so true. 🙂
Wow…some deep thoughts here.
Bless!
Thank you for stopping by Emmanuel. 🙂
I take it then you didn’t car for the kiss. Great voice, in your face kind of telling it like it is. It works. I like.
Thank you Henry, I am glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
A vivid imagery! Sad but realistic.. I kind of agree with John!!
I feel offended if someone ever wanted to kiss me in a running car- this is far thinkable of!
Alas!!
Hugs xox
So true, thanks for stopping by Olivia! 🙂
Ha! Perfect. Right out of the gate,
“Ivory skin –

this grabbed me immediately.

I cant stand it when that happens!
If you have the time, can you tell me what it is you have to do with boats? I see so many references to the water in your writing. Really love it. Thanks again for all the good work.
Thank you! I love water and the emotions, scents and visions it brings. It is a relatable metaphor and a lovely reality.:)
