Purple Wishes
By Ben Vest Gazing towards the cosmos, Fire erupts trailing tails, Shooting asteroid glows, Showering iridescent hails, Curving straight it goes, Crashing into the dales, As if I were to know, That all my wishes failed. Slingshot astronomy, I simply pulled it back, Letting go of the intimacy, Or suffer another heart attack, Paying with…

Perfect Mystery
Collaboratively Written By: Ben Vest, David Guy Ramirez, Lee Todd Lacks, Tracy Shults-Wright, CJ Foster & Jesse Batista It was the perfect mystery With clues hiding truths. It will go down in history… An act of pure intimacy. Unrelated DNA ancestry Leading to possible accessories. Noting this very expressively Running that mouth most excessively Leading…

The Homicidal Babysitter Association
By Ben Vest Leaving for the night, She’s in control, An evening of delight, Displaying her role, A time of fright, That’s her goal, Buddies too tight, She’s on a roll. Silly banter games, Pretending to be real, Her tantalizing shames, With the cards she deals, Placing on you all the blames, As she casually…

Doctor Pink
By Ben Vest It took a lot of persuasion, Dreading the ramifications, But with no other solutions, Under keen observation, A doctors name in lamination, With our many visitations, Until the day of my mutilation, Removing the sickness of corruption, The process of elimination, Undergoing a life alteration, Hoping for a successful operation, The color…

Treating Yourself
By Ben Vest That moment when you’re alone, Getting ready to unwind, Tossing away the phone, Serenity you will find. Doing what you do, Your personified meditation, Embracing something new, Ascending spiritualization. © All poetic works displayed on this website are copyright of the original author.
