Desire Love Romance

All lovely words
when understood

All so misconstrued
silence envelopes our delusions

Desire, we lust the attention
at the forfeit of philosophy

Love, we crave at Kings expense
	at times
		Sacrificing those whom love us true
			spilling blood at humanities alter

Romance, we desire for loves embrace
knowing serpents sell snake oil remedies

Beware the soft spoken 
cringe when you hear words only a token

Seeking the truth, not platitude
discover love, in those that.........

Breathe actions, not poetic verse

White Wolf Date: 6/19/2018 1:01:00 PM How did I miss this one, Art? So many great lines, where does one start? From the end? I can't believe someone would call this "wordy"? For aren't words the poet's tools? I can't stop looking at the ending! Beauty, matey /|\ Login to Reply

James Swartz Date: 6/3/2018 12:34:00 PM Words in the wrong hands can start a religion or a war. Words can bring peace and harmony. Knowing who to listen to and who to sacrifice is the hard part. If only we all could breathe actions into the poetic verse. Login to Reply

Daniel Turner Date: 5/29/2018 9:33:00 AM Congratulations Arthur on POTD honors. If a person has a "friend" who talks about others behind their back, you can bet that same "friend" is talking about you behind your back. A leopard never changes his spots. Login to Reply

Eve Roper Date: 5/28/2018 2:55:00 PM Words constantly spoken, but like a snake get to close and it will strike and say, "I didn't do it he did it".. Login to Reply

Carole Duet Date: 5/28/2018 1:59:00 PM A lot of truth here. I like the direct approach. Even the stubborn have their reasons and the shy their fears. I love "words" but not "wordy". My motto: KISS (keep it simple, stupid!) lol Login to Reply
