Live Or Die, You Couldn't Do Both

Upon that dark ground, life was bloody and blue
all dark mists brought more than was due.
Dusty storms, blew about with black hands of Fate
lost as hurt seemed to escalate.

Within hidden shrouds, nights ate sad, dying souls
you cried within odd rhythmic rolls.
Never again, never again, your sworn oath
live or die,...

Premium Member Both Sides For Me
The look of pity on the saleswoman's face said it all
my paint spattered clothing, however the jeans fit
just didn't have that panache, chic pizazz, tongue hanging
inspiration for desire a young woman out to have.

The car dealer took one look at me, led me to the far
corner of the lot, showed me the used hot rods
the...

Premium Member Both Ache and Joy
There is something about the cuddle of mist
that washes the pain of love's farewell 
like a damp of healing elixir, 
so softly touching my navel
   to ignite back the glaze                     
within my marrow;...

Premium Member Lending Both Hands
Let me 
lend a hand
I can’t sit
when you 
have to stand
When you 
can’t do it all
together we can

It’s not 
a woman thing
It’s more than
just gender roles
boy girl lady or man
I can change diapers
and wash that pan
I’m a participant 
not a fan

Bit by bit
we can get to it
It will go faster
if I don’t sit
Put this here...

Premium Member Both of Us Got Away
,,,,,,,,,,~.~.~.~,,,,,,,,,,,


if ever i had two hours with you… or three,
the vacancy of this quaint café and barren
shores would be refilled with the pouring
of pink- frosted air on our  glass-window’s past;
the multitude of disheveled suns ripping
arms of surrender; raged midnights ending
into carmine mornings; swallowed  inches of stars
turning into lyrics replayed. and what splendor to
infect...

They In Love, Both Sought To Teach


 They in love both sought to teach
 hearts melded together each to each
 Spritely wind in each blowing sail
 both wished same, coin in the well

 Standing determined hand in hand
 weathering every storm in this land
 She feeling deeply his every fall
 he racing to her every...

Spring's Rebirth, Heals Both Heart And Waiting Lands

Upon dawn's golden rays, soft breeze floats its songs
Songs of new beginnings beneath rainbow wings;
Winging through forest lush and its hidden throngs
Are rare and beautiful gems only Nature brings.

Should my soul, feast upon such wondrous art
Firmly embrace the dreams that are thus born;
Savor this food, and more Nature...

When Thy Heart And Soul Have Both Been Fleeced

When thy heart and soul have both been fleeced
world shattered, thy hidden demons released,
canyons of whirling circles in night dreams
dark rules, no saving light left that redeems.
Life raped, your sanctuary invaded,
joy for epic pains were thus dark-traded
truth is, Hope has yet to be defeated,
shall not be, if...

Once Lived Life As Both Fox And Chasing Hound

Once lived life as both fox and chasing hound
each one thinking, they were true, honor bound.
As the fox, took great pride in being shrewd
failed often to see my actions were crude.

When fleeing forth in life at lightning pace
taking too much as I ran, a disgrace.
Never worried about...

Premium Member I'Ll Remember For Us Both
I remember the way you made feel,
My darling our love was so very real.
You brought me comfort when I
needed comfort,
Baby it was me and you against the
world ,you were my constant support.
As time went by you started to slip
away,
When we got the news I cried and cried
on that life altering day.
I love you today as...

But Honey, Such Sweet Lies That We Both Told

It was a meandering dirty road,
Ah but honey- such sweet lies that were told
About the gold castle upon the hill
And how love always gives sensual thrills
Nary a word about hideous beast
Hiding, awaiting its promised feast
But such you knew, covered with a smile
Hiding so well, your venom and...

MY ADDED VERSUS:
Bows on solemn flower blooms
and scented layers of flared perfume
flow down rows of headstones and tombs.
I've looked at death that way.
			
But now I tend to ask God why
people visit and freshly cry.
We all know when loved ones die
they rise on His stairway.
				
I've looked at death from both sides now
from heart to soul and...

Love Weighs Souls, Says Both Hearts And God Above

They say that the human soul has no weight
They that have not felt heavy hand of fate
Shouting man is born but a fleshly shell
And there is no heaven, there is no Hell
The soul once broken sets a heavy load
As many a crushed heart has showed
We are more...

I Am Both the Lord and Devil
I am he ..your lord above
I gift you life...and give you love. 
And just as easy I can take away
In deaths arriving your lifestyle decay.

But I am he....the God of sin
And I can steal your deepest thoughts within.
For instance am he the devil too
But also God of heavensilence skies so blue

So my warning to you...
