Premium Member Conflicting Thoughts
she is scarred so deeply inside
yet she chooses to remain beautiful
gloom of darkness engulfs her
yet she dons a mask of brightness
stab of humiliation slices her 
yet she attempts to bandage her wounds

in her solitary moments
she keeps wondering
if her life is worth living
and the war she...

Premium Member My Conflicting Emotions
I want to tell you how I feel deep down, 
Deep inside my mind,
I want to show you my emotional light, 
But I’m afraid of what I’ll find,
Because, when I sat, with a pen and paper, 
And waited for my muse,
I waited for hours, in...

Conflicting Emotions
Conflicting emotions, twirl inside of me, emotions or anger, rage pain and 
insanity
Crying out for release, wondering when it will cease, this raging beast of 
conflicting emotions, no love potions, up and down on an emotional roller coaster
Feelings of helplessness and despair, am not aware...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



Conflicting Behaviors
A lapse of judgment, a tempest of rage;
A crazy obsession, to not be assuaged.
Aggression triggered by an avoidance of life;
Anger transmitted by internal strife.

A malignant cancer, that blankets the soul;
Aimless, directionless, irrational goals.
Misunderstandings, needs to be addressed,
Lives of conflict and bitter unrest.

Insecure souls in need...

Premium Member Conflicting CoOperative Interests
Two Taurus husbands
intending to nurture shared truths 
of Win/Win 
organic mind/bodies
engaging Earth's interdependent communion

To discover our conflicting 
and often unshared 
half-baked thoughts
intentions
anticipations 
in articulate and marvelously punctuated language,
rhythm, 
lexicon of meta-confluent function 
and integrally warm
co-gravitating flow
like butta' 

To uncover, 
recover,
rediscover 
our therapeutic seeds 
and traumatic...

Conflicting Views
I look at the old testament 
and the laws were harsh 
an eye for and eye
and a tooth for a tooth

Yet what were they trying 
to achieve
peace, punishment and revenge
in an effort to stop the crime

The old testament
was about laws 
to keep the peace
the new...

This Love, Conflicting Pain
This has been an absolute journey and I have traveled it with and without you. There are days I have opened my eyes only to be blinded by sun light. As I walk through a darkened coveted desire I'm trying to hold on to you....

Recurring thought kept urging her to do what she would never do
It had been too long
She could not control the outcome
Her inner self was screaming at her now
She shut it down with alcohol
Just to make sure, she took some sleeping pills too 

Weirdly, this kept...

I say I love you
I say I hate you
I really don't know what to do...

One day right 
One day wrong
I'm tired of stupid love songs

One time your in

Why can't you just figure it out?

One day were broken

A Conflicting Ameri-Nation
The hope is high, 
The mind of our nation is in sight, 

Words of few ignite, 
Our vision is dimm with fright, 

My people, My blood, My friends, and the ones I love know not to to hear, 

What we know is what to fear,...

Conflicting Ideologies
Death is a bleary phantom that's always hunting us,
and inescapable as it is we manage to shun it with lies;
too sinister is its appearance when it approaches us,
but isn't our wish to live forever even amid tragedies?

Even trees can withstand many wild storms declaring their...

The Human Antonym
The human antonym 

Buddhist, but maleficent 
Losing,but triumphant
Home, but astray
Articulate, but nothing to say

Achieving,but no ambition 
Trusting, but full of suspicion 
Cold hearted, but devoted 
Political, but never voted 

Lazy, but overworked
Level headed, but berserk
Lacks talent, but a numen 
All of the above- a human...
