A Decent Proposal

It’s not my place to say,
but I’m gonna say it anyway ...
I’m in love with you
Now that you know the truth,
what are you gonna do?
But, before you decide anything,
dear Princess,
listen to this humble declaration of mine — 
My love for you has been growing over...

Premium Member a decent obsession
underneath 
his trenchcoat
he was 
in possession 
of a bent quill
he used it to tickle
words out of his 
avaries of birds
moon-eyed and 
sucker-punched
they adored the 
dripping honey 
he spooned
into their 
unworldly
wide-open bills
his avarice 
for swollen 
notoreity
observed 
by the dark
night-eyed
hunters
while he,
unsuspecting, 
stalked 
newly commissioned
clean and unmarked boxes...

Premium Member Twilight's Decent
In twilight's decent to madness
 the shadow of death dwells
after the clock rings out the last chime of twelve
destiny has taken everything quite well
no more sounds will be heard from small beds
fate has cast it's shadow upon the last one's head
the silence is loud enough...

The Drawer of a Decent Man
One sweater to help keep you warm and cozy at all times 
One diary to keep notes of all your dreams and longings
One handkerchief to dry your eyes whenever you cry 
A hand held recorder so he can remember all you say to him

A stapler to hold together things with all her power and strength
One remote control to a robot...

The Drawer of a Decent Soul
One bag of honesty to myself and others at all times
Tape to fix other peoples wounds and keep them together
One box of kleenex to wipe their tears completely away
Paper to write down what needs to be done to help others 
One pen to scribble down...

A Green Dog Loves Decent Purple Dandelions

I knew I had it with me
It gave me so many great ideas
Shaped them and formed them into poetry
Lately the words do not come to me
They mix together and become incomprehensible
I write, “A green dog loves decent purple dandelions”
That...

Premium Member Decent Descent
Bearing fatherly integrity’s good stature
My Dad, regarded with great pleasure
Ascended as clan’s patriarchal figure
Anchored upon tribal culture’s procedure.

Showing kindness and sharing his bounty
Not on his elevated platform, but from his heart’s generosity
He was sought-after for his counseling authority
As he offered gems of truth along functional...

Premium Member The Way Down / Decent From Matsuyama Castle/ 2008
Unable to imagine attempting the steep descent before me;
I furtively follow a turquoise topped Canadian cabinetmaker 
and her Aussie friend discuss a chair lift down?
With a grumble and groan 
I realize there must have been a chair lift up!

After one aborted boarding of the lift
Pay,...

Caesar Really Was a Decent Bloke
I once knew a bloke
Who hailed from Stoke
He saw me on the street
And so we did greet
But I said to him with much ire
"You're a liar
You call me your chummy
But you hate me mummy"
To the allegation he did respond:
"You are mistaken, of your mum I...

Decent Indecencies
Indecency, exposing self.
Ideologies clash.
Immorality takes the center stage.

Morality humbles herself.
Its a matter of the consciousness. 
The lovemaking of heart and soul.

Decisions are offspring's, 
of this unity, conceived
With purity of the mind.

She could not brag. 
She needed love,
Weak in her limbs. 
it's a matter of her...

Decent Persons
Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for...

The Recent Is the Decent
Steve likes to control people's lives.
He could hate men for their bad wives;
Who tries Steve's eyeballs to death drives,
His razor worse than twenty knives!
Thus, Steve's trusted friend Jeremy
Had to become his enemy
Jeremy to face his army 
For being recently The Barmy...

I love Steve's dead sincerity,
Not...
