As the Dark Defeats Us
In this haunted room I feel a presence build.
So thick is the air, closing in as you capture space.
The empty chair that was, now your body filled.
Sudden cold spot blasting icy gusts upon my face.

Heart thrumming uselessly in my frail breast.
Pounding in my ears, drowning...

Premium Member Trump Defeats Terrorism
Yes the war on terror is over
It happened on the Canadian border!
Youssef, 5, was denied
For shopping for toys and terror thus implied

Now Youssef, 5 finished his chemo
The border patrol said oh no, oh no, no no no
No Arabs must be allowed to shop for toys
Not...

Light Defeats Dark

     peace will not exist
in this world, as we know it
    'til God takes control

    sheer ignorance can
prove to be the deepest root
     of a warring mind

When My Head Defeats My Heart
My lungs like a failing engine
Hug my ribs tingling the need to breathe
Your arms with mine I imagine
Like a train on its trail my body cant stop trembling

Thoughts of you leer back
Forcing reality to puzzle my reasoning
Eloquent silence injects life to my heart
Feeding the obese...

Much As Love And Hope Defeats Blackest Blight

I shall walk from the dark into new light
Much as love and hope defeats blackest blight
So too, may faith in recovery ask
Does not the hero, in great courage bask
To stride a victor over battles fought
A winner, hero, to...

Lance Defeats the Matriarchy, Part I
The endless fight seemed to come to an end,
the toxic nature beaten out of men
by lessons taught, and pressure from above,
the masculine had surrendered to love.

The action movie, no more to be seen,
the bars and classrooms, ordered and serene,
people declared that it was a new...

Lance Defeats the Matriarchy, Part Iii
...The outcome of this didn't come overnight,
but soon folks noticed an increase in fights,
a spate of new inventions, new and improved,
flush of music and literature new.

A jump in the birth rate as alpha males
resumed their eternal chase for fresh tail,
and women hungering for just such...

Temporary defeats,
Do not make failures of men;
But rather,
Man's inability to deal with those setbacks....

Lance Defeats the Matriarchy, Part Ii
...It took several weeks, but he quickly found
a strange chemical to the water bound,
clearly synthetic, so he went online,
was astonished by what he didn’t find.

There was no mention of such chemistry,
no reports or formulas did he see,
expect for theories from people called mad,
the prickly people,...

Way To Make Defeats Go Away
If you want to extract the best out of life,
Do the level best that you can with hope,
Exhaust all the possibilities by toiling,
Trust that the law of Justice will prevail

Gather each and every fact to analyze,
Never leave anything to mere chance,
Try to utilize every opportunity...

Light defeats the musk
The sun is the most powerful thing.
It gives us light and life,
Nothing can change that.
But the man sat on the moon,
is carving it to change the night’s light.

Will the plants still grow?
Will water still rain?
Unknown changes in an unknown terrain. 
We are sat on the...

I Want To Be Loved
Love defeats I’m not brave
I can’t wait anymore
And I wish to be slave
And I gift you my core.
In my longing, I’m blind
And I’m losing control
I will ask you to find
My desirable soul.
In your vanity wave  
Will you hear my last cry?
And I stand near...
