Premium Member Two-Edged Swords
I write of two-edged swords (that tired clichè)
as though this modern boy knew hilt from blade;
as if I had been taught of true swordplay,
not learned from movies Errol Flynn had made.
But plainly put, things work more than one way:
the lake that offers joy can also...

Dark-Edged Forest
Tall,shady,green trees,
Sweet,fresh cold breeze,
Here I am,standing in the middle of the forest,
Feeling alone and abandoned by the rest.

I walk,walk and walk,until I feel tired,
I seek,seek and seek but seems I'm a blind,
Nothing,nothing is all I can see,
Except that tall,tall tree.

So I sit under its shady...

She is wearing a smile on her sexy  lingerie,

Shining like a stars as she step down the stairs.

Humming a soft tone of a lyrics she made.

And thunder came in and break the silence.

She starts chillin' and turn a place to hide in.

But her catastrophe...

Double Edged Sword
the tongue is a double edged sword
nothing hurts more than the spoken word
harsh words can cut clear to the bone
sometimes it's better just to be alone

I'd rather be beaten with sticks or with stones
battered and bruised with broken bones
than to have my heart ripped out,...

Double Edged Sword
I cant take it anymore,
This isn't what I've planed for!
I was confident, saturated with ambition,
I became lost, with no destination.

I had it all, It got took all away;
Joy,love and transparency, became nothing but sadness, hatred and ambiguity.
I loved the way it was, but it was...

The Beauty of Poetry: Love's, Two-Edged Sword
Strewn about her axis world....
Where they've all grown up orphans
That have never known their names; they
Don't belong to no one; now isn't that a shame
Lost amid this sea of reality; animation, don't go Shane ?
Precious baby girl raggedy Ann wearing her three sizes too small
Soiled...

Your Coercive Blade of Censorship, My Razor Edged Pencil Tip
Silenced voices, feared by those in power.
Utopia sought, only dystopia flowers.
Protect all speech, diverse and free.
Perception leads to a society that is truly.
Redeemed expression, a beacon bright.
Escorting us through the darkest nights.
Silenced speech, we've lost our way.
Shaping the fascists we sought to slay....

Love Is a Double Edged Sword
In your car, the heat enveloped me like a cloak that afforded no protection
And you told me,
Instead of asking
Why I haven't called in six years.

And I'll hold my tongue.
Because these french fries are delicious
And your best friend is three hours from the altar
And I'll be...

Double Edged Tongue
Buddy, Pal
The pimiento to my sal
Let this grievance parlay
To the earthen mounds stay
Better it be, thinkest me
To be alive and free
And now we come to it
Must my sword sharpen thy wit?
Friend, fellow
let this fine wine mellow
To the river Styx bid hello
Better it be, thinkest me
To...

Atomic Brinkmanship Double Edged Sword of Damocles
Grisly bared horror jawbones Kristallnacht
totalitarian brandishes, flaunts, launches 
global threat half cocked.

Vladimir Putin itching
to loose nuclear bomb
end of the world scenario ofttimes
iterated throughout history
though an atheist (actually Unitarian),
no doubt this, that or another psalm
countless times the Bible
references Armageddon and doomsday
impossible mission to remain
cool, collected and...

Maybe,     I       should

Two-Edged, Two-Faced
Your words express what you believe
 Your voice is what you play you perceive 
  Yet, your words and voice might be naive

You need a card today 
 For you to use any day
  And whenever you want you can throw it away

You...

Feather Edged Clouds
Feather edged clouds 

Softly they lay, enticingly close 
On the air of the day
Gliding and reaching across the sky
To kiss the peaks and ridge lines of the worthy.

Overlapping blades of varied length
Slow in unison
Their colours but washes of the same hue
 The beautiful plains of...
