SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY

See what you want to see
Don't Look at me!
You are staring you are watching;
Eat what you can't be

Come sleep by my side
The whole world is our playground
Don't make a sound
Stop clowning around

In the mist of the night,
You keep me from crying

I wipe...

Death Is Not the Enemy
I have found myself at the threshold of death on several occasions. Each time I managed to 
look it in the eye, doff my hat and say, “I’ll catch you up the trail.” This is not to say that I 
am some special breed of...

Premium Member I Can Be Your Enemy Or I Can Be Your Friend
Travels make the mind wise
Wise enough to know
Everywhere you go is change
That comes either fast or slow
The Sun can be an enemy
Or the sun can be a friend
Weather it is in the desert
Or in the cold and wind
 
The rain goes where it needs
And sometimes...

Premium Member My Enemy
My Enemy
From my time I have learned
It is not republican or democrats
king or queens
That shall determine my fate
It is not the color of ones skin
That makes them who they are
Or which religion one serves
Or which corner 
They choose to worship
It is not the feud
Of which...

beautiful mattress
hot and riled explosive gift
nature at her best

the music
listen to the moaning wind
biting to the pain

the rainbow
fingertips touch a few drops
kiss of dew

Texas scat, scat

Premium Member The Enemy Within
For two long years, maybe more
You lurked in hibernation, silently sleeping 
Waiting for the time you reared your ugly head
The surgeons couldn’t find you
But in our hearts we knew you were there
Test after test – a waiting brief
You stole away our lives like a silent...

Time My Enemy
Time has become my greatest enemy
It drags on, an infernal grating on the nerve
Like a broken muffler, dragging around the curve 
While my love and I starve for each other’s company

Until time surrenders, I wait my love with baited breath
Watching time, which I have confounded...

Man's Greatest Enemy
Why, the greatest enemy of man is man
for man has subdued everything else
Fear not the tiger, fear the murderer's plan
Just hearken well to what history yells!

At times twas jingoism, at times a rancorous desire to do harm
Fear just man's malice and his ugly evil
If his...

My Own Worst Enemy
YOU'LL NEVER WEAR THE CROWN
NO BETS YOU'LL WIN THE RACE
NO MEDALS ON YOUR CHEST
NO TROPHIES FOR YOUR FACE 
NO ONE COULD EVER LOVE YOU 
YOU'LL NEVER MEASURE UP 
DON'T EVEN BOTHER TRYING 
YOU'LL NEVER BE ENOUGH 
THESE THOUGHTS SWIRL IN MY HEAD 
I'M DROWNING IN...

Premium Member Friend Vs Enemy

                       Friend

                Warm, amicable 

       Visiting, shopping, celebrating

    Makes you whole, don't want to part

  No communication, avoids you, hurts you

Winters My Enemy
Throughout the winter it's like I'm gone 
Watching you from far beyond 
Seeing you through the trees 
Something sounds like honey bees 
Watching you from far beyond 
Wishing that I was not gone 
Lovely roses round your head
Trees that shine green and red 
Winters gone...

My Enemy
I walk in frustrated. My mind is full of anger
but I don't know who I'm mad at.
I just wanna yell but I hold it in
And take it out on those that don't deserve it.
Then the light flicks on and off
As if I'm in a ring....

Premium Member Eliots Friend
You’ve got a lark on the brain
I’ve got a ghost in mine
Shape of the shadows of things to come
Half started is only half begun

In the distance I hear a violin
Loosely based on ragged knee
Shades of grey floating free
Insipid dreams are following me
Took the tragic risk
Death...
