Playing For Keeps

"Playing For Keeps"

What the bleep is up with all the creeps
And cheats
It's time to release the beast off the leash
And have a feast
Sinking my teeth
Into each, until they cease

Left out to rot, not buried beneath
The ground six feet deep
In any minute it'll reek

You're a piece
And...

 She wanted to break up
 He wanted to play for keeps
 Had she missed the red flags
 That could cause her grief

 Some people just can't let go
  They may even get violent 
 when someone breaks up with them
 She will have...

Love For Keeps
Merging of hearts, solemnized as one
Cruising darts, piloted by the Almighty One
Scents of Chrysanthemum, crowned in leis
Glade of momentum, sweeping for deis

As you renew your vows
There are no buts or hows
Cling to each other without noise
Sing for each other with poise

As years go by, love...

Married For Keeps
Our marriage is a promise from heaven above,
That we are bind with each other forever to love,
A promise not to give up when trials arrived,
A commitment into a journey,our goal to make it last.
 
For now we are both parents the pressure arise,
But the joy...

Good morning, morning, it's a brand new day
The sun is shining, I'm on my way
To writing brand new poetry
Just for you, no one else can see
Or know what's in my heart but you
It's open, you can see right through
And test the waters with your own
Mine's...

As sure as the moon morphs 
 Into different shapes each day 
          As sure as heaven 
Cries a torrent of tears in spring
       As sure as water seeks

Playing For Keeps
Falling for a guy's pain
wanting to play the game
thoughts passing day by day
Just one touch! 
Just one scream!
i play for pleasure
I play for keeps.
hearing songs of a man like you
Falling so tell me you do!
want to play for keeps too.
Not one day!
Not one week
 Months...

Souls For Keeps
Cheap self now
Afford self-doing
Vulgar to so after-
Mass-ive tumor
That is eating,
And beating this needing
Eyes cries for the lies
Stained in youth drains
These young veins
Falsehood tyrants rule
Over peons passed
Loveliness lives like loneliness...

Killing Is For Keeps
They turn me on and let me go,
the floor is soaked in blood.
Remnants of what once was life,
is bathed inside the flood.
Wickedness is overcome,
two wrongs here do make right.
Has the death of one within the day.
keeps alive a house by night.
This is what I'm to...

Play For Keeps
Scents in air 
Stiff and stale 
Eyes of devil 
Skin so pale 

Moves so swift 
Can't catch me 
Turn the corner 
Then I see 

Close my eyes 
Horror to feel 
Knowing it's there 
Evil so real 

Chills on bones 
Wind stands still 
Voice of terror...

This One Is For Keeps
Her presence fills the room with an aroma
Ease is within her body language
There is no words to describe how the feeling is
Her beautiful soul captures my inner thoughts

The man above must have taken his time for this one
Intelligence was born with her
Love is hidden in...

For Keeps
what you have given me
something I can hold on to
a dream I can keep
it belonged to you
for a short while
now moving away
as life gets in the way
a love I can look back on
savoring in my heart
what could have been...

In It For Keeps
I want a man that will commit
And knows how to show it
He's not afraid of giving love
It's what his heart should be made of
Loving one another can be so satisfying 
If done so without any lying
I have to trust and believe 
For love is a...

Where is the love you promised us always? Eternal love is 
cast out of heaven for the angelic it seems—Quote by poet

It burns deeply knowing our ways of love aren’t angelic
Love’s awe emerges then torn apart as old as a Christian relic
It seems true that...
