Best In Bounds Poems


Love Too Great
Love too great can drown the one adored.
As if Jove sent  tsunami as a gift
Overwhelming all her personal choice.

Little offerings gentle and deserved
Will  not frighten either be too swift
Love too great can drown the one adored.

Speaking kindly as we find our  voice

not grounding mentality
in bounds of reality
vows turn unverifiable
truth becoming pliable
judgments unreliable
when the working of our brain 
leads toward being less sane

few usually agree
about structure of life's key
existence is that which is
beyond schemes in sales pitches
theories in various niches
worth being more selective
in forming of perspective

the self-image...

Sing-A-Longs
Simple songs and sing-a-longs
Reading the write, and righting the wrongs

Hanging noose and kissing booth
Telling lies and spreading truths

Brand new vest with a new bought dress
Cleaning up and making a mess

One in number a giant lumbers
Slipping deep into his slumber

Lazy nights and pillow fights
Soundly soaring ,...

Moving Hearts From Sadness
Rest me of your sad sounds
Listen for a moment to the silence
Arriving in you in bounds

Beg me for a wanted look
Seeing and missing is knowing
Leaving blank pages in a book

Share yourself like broken bread
Taste a notion of bestowing
Staying thoughts to my fleeting head

Join yourself to...

Engagement
Pink in dress with golden flakes.
Pink in shirt with blue suit.
Glowing eyes deep in lakes,
Building something strong in root.
 
It takes two souls to exchange rings,
Binding the two together.
Not as detention or tying of wings
But as mutual growth of feather.
 
"Relationships are made in heaven
Humans...

Rocket Man
Lost in time and lost in space
Separated from the human race
It gets so hard to breath up here
Orbiting through this atmosphere

I did not truly understand 
What all was involved with Rocket Man

The World below is just a globe
Staring time away out this lone port hole
I...

Delicate Flowers
All flowers have feelings
In actual fact
It takes lots of loving 
To keep them intact
They need looking after
With blood sweat and toil
And water and feeding
Improving the soil
Keep out the weeds
That will want to attack
Kill off the flies
Either white or the black
Talk to them daily
Play them some...

Premium Member Annie Londonderry
In 1894, Annie climbed on a bike
Told the doubters to take a hike
Planned to cycle cross the planet, found sponsors, took a gun
Though she died 50 years after, her legend had begun.

How much is embellished, it's hard to say,
She used steamships to bridge gaps along...

Touches of Blue
The sky was grey with touches of blue
And that’s the way I felt too.
My heart was at a very low peak
And your love I did seek.

Love is not like change you may
Find on the street
It doesn’t jump at you in bounds and leaps.
it is something...

Premium Member Brian's Song - So Easy To Please
There's such joy when I feel part of your bliss,
See smiles that you give me each day, 
Though integrity wills me to say this, 
No gift that I've planned is in play! 

Oh, it's all right, and death's just a doorway, 
Though door, you've not...

Don Diddy's Deeds
DON DIDDY'S DEEDS
 
Diddy, the daring, dashing dude,
Dabbled in dalliances, oh so crude.
Darting through dreams, dollars, and deucing.
Dangling diamonds & jewels, with his schuffel dancing.4

Diddy dabbled, dashingly with deals & diamonds,
Emotionally locking Cassie, his victims in bounds.
Danced with danger, without any care,
Dazzling in debauchery, beyond...

Quick cuts
Shows guts

Fast feet
Cuts neat

Jumps high

Good fakes
Smooth shakes

Sure hands
Wide span

Speed pays

Our country `t is always of we, 
Chosen of us who make her free__

Therefore let us keep her as family,
Awesome of beautiful, totally free,
In bounds of perfect love’s liberty,
That her child might grow in harmony.
