Best Off Her Guard Poems

I've been dealing with the fluvid,
And boy, it's hit me hard 
I was out and about last week, 
When it caught me off my guard
 
My eyes had veined a fire red, 
When it took me by surprise 
All I could do, is to be...

I can’t hide the pain that’s beating in my heart
The sadness and the anger it’s tearing me apart
Never ever dreamed your news would hit me so hard
Your final piece of news really caught me off my guard

Over passing days I will start to be calm...

Life life should be treasured because 
Life is short and before you know it 
You might die anytime anywhere 
Life is filled with with thing to enjoy
Even though life does not seem fun 
First but it is worth it.

Life might show it's bad side before...

Upon the dusty shores I watched 
the calming waves of sea debauched. 
They seem to whisper in my ear 
then motioned me to venture near. 

Now had I known to swim not sink 
I could have held the salty drink. 

I drifted deeper into sea...

Dolly woke first kissed Damian 
On his cheek. He was still asleep.
Today was July 27th  Dolly 
Thought, "Oh my Goodness."
"Today is me and Molly's 
Birthday. Justin and 
Jordan turned 10 in April. Now
Me and Molly would be 38."
"Next Damian,
Amadeus and the Seven would

So who would have thought after 11 years
You’d be the one to take away my fears

I won’t deny that I’m hooked on you 
And I love the fact that you are hooked on me too
People being on our case, “so what’s the deal with you”
“You...

Conflict
 
The priest ran
Scared to raise 
An ignorant army

On a darkling plain
Loading guns
With dummy

Faith. The froth
Rose arrogantly
In the test

Tube.  They heard
Eyes shut and saw
Ears plugged,

Contorted faces
Expecting the explosion
Any moment.

Slowly
Very slowly the froth
Spilled over

Leaving behind—would
The “faithful”believe?—a near
Essence of religion.

Poet's Notes 1:
My poet's notes must precede the next Echo Poem as well because the poet 
has not given me permission to publish her poems on my site. I can, of course, 
reference her poems without restriction. So the TH in the title here is...

I slipped into depression
I never thought I would
As I really liked to mingle
At every chance I could

But the beast it got me
When I was off my guard
Stopped me my life from living
That hit me very hard

The tears my cheeks would water
Without a single thought
To go...

Mesmerizing. Fierce fully aggravating.
Sinfully off this guard
Narrowly beyond tracks
Heart-aching, credit-crunching.
Stomach-turning, memory-converging.
Temperance.
Control. Mind-bugging soul 
Cracks, strokes, tears, burns
The butterflies churn
Nerve-racking. Emotion-bedazzling
Ambience comely.

Done. No more.
Appetite so ended
Thoughts and ways never blended
Sharp. Frail. Obscure.
Gross. Beguiled. Unsure.
Lack-luster, deafening throbs
Shocked!
Spun. Tossed. Tangled. Wrinkled.
Lofty – nay, ever sinking.
Gully-deep, well-emptied
Blanked!
Completely darkened.

Sore. Wrecked....

Someone broke into my heart
And caught me off my guard.
He pilfered every ounce of love
And left a calling card.

I don't know how he did it.
I'm stunned beyond belief.
My heart was broken into
And ravaged by a thief....

Law of causality was 
seeking answers from the 
rites of flowers. Why do a black powder 
and glass sharpnels interrupt 
the turnover of bliss, 
when I held the sacred 
lotus in my hand ?

Somebody brings moon 
at halt. A loud explosion prepares
the earth for penance,...

It caught me off my guard
And crept up while I slept,
When I awoke at dawn
Through the window it slowly went.

It never said a word to me
Or whispered in my ear,
But it did do one thing,
To my eyes it brought a tear.

I knew one day it...

Whew, today’s unexpected chilled wind
Made a mockery out of both spring
And fall in their changing off the guard-like
Waning and waxing in the rhythmic circadian
Nature of Nature’s revolving canvassing.

In frosty goosebump fashion, it appeared as if
Impatient, ole man winter, decided to give the day
An early “trick...

A bee and a wasp came by today.
From the land of faeries truly fey.
They zoomed around my autumn flowers.
Bee stayed a bit, wasp stayed for hours.

Wasp asked me questions long and hard.
I told her everything, off my guard.
We became friends, that wasp and me.
Now I...
