Premium Member That Potent Urge -Gotta Go, Gotta Go Right Now

I think no stimulus could be
as potent as the one to pee.
A feeling frequent and innate
is this - the urge to urinate.
It comes each day to everyone
at work, at play, or on the run.

It comes sometimes as home you drive,
and soon you're hoping to survive
the bursting of your inner dam
while sitting in a traffic jam.
Then...

Premium Member Amidst Potent Floods

Though thunderous noises besiege me
And menacing flames threaten my being
I will gaze upon wondrous works of creation 
And trust that I should not fear

Amidst potent floods, I will stand 
Anxiety may hang thick as clouds above me
And though I trod through dark, murky waters 
My feet, by God's grace, planted well

For who keeps the ocean...

Nostalgia: Delicate But Potent

Today we went to the lake and played in the sun all day.
My skin turned a bright pink and it stings when you touch it.
You rubbed Aloe Vera on my wound, and the sting was gone. 

Today we went to a haunted house and monsters jumped from every turn.
My heart pounded like a drum, thump,...

The potent mentor
Always showing the little ones that she cares
Encourages them to give it their best
She is always there
Never takes anything for granted
She forever teaches them beneficial skills
What a great mentor she is
She is the epitome of having a strong will...

The Potent Beauty of Paleness Or To a Pale Pink Blossom

How could I’ve forgiven myself, 
amongst all the vibrant blossoms in the garden, 
to have missed you,
so gentle and subtle in your paleness.
 
For the world’s beauty dwells in paleness, too.
Eternal beauty’s in subtleness and the muted,
In the restrained and the ashen.
It’s in the absent and the hinted.

And missing you would have been,
Like a kind...

Premium Member Potent Pout

  "Potent Pout"

lips are warm and toasty

waking to your eyes
canvasing my face
as afterglow of Sun
at twilight time
dancing to love's music
as your arms enfold my waist
lips pouting to taste
melting steps of stars
into perfect rhyme.

lips are sweet and sultry

singing to soft melodies
words of tenderness
emitting pure emotion
as waves cascading ocean
lips lament devotion
building dreams and desires
uplifting to inspire
in...

Premium Member The Other Side of Me

They say I’m sweet and gentle
Calm as a lovable little kitten
Yet, they don’t know – haven’t 
Been told… about the side that
Makes men begin to tremble!

Premium Member Potent Petals

Clouds explode and bloom
Flower petals fall as rain
Sunshine picks them up again
Counting each scented one

He loves me
He loves me not
(The rhythm of a young girl’s dreams)

Aphrodisiacs of soothing fragrance swirl:
Lavender, Honeysuckle, Roses
Magnolias in the summer
Frangipanis for the evenings
In Spring, Wisteria, in time for beginnings
Lily-of-the-valley, delicate but tough
Jasmine, so calming at the pressure points

Young girls twist...

Potent Thought

Clone of me - different dimension
The worlds surround just as ours
Asleep I dream but she awake
As I awake she drifts to peace
déjà vu as she did before creeps
Appears as a spirit as spirit in me
Reborn optional as a picture I create
Darkness never falls upon believers
Potent thoughts drive me overload
Seeking answers to a mystery upon all
Time...

Potent Partners and Creepy Corners

Qualities of the person in the mirror lie within you
Moulded, built and boosted by friends and associates you choose 
Although to ascend the next level blood fresh and new
Needed in a cruise

Beyond agile ambitions and inputs
From the fickle feeds you tap
To traverse thrifty throughputs
Flying higher in the next lap

That your profile raises from tapping the...

Most Imp Potent and Salient Playbook Page

Most imp potent and salient playbook page...
'bout fluffiness of hair after washing

Now get ready for...
yup intelligent persiflage
determining if potty "talk" gauge
correctly calibrated courtesy this sage.

Beats out global warming
by a long stretch
most important commander
must set example you betch
chore life no matter
if miserable wretch

survives impeachable offenses
enough to make me kvetch,
especially four more years
yours truly will once again...

Premium Member Israel Israel

Israel, Israel, oh promised land,
rise above Netanyahu, and take a stand..
Gaza's been blown to a shred.
7,000 Gaze an children are dead.
This militant revenge with it's pelleting sting
has created a Holocaust of suffering..
Netanyahu's actions will cause you more woe.
This incompetent leader needs to go..
It's time to find peace, to negotiate and
stop creating more terrorists in wait..

Potent Idleness

My lost tender heart broken, overwhelming.
What will I do now?
How will I go on?
Did she ever really love me?
Why do these same questions keep coming back?
Destiny enfolds as remorseful memories abound,
Taking me deeper into myself,
Until I cannot be touched,
Until I cannot be hurt any longer.
The pain, the pain, so much pain.
When will it end,
When will...
