Protective Love
Theories long forgotten, strategies of self interest predominant
The war of Forces, Principalities so dark, no man walks away untouched
My senses so keen I feel it all a mile away
I send the Angel's and it's all said and done in the breath of a second
Then a...

Premium Member Compassionate Tears and Protective Arms
For Mothers
 The Taveta Golden weaver treats her littles so dear
warms her nest as she's always there.
Even when in distant search for a meal
her protective covering; she ensures they wear
so as to be absolute; she's always near.

Her compassion; she invests in me
with each and every...

My Fun Loving, Protective and Quite Curious Paddy
You were so teeny and tiny and fuzzy and bright

You stayed by my side through morning and night

You were always so excited to see me when I walked in the door

 We,d play games with your toys strewn all across the floor 

Our Love was...

The Wrath of the Protective Spear
Raging. I scream 
Such anger emits throughout me. 
Free is all I want to be. 
God oh god why won you let me. 

You’re bound by anger 
Jealousy and fear.
And surround me 
With your feelings
 That gleam with the un pure. 

My freedom is all...

Aquamarine waves
lap pristine rugged shorelines
casting call for beat
bohemic coral ballets
hip sandy beach applause

Premium Member naturally protective reflex
   Mayonnaise in my mouth; 
it was turkey—the first Pollack 
I saw. His fault that the splatter 
looked like a forgotten egg on the side. 

  Walking toward the waste 
basket, I threw up in it after. 
It tasted like sour metal...

Protective
protective feelings 
remain trapped 
within 
can't get rid of 
overwhelming 
urge to run to your aid
even now 
even after
these years 
of estrangement 
I still find myself 
feeling 
overprotective 
over you...

Protective Before a Detective
“Not sure of being familiar 
With Washed-Ashore Emilia,
Neither saw The Cadillac 
Not The Woman in Lilac,
Whom they’d decided to waste,
Stripping her down to the waist”.

Oh! How my two ears did burn
And my quiescent belly churn
And I stopped seeing Keats Urn
When the cops said “It’s my...

In awe of Bob Dylan’s poetic creations 
The war of the villains eccentric provocations 
The score of penicillin for preventative medications 
The law of premonitions filled with the Holiest vibrations 

Refusal to compromise when faced with an ethical question 
The commercially incentivised disgrace of...

An angel earning his wings from an epiphany of prophetic elation

Mama deer pranced diffidently
checking the meadow for man’s smell
Her spotted fawn trots along
unaware of danger
checking out the food

There Is No Other Dad Like You
Dad,
I loved it when you showed me how to hammer in a nail.
The many times at the lake you carried my shovel and my pail.
When you taught me how to hold a hockey stick.
Shooting the puck is what I learned quick.
The times you hid behind...
