Constructive Critism
There's consequences in all we say and do 
Go forward and walk your walk and I'll go ahead and talk my talk 
Quite distraught due to the fact that you're too good to be true
I know that the Lord of Accord will be following me...

Classy Lady
Most females have forgotten that it takes more than 
just being a woman to qualify as a lady.
Many women think that being sexy is all about 
T & A, and not about inner beauty and the attractiveness of a gorgeous mind. Hence, they have put...

Premium Member Fantasy Dreams
Illusions are smoke and mirrors;
the sky's black, and yet, we see blue.
And like sheep, we're led by shearers;
whose reality blocks our view.

Flashing neon propositions;
young eyes with the night's city lights.
And the lambs rush to the slaughter,
unaware reality bites.

A taboo magic elixir;
drugs hold anxieties in check.
But...

Not to play any blame game,

Premium Member Answer Me This
Americans have overcome many great trials,
But harbor too some persistent denials.
Stubbornly clutching long-held positions,
Over time have become national traditions.
Pride in the sanctity of individualism,
Elevates in stature, creating a schism.
Unresolved core beliefs, rationalization,
Test the thinking of this citizen nation.

Answer Me This:
Why do so many use the...

The Quintessential Quinn 11-17-2012 Acrostic-Italian Sonnet
Quinn, framed by the most proper name
Uttering her essence in pen,
Indispensably, provides men
Necessary musings for fame.
To remain ahead of the game,
Essential credentials must win
Substantially. Since she has been
Significant, Poets take aim.
Excellent expressions describe
Notable features of my muse,
That are what the doctor prescribed.
Ideal in all the...

Phoenix
  I feel so damn trapped in rage 
Like a rainbow lion in a cage 
I feel so much pain in my brain
And it's driving me quite insane

Numb my solace shame
Get me feeling more tame
I need some friends to rely on
I want to stay...

Premium Member Engaging the Family Laundry
Perhaps infertile
incomplete
unwashed memories
of elder v younger,
Goliath v David,
crusades v communion
critical, yet part of chronic, events
speak extended family disengagement truth
to powerful dirty laundry engagement failures.

That disclaimer said,
I have two incomplete conversations
in mind and heart
and what I hope I will eventually learn
from mistakes in anemic compassion

nearly changing changing life of one boy

Safe Travels
I was shot-gun in the car a little while ago as I can recall
We drove from desert to desert from Arizona to California
I suddenly felt like a professional photographer here – snap cheers
I took far too many photos of the desert wilderness it clearly appears

Super Power Explodes
Power in the hands of a woman? Wow!
She can wreak wreck worse than 
All the fires burning  in satanic hell
Or she can turn her hell into a paradise

With super powers invested in me 
It would be a minuscule to almighty's, yet 
The aged would...

A  paramilitary paramour

 
He sang those words…..
The words I could not summon sans a vociferous voice
lack of those words gave me nil another choice

while eyes shut tight
