Best Under The Same Roof Poems

What more could I have done? I'd already taken far too much.
There was no more gentleness in your voice, nor in your touch.

Your cursing and verbal abuse eroded all my respect for you.
I tried to help fight your demon; something only you could do.

Our home...

When did the concept of family become
a tired cliché of phased-out tradition
in need of redefining?

And when did we abandon our parental duties
to glorified babysitters with no real interest
in our childrens' physical and emotional development
outside of their weekly paychecks?

We are bombarded by screaming advertisements
dictating an acceptable...

It’s an old story.
We were classmates, you and I, 
And later became colleagues,
Working under the same roof.
We had more or less the same specialization.
Married in the same year.
Our children went to the same school.
So far so good!

Now the plot thickens, so to speak!	
Once, if you...

between lust and love

cohabitation

BEING A TRAMP IS GIVING ME A CRAMP

I am a transient and I like it that way
I am a philosopher with intellectual utterances to say
I can’t remain in one place for a very long stay
Because I owe too many dealers money I cannot pay

So if...

My intimate stranger

Why are we so far away from each others thoughts?
And we are not so thoughtful to each others needs
And we live under the same roof on the same bed
But our minds are miles apart at dead end
Withdrawn to each others shell

Why are we...

There are not many things in life more important which can give us a better feeling everyday than the values in family interests.
That there is mutual respect and always consider to make decisions together without hurting each other.
The inner peace and trust to each other...

UNQUOTABLE QUOTES: XLIV

Don’t translate poems if you want yours read.
A pain in the ass is a pain nevertheless.
A « race" in any other language is still the shape of the nose.
Every cloud hides shining gold that reveals the silver lining.
It’s the darkest cloak which keeps...

I live in a wooden house
I cannot turn on the fireplace
’cause I may burn the walls
Winter has already come
and the snow covered my garden
and cold froze the neighbor’s water well
I look through the window
and wait for you to come home
I’m so cold and I can’t...

Warren Jeffs is Wrong About Polygamy

By Elton Camp

It seems impossible a man with ideas so odd
Would ever be selected as a spokesman by God
Religious freedom is the claim .he’ trying to make
To believe it, an awful lot of gullibility it’d take

For those who, the Bible...

The flame stands straight
On a candle burning itself
In stillness of the night
An old-authored book at the right
Side imitates the fate
Of a beggar’s palms
Waiting for alms
 
The candle and the book
Lie on the same table
In the same room
Under the same roof
The bitter air outside
Evolves into wind
It permeates...

I am going to miss her 
I already do miss her 

I feel regret 
regret for always fighting with her 
not always being by her side 
our lives will never be the same when she leaves
our heads will never be under the same roof again...

Sitting all by my
Staring at the wall just muttering and musing
Why am I here ?
Am I really needed ?
I'm sure the things can
Be done well  without me
As it is I come in the way of most
I'm sick  of Facebook
Sick too of what's app
Going...

Clasping the bed linen

The old woman gasped for breath

And pleaded air to enter into her nostrils

She beseeched before the heavens

To pump back health into her

She sensed the fear of her heart

Embroiled in a war between life and death



The subtle heat of the case

Could be sensed...
