Premium Member MY DEAR JOSEPHINE

Wife of 34 years
Sudden death 
Surprising caught off guard
Our love to emphasize
Sheer beauty and Charm
Thinking in wit
Miss you much
Feeling your spirit daily at night
Invisible kisses full of delight
Remembering our stagecoach rides
The hugs and closeness
Togetherness wonder
As I recall, we were journeying through the Cheyenne trail
It was our honeymoon back then
Romantic and compelling elegance
Under the Moon and Stars
Memory of enchanted and truthful
Your soul always in my heart
Kisses left the mark
One day my love we will be together once again
Finishing what we started being in love
That meet that will be
Until that definite time, I must retreat
My love Josephine
Kisses to the skies through the secrete winds.

Struggle

I'm sick of saying every day it is struggle struggle struggle trying to live up to expectations of other people try and keep trying to get my hustle on and I'm still not meeting the little things like stability it's like I'm always meant to live with poverty striding through a mist of fog like I can see my path clearly hovering over a pond of ideas hoping to get a permanent catch so I do have to backtrack over my rocky past look back and emphasize what I should have had and I've got to be driven for tomorrow because the future is catching up fast 39 now the big 40 next.......

Premium Member Octaves of Love

Line of inquiry:
“Joy, empathy, compassion
on an upward arc
an effervescence eternal
causes bliss ignition to start”
—Unseeking Seeker

Before we turn the key of bliss,
before pedal accelerates,
dirty window, a reminisce,
where tepid smog and self abates.

Practicing fingers’ float with joy,
reaching outward to emphasize.
A see-you-note-raised-sigh enjoy;
poignant compassion with the eyes.

Vitamin see delirious -
bubbly lyrics; a champagne high.
To play the note of serious
with truth and love, and not a lie.

Eternity in mind; no jokes.
It’s not to satisfy your self
and pat your back, what’s done for folks.
Left hand sees not right hand; herself.

We join with God; how blessed are we.
He allows us, each, company.
When miracles happen, the glee
is shared, in bliss-accompany.

Wind in hair, godspeed key impact.
A melody of unity.
Looking upward, where nothing’s lacked.
Don’t miss the opportunity!


Premium Member THE GHOST OF MEDGAR WILEY EVERS

Soul Full Medgar Evers
Justice fiery
The need to rise
Walk the unthinkable Earth
No Justice No Peace to emphasize
Voting Rights Act taken away
Jim Crow laws come back won’t be a give away
Civil Rights stance
The Supreme Court didn’t get it right
The country is now in a plight uptight
My Soul cannot rest
My Spirit will contest
It’s time for all minorities to wake up and come together
The nation was built on principles for “We the People”
Forefathers laid it out plain and simple
Voice of America, we can’t sit back and let our voting rights be taken
away
It is not ok
We can’t take it light
We need to fight
Mobilize in numbers
Together strong
Break the barriers that bind
Loud voices intertwine
Voting Rights Act made history
Turned into a diminished light into darkness
More than fact
Democracy track
All it’s worth that should be
I am the Ghost of Medgar Wiley Evers
My voice in fight
We will not continue to be uptight
Enough is enough
Fight, Fight and Fight
We shall overcome
Victory in our grasp.

Mid-Life Love-Spell

Imperfections. All that each
Can but emphasize 
In its earthly guise.
Angelic world, which reflects
Young woman's beauty
Is this! Is yours! See?

Premium Member COME CLOSER

Look into my eyes
Love to emphasize
Heart sincere
Love preservers
Having no fear
I want to hold you tenderly and close
Expect more than flowers
Together for hours
Every sip of wine being our love over the years
Every lifted wine glass highlighting our inspiration
Ultimate evening of you and I
Honor and pleasure of your company
Come close, closer
Romantic kiss and embrace
Lips to yours
I love you
Now and ever before
Affectionately and Deeply.


Premium Member GYM ETIQUETTE FOR A REASON

Not a show off
Protection of course
The gym stands for exercise
Word to the wise
Proper training technique to emphasize
Keep sneakers and socks on
Smelly bare feet don’t belong
Be deodorant ready
Concentrate on training equipment lifting steady
Respect others as yourself
Don’t act like everybody else
Shower at the end
Make sure your workout clothes are clean
Otherwise, Lysol disinfectant spray will be the stream
Gym fresh
The gym is not a conversation place
Keep up the exercise pace
Exercise is not for a stiff
Show respect the whole time
Don’t disobey gym policy rules
Your membership could be terminated at discretion of the gym’s wish
Exercise is about body transform
Etiquette is the required norm.

Premium Member colin hay; Hey '''''

This man sang about the 'Land of thunder'
Although not a native.' Born in the land
Down under..Did he cut his knuckles in
Playgound fights.? Did he experience our 'very
Hot teenage' nocturnal delights.? can he
Really emphasize.? Outside of plastic cd's
Or distant downloads..If ya bloody please'
I say rack right off, you've f' aod enough' So at least from
Me.' its real hard cheddar, and more colourfull
Stuff
Just stay 'down-breeze'
For our nation is strong..And made you
 play, a bonzer song, but ya know what colin.? You've had way
Too much now to say..And If you've heard of
Normie which you must have done.. Well
His song; tells me, your day is truly long gone.'

Premium Member WHAT MAKES POETRY

Total exploration
Needs a person

Step by step realize
You know now what makes Poetry
Collaboration of Poet’s strategy coming together in yesterday’s thoughts in tomorrow’s divine.

Premium Member BED CHASE

Wanting a person to get up and be moving
Bed chase
Wasn’t a race
The person needed a push as a head start
It’s was time for rigorous exercise
Time for the morning run
The person dragged for so long
The bed chased the person at the door and down the block
The bed wanted the person to jog
Get the blood flowing and energizing
The bed was in charge
Being large feeling large
No more being lazy
Get up and exercise
That is what the bed was trying to emphasize.

Premium Member PRECIOUS

Life is a treasure created with a purpose and value
Every hour, minute and seconds on a schedule
Precious is the sound
Never take life for granted
You only have one life and one body
Togetherness being the ultimate importance
Tomorrow and the moment not promised
Take heed of what life is about
More than self, but extending to others
It starts with family and friends
Giving through compassion
Stop watch of life observing
Time is ticking
Enjoy life as you fulfill
Once the stop watch ceases, it’s over
Life fullest detail
Time is value
Treasure those precious moments
Exemplified precious times
Exchange weak links and turns into strong bonds
Life is a passing through phase
Today could be suddenly no more
Precious, precious and precious in the flow
Don’t take life unlikely
Favoritism is not a want nor need
Love is the bond
Think and emphasize togetherness as your life blossoms along
Spread it around.

Sacrifice, Spillage

Italics, seek to emphasize.
Sacrifice, thy spill.
Seer and prophet, inner eyes.
Oracle, see nil.

Happiness, thy fate is doom.
Engraved on a tomb.
Belladonna, thy full bloom.
Heart of mine? No room...

Wind, carry the sparks of fire.
Cicadas, shriek loud.
Blessed is a dark desire?
Humble thus the proud.

Union of tomorrow?
It's got to start today.
Soil, what is thy sorrow?
Whene'er I blow away.

Castle weighted down with ice?
Well, 'twill stop a siege.
Penury, plight, poison, price.
Light a match, my liege.

Wicker man, thy nick'ring mare.
Fingernails to pare.
Death arises from despair?
Bet I'll see you there.

Hair beneath a river's flow?
Warrior, you slipped.
Gold: the reason all men go!
Quahog, how you quipped!

Tympani, train thy temper.
Tomorrow, tamarisk.
Tale and talent, take the tour.
Time the torrent brisk...

Premium Member Mother Dear

It never was the Meissen that she threw
but dinner plates, of which we had so few
our dad would have a scar upon his head
and breakfast plate was just a slice of bread

The kitchen knife was brandished now and then
to emphasize who was the Mother Hen;
and we? We justly cowered in our beds;
threw our meagre covers ‘oer our heads.

She wore a mini skirt and beehive hair
when she was sure my father was not there
then took us visiting our “uncle Stan”
When asked, we had just visited our gran.

A Babycham and brandy was her thing
that was, without, or with, her wedding ring
and all the men in all the bars, they knew,
and told, they simply had to form a queue.

And yet, when knees were scraped and hugs required
it was from mother they were most desired
The distance that our father held from her
meant any love for him, was just a blur.

Premium Member FORBIDDEN RIVER

The attempt
A wooden Bridge
No Enter
Weak Foundation
Danger and Caution
Beware
River flows 
Water swim tolerance
Just avoid crossing
Courage to try
Warning to emphasize
Bridge uncertain 
No hold on grasp
Cross at your own risk
Warning signs you shouldn’t miss
Danger, Warning
Find another way to the other side.
