Premium MemberDivinely Flawed

I don’t need thunder
to feel the rumble,
nor lightning
to sense storm’s flash

nor icons to tear
nor statues to bleed
to realize within all
creation, God’s sacred 
omnipotent cache -- 

Yet, while in the smallest
unlimited vastness – 

and in the deepest fathomless 
depth --

admittedly, all by grace of Almighty
God,

little joy would remain for me 
in life I am certain, if

The Leads Were Flawed

our impenetrable marriages   
we both in honesty, blatant
honesty even in the
darkest of confession
It's a trust based on a premise
of us being together
removing our selfs from
the responsibility of
others
to unwind and relax
at least 20 minutes a day
a date every two weeks
a vacation every two years
that's fresh
thats keen
that's cool!


Thanks,
Duno Cecilio

The House of Lords




Bored of deplored 

Hordes of frauds

On abhorred company boards

Who applaud flawed

Seats stored…for cheats

Apply or buy on the fly

Enjoy till they die


Getting podgy..betting on dodgy bills 

Thrills of blue pills

Moolah the ruler

Swills..fills the tills



Cash revenues poured

Toured here & 

Did maraud abroad

All avenues explored

Scored a stash

Claps & back slaps

Promises will slash

Countries floored collapse

Nice one chaps

Ice caps thawed

Adored

Flawed Perfection

Flawed Perfection


In the dark corners of her smile,  
I find a fire that cuts through miles,  
Of shattered dreams and whispered pain,  
Where only truth can break the chain.  

Her imperfections, they sing to me,  
A perfect flaw, a mystery,  
In every scar, a deeper grace,  
Her beauty

Flawed Characteristics

Misunderstanding life lessons
striving to be all we can be
hoping to change another
wishing for close bonds
fearing being alone
thinking money the solution
expecting acceptance from all
searching outside of self for answers
using excuses to avoid accountability
avoiding healing to keep codependencies
focusing on others life to avoid own
blaming to justify actions
projecting pain as a defense mechanism
diminishing self for comfortability 
agreeing to

Premium MemberHumorous Laud, Deeply Flawed

The macabre’s amusing at times,
makes for off-beat, hilarious rhymes.
To my wife they’re not funny;
she wants cute little bunnies
and not ones that are strangled by mimes.

She says, “Why must the animals die?
And that one with the bird made me cry.
In the end, she did soar
off to some distant shore,
but her kin were all shot by some

Premium MemberWonderfully Diverse But Flawed

We have got a wonderful world
full of amazing creatures all around
so diverse and beautiful truly great
very colourful and bright to abound

It is indeed so amazing really amazing
this earth is so vast and so very full
what a picture we have to behold
but man is guilty of being so cruel

In Africa especially so many under threat

CONFESSIONS OF A FLAWED HEART

It hurts to see you hurt; it breaks me to see you hurt because of me. I don’t like what’s going on, but how can I possibly stop it?
I am not perfect, not good enough for you, but I am trying. I want what’s best for you, but what I had in mind is not

When the mirror of

I'M PERFECTLY FLAWED

I have known love;
Underneath your tender arms.
In the much you have;
Your smile is the charm.

Your smile brightens my face; 
Scaring away my wrinkles.
You make my heart race; 
Works up my ankles.

Your heart have I trampled;
And emotions juggled.
I'm full of trouble; 
No doubt, bundled.

Teach me your love language; 
Embrace me with my buggage.
Lend me your courage;
For

My Existence Is Flawed

My existence is flawed,
Bogged down by day, month, year old thoughts
I cannot stop,
My existence is flawed

Matching statistics taunt me,
But solemn truths surface
when guards pass drearily to sleep,
no more minds to keep,
Was all this worth it,
Oh the burning yearning to be free
of the wretched body

When I went insane I thought
I spoke to god,
And to them, distraught,

Are We Selling An Alternative That Is Flawed In Most Cases

If my Mothers life pointed to a way forward,
Without the need for drugs, 
Or an excuse to dwell on the unfairness of life.

If my Fathers life pointed to how to get by, even with a chip on your shoulder,
And not crash and burn,
Despite all life throws at you.

If my life with all its testing times
