I wish appreciation,
Without hesitation;
Love,
My conversation is you;
This heart holds it sacred,
Me feeling in a way that,
You're the favorite,
Then, today, it's true;
So, I'm unafraid to say,
I do –
Intrepid and uncompromised
(What Ratri has to say, Niladri also)
Dreams of life are not always met
Those are not always successful
Yet, men have the sole power to hold on to the key to wishful dreams
But, many times, those are like the one time relationship of those charity organizations
One failure shatters the inner confidence permanently
When there is no residual strength to stand up again
During those tasteless, strange and clumsy episodes of life
We need love
Intrepid and uncompromised.
Keep forgetting many things. Keep forgetting everyday.
Keep forgetting oath, keep forgetting gratitude
Keep forgetting definition of love, keep forgetting living well
While walking lonely in the rain, keep forgetting the umbrella also.
Everyone needs a destination in life
Durable and strong in magnitude and enormous in hope
Where the desired mingles with the greater meaning of life.
Keep forgetting those too while walking amongst many.
When everything ends in deep darkness,
there is still a hope of sunrise,
For the hope must be a true one.
Sometimes it is only essential to forget , for the sheer necessity to live.

From grayed ashes you rose from the nest
Burns exposed through charred black dress
One last breath, one more death, laid to rest
Sins of an immortal soul, you chose to confess
Wings scorched and tattered, pinions burned
Determined to fly, a phoenix rises in the night
Though your grieving heart was again spurned
Rise, valorous Phoenix, rise and take flight
From cleansing flames your heart is reborn
Torn from smoldering embers, journeying on
your way...a withered rose, pricked by a thorn
Poor lovely creature, to ill fate you are drawn
Firebird of beauty, left for dead without feign
Fallen but never defeated, you shall never die
Over you, dark death holds no tyrannical reign
Rise, intrepid Phoenix, rise to freedom and fly!

Majestic flight sweeps up from lobby sprawl
Mattress padding pink carpet creeps corners
Bannisters ornate in century's old discussions
Omit disclosure of grim history above
Uniform scuff tread flat railed staircase
Stretches ominously into third level dim
Each step taken fades from life the stepper
Cobwebs claim frames of dust dampened portraits
Compressing is staircase from dingy third
Wide shouldered folk hunch, tunnel encroaching
Trapdoor top is a shock to wood tread traveller
Rejoicing of stiffened hinges, solitary sound
Huddled roofspace floods intrepid with doom
Heanous endings leach from panelled attic walls
Slivers of snowdust rays showcase eye sockets
Emptied in skulls committed to fourth floor torture

The Fourth Floor of Nowhere Poetry Contest
Craig Cornish
Cavernous rooms bellow
tomorrow's departure
Void pools desperation
Mangled clothes, makeshift pillows
My hair collapses on your coat-hanger chest
Its curtain opaques trepidation
Foot worn wool fuzz carpet
Absorbs awaiting absence
Limb clinging disturbs fibres
Summoning static air
Captured, our fraught
obtains courage

God inspired me to walk through fire
And made me feel I could go ever higher
Just a small lad with big dreams
In a world cracking at the seams
If I floated on cotton ball clouds
I wonder if He would be proud
Of everything I've accomplished and done
As I peer out at the golden setting sun
Maybe I'm lucky because I know how it ends
And I peer out at every angel God sends
But there is a smile upon my face
I'm at the finish line of life's race
Life is truly a grandiose thriller
But also a subtle killer
Ever intrepid I face the darkness but not alone
God guides my eyes as proof for my sins I did atone
meaty limbs of oak -
august plumage aflutter
with draconic hiss

*august - marked by majestic dignity or grandeur
She liked being her own boss
It suited her personality very well
Coming in at your own hours,
occasionally taking a nap when you chose to
Surf the latest fashions,
scroll through the top trending news
Nothing like having your own business,
it's even better when it becomes a success
As an intrepid entrepreneur,
just another day in the life
She enjoyed making the fresh bread,
she enjoyed holding the butter knife
Spreading the wealth
gave her much satisfaction
Treating her employees good
was the ultimate euphoric lift
Shopping at the free market
is such a volatile affair
Things don't always go as they should
Bids accepted, bids denied;
some days she won the contract,
some days she was miffed
But making her own decisions everyday,
was like each day giving herself a gift
As an intrepid entrepreneur,
she enjoyed tasting the frosting,
she enjoyed cutting the cake
She enjoyed setting her own clock every daybreak
A tribute to my beloved sister Patrice
I'll always go for it!
Fear will never hinder me-
If I die, I die.
Limerick : Once an intrepid Olympian
Once an intrepid Olympian
Craved for anthem gold on the podium
Games after games came fourth
So sawed his arm in wrath:
Won at Paralympics gold and odium!

The never ending journey
It can take you anywhere
Name it and you're there
As two hearts melt into one
It's an explosion of passion
Seeping out to light the night
Lusting hearts coming together
Emotions held captive within
Candles burning brightly now
Shades of midnight blue
Light up the purple skies
Desperate hands touching
Tender is the night we touch
Lying within each other's arms
A thousand eyes watching us
As shadows fly across the sky
Some are passed, some still survive
Make my way down the chamber of love
I hear such sweet moaning from above
Hands touching flesh to flesh as
The scent of us mingle in the air
Flashes of the cosmos floating thru
The infinite wisdom surrounding us
I like it this way as we touch ~ yes
This is the way I'd like us to stay
You take me there where I want to be
there is no time or space with us as
Love's passions receive their message
And we drift away on clouds of lust
