Long In for a penny in for a pound Poems

"Salvage"

My Darling,
My Love,
My Everything,
This is Number One Hundred. 
I told you that I’d reach it, and I have.

Violet scented air was...

From The Saddest Depths Of Bitter Despair

once beloved now scorn
fills each little crevice
life seems out of service
bitter cold turns the wind
dark sets its pains to send

taking over spirit and soul
coursing quickly through the veins
overpowering heart and brain
oh, the foolish things we do
when love gets a hold of you

you can't eat and you can't sleep
over your...

If I were a penny and you were a pound, 
I'd be looking to find an safer playground.
Keeping my eyes peeled to dodge you, Mr. Cool,
I would never walk alone to or from school.

In for a penny, in for a pound
money makes the world go round.

“Baksheesh, pretty lady, Cleopatra eyes?”
foreign intrigue in a bantering guise.

“What do you want, My Queen?”
“Just for you, right here, behind the screen.”

One dollar,...
