Cotton

Without sight or scent;
Formless; Lacking frame
You none would dare reject
But neither could they claim.
Elusive as thief in night
As slips through fingers does sand
So you are having taken flight
To we who are merely but man.

Losing entity yet unnamed
Many move to her next of kin.
Unlike sister, she is famed
As the attainable twin.
She one could know; could touch
So long one strive and strain.
Available, yes, much;
Trying to maintain.

When found lost are they;
Settle for the least?
She seduces most to stay
They know not she is a beast.
She tolerates man,
but love is not her game.
To cause one’s fall she will, she can.
Destroy before one breathe her name.

Forsake foolish pursuit, I pray.
Abandon their ‘love’; they give none.
Shine, they might seem, like day.
But fail; they will you shun.
They are all a flower vase;
Have fluid to give one breath.
‘Tis but a pretty face
For drink laced with death.

“Trust thyself” does still ring true.
Paramount to this, love too.
Without self they matter not.
“Accept oneself” should be sought.


To My Beloved Husband

(Reverse poem)
 

it’s all my fault that our union is 
without fruit.

i do not believe that

i still deserve respect as your wife.

this empty cradle is a twisting 
knife in both our hearts but 

I am happy to say that

I am the one who is barren, go
ahead and marry a second wife

i will never ever tell you 

to go and see a fertility doctor.

I know that you fear

being judged by your family all the time.

It’s also not nice for me,

you have been a good husband to me.

I have no reason to tell you that

I regret getting married to you.

I can in all honesty say

I don’t want to wallow in the past anymore 

it’s time to sow seeds for a brighter hereafter.

All I want is a stress free life

having said that,

i can’t imagine life without you…

I’d be lying if i told you that 

I’ve learnt to love myself.

I’m sure by now you realise that

I’ll always place your pride above my joy.

You are wrong to assume that

I will raise hell

the next time your sister spits on my face 
and calls me a mule,

I am a lot wiser and stronger now.

whenever your parents shun me

it’s water off a duck’s back for me

Premium Member Unending Wars

Unending wars




Heart rendering cries and war widows, 
Innocent faces bound to lose their glow,

Why this war and bloodshed ?

To define boundaries on religion and race,
Confine it to bravery and conquer for grace,

What in return are we going to get ?

Best of minds putting up to destroy,
Aren't we leading a dead convoy ?

When do we rise above war for humanity sake ?

Why not cherish birth rather ending up life,
Shun destruction and put an end to strife,

Do we still need to ponder ?

His amazing creations and nature in hue and cry,
I can't even breathe, can slashed wings ever fly ?

Unless we intellectuals put an end to unending wars !!

Premium Member Arise and Shine

Arise and shine, my dearest one
Let worries fade and darkness shun
The world outside awaits your light
So take a breath, and face the fight

Rise up tall, and stand up strong
Your voice will carry, with love and song
With each step forward, your path will clear
And blessings await, both far and near

The sun may rise or set each day
But your spirit remains, a constant ray
Your light will guide, and help us see
The beauty in all, and what could be

So go forth, with heart ablaze
And let your light shine, in all your ways
For in this world, we need your love
And by your grace, we will rise above.

Premium Member SPARKLE-

silence shines so brightly i'm blind;
closed mouth can't to be fed;
lose yet untied;
floating spirit flies;

more than angel;
more than a voice a singer;
more than a lover;
more than a cover;
the heart speaks aloud;

standing in inside related to the clouds;
i shine
i rose, i rise
i her light
from my father's eyes

more than angel;
more than a voice a singer;

more than a lover;
more than a cover;
the heart speaks aloud;
standing in inside related to the clouds;
i shine
i rose, i rise
i her light.  Related to for example i shine
i silence ever shown bright

Premium Member There Is Another Skywalker

“There is…another…Skywalker”
Though she’s not a Jedi Knight
The force is strong in her
She fights darkness with the light

A woman unafraid of danger
Princess Leia is her name
The kingdom is at stake
She’s out to win this game

She has wit, charm and beauty
A treat for Jabba the Hut
She kills that slimy sick beast
Will not sink down into smut

She wins the heart of Solo
Handsome rebel on the run
He brings to life her feelings
For his smile rivals the sun

She fears her evil father
But her brother knows how to save
For he is a Jedi knight
The force in him makes him brave

Star Wars is NOT a movie
That you view on some grand screen
It is not merely fiction
Thought up in someone’s daydream

There IS a mighty battle
That is fought out every day
The good tries to win the fight
The bad tries to have full sway

The “FORCE” is ever present
To give strength to overcome
Sure victory is in sight
Won by the only true SON

We all can be Skywalkers
Every day we can decide
To join forces with the good
And to shun the evil side

So, be brave and strong of heart 
The saber is yours today 
Go in with a rebel yell
FIGHT in the galactic play!

Premium Member Warpath Woman -

I need a woman who can dance on a diamond and who can curse on a candle with equal aplomb,I need a woman that can calm like a bomb,

I want a woman that can sew ginger stiches on a sad man's soul,I need a woman that can sing the sorrow sweet from unexpected defeat,

I need a woman I should trust like the sun,one that will find fun in the mud,carry a ton,laugh when its done,a lady that can rob a mob ,an old mom,

I want a woman that can slap a kid like shes petting a dog,one that speaks to spirits as though she was born in the fog,having eyes that compete,

I need a woman that can raze a nation,shun reservation,and raise the meek and weak to sublimation,a woman that could die with a smile,

I want a woman that can hug,shove & tug me,a fine lady that tells me " despite working for the world you are a king handsome & rude all the while "  -

Yours LOUDLY

An acrostic lyric, inspired by P!nk's Who Knew song...

You are fascinating
Oh my darling, I wish I was yours quietly
Underestimated greatly...gossips fly on by and time goes by on high
Rage and sorrow take over
Shun me out not...just because I'm shy and timid...drunk with uncertainty and drenched in silent wars at first...

Loudly, I will talk about my future with you
Oddly vivacious and vibrant you are...vividly remember you...
Ugly -- yes, this is how I feel and I need more confidence
Delighted to be your friend at the least...the greatest would be you and I together forever...
Lovely angel is what I describe you as, but I think you're a devil and damsel in distress in disguise
You are an inspirational and incredible singer!! Wish and pray I'm yours loudly as we sing our duet...but I'm just a solo after all...all alone now...no vow and I'm on my own once more to the core somehow...

Existence

Oh brother - why do you shun me so,
For I’m the truth you want no one to know,
I’m the bitter to your sickly sweet,
The ravaged attack of your feeble defeat.
I am the darkness in your light,
I am the blind that covets your sight,
I am the sinner that loves to sin,
Whilst your the one who strives to win.
You would not survive without my existence, 
For I am the hand that offers resistance,
Without my dark you wouldn’t know light,
I give you the day but I rule the night.
Deny as you must but make no mistake,
This coexistence will never break,
We take the opposite of what we give,
In order for us both to live.
Because you need me as I need you,
For I can’t lie unless your true,
But do not think that this brings peace,
Nor expect my chaos to cease,
For I would gladly be without you,
But that is something I could never do.
I need your light to to create my dark,
Which is we why can never exist apart .

Premium Member In Rebuke of the Grinning Harlot

She strumpets all into the nights until 
around her head the build-up's like fetid, gross cheese; 
her lewdness makes the earth and sun stand still: 
Lord! What miracle it'd be were she just a tease! 
Her grinning face I loathe and never miss;
to greet her with a large and phallic pecker  
delights her—but I swear to God on this: 
that I felt then the extreme need to deck her  
at the knowledge of her one-hundred lovers!? 
Deceived by her (that wily Lolita!),
I curse then forswear her and flee for cover 
vowing henceforth to shun that Medusa.  
     So with luck and some serendipity,   
     I abscond her wiles with no STD!
