Abstinence

Abstinence is a new key
It's the only way a man can see
Abortion laws is no joke
Putting women in a yoke
So, how can a women be free

silent walls collapse
folding in sucked into the void
with no sound or light,
to show what once beamed bright there
leaving a black abstinence

Kindness blends with kindness
Anger sires anger
Mindfulness lingers with reason
Affection grows in caring and charity
Laziness retards inspiration
Abstinence dissolves patriotism...

Premium Member In His Flowing Robes

Preaching repentance in his flowing robes
    Abstinence from that which stains the soul

  The ascetic slumped forward, face downcast
    Neglecting his body, he'd breathed his last

Abstinence

I 
predictably
made you accustomed
to my love
with daily and intense doses
of passion, enchantment
beauty and magical chaos
so 
one day
I could kill you 
like an addict dies;

in pain.

Patricia Evans

If

If pain was my friend I would lie here and die--
If happiness was my enemy I would apologize every hour--
If heartache was my lover I would practice abstinence--
And if misery was my company I would always dream

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch Nights

Where was I,
absent?

In thoughts of abstinence 

You crawl, like the leach
and I am your wall

Against a stream
unlocking
dreams

Of a shadow-less room
I know, what you want
to do

But

Your fingers slip through

-- the air.

Yarnaholics

Really, no need to fuss,
I signed on with Yarn Anonymous,
Here I stand to confess,
I bought more wool, not less,
Then I did sign the pledge,
I took abstinence to the edge,
Here I stand and say,
I have not bought wool for ten whole days!

A new beginning
        With
Extravagant flowers'
Doth' adorn your feet
         Decant

Of Abstinence

The Heavens' shall

And sprout forth
The seed's of your
    Beauty...

Premium Member The Desperate Smugness of a Recent Convert

We've all seen it
their cloying intensity
to the new cause:
tobacco cessation,
gluten-free digestion,
mindful rumination,
deep cleanse elimination,
erotic poetry,
for the lucky
erotic reality,
alcohol abstinence,
Yahweh's deliverance.
And we can only
smile and nod
knowing
this too will pass.

Intransigence

INTRANSIGENCECapricious in opinion
Parental – High handedness
Work put in
By sentinel minions
Juggernaut enthused 
Serial circumstance
Discorded use. 	Abstinence!
Crushed!				UNDONE!
Inconsonance
I am slighted.  Rebuffed!
Disinherited
Urgency brings revolution
Insurgence
Of divine retribution.

End.

Abstain

Wanted to get laid
But I cannot pay because we have not been paid
So…ran to get aid
Now I am afraid
Of contacting aid
Because if I should contact aid
No amount of aid
Will cure the aid
So instead I have decided to abstain
Because abstinence is the best aid
To avoid aid
ABSTAIN!!!!

Premium Member Fine Amenities

he was 
a bon vivant
not denying himself
any luxuries in life
did not believe
in abstinence

live to the fullest
was his motto
appreciate
the gifts of life
we will never
pass this way again

when he died
a starving artist
his pockets
were empty
but his heart
overflowed
not one regret

The Great Learning

Stilling avarice with abstinence,
He recovers profound innate wisdom,
Gaining sincerity most genuine,
And a righteous heart of prudence, 

As proper mind exudes propriety,
He harmonizes hearth and household,
And steers his state away from woe,
Proving himself fit for purple dignity.

Indian Brew

You have dissolved me, 
spinning sugar in long brewed cups of Indian tea...
breathing cardamom dust and mint
liquid me, sweet upon your palette, 
no longer holding grounds of abstinence
no longer crystal, glittering under microscopes in glass
but one with the steam of ancient grasses and pods
This is the life.   I'll melt for you any day.

L-E-S-S-O-N-S

L-ove is one of the most enduring things
E-ndurance means abstinence from flings
S-trength requires staying away from the games
S-taying means to be aware of the flames
O-penness is not to be mistaken for invitation
N-ecessity means only to come with affirmation
S-acrifice comes with these words spelled above

*These lessons are my thoughts on staying in love

Absolve us all of anguish
 When appetency goes awry 
The allure of the atrocious 
Can take precedence over the auspicious.
Nought can assuage the anxiety  of  abomination 
Flowing from such appetites
Ancillary to our basest desires.
Saying amen leaves us 
Aghast at our arrogance
Adding to our aggravation
Acquittal comes from abstinence 
And not from avarice.

The Cavern of Sophia

Salvation of hollow-burrow, spaceful for life,
hiding and appearing engaged that day.
Seven Sleepers, unwanted companions,
pardoners, neither demigod-cyborg nor god.
Peaceful in retreat of folding nocturnal-diurnal.
Contemplation bleached the sinners,
restraining lust, abstinence for circular bell tolls.

The Cavern's Sleepers,
Sophia of hibernation,
tapa Barata.

Writers

For change, we write 
In sanity, we write 
In pain, we write 
In praise and glory, we write 
In times of trouble, we write 
In despair, we write 
In loss, we write 
In dilemma, we write 
In abstinence, we write 
In quest, we write 

For the "PEN" 
Heals even the broken,
Saves the captives,
Restores the lost,
Gives hope to illusion,
And strengthens the weak.

Home In January

Back with a SLAP to this British chill
Hard to find the WILL 
Empty purse - can't get much worse! 
Washing basket up to the brim, 
Everyone on social media wishing to be thin 
Unjust when other nations are perishing 
We were tipsily relishing 
We indulged in food and booze
Then flaked out on the sofa for a snooze! 
That we have plenty is not an offence, 
but a sad call now for abstinence.

Diary of a Hot-Blooded Woman

Society sure has a lot to say 
on how middle-aged women should behave. 
Who dares to sanction that fire still alive inside?
In this her fiftieth year, she curses her sex-drive.
For she has prayed for years for someone to love,
Imposed voluntary abstinence to honour the Man above.
Perhaps, she shall marry at sixty-five
Until then, the fight continues for she must thrive.
So on behalf of all hot-blooded women, she scribes.
