Her husband would bleat
So how do we eat

And I'm willing to bet my best shirt on

Such a terrible state
That the planet will go for a burton

Those whom can rate each day "well spent"
Will elevate their heart's content
Where willful waste bears no excuse
There's time to change, but none to lose

Three Words

I LOVE YOU
The words jump off the page
Eight simple letters
Insecurity fears the most
Search within your soul
Embrace the love that waits
Those that lose the most
Are those who hesitate

Women

© Ben Burton 8/2015

I'm happy to think that women are different
I'm elated to feel they are nothing like men
Not only in glorious, physical variance
But loving, protective and, well... mother hens

Romantic Charm in 4 Lines - LOVE STORY "When your eyes look into mine I see a Love Story dancing in perfect time My reflection holding yours Twin mirrors golden keys that open hearts’ doors" (Lovejoy-Burton/Feb 2018)

Spring

Spring is in the air fall now in the past
Pink and white blossom daisy’s don the grass
Reeds in the pond sound of water flow
Ignites all the senses sun stunning glow
Nesting in the trees the birds are finally home
Garden full of life wonderful place to stroll

Sky

Silk black sky it’s beauty we fear
It’s ever so close its drawing near
Cloaking our body caressing our skin
Hard to breath air so thin
Restless eye long to sleep
Slip slip away into the deep
With thoughts and dreams
You drift away awake to start a brand new day

Overwhelmed

Overwhelmed
© Ben Burton 7-3-2015

Oh, lucky they not overwhelmed
Wherein each day more grief be found
Yet, can compartmentalize
And tame the sorrow, not as 'why'
But know the answers, too, will come
As surely as He will return
To reign above this earthly realm
That none again be overwhelmed

Domestic

You take I give
You speak I listen
You call I answer
Your bad am good
Your drunk am dry
You lunge I hide
You laugh I cry  
You hurt I bleed
You hit I plead
Your fist my face
You stay I leave
You crawl I grieve  
Your sorry am not
Your sad am fine
Your loss not mine

Bob Dylan

Born to sing to write to share
Open arms give courage no despair
Beautiful lyrics he shares with us all

Dance with joy when his words start to flow
Yearning for peace in this dark time
Listen carefully to music and rhyme 
A man so young raised his voice
Nations wised up we sang we rejoiced

Helen

Helen

A plane devoid of noises
Within a darkened cave
No words of consolation
Assuage the rants and raves

Awareness unattended
Has obfuscated will
But fluid through the fingers
Puts ink into the quill

She roars across forever
Four corners of the earth
The Alabama legend
Has made their voices heard

Premium Member Minefield


"Minefield"


My mind's a minefield. 
To traverse it and make it out in one piece is a victory I'm trying to avoid. 
Let me load my paint gun with more colour. 
Reloading artillery now.
