i wanted it all
yet i couldn't let go
to grasp the future
of my dreams
there within my reach

Why am I the one 
To do everything I can,
Everything for you,
But just can't bring myself to...?
I just want to be with you.

MY

My face, a wrinkle deep,
My past, a messy choice,
My present, conflicting options,
Yet, I'm full of desire for a beauty queen.

Affliction

They were conflicted. 

About my affliction. 

There is no cure, they decided. 

But a remedy. 

That they will inflict upon me.

Her

she was as confused 
as she was conflicted 
she was as scared 
as she was obsessed 
she needed more
she needed her 
she was truly in love


waiting for the i love you

squandered time and wasted breaths 
conflicted feelings soothed with a kiss
round and round and round again  
i think the problem is that i love him

Conflict

I miss you and I don't 
at the same time
I don't know how I feel
inside
my heart is hurt
so is my pride
I'm so conflicted
in my mind.

impossible obedience required as she melted with reluctance in familiar mystery a lonely splendor broken by bewildered whispers and weak hearts unite Lay

Cages Trump Will Rattle

Cages Trump Will Rattle

Have been conflicted by fighting a battle,
After all our cages Trump still does rattle;
Like little kid,
Who flipped lid,
And he like telling lies and on us will tattle.

Premium Member Insecurities Retained

diminished doubting
in the shadows of her mind
conflicted but fully blown
softly kicking self
for holding ideas back
insecurities retained

Premium Member He Decides to Stay Addicted

Pink opiate at breakfast
Two blues at lunch
A tiny green pill at break
Druggie? Just a hunch

Easily addicted
His choices now conflicted
The highs are great, the lows not so bad
He decides to stay addicted, my cousin Chad

Not To Reason Why

Accounting
for madness 
A conflict 
in terms

The devils
own details
In secrets
unlearned

What stays
ill conflicted
Stays
misunderstood

No rhyme 
and no reason
When bad
— trumps the good

Dreams

beautiful desire
set on fire
one way dreams
not what it seems
conflicted confusion
untangled in lies
lieing deep down
burning insides
imagination 
determination
dare to dream
being pulle at the seams
place someone elses smile
pull you through the extra miles

Premium Member The Lollipop Quintet Prediction

The lollipop quintet is coming after dinner my six-year-old predicted.
I was slow to believe, I am not all- knowing like him, so feeling conflicted. 
This quintet was at the door singing their lungs out at a quarter to seven. 
I stared at my son, wonder what other talents he had gotten from heaven.

Premium Member Poetry Soup Addiction

Dear lord I'm addicted
All my morals are conflicted
The necessities been evicted
I ought to be convicted
And I should be restricted
As it was depicted
Some would say predicted
Once I became subscripted
That I'd soon be afflicted
And definitely unrestricted
It can't be contradicted
'cause to poetry I'm addicted

Premium Member Bipolar Normalcy

crazy sanity
excited placidness
terrible wonderfulness
enthusiastically down

mountainous nothingness
unexpected anticipations
insanely normal
conscientiously uncaring

empathetic bullying
horrible kindnesses
guilty innocence
joyful depression

bipolar normalcy
conflicted understandings
crawling highs
maniacal lows

A Fleeting Memory

'A fleeting memory'
There's a ghost in my room. It looks familiar. It's trying to tell me something, but no noise is heard. It starts to flicker. I feel conflicted emotions. I try to hug her. But she fades. Now I'm lost, searching for meaning, a reason to live, A reason not to die. After I lost it all.

Self-conflicted

I'm so conflicted,
I can't find my way back home.

I've been missing,
I tried to save myself again.

I've been wishing,
A star would find this hole in me.

My heart keeps skipping,
down the road to a loathsome beat.

I keep slipping,
I'm so high I've lost my feet.

The words their all missing,
from everything I wanted to say.

I'm so conflicted

Premium Member Conflicted Thinking

Thinking about things that are out of our control is a complete waste of energy
and serves only to possibly create within us all emotional, conflicting enemies,
but at one time fire was considered beyond our control in our distant, primitive ancestry.
If one had not once been, thinking about that uncontrollable fire thing,
I wonder how life today would presently be?

Premium Member A Retrospective

bemusement
      mismatched
     in a backward glance
the worst if times
     demystified
          in transition
        s focal point
magnified in spritual images

perceptions of sincerity
     of
        freewheeling precepts
uniquely
       connected
then
    apopriated
in
   glimpses of the beyond
once conflicted
       now
           embraced

Reconnected

Reconnected

We have finally reconnected.
All those years lost, love was affected
Now in the present, we can forget some of the past
And continue what we had, finally at last
Waiting all those years, love has been conflicted
But by God's grace reconnection was predicted
It was worth the wait and I know this is true
Because nothing is better then being back with you
