Some Viruses

No cure found coldness 
Corona one more illness

we been up  stuff
times ruff
hand cuff
beating
not defeating
now we're back on track
new road to our gols

Through all of the tears. 
Defeating all fears 
Til life from me veers
Belonging to only you my dear. 

So drink with me. Cheers.

If someone bothers you with meanness
dance away
with a smile on your face
or skip

If you run away
they will feel powerful

If you crawl away
they will rejoice

Premium Member Don’t stop trying

Underdogs are today’s true heroes
defeating impossible odds they surpass wild expectations
~ proof dreams do come true

Opposites

The emptiness can be suffocating.
The happiness can be depressing.
The victory can be defeating.
The longing can be fulfilling.
You ask me if life is ironic?
Is it ever.

Popeye the Sailor Man
eats lots of spinach straight from the can.
Then he's strong to the finish, defeating bad guys.
He's a hero in smitten girlfriend Olive Oyl's eyes.

Past Is Past

My mind has been broken
My heart has been torn
I have been used
But now am reborn
I have moved on
Leaving the past in the past
Defeating those ghosts
I have peace at last

Seems to

Challenge the

Unquestioned

Clutch of

Separation..

Spontaneity

Defeating the

Desperate grasp

Of time.. 

It's comic and

Cosmic...????

Trump and Rod

Trump and Rod

Trump and many others have trod
While they were in search of a rod
So with competitors could be beating
Instead of it being self-defeating
Prefers women who clothes off shod.

Crowing Achievement

Ground fenced becomes a fall garden
deterring squirrels' and rabbits' play.
Guard the soil that winter will harden
defeating Indiana clay.
Gilded tulips (unsightly bulbs' pardon)
deserve a diadem come May.

Free From Pneumonia

You tried to take me out but I overcame you

I'm still defeating you and I will win

Because I am God's child 

God will not let me lose 

I believe in the power of victory 

I can't be stopped and I won't be stopped

Thank You Lord.

A Dark Flower

Only in the night a dark flower in bloom
A rare occasion only on a blue moon
Finding that it's just begun
A low creature found beneath the sun
For siblings I can't forgive
Through old injuries I live
Demons I think I'm defeating
Sometimes a goodbye is a new greeting

We Lucky Few

We who wore the blue
Who calmly stood hardy too
Answering the call when needed
Defeating evil when exceeded

We lucky few of sisters and brothers
Who leant a shoulder for each other 
A band of friends each being true
As others wish they’d been with us too.

The Beauty of Pain

I listen for a sound 
And I hear tear drops of clouds
As they water dry grounds

I see sproutings of green grow
Like the river run it flows 
And as the golden sun it glows

From the soil of tears
A planting appears
Defeating the fears to make all hear
Pain is not vain, it's beauty is gain.
Form: Rhyme

Eclipse

Touched by you, I am
Eclipsed:

Wanton, we gather superficially at the
Center of warm flesh,
Decoding one another's fractured forms.

I feel, for all purposes, in a 
Self-defeating sense, Desire
Of tidal proportions, an Oceanic
Onrush, only to be drowned in.

Premium Member An Awaken Dream

A dream has come to life
With defiance 
to the compelling world
Strutting into plain and places 
stalking courage and resolve   
Befriending friends and foes
Defeating fiends then men
Huffing while toppling the night
romancing faith
just to oust fate 
aligning the sun 
to set tomorrow
and always

The Buffeting of the Buffet

The feast was colossal; I’m not really grumbling.
I’m just feeling docile, except for the rumbling.
To put it it discreetly (I could be succincter):
I fear it’s completely defeating my sphincter.
