Premium Member Everything to lose

Victimized on whole other level.
Wrongfully accused: defends her name her honor.
So much on the line.

On her guard she defends her space
Cautiously she rebuilds her strength

War, As I See It

Pride, exalting man
Way, way above
Feigns no such relationship with
Brotherly love
Whose lookout, through him
Defends in fear
But sets off this bad reaction:
Hell's truth makes clear.

Congress Defend Elections

Congress Defends Elections

Congress is designed to defend our election,
Then those who from will have a selection;
They are sure;
System did endure,
And if violations they did make a detection.

The Incredible Ruck

His eyes get bloodshot!
Fight engorges his body!
He roars and defends!

Enter his red zone
To hurt or help... be dismayed!
His attack strengthens!

He pays back double!
He avenges his soul's sake!
He cools down in days.

Premium Member Today's Debate On Illegals

A Texas teacher defends U.S. law
   Igniting social media's buzz-saw
Some claims she's racist and mean
   Others toward patriotism lean

   One thing for sure
      I can state
   You open your mouth
      ~ You tempt fate

Violent Bears

Violent Bears

Two bears fight on the Kenai
Horrible violence-
But look closely at the one,
She defends her cub
Whilst the other seeks to eat it.
Are they equally to blame for the violence?

There are indeed,
two sides to every story.

Premium Member On Valentines Day

embraced in wonder
sparse snow hugs the bare branches...
nature defends life.

Oh the sun and moon
does create the silhouettes...
light in the shadows.

Come on hold me
with your magic touch
create heaven on earth?

A Soldier Boy's Flag

Bright curious eyes…
He watches it parade past

With soft morning words…
He promises his faithfulness

Standing straight and tall…
He renews his oath with a salute

With a shoulder slung rifle…
He defends and protects it

Now adorning his casket…
He has given his life for it

Target

In a football pitch,
Where player defends each other,
Trying to win
And admit fouls,
A goal is everyone’s target.
In our daily practice,
Achievement is all success,
A person commits crime,
When he founds that
His opponent is strong
Or clever than him.
A person’s defeat is 
A person‘s effort.

A Modest Mantra

Love gently, love forever,
that you may be truly alone never.

Stand firm, stand for something, stand true,
that the one falling should never be you.

Fight strong, fight as one who defends,
that you may never lose your friends.

Live as yourself, live with virtue nigh,
that you may, in legacy, never die.

Rose

"A thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom," 
Chinese proverb
-------------------------------------------------
alternate leaves, serrated margin
prickles all along, sickle like hooks
green with envy of blooming flower
stem, peduncle, sepal watch over
breath of gods, sent sample of heaven

Mother

She sings me to sleep, she cleans my fears, she wipes my tears, she comforts my sorrows, she brings laughter to my crying, she understands my anger, she defends my arguments, she listens to my complaining, she sows together my heartbreaks, she supports my ideas, she loves me no matter what, and I love her with all my heart.

Sacrifice

Tattered is her hair

Scars cover thy skin

Representing
Each of her sins

Not hers alone
But others as well

Too long this has been

Herself, she
No longer defends


All throughout
These dark years
Never has anyone
Ever bothered to hear
Of her sacrifices in life
So others could go on
Only written
In this non-musical song

Rosie and Me

No longer my girlfriend,
Always my best friend,
She takes care of me,
She pays my bills,
Answers my mail,
Defends me as if I were one of her cubs,
She is a force to be dealt with,
When she takes off her gloves,
I return what I can,
like a car or a van,
I keep her on the road,
She's my soulmate, I know
Together in time we'll always go.

Cave of our heart Yearning ascends whilst grace descends Both leaping forward to embrace It’s a soul search that love defends Empowered by God’s sublime grace Cave of our heart’s the meeting place Where boundaries blur and will bends There remain no puzzles to lace Bliss enabled, our seeking ends 15-May-2022

A Short Break For This Message

A champion is coming, in a chariot of fire;
Shooting arrows from a bow;
Redemption will transpire.
   He defends against all Tierney, with truths that can’t be broken
   Then He’ll ask you come to me;
   For no truer words are spoken.
Pray tell you don’t resist, you’ll regret it in the end
And with out the champion on your side;
You can never win.

feelings die
tears dry
no matter
still do we cry
not upset
no regret
wonder why
still eyes are wet
broken chain
forgotten pain
long set
sill makes them rain
moments flee
desires free
filled again
the silent sea
strong defends
heart mends 
yet the 
long held patience ends
moved whatsoever 
forced endeavor
yet stagnant 
for ever and ever

What Is Love

What Is Love?

Is love a harmonic heaven or haunting hell on this quest I daily dwell?
A benevolent blessing or perhaps an empty shell of a bewitching spell

A candlestick lit at both ends, stuck in the middle as my love pretends
A burning wick of my devotion defends the poison inside me descends.

ALCOHOL

Alcohol, sip it
Don't drink to stupor
If you can control it
It merry  you
When it takes over you
It disgrace you.

Some say it consume you
Others  it destroys  liver and lungs
Many says it liberate them from pains
We all defends our habits
Then condemn our poison.

Like a old talk
One man food 
Another's man poison
What qualities one
Disqualify another
Drink responsibly.
