     Feeling nostalgic
     for the simplicity
     of childhood;
     before innocence rubs off
     and defines us.

dying grandfather
child of hot rods and whiskey
unsure bellowing at nurses
defines a life of loudness,
cargiving and alcoholism

Tomato Tomatto

The fine line
between
charisma
and narcissism
Defines the border
separating
 magic
— from farce

Premium Member What Defines Me

So what
Defines me
Is it the stories
Or poetry
Is it my sheer
Perseverance
And finishing touch
It took so long
For me to master such

What Defines You

Your failures don’t define you
Nor do your achievements
What defines you
Is the way you treat someone
Who can’t give you anything
In return.

A job defines bits of our life
Though it often causes us strife
We’ll find a new fit
If we choose to quit
And not slit our wrists with a knife

You's and Me's

It’s not  “I’ll do what I can”,
That defines for women, her man
   Nor his strength
   Nor hair length.
It’s the “you’s” ... not me’s” ... of his plan

my soul was born to it
yet it seeks 
from it
Its wrinkles
makes the stretch marks 
of my color
legitimate
fidelity defines
what our clasp
seals...

smiling face sparkles. 
Life’s happy juncture
sequined sheen defines.

Obstacles

Seasons come and go
Water travels around rocks
One must learn the same


Rough currents take shape
A stream defines its own path
A fish swims with hope

Big and Little Love

Why should love be big, when love can be so small?  The saying itself means big things, but yet it’s small and simple.  These three little words defines our two personalities.

Where Love Should Be

It's not the granite 
Nor the words upon it
What lies below
Or behind it
That defines
But, an emptiness
Of this life
Where love should be

Premium Member To Love

I won't be confused by words
     from ones with no knowledge 
     of the kindness in your heart
     or the softness in your smile.
          Love defines itself...

"no Sense But Sound Good"

away beyond crossfire defines eternity
fading grace had indentified justice
kind lovers make noise over piano que
restless saviors trust unopposed visitors

A Deviating Sound

Exception defines nothing
In wartime, is it not?

It is only the softer sound
Of a poem
The laughter of children...
Stories of old aged buddies...

A Deviating sound
From the norm.

	poetry defines me
          i like a well-turned rhyme
        impatient, the plot eludes me
          sense, nonsense, matters not
             ~ elephants, too, bang their pots

Fortune defines family.

Always there like anchors are

Mother's and fathers

Instilling the meaning of life.

Love, close up and personal,

Yielding a never dying harvest.

Forever As One

The Taiji of life
may it ever be so
Driving the artist
and poet who know
The Yin and the Yang
to marry sublime
Truth as their offspring
—whose beauty defines
