Feeling Needy
Misty gray morning
Casting gloom on
My day dreams...
Cease and desist,
I'm in need of a rainbow!

Trump a Priest
Trump A Priest

Trump apparently said he was a priest,
Should cease and desist being the least;
Women adored;
Bible ignored;
On opponents would feast being a beast.

Want To Propose Horn Limerick

This is a thing I must insist
Each and every point Trump missed
Much bologna he fed
And down path us has led
All of this should cease and desist.

Admit Hate Crimes Exist and Persist
Hate Crimes Exist

We must admit that hate crimes do exist; 
Are always there and continue to persist; 
Others harming, 
Never charming, 
And we should cause to cease and desist.

Premium Member Witch Hunting
Witch hunting is back
arising from paranoia
Let love be unabated
delusion is no stigma

Each soul has its path
we desist from judging
Our heart light with joy
in bliss pulse enlivening

Premium Member Tale of Two Slopes
If the climb be arduous
  the peak hidden in mist
He who attempts it
  may cease and desist

Yet if the slope seem gentle
  the mountain but a hill
Beseech Heavenly protection 
   for any climber unskilled...

Trump Actions Cease and Desist Horn Limerick

This is what I have to insist
Each and every point Trump missed
To us bologna feed
Down path everyone led
His actions should cease and desist.

Hope Hillary gets better.

Momentary
momentary 
state of 
negative 
self-talk 
undermining 
growth
trying to 
regain it's
rain within 
the mind
cease and 
desist cut 
of at the pass
close the gates 
do not allow
the motivational 
sucking zombies 
through the barricade...

A Name On a List
a registered owner
a name on a list
each time I take aim
or pop in the clip
I'm waiting for the clatter
as they break down my door
after circumventing 
our second amendment
surrender your firearm
your cache of ammo
decease and desist
this awesome pleasure...

Chateau De La Gardine
Flourished, the vintage affection of elegant talent
drizzled lightly in the exploration of a drowning yacht, 
 resurfaced, only through amiable bailing, 
continual, until the waves desist, 
the ocean arid, 
then lingers, 
submerged in the dip of the shoreline....

quiet
cease and desist
silenceo
off with his head
now
as i was saying
what
is there something wrong with you
stop
off with her head too
alright
never a wrong
if
you can just shut up
recess
is two minutes from now
or
you all stay in

to the teachers lounge

Political Unrest
The people declaring their voice, as they protest
Induring the ultimate test
The police attack and the people scatter
Hardly anyone says "What is the matter?"

Facing dire consequences, the citizens persist
Human rights in the balance and worth the risk
Perhaps a change will come and abuses will desist...

In Search of the Light We Should Never Desist
This lost light,
lost is not...
must be in some
corner of the universe,
without being able to show off...
We need to search it,
snatch it with tongs
patience,
with stoic hope
we need to rescue her,
even if it is asleep
at the bottom of the deepest pit... !
 Cave ne cadas... ! 
 We should never desist.. !...

The Lunatic
By and by
the night does wry
all whilst I lay in bed

low they go
the voices know
I cannot stand their stead

Clutching air
In vast despair
to rid me of this beast 

fight with blood
defeat the flood
of malice, hate, and yeast

lunatic
be realistic
desist, wave your white flag

I won't give
I cannot live
a life of scrap and rag...

Equis a Ene a Equis
A leisure time consumes my mind,
Such benevolence, quite as kind
My coloured friends; comrades to find
Chemicals in my brain to bind
Cease, desist- I can't resist!
Please, give them all to me!
Without their Peace, I can't exist-
Thank you God; they set me free

Capulate
Caught, 
Sinking in lies, suffocating in life 
All a trap by a thought meant to wreak 
Meant to bring awe in those who felt blind
Hope in those who felt lost to despair
A fighting chance to those who were about to desist
But I'm caught, caught trying not succeeding 
Caught going but not arriving
Life is now my captor
And despair is now my home....

Final Say
Of everybody who walks the earth
I'm the only one who really knows me
 
There are lies and implications
Being spread as truth
This verse is to say
 Cease and desist
Or be reported as
ABUSE

I desire only a man.
That's always been 
And always will be
I agree with the scripture
Man and wife become one

Now I consider this matter
Settled once for all time...

Premium Member Midnight Presents

Midnight presents, words and peace
Unwrapped in process, to release
Feeling sense of infinity
Embracing welcomed trinity
Let me speak; love, share to present
All the years of time I have spent,
Proving things that are in our midst
Crucial things, we must desist
Midnight presents, arrive to show
A choice of treasures to let go

Frost
Painfully clear
a moment etched in frost
shadow encircled here
as time itself was lost

So frigid these waters
glacial in reflection
memory worn in tatters
beyond hope of resurection

Timid spirits lie
hanging in the mist
languishing under pale sky
refusing to desist

Haunting emotions set in
reminding me of love lost
these tapestries become unwoven
here amidst the chilling frost...

Please Say It Ain'T So
We find you guilty
Of making a mockery
Out of poetry

(You talking to me)

And must insist
You cease and desist
In your writing of this

(Insanity)

You must take to heart
That this is an art
Not some shopping cart

(To fill your needs)

Take it back to the top
Before it all got
More crazy than not

(Could you please)

Here's a list of demands
By a show of hands
Come back to dry land

(For your lobotomy)...
