 good to be bold

you must speak
draw  a line  where you fold
DON'T SELL YOUR SOUL...

I draw a line 
the line draws me
to heaven

I draw a hole
The hole pulls me 
to hell

line in circle
circle on line
ecstasy...

the nothingness from which the universe was created
I am an Architect
and she is the zero from which I draw my line....

but unfortunately he has gone blind.
Since last night, it was dark,
couldn't draw the line between the click and the last spark....

waiting until someone has gone too far
to say the limit was there
repeats toxic patterns

So what silly notion has taken over today?
My brain works independently I don't have a say
I do draw the line
And start to whine
When my brain complains it's underpaid...

Deep down I think you know -
This is where I draw the line -
So I won’t be long I promise -
But feel free to chop or change -
Something, anything about this -
But are you sure you’re ready?...

Where do we draw the line, it should be clear
Acts of violence are signs of madness it appears
Where are we heading
Our fabric is shredding
Can we save our souls, overcome our fears...

Walk the Line
Draw a line under it
On a Charity Fun Run
As penance 
For crossing the line's 
So Many Time's 
You stopped counting 
How many pairs of shoes it took
To look before crossing 
Dangerous Paths...

When the pain is intense 
All I feel is just the sense
That it will never end
So I beg of you, good friend

Add your prayers to mine
Ask Him to draw a line
Pain is not allowed to exceed
For I of His compassion do read....

Stand of Geogia elegant pines
On little six acres 'tis mine
Saved from woodman's sharp ax

Once_ twice as thick, here draw the line
Other life's problems should've been asinine
Let this not be climax



(Using asinine here to mean
stubborn or obstinate like a mule)...

This constructed concurrency
Was forced by his magical hands
To draw a line through a point
Where it wasn’t meant to pass
A new concept brings us full circle
And the lines disintegrate
Within my feeble grip
This game of geometry proves
That I am asymmetrical...

Reality falls in beads of sweat
I can't make my heart align with my head
No compromise will be enough
To bring out the best in both of us 
Someone had to draw the line
Amongst the chaos of warning signs 
But even the bravest soldier falls
Every act has its curtain call....

I'm sorry to say that I'm falling apart.
I can't think clearly and there's a pain in my heart.
Too many secrets, too much time.
I'm sorry to say this is where I draw the line.
I'm gone forever, gone too soon. 
The memories of how I used to be, lasting forever, like the moon....

draw the line, make it deep
separate the fiction from the facts
divide the longing and the yearning
from your heart's desire

draw the line, make it clearer
let the sun dissipate the fog
watch the shroud fall to your feet
or forever hide in shadow

as love passes you by...

some day
some time
somewhere
in the state
of Maine

two surveyors
who knew not
that they were
poets because
they were 

drunk
and so thunk
in a staggered line
this is yours and this
mine 

Canadian
Maine again
was Canadian
now Maine again
a toast: draw the line...

Time slows, but not to a stop,
all the time we watch the clock,
while talking, a laugh, then brief pause,
then at last we find the cause,
when smiles fade and lips draw a line,
a chance appears to stop the time,
and in this time and chance we take,
the hammer falls and clocks we break....

Being extremley the opposite of slavery
Freedom, also takes effort and bravery
Being in honour together; is prequsite'
Selflesness in support is a requsite
Draw your line in the sand 
share ideas take your stand!
Upholding  your rights, 
Cannot now; be 'left' to
Those 'old' davos-ites.!

The story of your life

Is just the same as mine

We may be born in different dates

Different strokes we draw in line

Different hues and colors we paint

Persons of strange worlds mates

Personas not molded as saint

But blooms and ends in a story

  on the same road of life's fates....

Your head next to mine
your hand held tight
I see you like that
almost every night

The morning comes
and I'm alone
in my wonderful
but empty home

I see your face
so close to mine
it's getting harder 
to draw the line

Fantasy and dreams
draw me in deep
it's only reality 
that makes me weep...
