A moment for me;
Wrapping around my odd mind,
Forgiving my small failures.

Life In the Chamber

No sinful before the sinner
No comments after the commandments
No back before the benefits
No forward after failures
A girl in the chamber!

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.

What lies between the lines?
mines, rocks, thoughts, ideas, 
dreams, failures, memories, dimes?
A story left unread
A speech left unsaid
A fish alive not dead.

Premium Member Winning And Losing

Shake the hand,
of your failures,
they might be,
somehow 
telling you 
something

hug and kiss,
your triumphs,
the ones with, 
oomph they,
told you 
do something

Might be failures in God's eyes

Through injustice were they

Avowal

how failures
translated poorly from
monumental intentions

how an uneasy kid
sank to your feet
a tenth the man beckoned

how mere lies
are offered to
one so earnestly loved

Trump a Major Distraction

Trump A Major Distraction

Decided Trump is major distraction,
And trying to gain own satisfaction;
Never are sure,
If known cure;
Failures were due to much inaction.

Imperfect

Indented by harsh waves
Injured by cold sharp rocks
Inflicted by failures
Irate at injustice
I come to you naked
Indolent, extinguished
Illuminate me Lord

As the attainments of others never assure one's own success 

So their deafening failures shouldn't hold back one's progress

Premium Member Hindsight

Listen to poem:
Hindsight is foresight's foe
Heralding woe betides
Halting the hoodwinking
Haunting the present tense
Hanging regrets in caches
Hype, hope dashed by failures
Holding you back, abjure!

Evening Reprive

night creeps in slowly silently
envelopes me in darkness like a warm blanket
hiding the brutal reality of the day 
forgiving its failures
like broken promises scattered on my empty soul

Me Grannies Old Fridge

Gone now
to a metals heaven
thrown there back of a truck
machine failures forgiven not
when they stop they go
but just fantasy imagination games my mind

A silliness just watching it going down the road !

The Day of Light

Burn all the fears and failures 
With the bursting crackers;
Fill the world of yours
With the bright new light...
End all the worthless thoughts 
Start newly from the day of light.

EYES


       


eyes always cry together
all misfortunes and sadness equally
but they never set apart

eyes are the perfect couple
they cry together victories and failures
that's why they never separate
