Nature knows that smell forbids.
Aphids avoid marigolds.
Match for a reflex magnet

Woe is me, Woe is me
The rafter in my own eye
forbids me to speak of 
the redwood tree in yours
From this pain, there is no release
suffer I must, in total silence
Woe is me, Woe is me...

We had visitors for a Momma's Day celebration
Look forward to Poppa's Day with great anticipation
To see our kids
Distance forbids
Regular visits are impossible so instead frustration...

Crossing over
into the realm 
of non-description
reference and paradigm
sleep alone

Borders falling inward
upon themselves
leaving only what
the mind forgoes
—and the soul forbids

I taught my kids to teach their kids
be equal, less complication
don't call me Gramps, heaven forbids
that's called age discrimination.

True, truth can be heard from mouth of babes
Reason why, want them at young age
Know they, them their own true sage
Yet, sent signal meant rage
Forbids them turn page
War with self, wage
Dark light plague

the jailor and the prisioner
the addicted and the addict
the enabler and the addict
daughter chooses a crackhead husband
who forbids her to see her family
he beats her
and she stays
because
when he's sober he's great.
I've seen him
He's satan....

Walk

briskly

through the dark.

For ignorance

forbids fearful feet from facing forward.

Forward into the light of acceptance

Let me tell about a snowman, Ole Frosty
He needs a facelift that's way too costly
Coal eyes are covered by saggy eyelids 
And a dimple chin reaches his forbids

Sin is an offense against Eternal God
Sin is a thought
 A word
 An action
Contrary to the law of Eternal God
Sin therefore is the will to sustain or follow after what justice forbids
From which the will is free to abstain

Interlude That Did Include To Collude

This is all we hear about on MSNBC.

While we were in middle of an interlude,
Things apparently are properly viewed,
What he did,
God forbids;
Trump can have the ability to collude.

Jim Horn

To either conclude or not to 
conclude that Trump did collude
Before starting a family feud,
Which we know coud be skewed....

I cry all 
The time, 
And knowing 
I shouldn't do it 
As an adult, 
It tears me apart. 

I can't get mad 
At everything 
Like I do now.
Knowing that if, 
I snap at others later, 
It hurts me. 

Showing my emotions, 
It seems the future 
As an adult 
Forbids it. 
Seeing we all act alike, 
Why?

For the When doing wrong feels so write poetry contest....

I
The topless tress became completely nude
As if they felt upcoming autumn’s mood 

Cold sunny autumn sky reflected me
Awakening the raven of reality

II  
Autumn topless tress
Before the winter’s freeze

A beggar at the Parliament 
My heart forbids me: no lament.

Abandoned Meus square
Forgotten. Unaware

Rue de Commerce over here
Commerce is everywhere....

False Dawn's ribbon invades the night
Fear forbids to close my weary eyes 
Drift off, away, never more to rise
What's the point of hanging on?
Should I give in, Let be done?
Riddled body... Lying quiet
I have said my farewells
A lonely tolling of Bells
Kind Spirits implore
Calm acceptance
Of Time called 
To embrace
A new life
With our
Maker
From
Now
On

The 15th Law of Power 
Forbids mercy during an attack
For the enemy who's life is spared
Is the one who lives to fire back

So if you've aspirations
To take the crown off of my head
You had better keep that trigger squeezed
Until you're damn sure that I'm dead

If you are not strong enough 
To go in for the kill
You can make a bet on your last dime
That when I rise again, I will...

Oh, darling!
Look what you did,
To trust you again,
My heart forbids.

My blood can neglect,
These nerves can bear.
But tell me, were you been paid,
To be my betrayer?

Left the pieces of my heart,
On the street you walk unshod,
Giving warmth by your feet,
On the tears I shed.

Wild fetishes of yours,
With my sweet fantasies,
Could never fine-tuned.
Might be the reason for our RUIN....

Poem Containing Danger

Stayed up, and I did think all night;
If Tomino poem, you were to recite,
Can create rage,
Read page to page,
Out loud and total disaster will invite


Tomino is said to be part of a Japanese 
urban legend. A certain poem may kill 
anyone who will say it out loud. God 
forbids you saying things out loud. 
Read Tomino's Hell out loud and 
disaster will likely strike you.

R-eal lover of art and literature 
O-ver the years, that creates
G-enuine and original ideas 
E-xpressed through highly dedicated works 
R-evering the value of writing as a form of expression.

C-onstantly promoting originality and forbids 
A-ny kind of vicious imitation.
R-everberating the spirit of 
V-aluing the sanctity of the 
I-deas of others, so real 
S-elf esteem and sense of ownership will be achieved.

The sun
My hope
My faith
The sun

It warms my face
Rids of the cold
It brings good
Forbids evil

Optimistic
Shining so bright
Up high above my head
Showing me my life path

The rays beating down
In a friendly way
Cradling us all
It's children

A lesson
It teaches us
To never stop shining
In the darkest hours of life

Never ever stop fighting
If what you are,
Is worth it
Shine

The sun
The heart of the sky
The heart of all hope
The sun...

Children ask so many questions.
Often enough, children face hard lessons.
They learn that people lie.
They learn that sometimes a part of your family doesn't love you.
Those children grow up so insecure.
They are never for sure.
They doubt mostly themselves.
They often enough doubt everyone else.
They learn that society can be so cruel to kids.
For them to belong, the world forbids.
Everyone warns them to not talk to strangers.
Adults never realize they pose the exact same dangers....
