Botanical Duet

Nature knows that smell forbids.
Aphids avoid marigolds.
Match for a reflex magnet
in your berry patch.

Woe Is Me

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

No One Is Ever As Happy As Kids


No one is ever as happy as kids:
In such loving ways that make easy bids
Fall in places without hate;
An insight forceful wrongs bait, 
Leading astray true love Satan forbids.

In Memory Of Rod Serling

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

The Prisioner and the Jailer

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.

Summer; Of Those Old Bawdy Postcards

Known through every heart's
Wild urge and fun side;
Forbids nothing, including
Desire to escape

What Summer, especially 
Along its sea coasts
Reveals, laying us half stripped
About its nature
If coarse, is one glad to cure.
Laughing at our shape!

For ignorance

Forward into the light of acceptance

Premium Member Sin

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

In Search Of A Soulmate

He who chased bright wings
On through what forbids
Time's own fenced off bounds, nightly
As unseen leaps o'er.

No less the itchy
That child's venturing
To kiss down what, now dream- formed
Floats for a dream-face.
Yond this present, as Fate's place.
Swirls with soul's rapport.

Interlude That Did Include To Collude

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.

Wrong Emotions

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.

The Topless Autumn

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.

End Game

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

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

Pieces of Heart

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.

The Burden Of Indecision

The weight of indecision
Is a force so many in the world can bear,
Yet one that crushes me,
Gnawing away at my fractured sanity.
There's two paths, which one shall we trek?
There's a third choice but the Bible forbids it
My brittle spine can only endure so much.
Make haste with your decision, author,
Before the pillars of love collapse,
Before your lover finds a suitor with a steadfast spine

Premium Member Clarence Thomas's way of interpreting the Constitution

The Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
prohibits cruel AND unusual punishment.
It does not prohibit cruel punishment.
It does not prohibit unusual punishment.
It only forbids cruel AND unusual punishment.
Therefore, cruel punishment is totally constitutional.
So, too, is unusual punishment.
When I say this, some of my liberals friends are in total astonishment.

Poem Containing Danger

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.

Esmeralda 1969

I met her
on the boardwalk ramp
and said ...
“You Have Nice Eyes”

The Gypsy Lady
fixed her gaze
my hand in hers
replied ...

“White hates black
and black hates white
their fear right now
forbids

“Division preys
to rule the land
fate drifting
on the skids

“But just remember
this one thing
if we are
to survive

“Coffee colored kids
will reign
to save our souls
— demise”

Roger Carvis

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.

Heart of My Sky

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
