WHY


Why is the question
Most often asked me
I avoid action
To forfeit "To Be"

Desire

I longed for the pleasures
desires sequestered
all that I yearned for I get
but I forfeit my soul
when fire took control
and it burns internally yet

Corset

I cannot fit into my corset.
No matter how much I force it.
As I can't appear stout,
With my rolls hanging out,
My dinner I may have to forfeit.

For Linn's BITE SIZE contest.

Morning Dew

MORNING DEW

Molten sweetness,
I implore you
to forfeit all else
for I will not stop aching
until you become the thump
to my heart,
together travelling through ages,
forever cuffed.
Form: Verse

Daughterless

To have a daughter Is such a joy Unless she is not yours And seems to hate your guts. Attitude and haughtier Excuses and ploys A canoe without oars Lies forfeit trust.

Premium Member Wakening Grooves

In wakening grooves
When you try and control it
All falls apart
When you forfeit control
All is bliss
In wakening grooves
Do what you love
Dew it as often as possible
In wakening grooves.

Dryland

Dryland
Curse of nature?
No no i dont think so.. 
Surely we forfeit nature. 
Mirrage is fooling us as like water. 
Snake is fooling us as like rope. 
But we cant fool nature. 
Nature fools by

Is there anything to forfeit for betray
Is it all what you really want to say

Inspiration

Not from earthly wells Spiritual fountain erupts Magnitude limitless Bow the head a bit The heavens cry healing, you Call for a forfeit Don't give up love It bleeds beauty through heavy stones Times three it shall bless

Premium Member Sucker Fish

marvelous day
                               inside;

pollinating coronavirus
somewhere outdoors

nose smudges on my reflection,
glass of Springtime refection

lipstick on window — sucker fish;
I forfeit a sunny payday

split occurred between the 
two souls

If

If I were to say to you:
That your night is mine
A billion stars overhead
Lead me to your time
A Universe that leads nowhere
Except to you
Walking alone
Freedom in the abyss
Except with you
I forfeit my indifference
I care

MONEY
Sometimes I think I can solve the problem of the money
But it turns out it's just false promises of monkey
Are you going to forfeit the best of valley
Nothing can change our commitment to the alley

The Cursed Chest

Beware, ye fools, who open this chest.

Beware, ye fools, of what happens next.


Open this chest and you invite strife.

Beware, ye fools, you'll forfeit your life.


Open this chest and death you invite.

Beware, ye fools, you won't last the night.

Love Game

Forever tease me
Make me play this
Game keenly
Don't let me win
Or forfeit this riddle
I want to be crazy
And perplexed with
Your next move
I want to writhe
In anguish at how
You play my game 
Don't make it easy
Be my worthy
Opponent in this
Love game

Premium Member Existential Thoughts

amazement
     appears
     to outlive
the commonplace
     to exhaust
     in the pre-shock
of existence:
yes,a forfeit
      to float
      unchanged,
discreet
&
sincere
if
    distilled
becomes
a needless
scarcity
'til
swamped again
by
excess

MOMENTS 11  DECAY


A dream comes true
Not just for you
Only see true


Round these odd grounds
Lost can be found
On hollow grounds


Time owns all tricks
Burn your own wick
To forfeit tricks

Reach

REACH
There are always something that we can't reach
Then there is nothing we can always preach
Time and time again, they pretend to be the beautiful peach
I don't understand why we have to forfeit our students to teach

Never Forget

Never forget those
Who was there for you
When no one else was.

The mind may forget
But not the heartache
Only grave regret.

Don't forget good deeds
They're good investment
They're like good seeds.

Love never forget
Whether bad or good
Life's part not forfeit.

Premium Member I beg death an honor

"Forgiveness knows naught the hour to forfeit," ... Ere my time on this field of honor, be this my last decree, for within my final breath, I say to the Eastern Wind who hails through the realm ... I wish you were dead and placed on top me~embrace as friends forever

Premium Member A Promiscuous Rabbit

There once was a promiscuous rabbit
For whom sex was a thrice-a-day habit
   He'd forfeit his soul
   Going down the hole
To pay the rent, he had to cohabit

Iron Butterfly

Isn’t time cruel
Never stable or forgiving
When you’d forfeit everything
Just to feel something

When it’s all broken
And you have no more tears to cry
When all you have is false hope
And it seems you might survive
You’re fooling yourself
You’re nothing more than an iron butterfly
