WHY


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

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...

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.

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....

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....

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....

When we fight the trouble and guilt of yesterday
It is today we forfeit  
For happiness shall reign supreme
If only forgiveness would fall from our lips
And engulf our hearts

Suicide bombers, these cowards blow me away
To forfeit one's life for a belief that someday
Their soul will be saved
Their thinking's depraved
Seems the world is sinking into total decay...

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

BETRAY
Is there anything to forfeit for betray
Is it all what you really want to say
Let's get away, so far away
Everything we can save is nothing we can display

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...

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

If to our views, you don't align;
You'll forfeit your right to post and opine.

When with your ideas, we do agree;
We grant you the right to speak free.

Should your thinking be different we find,
You must shut up till you get back in line....

prenuptial agreement

all guardianship of the 
spot held within the others 
heart when an emotional 
split occurred between the 
two souls...

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

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....

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...

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
