Don't stand up to kiss
I'll get down on bended knee
Let's give the leg rest...

There are behaviors that I detest
From people who preach that their work's the best
Lines of gobbledygook
Reads like a boring book
Time to give their arrogant pen a rest...

Christians over Here
Muslims over There
Jews were you Are
Now for heavans sake
Give all your God's a Rest
Stop arguing who is Best
For if God is not 1
3 times accountable you Become...

That is what you FEEL
Get the “L” out of there
And give me the rest
Said she

With a gaping purse
By the sea
With the “L” after SEA
She sobered to bank

Was it the worth?
Said he, Sober.

Ponder!...

Snowy, slushy mess,
driving now a test,
snowy, slushy mess,
heart is in my chest,
snowy, slushy mess,
please be a quick guest,
snowy, slushy mess,
all snow would be best,
snowy, slushy mess,
sky, give it a rest!

‘cause this stuff is terrible....

Politics season
Sans rhyme and reason
Never-ending blitz
Constant News Network
Won’t give it a rest

Traffic today
Bumper stickers’
Noted absence
Relief, not grief

Excitement 
Is absent
Root against

Trump chump
Hill pill

Lose.

Some things would be better unsaid.
Some fads never should have survived.
Some books would be better unread.
Some plays never should be revived.

I saw a production today
And this show failed my comatose test.
If the years aren’t kind to a play,
My advice is – just give it a rest!...

I want to talk to you
but I just run away
to try to prevent you from seeing

I'm afraid to be crushed
but don't want to lose
and needlessly push you away

I give it a rest
to wait and see
how it will turn around

Someday we'll see
where I will be
and if you're still around...

narcissists with huge egos slither and slink ~ hmmm, what would Rumi think

a sly smile on their lips, thinking it's a disguise ~ not from many eyes

having an overly aggressive attitude ~ it's just plain a-rse rude

they are like lemons with sour zest ~ for goodness sake, please give it a rest

Give it a rest
That's for the best
Got it off my chest
Thoughts unpossessed
Trying not to be stressed
Everything confessed
Or easily guessed
I feel unblessed
Don't like how it coalesced
Behaviour transgressed
It's been addressed 
Trust reassessed 
Right now I'm distressed
Become uninvited guest 
Should have honoured request...

1 year passed and I want you more
2 you only I give my heart
3 words I tell you and nothing more… (I love you)
4 seasons are never enough to hold you
5 days I wait to touch your hand
6 times I die till I see your smile
7 was our lucky number
8 hours left and then I die
9 lives I have… I give you the rest
10’Th time I say, “Don’t cry for my life”...

CONJURER.

Conjuring up all the memories
Of past and future into present
Washing eyes with saline waters
To see clarity among the mists
Vista of tragedy in land stranded
Where downy fears ever abounded.

Give mind a rest, some space
To breathe out suffocations
Celebrating birth of a heart
In misty silvery undertones
A courage in projections to start....

My Hooch
Wounded soldier
Couldn't be wiser
Couldn't be bolder

Road soda
Training wheels older
My sixer
This isn't over

Forget the tipple
Make it a triple
Gimmie the moonshine
Just make it all mine

This is the juice
This is forever
This one's for you
Make you feel better

Is this all booze?
Give me the rest
Too tired now
To give it my best

Giggle-water got me
Went to my head
Open my hand now
I might be dead...

"Sweet shirts!" they scream
as you pass wearing green
bright and so proud it hurts.
Good job wearing shirts.

Women with vests,
partially exposed chests,
I say, "Give it a rest!
Put away your chests!"

I once ate fruit,
since I thought it was cute,
and though it looked real good,
it was made of wood.

Now my mouth's sore,
and I just have no more
dish from which to serve dirt,
so I say, "Sweet shirts."...

I try to work the pain away
I go to the gym everyday
Maybe I’ll sweat you out
Find out what true love is really all about
And then I’ll go away
I pray to the gods I don’t believe in to make it stop
Tell the voices to give it a rest,
My time is ticking on the clock
Can’t stop thinking about the ticking from my watch
Is this what life is like?
If it is than I will fight 
With all of my might 
For something more of a delight...

Sauntered into the chat-room site
looking for conversational delight;
But what I found, depressingly,
was no one much interested in me;
first room in, what happened there?
It quickly emptied into silent air;
second one was not much different,
it turned into time not well spent;
several tries and none was better,
made me wonder, then to fretter;
decided to give it a rest for while,
next time won’t post my pic profile....

On the edge of sanity,
Perched upon the ledge.
Do you join the maddening crowd,
And give yourself a rest?

Anxiety can strangle,
An endless deep dark hole.
Suffocating rational thought,
Till you nearly loose control.

Fight a warring battle,
Raging in your head.
Regulate your breathing,
Invoke calm instead.

Despair soon disappears,
Swallowed way down deep.
Rational starts to return,
Find your inner peace.

Sam was the fluffiest Tom on the Parisian block
The tittering of females was found around the clock
They came into Starbucks at a quarter until eight
Giggling and gaggling, which he did not appreciate

Give it a rest, Sam thought, as he tried to read his book.
They were older ladies, giving him a “come hither look”.
He was tired of being married, he had done it six times before.
He would always amble home to Mama at a quarter to four....

What would have pumped life to a dulling heart
   What could have been the realization of a dream, 
What should have made better tomorrows than today, 
   Came a little too late, so it seems.

         Give it a rest
      And be contented.

For who’s to know what there is today
   Amounts somewhat much lesser
When there is naught one righteous
   To judge which is better, 
And in thus may regret be unhanded, set free
   When things are not meant to be....

Shed a tear
no me not cry
why
does it make you
feel weak inside

I shed a tear  
when I feel pain
emotions mixed
its not a game

its just a part
of what makes me me
I shed a tear when
my heart screams

Shed a tear Oh yes I cry
I wont keep it all bottled
up inside

Shed a tear oh yes I do
you should shed a tear or two
release the stress trapped
down in you

So shed a tear to break the stress
Now get off my back and give it a rest...

Only sixteen years to my name
and I already have feelings of longing 
for the years that have passed by all too quickly.

It used to be a race to grow up.
I can still hear the schoolyard ringing 
with taunts of "I'm older than you are."

But now it's a struggle with the hands of the clock,
trying to freeze them in their relentless path.

Give me a rest.

The seconds tick by.

The years roll on.

Only yesterday I thought I'd never grow up....

Break my wings if the need be,
That I may never without You fly;
Oh why should You let me flee
To my own doom to quickly die?!
Please, help me the truth to know
That I am nothing without You
--That this world is a vain show
Of what is most far from true.
If the path on which I daily tread
Is one with damnation laden,
O, let your mercies in its stead
Roll away every of its burden.
For this I write is my one request:
Grant it Lord; give my soul rest....

Silly me

I stayed right up until the end

The final credits

Probably the last to leave

For fear i may just miss 
something that never ends
up happening

Apart from sloppy seconds or
drunken leftovers such as myself

But it's like playing numbers
on the lottery

Once in you just can't stop

Just incase one's numbers
actually come up or something
happens that probably never will

Like meeting the one or winning
anything more than my ticket
money back...
