An insecure smile 
Hiding madness and gore

An insecure sadness
Hiding love and war

She was many things
But good enough
Wasn't one of them....

They built a wall to keep them apart
forgetting love will not be dismayed…
for despite the barriers set out to stop them
their 2 hearts found a way....

They say 
All's fair,
In love and war.

When broken hearts
And bombshells,
Lay shattered 
On the floor.

But what of love,
Turned into war?
Is all still fair,
In love AND war?...

A familiar old saying “all's fair in love and war”
Sounds right but I happen to like wild sex on the floor
Be the best version of you
Put on those comfortable shoes
While you're at it, think of pretty flowers and chickies galore...

Roses are red.
True love is rare.
My love for you is eternal
i swear.

Love is a battle.
not everyone wins.
but those who do
are freed from their sins.

Most of them don't get that far
as not everyone can jump over the wall.
All is fair in love and war.
but isn't love a war after all....

Polarization

Word of the year..

Separation up front..

Separation appears

In love and war

And news headlines..

Seemingly what is

Until appearance 

Reveals what isn't...


Merriam-Webster:
Polarization
Demure
Fortnight
Totality
Resonate
Allision
Weird
Cognitive

tiptoeing through a minefield of disaster

      in-between games of love and war.

the heart's timpani drum faster and faster;

     the sword of damocles soon to roar.

It only takes a note to raise me from
my slumber …

A tip tappity tap of a beat.
Something street,
and I’m all ears, hands,

but most of all feet …

a melody meanders in the back
of my mind,

a simple, serene
rhythm somewhere
between love and war

is the perfect score, that brings
with it harmony....

If I was a plant
It would be a cactus.
Pretty to look at
But painful to hold.

If I was a place
It would be Alaska.
Beautiful, majestic,
But decidedly cold.

For every action
There is a reaction.
Or maybe it's karma I'm told.

But without you to love me
I would have no reason
To still be here when I'm old....

One must learn to thrive
Three years of perseverance
Two now pleaded lenience

Three bleeding hearts…. what about the scars, she could never discard?
Everything is fair in love and war; two swords do not fit into one scabbard.

If I were a plant
I would be a cactus
Beautiful to look at
But painful to hold

If I were a place
It would be Alaska
Beautiful, majestic
But decidedly cold.

For every action
There is a reaction
Or maybe it's karma
I'm told.

But, without you to hold me
I would have no reason
To still be here when I'm old.

She be soft and smooth, but true within
She has much of many things

She has scars from passion and passage
She be reflective and reflected upon

She be a story of love and war
She has felt the lips of fish

She has been skipped and collected
She be pet or weight of sentiment

She be whatever a mind needs her to be
She has always been true within

She Rock...

Just a sock lying there 
on the shattered ground
calling out to humanity
questioning the declaration
that all is fair in love and war
where is fairness
in a life just started 
snatched by the bombs of belief
that one cause has more value than another
a child’s sock
tattered and stained
lying where the bombs fell
a life unlived
if that is belief
then fairness is shame...

She turned ten;wasn't there
In love and war,all is fair
Father and daughter apart
Now off to a new start

She turned twenty, not present, if I say
Only an Indian ocean away 
Time lost; absence felt
My heart,my life had to melt

She turned thirty in the land of the free
Once again, without me
Can anything destroy my love for her ?
She turns thirty one today;Happy Birthday my daughter...

she was nothing to me
yet she meant everything
why did i love her
just in love with love

she was good to me
i was bad for her
i left her crying in bed
now i miss her,  how i miss her

venus and mars
love and war,  war and love
fight to love,  love to fight
venus and mars

her face lives in my phone
a thousand messages i delete
she was venus i was mars
lonely nights allow sleep...

It's Spain's Toledo in Castile at times of Reconquest 
The pic of history entails both love and war along with Jewish people drama zest 
My fellow Jews, who are advisers to the kings, - to you I issue my advise: 
Please read this book and hide your daughters from king's eyes, 
Or otherwise, so much to your surprise, 
In vanity pursuit and lack of humbling you will find your own family demise....

Hypnotized by their looks, 
Caught me like a fish on a hook,
They glow as bright as the sun, 
Their smile lit up with fun,

Their voice is like music to my ears, 
Bright, loud, soothing. All theirs,
I’d take an insult for them, 
Like in the Ruff. They’re a gem,

Are they really worth falling over? 
For them, I’d need a 4 leaf-clover, 
If all is fair in love and war, 
I can’t do this anymore....

"Razors in their Gloves" 

Keep thy enemies close
befriend the smiling banshees
holding their cowboy guns

such beings in love with love
all’s fair in love and war
dripping honeyed lines

for greenants to walk along

truth be known they’ll be 
back in the ring 
before too long 

kissing windy cheeks
shaking hands 
with razors in their gloves

Who are you?
Who break my sleep?
Happening of each night
Tale me why you do 
This kind activity with my life
I know everything fair 
In love and war
But your activity now become
Atrocity on my life and my heart
Tale me truth about the reason
Tale me truth about the vision
True is also that now your appear
In the dream become part of life
True is also that I go in deep sleep
To view your dream each night...
