Premium Member Lass

Lass, 
	Unblemished by submission, 
	Familiar beyond Miss, 
	Unshadowed your smile, 
	Your modesty of kiss, 
	Love's early morning -
	Yet to come the sun-clear day.

Modesty

R-emain down-to-earth, 
B-e free of heart's hate, anger, 
P-ride and mind's conceit.

When We Love We Do Body Poetry

We dress in desires
and we stripped of our modesty,
we are powerful now,
we are of love, the stage and actors...
we turn around
and we turned over
and we write
with our bodies,
poetry... !

Mighty attractions,
Builders build,
Workers bleed
Diving floors,
Infinity pools
Imitating paradise?
Posh suites,
Modesty retreats 
Trying to touch the clouds,
Are you immortal kings ?

of half-hearted

shrouded in fake

Friendship That Last

Strong friendship
Need no talking
But good feeling.

Not rely big
In good events
But in comfort.

Not proud showcase
Love modesty
In time of needs.

True friends value
More in hearts
And never part.

E asily carried by breadth the sun gods expel
N ymphs greet her with a rich purple cloak
U ndulating roses their seed heads shook
S he covers her modesty with a smoldering look
