My mind's still in the making

Motives For Marriages Are Well Known

Motives for marriages are well known!
She- want to climb on husband's neck.
His dreams are soaring much below,
Somewhere around lady's legs.

And who makes false the truth, in time
be it aggressors so complied
with tyranny that life does youth
their motives, while the young are tried!

Collateral

Geithner's true motives fall lost
when Congress gets double-crossed
by Fed Ponzi schemes
and banker wet dreams
while countless are getting tossed.

And who makes false in time, the truth -
Be it aggressors so complied
with tyranny, that life does youth
their motives . . . while the young are tried!

Premium Member So Long

I'm nothing special, that's for sure,
But if you find my motives so impure ...
Perhaps it's best that we parted ways,
And kept as gold, those fairer days.

Premium Member Money Ill Spent

Collaterol use global
'W H O' we can track? Why not now?
 account audits today

De fund deception
Mention all players motives
Not too late to this goal.!

22 Caught

Knowing they were
discreditable
He refused to examine
the motives

Refusing to examine
the motives
He discredited
— himself

(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)

Motivation of Action

a life of motives
relative flow that is active
remorse of ones notion
even excitement
a pair of thoughts
rare intelligence
reason of manifested will
fulfilment of passion
call of God

Step 2: Approach Indirectly

My moves, CALCULATED.
My motives, ULTERIOR.
My thoughts FIXATED...

...on getting you nearer

Premium Member Glatisant Beast

Pellinore or Palomides,
am I your glatisant beast;
the obsession
of a ceaseless hunt?

Elusive and untamed,
I run where the earth
does not question my motives
nor the moon
keep record of my faults.

Premium Member Soup a La' Stanley

Stanley was a turtle who led a happy life.

Stanley met Clarice, who soon became his wife.

But Clarice had other motives, and Stanley she did dupe.

For all along her intentions were to turn him into soup.

Premium Member migratory birds

Birds’ bodies are light
Which helps them in flight
Honeycomb consistency for sure
Their motives are pure

Raised up by their fluffy feathers
on wind in all kinds of weathers
Traveling wherever they can go
Leaving behind land of snow

Control

How I long for it--
control. It eludes
me. I have no say
in my own motives.
Good and evil converge.

I am under
the control of
my mind's fickle
whims and wants.

How unfair
for it to
have control.

I should
be in

control.

Dances With Wolves

Recreational impact
Flows in all motions
Motives of demonic ways

The pact howls
Intuitive and unsafe
The pact howls
Daring to follow
The pact howls
It's time for the hunt

Motives to celebrate 
Whichever motion it flows
The recreational pact

Premium Member Sex Is Weird

Sex is weird, thinking about the energy expended We slam into a woman repeatedly with a rock hard appendage Says coz we loves her Other motives are stirred Like a primitive explosion that's otherwise unintended? Hmmm...

Premium Member Venetian Masks

Mysterious masks.
Motives suspected.
Whispered invitation.
Dance confirms intentions.
Low hanging Venetian fog
floats through narrow streets.
Distant music from St Mark's Square
drifts to rooms above.
Feelings unmasked.
Gondolas rock softly.

Premium Member Gaze

Quatrain #387:
GAZE


Glimpse then the light that floods all things,
Ask for insight to meet each fling;
Zest fashions flight where wisdom shows,
Etch motives bright as echoes spring.

You'Er My Compulsion

I breathe you like air 
every moment you stay with me
In my imagination
you drive me relish and cherish
this beautiful world around
I see this world differently
gauge people's intentions
and motives within feelings
Poetry you're my compulsion.

Premium Member Messy Miller Mania

Righteous cleaning crusade clashes,
Make sure that your mania matches.
All must serve at our behest!
In this unbound purging quest.

Others' motives be assumed,
Adverse dispositions doomed.
Blame, demands, uncaring halts,
Justified by end results.

Her Lovely Lips

Her lovely lips,
Takes a bite,
Of an emotion 
That was not ripe,
Of an emotion
That was not able to grow,
Since her motives turned oh so cold,
Oh so dark,
That no one can see,
The little hope,
That started to gleam,
In the darkest corner,
In the darkest seem.
