Short Musts Poems

and it dawns on me
while straightness
aims for conformity
it seems to clutter
people's brains
with madeup rules of
shoulds and musts
that snowball
spitefully into
rampant
venomous
chaos

I cast my gaze on other folk,
and sort them out with shoulds and musts.
My problem is a certain bloke;
his comport fills me with disgust.
Reflecting on him, all I see:
myself, just staring back at me.

Love is
What we need to do
Musts
We have to do
To say, to give
Far above our own hearts
Willingly
For someone else's
Edification and good pleasure
Yielding
Far more than
What we want to do
Desires 
We long to do
To say, to give
From our own hearts
Good pleasure and edification
For someone else's
Love... is
We do both...

deep in this morning
i the processor must clean 
set aside the wants of the day 
and do the musts, in every dust wiping way  

rub and scrub 
till its all done 
and hope i have time for a little fun 
before the night set in 

because inspection day (12-22-2010) will be coming soon

Lucky for me 
I only been here, for about four months......

Love should be cherished and held tightly
Love is not something to be taken lightly
When you fall in love your heart flutters
And your brain mummers
I think love is that lovely feeling
And no matter what love gives that healing 
Love endures and trusts
And always show you the musts 
Never give up on the one you love 
Because if you trust and cherish love will help you rise above!!!...

What  dark and cooler distant sun 
Dusk nor dawn do not disturb 
The Tenacious audacious sparkling night 

No startling light Except the moon 
Beaming at the True loved stars of
His dreaming Gleaming starlit 
Twilight life

Everything of the twilight dusk 
Inspires a poet to create poetic 
Verse and verbs with perfect words
A list of worldly worthy words of
Poetic musts when dark is dusk
And dawn is new...
