she is caught off guard
anger rears out of her heart
snake like words come forth
he jumps back as if bitten
relationship dismal now...

Peals of thunder pierced
Echoes roaring round the hills 
All air swirled round
Catching me off guard I jumped
Each echo ended in rain...

finding his old letters
at the bottom of my drawer
caught me off-guard ~
it took me a minute
to catch my breath

It hurt me
It moved me 
It caught me off guard
It made me feel like I wanted to Die
It taught me a lesson I will never forget
It made me show love and respect without any regret...

Hello beautiful.
How are you today?
I’ve missed you,
I want you back.
I’ve lost you.

Hello.
I’m fine, how are you?
You’re always on my mind.
He caught me off guard. 
Find me....

primal feral instincts 
involuntarily stir
catching us off guard 
yet here they are
vibrations unwelcome 
which so appear 
where grow their roots
which we nurture

Santa’s claws let go of the smoke stack

cracked his backbone with a loud crack

for once he had been off guard

kid’s dreams shattered and scarred

his fart caused a panic attack

Life is full of heartbreak
Explode with raging passion
Sail in an opposing to the dock
Limit feelings and focus on logic
If you're caught off guard by the wave.

Alas this is a tale of overweight Myrtle
With help from ladies getting into her girdle,
They stressed and strained and pulled so hard,
When an exploding Myrtle caught them all off guard,
The ladies were placed in great peril....

Hard at work, 
expecting nothing,
Caught off guard ,
but caught just the same,
by this love with no name.
Smooth, subtle like a cloud across the sky.
Without saying anything ,
but blessing us just the same, 
with her cool autumn rain....

Like sick allergies, 
Boredom can be passed around
I call it: THE BOREDOM DISEASE

Like a horrid storm,
Boredom can catch you off guard
Hold on for DEAR LIFE!

Like the whooping cough,
Boredom can be serious
If I were you, I’d
Get a vaccination !...

Once a man was caught off guard,
Crying like a child.
He was fat as tubby lard
And was sorta wild.

Took a woman of great wealth
His potential seen.
Made him lose weight regain health
Now he is not mean.

Undeniable this what I feel
Unexpectedly caught off guard
Once broken now I can heal
Just left my heart scarred

Time I took perhaps too long
Yet felt so good to just breathe
How in life could that be wrong
Allowing my own words to weave...

Put a nickel on the needle
Hold me down so I won't skip
Spin the red top round and round
Catch me before I hit the ground
You sunk my battleship 
You knocked my block off
You catch me quite off guard
Should you ever breathe my way
You'll wreck my house of cards.

While sitting near the rivers edge
Enveloped in another tale 
Caught off guard by raw beauty 
Setting my pen off to set sail

As the sun glistens off the river
My reflection distorted above
Surrounded by natures jewels 
Enchanted by what I love

She's all alone in the snow 
caught her off guard 
scared 
she's trying to find her way home 
storm causes whiteout 
she's cold 
should have thought twice before leaving yard 
in the forest, she's caught 
screams for help.

Soft touches against her face 
She squirms, wiggles, and refuses to stay in one place 
Startled by the affection
Caught off guard by his erection
Her libido burns with lust
She says aloud, "we are alone, it's just us"
His hands visits her inner sanctum
With her head held back in pleasure, she gladly thanks him...

He can't understand us off guard,
Western right to those who prefer hoot!
We drank pure sabuh,
Time or
Is it human?

Haram is forgotten,
Where is mekruh?
Our way with the Qur'an is tavazzuh,
The same soul in different bodies,
Our Holiness, Noah,
Heart of love with this mecruh.

Listen to poem:

Hit me like a back-handed slap
when off-guard, unprepared and vulnerable.
I could not see it coming!
Lover's sweet words, once honeyed and kind,
now sharp and cruel as thorns, piercing unrelenting,
hacking into the quick, where you know it hurts.
Leaving me shattered, splattered,
stunned and dumped off-track.
I was taken aback, and shafted
by the attack....

Life is rough. 
Life is hard.
Sometimes it will catch you off guard. 
You never know what's in store.
You just dont know who or what can be behind that next door.                                           Sometimes I laugh,  I cry and other times i just wanna die. 
Life can be great or life can be fun.
Sometimes you just gotta hope that your mistakes can be undone....
