Off limits
Yes
Not available
Taken to another level
Discovered
Life is life
Unlimited, realistic values
Unconditional measures....

Vows made in trueness of love
Are exchanged by the two hearts
Neath the heaven’s eyes above.

Rings wrapped around their fingers 
Express that they’re off-limits;
Letting all be reminded....

In the base motor pool
See an off-limits card school-
A scheming Bilko takes the pot
Hoodwinking top brass was his game,
Fast talking his claim to fame.

When the Internet goes down, it's basically over
Gives permission to injure the neighbor's dog Rover
Other things are permitted
Such as infidelity committed
But murder's off-limits cause that's not kosher...

WONDER OF PHYSICS
I am traveling through the wonder of physics
There is nothing wrong with being critics
Are you understanding the meaning of off limits
Don't ever try to ignore the cynics

These waters are off limits
no one will know
I dip my feet in 
move forward very slow
now I'm all wet
drowning in confusion
I fight and I fight
I feel I am loosing
I know I shouldnt have gone for this swim
and even though im drowning
I'd do it all over again...

Our lips barely touch. 
I breath in the taste of you. 
You linger on the tip of my tongue. 
Softly brush the edges of my sentiment.
Near enough to touch yet out of my grasp.
Off limits. Forbidden.  Not allowed.
Futile sweet captivation.
I am utterly without cure....

i want you
i want to be yours
but i cant 
you're off limits
you're cute,
you're sweet,
you're everything i want
but me and you,
we could never be
we've fallen,
for each other
but we know better,
cause us being together,
can never happen,
cause its forbidden...

She scours the globe

With a culturally diverse appetite
                    
                              Her lustful journey

Juan…Vino…Butch…Jacque...Rami...Pierre 

No country is off limits 

No country is safe

                              Her lustful journey

Everyone's talking about crime these days
     So few police, it seems thuggery pays

   No hotter topics than murder or theft
     No matter your politics be right or left

   Though in Chicago one issue's strictly off-limits for talking heads
     Mayoral race apathy - 32.6% turnout - means democracy's dead...

She'd already laid her pretty eggs
before I found her nest
in the small space above front door
where nothing can molest.

I was gone from home only a week.
My house was not abandoned,
when she moved right in without a thought
of any rent demanded.

My front door is now off limits for
all my visitors and me,
since we'd be unwilling targets for
mama swallow flying free....

There was a soul-searching 
after a negative assassination
tearing my past, my future.

Beneath the burden 
lies the mountain of bail-outs.
You don’t feel whole
in shadows of countings.

The borders were breached 
for lavish darkness
alive under the full moon.

Was it a flight risk in a swan 
lake, when you were
taking a dive to pluck the 
erupting fire of indictment.

The couch is off-limits.
(Today it's a bridge.)
My feeling aren't hurt.
(Okay, maybe a smidge.)

For when Henry is building,
The world must concede
To the object and spaces
His projects might need.

He's lucky his house has
Some couches to spare
And if they're all bridges,
There's always a chair.

At least he's absorbed in
His "building" at home,
Which leaves me some moments
To whip up a poem....

I am a beautiful flower
That is rooted in this bower.
Off limits for the likes of me
A nuisance most all will agree.
The bees do visit me daily
Sweet as the white trumpet lily
Who resides with me in this bed;
But still my life’s in constant dread
Of toxic sprays and solutions
A sentence of execution
They’ll spray on my bright yellow head.
I am prolific and spread
But tomorrow I will be gone
Because I’m a dandelion....

A man in a position of authority
Must keep integrity at all costs
He doesn't target a woman 
he knows is vulnerable and damaged
He doesn't flirt or play games
I guess now there is going to be
A smear campaign against me
That I'm the one who's nuts and crazy
I can handle that
It's not my fault for being targeted
Shame on this man
He should keep integrity at all costs
Woman at work are off limits
Especially the vulnerable ones...

LIMITLESS

her boundaries
are not
confined
there are no
off limits or
restrictions
that bind

allures ensnare
like
decoys
they entice
baited men
drawing them
into her 
vice

how true the star
pearl
of sand and
fleeting foam
how true 
when reality
comes in to
land

try to disguise
hurt
and laugh as
guilt corrodes
tears can
never wash
away filth and 
dirt

whose agony
is worse
yours
or 
mine?...
