glares broadcasting dominance
Bodies crouch, tails flick,

Will never now reach full bloom,
This flower’s potential left unfurled, 
A flower cut much too soon.

embrace your special gift

I am a blank canvas
     My potential is

  But that all depends

Premium Member Melancholy

Room’s messy.
Mind’s disorganized.
Emotions contained.
Thoughts emanating.
Art visualized.
Potential inhibited.
Poetry written.
Dreams unrealized.

Being and Fantasy

the tightness of silence
raw potential
in each space of relation
the nerve of your lust
keeps me bulging
to discover every contour
of your being and fantasy
