    Self-defense mechanisms
        take over in times like these …

       Don’t forget ‘thank you’ and ‘please’

Sapphire Bracelet

SAPPHIRE BRACELET,
Holding my hand like two lovers in the park,
Many Admire,
Few Possess,
Bring me self-esteem and preservation,
Beauty and regality,
So i might sparkle,
In an other wise dull world.

Premium Member Injection

O sorrow doth linger and last,
injection of formaldehyde —
preservation of solitude 
on shroud swept cliffs — they call my name!

Premium Member Tread Lightly, Cover Your Cough

Listen to poem:
To tread lightly on Planet Earth
To dive in with a tiny weeny splash
To cover your cough and not foul the air with smoke
To ardently proclaim earth's preservation
   is an altruistic axiomatic asseveration to Gaia.

Dating Dysfunction

When dating
pay rapt attention
to your intuition

I did:

For self-preservation
in relation
to emotional creation

When he made it clear
that his ex is his BFF
I exited the scene
to be released
from negative energy

Who Is Fooling Who

Once more
I hear those tales
Uttered with potent persuasion
In the quest for self-preservation
Half-truths and half lies
Lots of lows but yet no highs
I don’t know who to believe
I have my vote to give
Who is gonna receive?

Premium Member Mankind

Has any other species
been so keen
to perfect an aptitude
to destroy itself?
Somehow I think not,
for nature's way
appears to sway
towards self preservation.
In a world
where only the strong
survive,
the strength
of the independent mind
bears the burden
of all mankind.

Premium Member GUSTAV MAHLER ON TRADITIONS

This blessing comes from composer Gustav Mahler
Who has a wonderful definition…
of something important to all of us…
That would be our family traditions….

It is a definition meant to encourage and inspire:
Tradition is not the worship of the ashes…
but the preservation of the fire.

Displays of Affection

Unfortunate isn't it
That we only see a roses beauty
Once its been plucked away
Torn from it's roots
Shaven thorns
Simply there for 
self preservation
Put up nicely in a bouquet
to look like the rest
But as for me,
I will kiss your thorns
I will leave you at home
You don't belong to me

Premium Member Hershey Bar

Kept for preservation, iced and freezer burned inside and outside. 
Faded and frosted in a foiled wrapper, unfold the sweet love bite. 
Temptation defeats, a sweet-tooth, I concur, I ate the chocolate.

Premium Member World Tried To Break Me

they gave it more than a passable go
but my confidence and self-preservation are powerful allies
bullying did not dent
name-calling did not crucify
Flexibility and tenacity are my middle names
I fly into the rafters and caw at my tormenters
Who are vastly disappointed
they could not break me.

Premium Member The Preservation of Peace

Clawing at granite walls 
Searching for that perfect peace.
Using the shavings of those walls,
to construct yet another wall
to preserve the sheen of peace.
                but
Peace is a restless beast... 
escaping through the first crack it sees
To keep its pristine peace, peace must always flee.

Premium Member Mary Haggis

Mary Haggis, little clown
With beak like blighted crows
And scary hair all lit aflame
Is where the woodbine grows.

Just a Soul

Just a soul without an owner
A drifted mystic persona 
A body slipped into a coma 

Art is the creation
A dreams realisation
An ideas preservation

Art without a canvas 
An address-less campus 
A globe without an atlas

A printer with no toner 
An upper without a lower
Just a soul without an owner

Indian History

The Indians are Najavo
The army says "GO"

"Go to the reservation,
they are for you preservation"

Wovoka started the Ghost Dance
To pull Indians out of their trance

"We will fight for reform,
and we will not conform"

Custer discovered gold,
in the land so cold

Forces clashed at the Little Bighorn
A battle full of scorn
Form: Couplet

Autumn

The eruption, an autumnal blaze: yellow, red, and orange flames,
A reminder of the beauty of nature, the fragility
Of life, the mortal function of death, in 
conjunction to rebirth, beyond preservation, the sensation
Of time, slipping away before our
Eyes, in a flurry of
Colors, showing us the
Beauty in endings
Hope in
Beginnings.

Awaiting the body count

Brilliant execution
Orders followed
Self preservation
Far from battle

Cloistered warmly, safe
Divinely chosen to sit
In Bill's house on the hill
Awaiting the body count

Lives snuffed out
Two years ago
Did not go away
Now back to haunt

Karma is real; payback 
In other lives and places
Time's a continuum
Matter's indestructible
