Premium Member The Tin Pan of Woe

The eating of pie before dinner,
It isn’t on point to get thinner.
It’s best to let go
That tin pan of woe,
And be a calorical winner.

Less Room

There’s much to let out of the cage,
A flow out from the chamber,
But there is less room,
And restraint is the space.

Holly Would

Underneath the Hollywood smog
A poodle may doodle your dog
Without some restraint
The Pope ain't a saint
So Hells Angels sleep with their hog

Premium Member Order a Pizza

When I order a pizza
From a restraint
I eat as my meal
I will have left overs
It will be taken home
To have in the morn
For my morning meal

Loves First Breath

A missing piece in one's soul,

Is a tenderness not bound.

Although I may have yet to discover

Its freedoms.

I have its beauty

And restraint.

Bank Clerk

The bank clerk filed a complaint
Because her boss tried to acquaint
Himself with her boobs
Felt he had nothing to lose
So, she tied him up with restraint

Premium Member 'Pop' Went His Easel

   All about the canvas he paints
     images of old steam diesels
    
   When he drew a locomotive that showed no restraint
      ‘Pop’ went his easel
Form: Lyric

Boom!

Teeth ache from the clench.
Tension.
Restraint.
Busting forth and out, like the splitting of an atom.
No mercy to those around.
Caught in the blast.
BOOM!

A Woman's Breast

Her breast they weigh
on thin blouse - flush
no restraint
against the shoulder - brush
a gentleman’s heart, breath
(thus)
a woman’s breast
we’re born to Trust

Getting Dressed Mad

Getting dressed he's much the aggressor
His restraint couldn't be any lesser 
He yanks on his pants
With grumbles and rants
That's why they call him a cross dresser!

To my face, I must restraint
 
To paint a smile would be a lie
No one wants to see my true insides
Behind this masterpiece I will hid

A kiss sweetly given true

Goodbye

Without care,
Without restraint,
Without plans,
Without worries,
Without tears,
Without regret,
Without him,
Without her,
Without fear,
Without hurt.
She leaves today…
With nothing.

Don'T Lose Control

...there is a hunger inside me that i cannot contain
its gnawing my insides....burning through my restraint
its a live-wired bomb waiting to explode
and destroy my life... my world..... my soul

Hi There Reality

20/11/2013

Hi there reality
It's been so long
Since last time we have chat prolonged
I think I'm just gonna say hi
Then bye...

You're no better than then
Always in restraint

Taxi Cab

Its easier than
You thought. 

Tacos in hand and
All. But I won't
Eat your flavor
as you are so
Ridiculous. 

I took a taxi
And it was 
Wondrous,
Traveling
and Undying

Like a zombie
without restraint. 

I come undone.

A Failed Argument

No. I won't. Practice restraint. Don't send him that message. Just wait for him to come to you. You are stronger than this; you don't need him. There is nothing more you can say... Message Sent

Premium Member Ache To Pain

I wouldn’t call it lust
For that I can control
It’s the absence of restraint
And longing in my soul

What keeps me in suspense 
And turns my ache to pain
A need to cherish and love someone 
Who doesn’t feel the same
Form: Rhyme

Subsumed

You enter my starry expanse—
every thought I try to hush brightens.
I tame my pulsations with restraint, 
afraid my asterisms 
will say too much.

You shift along 
til you entrain my world—
subsumed 
but never near.

Lockdown

abhorrent aberration of freedom restraint
due to a virus toxic to taint
indiscriminately poisoning justification 
fear mongering media increasing pervasion 
bigger heads gorge greater merriment
whilst executing each experiment.
