Focus

Focus each step and watch your love grow. You'll be there in time,now don't get to low. 
You'll slip up & fall down. But keep your head high. The straighter you are, the faster you'll fly.


Premium Member Anatomy of a Cover-Up

A misstep detected
His image affected
PR staff directed
Positive spin injected

The slip-up rejected
An opponent suspected
To torture subjected
The slander corrected

Unanimously, as expected
The President re-elected
Foul play unsuspected
Threat now deflected

Today

Last Night I Ran Away
I Wish I Could Say Here Id Stay
Not Here
But Stay Away
From War
From Home
But No
No, They'll Make Me Go Back
No, I Dont Want To Do That
I Didnt Slip Up
Last Night I Didnt Cut
I Took The Second Choice
Not To Stay, But Run Away
Not To Die
But Take A Hike
I Wish I Could Stay Away
But Of Course I Must Go Back
Sometime Today

Premium Member Lucille and the Law

Lucille bought herself a three-wheeled trike Better for her than a two-wheel bike Her age was catching up When she had a slip-up Running over a three-year-old tyke. Police charged Lucille with manslaughter With no jail time, thanks to her daughter Quashing spectacles, No more vehicles And keeping off the police blotter.

Love Story Pt 3 ( Only 98 More To Go )

Why her of all people? Why'd I have to fall in love with her?
I'm losing my mind and it's not a figure of speech.
Tell me the truth, no tell me the lie do you love me too?
I'm under a different kind of pressure 'cause it looks like I'm falling deeper with you.
Was there a slip-up in life when I saw you two?
I hope you can understand that I'm just being me when I say, "I love you."

The Eyes of Venus

Hot raptor breath
Push goosebumps to life
On the golden-honey flesh
Of a most desired sight.

Deeply tanned and rubenesque,
Unsheathed, scented shoulders.
Arms that distill without cause to beckon
The wills of the penile-brained knights.

Wallow in her moist pink flower.
Defend with your armor that nymphet tower.
But beware, Dear Sir, should your eye slip up
Two orbs of Venus power.

COPLA VEINTISEIS : This Bad Guy World

Yet there’s one more explanation
Psychopaths make the best businessmen
All in the genes

Way the chips spin into motion
Bad Guys can blame it on semen
And spill the beans

Watch the Bad Guy twist turn and split
Most convenient it’s to slip up
In short play sick

His role’s to get Good Guys to quit
So this rotting world will blow up
Till all fall sick

One Mistake

One small choice can change the future.
One small heartbreak can eliminate you from the world.
One little conversation can change your every belief.
One little secret can stop your world from unfolding.
One little accident can create a life full of misery.
One little slip up can create a lifetime of shame.
One small wrong movement can eliminate you from the game.
Something very little can affect everything. 
So why carelessly choose your path?

Senility

Through her filmy eyes, scanning the daylight hues, wary of what lies in wait around the corner or what might slip up behind a lean back. The icy freeze that racks her body down below weakened spine, causes her to search frantically for unseen glow in the faces around ; while she struggles to remember exactly where home inhabits a vision leaving the clarity of her mind.

Setting the Matter Straight

There are times when you’re distracted
And you even can forget
To take care of business; maybe
It’s not happened to you yet.

But in time, it’s bound to happen
And perhaps you’ll be dismayed
For you’ll realize that a slip-up
Is the price that you have paid.

Some distractions may cause damage;
Others only aggravate.
If you’re lucky, you’ll recover
And can set the matter straight.


*I rarely miss a day of posting a poem. 
I did yesterday...

Talking Smooth

Your sweet face always aglow
Is it for real or is it just a show
A small slip up or an unfolding mistake
this feeling of mine, I cant seem to shake

You feed me one of your compulsory lines
that I haven't believed the last dozen times
is deceit and lies all your bringing?
Because your words have alarm bells ringing

I don't mean to just presume
Your words are lies I just assume
a pretty voice designed to sooth
seems to me your just talking smooth

Fruedian Slip

He said “my”
Just tossed it casually into his sentence
He said “my”
Like mine and all that could have been implied
Like there's a “we”
A you and me
With nothing in between
And I'm wondering
Did he mean it?
Did you mean it?
I think it's
A Freudian slip
Slip up I'm
Reading too much into
I think you don't know
What you may be getting into
I'm too
Hopeful for a me and you
A we
A “my”
To be
A “yours”
I think
I'll just wait for another
Freudian slip
Slip up
I can't ignore
