Bereaved

Struggled heady

the sound of life
that beating heart
struggled to be listened
under your breast

undercover love
reveal yourself
to me......

A girl caught in her boobie trap
Struggled to untangle a strap
The preacher yelled, "Whoa!
It seems you don't know ...
Do I need to draw you a map?"...

For Dad I struggled like a slave

Being clean-cut and tight-lipped

I hope he's happy with my grave

Cuz the grass is always clipped...

As I watched numbers on cars,
I couldn't count my scars.
Yet they remained as stars,
On my skin.
They are my witness marks,
That I've struggled and to,
Feel stronger once again....

In harmless joy spent
Her eyes showed no fright
She became discontent
Her heart felt the sadness bite.

From the start she was of ill health
In life she struggled without wealth....

There was a young poet named Peter
Who struggled with rhyming and meter
Forever nonplussed
He gave up in disgust
And said, “I can say anything and everything I choose in the last line.”...

bound and tethered
held strong with grievous filaments
i struggled not
feeling the futility
and the masterful illusion of my jaundiced mind
she holds me captive
on the turntable of despair...

To every shade,
every direction.
Every insight, sight, every view.
That's where you find ME, MINE, &
Every tone, complexed complexion,
Direction,
maintaining every struggled hue!

Injured Soul
Fainted Eyes

Returning
from where?

Weary feet
Weak arms

Treading
toward where?

Struggled
in vain battles

Fighting
delusive enemies

Erred by
a deception

The ancient deception

Santa got stuck in a narrow long chimney.
Struggled, wiggled for hours to get himself free!
He let out a Loud blast!
Landed on his Big Ass!
His reindeer were laughing Hysterically!

There once lived a sage prophet named Moses

   Who struggled forty years guiding noses

      Seems the Israelites defied

         Most everything he tried

            Leading that mob was no bed of roses...

Fell out of bed dis morning
Got up on da right side
Felt something bend
worried I hurt my pride

struggled through the night 
and watched da lights go  dim 
that's when a man's  friend
has got to stand up for him...

We searched for each other – it turned out in vain.
We lived, loved not very often, we laughted and we struggled.
We promised to walk miles. We did in the rain.
But instead of a soulmate in bed I have cats that snuggle....

No matter what goals you achieve, STAY HUMBLE
Remain the person you started out as, even if you stumble
There is no great shame
If the real you remains
Even the most famous in history at times have struggled...

...with apologies to WW


I wandered lonely as a cloud
until my feet got wet.
I struggled through the 
undergrowth and found myself
beset by insects all around, 
my temper wholly spent,
to hell with yellow daffodils
and my predicament!...

I was determined to reach him
Struggled for years
Trying to impose my wishes
Not recognizing his need to have his own ideas
Honored or respected
Beat myself up
For ridiculous reasons
Time better spent
Fixing and nurturing myself...

sure, we struggled holding strong hands at times-
wars of words hurting hearts, but never going to bed angry;
MAKING UP by MAKING LOVE - (whispers of him wanting me)
for he is my beginning that never ends.......

Binary and non-binary got in a fight
  Their pronouns and hashtags struggled all night.
    Neither could defeat the other
    If they'd just merge, they might be brothers ~
  Up above, the One and Only Pre-binary turned out the light...

I knew a man who wanted all his life to just be right
He challenged every question, every doubt he would indict
And though he struggled earnestly, and battled hard and long
The best that one could say was … that at least he wasn’t wrong...

As I was walking in the snow
I met my friend of the Harrow
He struggled with the rat
That sat upon his hat
Tasting the toasted marshmallow
