Tat

If the butterfly on the small of her back spreads even wider, it will become a locust. Ink will munch skin as if she were a leaf.

Tit 4 Tat

The Captain's new wife was "true blue"
Whilst he stayed The Wives Club main screw
But rather than pout
When the Captain was out
She serviced his troops two by two

TIT-FOR-TAT PERSIAN CAT
A young man and his chic Persian cat
Help each other out tit-for-tat
He feeds her fresh kippers
She brings him his slippers
Why can’t more couples be thoughtful like that?

Tit For Tat Do Not Do

When all were bad
I was good
Now all are sad
My life is good
Law of karma I understood!

Note: Ancient Indian law of karma says that you get back what you give. So "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Tit for tat as 'favors' go
 Sometimes there is a cash flow
 pay the piper get it done
 When you're busted its no fun
 Caught up in a 'quid pro quo'

Leaving his wife to her fate,
He went with another on a date.
With no protective shield,
He entered the field.
Forever, for him, his spouse shut the gate.

Premium Member Tat Tvam Asi - That Thou Art

an old adage affirms, ‘I Am That’
perhaps a clarification is needed
‘I Am That and That is not in mind’

So drop thought, ego begot
Abiding in absolute silence
That false identity drops
Revealing eternal truth

Recognition is the key

Innocent voices all tremble
Rifled trillions sure-fire treble

Tit For Tat

An eye for an eye
A lie for a truth
A song for a sigh
A note for a groove

A line for a page
A pen for some ink
A light for a stage
A show for a drink

An app for an age
A web for a site
A chart for a gage
A gig for a bite

A kiss for a chance
A tongue for a taste
A deuce for a dance
A catch for a phrase

Tit For Tat

Life has lots of give and take;
That’s just where it’s at.
If you ask for favors
Then expect in no time flat,
You’ll find the ball back in your court – 
A simple tit for tat.

Those we’re close to are exempt.
Then a welcome mat
Is always waiting there for you;
No need for standing pat.
But in every other case,
The norm is tit for tat.

Premium Member Tat Tvam Asi - That thou art

Silence layers silence, we enter deep trance
As awareness self-aware, heart invokes grace
Our formless consciousness joins the cosmic dance
Our presence expands engulfing all of space
As breath of God, in all living forms we prance
The entire universe in us we encase
This epiphany signals we are the all
Wake up hermit, truth of our true Self recall

My 1 Wish Tat Can Be Only Completed In Afterlife

have u ever felt like diving in water and den flying outta it like a dolphin ?
have u ever felt like jumping off a cliff and imagine tat u wont fall but lay slow on the green carpet below??
have u ever felt like entering a green canopy and know that no thorn can bruise you?
have u ever felt like jus 1s god jus 1s if I cud be only a soul and not a body?
ever felt like simply dissolving?????

If you hit me and I hit you back,
Tit for Tat.
If you lie to me and I lie back,
Tit For Tat.
If you steal from me and I steal back
Tit for Tat

This for this
And that for that

I think that sometimes this is true
And it should be so,
Other times its common sense
Not to tittle-tattle so.

If you do a kindness
You cannot take it back.
It would be mindless,
To expect Tit for Tat.

Tit Tat

One in the same me and you
 Both of us desperately in love
 Nothing either of us feel we can do
 Here push comes to shove
 
I am left here with what emotions I came
 Sure my heart stutters at the sound of your name
 None of that matters and it all sounds to lame
 My feelings are real, this is not some kind of game
 
Guessing that none of this matters
 Until were together we'll both be in tatters

If you lie to me and I lie back,

If you steal from me and I steal back

This for this
And that for that

I think that sometimes this is true
And it should be so,
Other times its common sense
Not to tittle-tattle so.

If you do a kindness
You cannot take it back.
It would be mindless,
To expect Tit for Tat.

The cat and the dog are wrangling
I see a paw hit the canine.
A row and now a tangling.
I put my bet on the feline.
My job is to see no mangling
and not one hit at all is fine.
The cat is now fandangoing
to put the big dog in line.

How did I get in the jumble?
I try to get out and I fumble.
Hit by the cat, I tumble.
Tit and tat is elemental.
I say to the cat, "be gentle"
It may be the dog is mental.

Premium Member Tit For Tat Don't Do That

Jon Stewart, sometimes host of The Daily Show ridicules Trump,
then dares jump to the other side and does the same to Biden.
His viewers won't buy that second one, all caterwauling,
You didn't warn me/them/us/they/he/she/vis or the xemeself
That you had intention to go rogue and do that tit for tat!
Go ahead and demean the Don, he's earned every bit of it,
But leave old Joe alone, he deserves our love and loyalty!

RAT a TAT TAT

Like a meteor shower
Hailing down from heights unknown
TRUTH bombs dropping every hour
Into a heart where WORD has been sown

Opening up new possibilities
Unimaginable til now
The VOID in every door jam
Beckoning rhythm to bow 

Sorrow and grief want to dance
With depression upon the back
Swing, two three, jump, and glide
Over the dip, missing the crack 

...where LOVE embraces lack

An old man walked into town at noon,
And met a fat-looking dangerous goon.

“Give me all your money”, the goon said, brisk,
“Or else your life’s at a very high risk".

The old man put on a very frightened look,
Took out his wallet, and gave it to the crook.

The thug then exclaimed, “I took you in for fun",
"I hadn’t any bullets - empty was my gun".

To that, the man said, "Yours isn’t any worse."
Mabye you should take a look inside my purse".
