Premium Member No Price Too Great

made choices in life
based on my integrity
refusing to sell
my soul
my dignity

at the end of each day
looking in the mirror
defiantly proud to a fault

for that freedom

Premium Member He Thinks He Owns the Joint

  
     Fastidious to a fault
       Precise to a point
     My accountant thinks
        he owns the joint

     Yet he forgets, so easily
        how he got his job
     My customers pay his salary
        though from them he’d steal and rob

Premium Member Morning Glow

After we had
spent the
night together,
slept in
each others arms
morning came
and with it
I saw 
your face
amidst the light
with a glow
beyond compare
iridescent
to a fault
with a wry smile ---
revealed to me
that among
all the chaos
you were content

Premium Member Goodness From Within

Transparent she is
Open almost to a fault
Or is she merely mystical?

Does her spirituality allow her to be transparent
She has no walls or defenses
Love is her weapon

It is more than enough
Plants and animals unfold at her approach
Seeing the goodness from within

Medical genius 
Paracelsianism
Iconoclastic for sure
Ignorance he couldn’t halt.

Premium Member A Kindled Fire


A kindled fire...

Keeps on burning 
Inside of me 
Never will it extinguish
Despite all forces against it;
Lingering fuel for determination.
Even I can't smother or 
Dim it to a smoke.

Floods furiously rage within, yet 
It keeps on high and steady; 
Resilient to a fault; undying...
Even in the rain.

Premium Member Princess Bren

She was spirited and happily gay.
Her hair never turned one single bit gray.
I never met her but the old folks say,

Truthful to a fault; they were all amazed.
Commoners adored her. She was well-praised.
Confidence bordered on one who is crazed.

Every girl wanted to be as pretty.
Princess Bren could write a ditty.
And her humor was insanely witty.

Classic Grumblings

The piano grumbled at his touch,
Playing fortissimo on command...
Nerves of steel snapping a string.

Ambitious to a fault, practicing the night into alarm,
Lizst spilled from the printed page
Like sour milk for a feral cat.

As he rose from the bench, music in hand,
An audible whispered relief rustled the curtains
And silence cradled the grateful room.

Premium Member So spake simple Simon

The mind is confused but heart understands
how we may discern between good and evil,
joy occurring when our consciousness expands,
whilst cravings of ego cause an upheaval.
Keep it simple dear souls, embrace and release,
in nonchalance flowing like the morning breeze,
treading gently on earth, valuing life’s worth,
generous to a fault, heart bubbling with mirth.
Form: Rispetto

Premium Member Lizzy

loyal to a fault and so much more
than just another canine
leading an exemplary life

eager to be by our side
doing her utmost best
always willing to serve

no whining or whimpering
ready for adventure
keen at every turn

eager to please and fiery
dauntless and ever vigilant
never shying away from love

Premium Member Tough Old Bird

Tenacious on occasion. Orderly always. Unspoiled by opinions of others. Generous to a fault. Honesty is his only policy. Outperforms what is expected. Longing for Heaven. Decisiveness is a strong point. Backbone shows in the face of adversity. Ideas that solves problems he owns. Receptive to the opinions of others. Downhill is now his direction of flight.

Given

It's hard to find space
To think in this crowded place
I dont mind hangin' around
I just prefer to be alone 

Its no secret
I cant stand people
But I keep every little thing
That's ever been given to me

Cause I'm deeply sentimental 
And kind to a fault
You can take what you want
My heart gets it all

It's only a matter of time
Before I get whats coming to me
A brand new better world
For you and I
Form: Lyric

Love Supernatural

Dearest Holy Spirit,

I'm grabbing this moment/medium
to tell you before the whole world
how so Dearly I LOVE YOU 
More than words can express
You share the deepest part of Me,MY SOUL
You Love me to a Fault
You are the one for me
My Best Friend,
My ever Present Paraclete,
I'll LOVE You till when finally
I can see you with my eyes in Heaven.


                                   Love,
                 Your Mortal Darlin'.

Death Cannot Kill You, Dear Mother

soft-spoken & fair woman 
with much assurance to every child
her fair heart tallied with her colour
for hers was a fair pigmented skin
generous & kind to a fault
a face with ever-beaming smile
she lived one angel on this horizon
mother badaiki, loved by all
hers was a love-bound heart
when was she angry? when frowning? 
’tis the hardest to say she lived for us
mother badaiki, loved by all -
& death cannot kill you, dear mother!

Premium Member Mother

Generous to a fault,
stubborn as a mule;
a bit older than dirt
but as a general rule-

we treasure your smile,
love your sense of humor;
we applaud your *****
and we've spread the rumor-

that in your younger days
you ate fatback and greens
and could wield a switch 
that made us shoot our beans.

In spite of all the memories
and recurring nightmare scenes,
we're proud to call you Mom
and glad we've got your genes.

Seeing her

She is unobtainable because of social concepts.
Friendly to a fault, not hers.
She cannot hide her beauty,  though she tries.
She seems to fight the attention 
and doesn't seem to desire it.

To say she's an old man's fancy is to admit my feelings.
But, i will not lie to myself.
I just would like to see her acknowledge that i respect her.
That would be enough for me.
Until then seeing her smile and happy placates my whims.

Rings And Things

If you want to participate in the pool events at the Olympic rings you literally have to be right in the swim of things and you really ought to be on top of things if the balance beam is your sport or if it's high jump hurdles or pole vault you should get over them to a fault the Olympic rings were created giving athletes wings by Charles Pierre de Frédy Baron de Coubertin dubbing him 'Lord of the Rings'
