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

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.
Form: Acrostic

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 vigilent
never shying away from love

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.
Form: Rhyme

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 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.

Premium Member No Price Too Great

Made choices in life
Based on my integrity
Refusing to sell
My soul my dignity
Standing tall
At the end of each day
Looking in the mirror
Defiantly proud to a fault
No price too great 
To pay
For freedom

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.

Premium Member Silence Is Not Golden

Along with Church and State
it is increasingly obvious
that Education must share
the same taboo (Ignorance
planted in fertile minds
will grow, and in short time
such evil will show throughout
a culture and its government)

Youth has no voice
other than those it is given--
easy prey for a Union
of Educators who have
lost all Moral Compass
and Honorable Spiritual 
directives, while the good 
teachers remain silent
to a fault….

Premium Member Intuitive Considerate

Intuitive.
I am honest to a fault, overly sensitive, tough as nails and dependable.
I have two stepsisters, a half-brother and half-sister.
I love birds, antiques and old houses.
I feel anticipation, frustration and happiness.
I fear spiders, being misunderstood and being totally alone.
I would like to see more kindness in the world, no more abuse, no wars.
Resident of a cold northern place.

Premium Member Sifting Sad Shadows From the Past

Flour, baking powder, sugar, salt
must be integrated smoothly, to a fault
if what is baked will turn out good
keeping it all in proportion, as one should

"Sifting sad shadows from the past"
to aerate lighter memories that will last
helps break down the bigger lumps
of those times feeling down in the dumps

Having a memory a bit more like a sieve
may not be such a bad way to live
introspection shakes up, softens time
laughing later-- adds a hint of lime
