LIFE AND LOVE

Life can be unbearable - love can make life much more tolerable
With the mate of your choice you can rejoice - just believe

Tolerable

No dreams
Only fantasies
In the bed of insecurity

No vision
Eyes open
But not to see

You’re just a reflection
In-sightless
Incapable.  Incomprehensible.
Tolerable.

Hold me now
Take away my feelings
Sway me. Save me.

Premium Member Spitters Are Quitters

Always salty and usually bitter
help encourage the spitter —
still better than the wonts
and those dreaded donts —
saved by the tolerable quitter.

The Times Tolerable

Nothing occurred before
nor after this time
of a streetlamp burning
on avenues untraveled

At the heart of my question
is the thing I die to ask
too much for my tongue
far too often timid

If one minute the world is cruel
only to warrant ennui
the ensuing is absurd
familiar as an old joke

To a Tolerable Degree

To a tolerable degree.

 The boards are bored. 

The buzz has left the bee 
The salt has left the sea 
The creak has left my knee 
The shrill has left my plea. 

The smell has left my pee 
The sugars left my tea 
The ball has left the tee. 

My laugh has lost its glee 

It is not right.

Premium Member The Evil Place I Remember

Evil spit its ugly face into this place.
Lighting was less than tolerable.
A feeling of ominousness paraded into my heart instantly
I don’t like it here, I whispered to my companion.
But she was gone.
Who knows what took her?
I never found out
And this was October 14th, 1975.
I have never returned.

Naughty,Naughty Boys!

Are'nt boys childish,downright escapist?
Feigning gentleness,humour,innocence.
Justifying kind,loving mollycoddling,
Now on parents:qualities rare,
Surely tolerable....using visible words....
Xcacerbated,yammerous ---Zany!

Lost To Time

A voice that’s been lost to time,
Yet still ever-present in this mind of mine.
Its resonance seems fresh to my ears,
Merely this ushers forth a multitude of tears.

How can such a plenty of years not lessen
Or wear thin the fabric of recollection 
To make this old loss seem more tolerable,
This all seems so inexorable.

Premium Member Tolerable Shape

Said a cocky old gentleman from Kent Whose mind was like irreparably bent “I’m in tolerable shape But I look like an old ape, My bumper is shriveled, my fender bent."

Premium Member Jimmy Was An Only Child

Jimmy was an only child
Henrietta’s only son
She had built him up
Lavished him with praise
Told him how handsome he was
He had always believed it
There was nothing humble about him
This had cost him two wives and several jobs
He was trying to be more down-to-earth
He is still fighting self-vanity
But he is almost tolerable now

Premium Member Same Old Song Redanced

When singing a splendid solo
in a public place
becomes a political act,

When dancing a diva duet
in your Mama's political space
becomes a barely tolerable act
for economic and politically powerful co-developers,

Then opportunities for communion
have devolved into too uncivil communities
for cooperative eco-social resilience.

Premium Member Intercessions

No Lies

The days are never long
And the nights never feel wrong
Life has come together
Like the lyrics of a song

To be honest I feel incredible
It’s a nice break from the terrible
Now I see why life is tolerable
To you I never lied, I hope its honorable

I guess you never lied
Life is a crazy ride
Everything you ever wanted
Is in everything you haven’t tried.

Random Thoughts *3* the Etheree

Work,
Trying
to succeed
in life's grand scheme.
Bills always out-weigh,
leaving me close to none.
I work hard for what I have,
electronics, toys for grown men.
Work is tolerable;.......... but mini
vacations help maintain my sanity..........

what have we done
for glaciers to melt so fast
for forest fires to flare so often
for tornadoes to rage so strongly

for flash floods to recur time and again

Humble

Think humble,
No need to mumble,
Try not to stumble,
Have less trouble,
Venture out of your bubble.

Kind acts double,
Fun enable,
Guilt less affordable.

Face now likable,
Smiles more suitable,
Hugs renewable.

Mind stable,
Mistakes limitable,
Mirror charitable.

More than one friend contactable,
Life better than tolerable,
Grudges forgettable.

Revenge unthinkable.

Premium Member Stop Thinking

Sure life is a disappointment, but is it menial?
Salvageable? Palpable? Tolerable?
My brain waves are pondering this.
I am not a philosopher or anything,
yet here I am, thinking again.
Stop thinking! Society tells me.
Follow the status quo.
I am making up my mind.
Let me have a minute.
Life is menial for sure. 
I am menial.
You are menial.
Oops.
Sorry.
Did not mean you, Mom!

Premium Member He Aint Prickly Hes My Brother

He ain’t prickly, he’s my brother I said.
Full of quills though, right? Asked my neighbor Fred
Not awful, tolerable actually, cushy even,
This was thrown in by my best friend Steven.

You mean you ride on his back? A little one queried.
Yes I said, and I am not one bit worried.
He is young, so his quills are not intolerable yet.
I am not fearful at all, for these things I don’t fret.

Premium Member COMMON SENSE CUM IQ

       IQ less powerful.
       Common sense more active.
       Apply common sense in performance.

       Callousness also appears so often.
       Common sense more important.
       IQ less powerful.

      Less IQ tolerable.
      Zero common sense unbearable.
      Common sense more active.

     Culture common sense.
     in journey of life.
    Apply common sense in performance.

Premium Member Hello Grandpa

What do you like about him? Her father asked.
He’s got a great smile, she said, sheepishly.
There was a giggle too, a tiny one.

He seems like a knucklehead to me, a dunce.
You have to get to know him, she told him.
I will try, he lied.

He had already seen enough of this guy.
a know-nothing, do-nothing.
he was not tolerable until their first child was born.
In one instant, he was brilliant.
Hello Grandpa

The Poet's Always Little Careless

The poet's always little careless
He's not so neat, he isn't shaved,
He's dreaming, he's serene, he's labelless,
He speaks too much, it's not so great.
His soul is frail, it can be wounded,
It's easy to disturb his rest,
But you're not tolerable, do it,
Blow pain with rhyme, my wanted guest,
I love you I won't let excuses,
I love you so, my proud lass,
Amorous fever gives abuses
and torments sweet in heavy breath.

I Changed Myself To Make You a Better Person

I'm struggling to succeed and leave a name
anyone can admire and easily remember...  
when I'm no longer alive, but in a cold grave. 


All have seen a sweeter, kinder image of me:
generous, compassionate and tolerable...
but nobody has ever discovered the real me.


I changed myself to make you a better person;
I didn't make sacrifices to step in front of the line...
never thought of earning affection and admiration.

Premium Member Chaos and Order- Tormented

My head hurts really bad, it's much turmoil in my mind
I don't know what’s real or fake, I long for peace
Some days I’m really scared like someone is chasing me 
Everything is jumbled and mixed up, I want to be free

 I take what the doctor prescribed and I wait
It takes a while for me to feel somewhat better
When it kicks in my life is tolerable, it has order

Premium Member Morning Senryus

the first sip of espresso
  jolts awake the taste buds
     then the rest of me follows

book and coffee on the deck
   watching the deer dine
      sunshine makes this day sublime

dressed for success on day off
    bare feet and blue jeans
        relaxation is the goal

my life is nearly perfect
  loneliness sneaks in
      soul mate is still M.I.A.
 
summer sun envelops me
   the breeze in the trees
     helps keep it tolerable
