She wouldn't allow me to enter her sanctum,
Due to my affliction entitled kindness
For she wanted tough love
A touch of insanity and a pinch of absurdness,
Kindness was my weakness
Never mind my apparent strengths...

He cheats on me with video games,
Cuts out my voice with music;
The clothes all over the house,
But I'm the one who cleans;
Dishes fill the sink,
They just sit and wait for me;
Just because I said I do?
Level up chump! Tough Love!...

We need to teach the youths 
On how to succeed 
Build them up with courage and dignity 
So they can prosper and take heed 
Tough love may be on display 
Because we want them to do their best 
Encourage them to stay on the right path 
And aim for excellence...

Country songstress
Poetic charm,
All I hope for,
Is for no harm,
To come to my Christy,
Mother with love,
Forced to wear,
A tough love-glove

The "GoodNight Moon" mistress
My friend, for sure,
I hope and pray,
Much good fortune
Will be yours forevermore...

Hugs and kisses
The title of his misses
A bond that we strengthen together
Being able to make it through whatever
Then comes that day 
When you love no more
Tears running down your cheeks
I think I just missed a heartbeat
Heartache 
Heartbreak
This tough love 
I can't take anymore....

Tough love is on display
Because, the child has been lead astray
Following the wrong crowd
And sadly, wasting her life away
Both parents are in a state of worry
They just want their child back
Words of encouragement have been given
Hopefully, she will move towards the right track...

the balance stick,
am i the joke,
stop you on the middle stroke,
cut you short bloody quick,
hold you close, give you the flick,
tough love the voice does croak,
between those thighs betwixt,
sandlewood the smoke,
here loving thoughts exist,
i hope...:}    Don

You don't need a listener,
let your heart muscles
pound out
a blind-folded poem.

Practice hand to hand combat
with your unlettered soul
until it lays down defeated.

Marshal the words,
articulate their fractured forms.

in the dark, wake up
the light,
it is your next unwritten page,
destroy its blank face....

She will always be there 
She has the voice to encourage and inspire 
Your mother may have passed on 
But, she is still there to motivate and push you to reach higher 
She often showed tough love 
Because, she wanted you to do your best 
She showered you with unconditional love 
And never allowed you to settle for less...

Are the Angel's feathers double dipped,
quills of gold but bloody tipped...
is wrath upon the many unknowing,
going,showing unhealthy stowing...
ungracious of the promised precious,
only looking for their next delicious...

Tough love,may be a reminder
fellows once,can be,fellows again
if only to feel,and then remember,
a part of the whole begins within'......

Rain passes through quenching the thirst of the parched dry lands.
Lightning flashes and thunder crashes as God clinches his hands.
For he has grown wreary of his creations' greed.
Turning his back on the population. Ignoring the cries during their time of need.
He can't stand to watch as we indure his punishment.
Tough love now will save many on the day of judgment....

Support is not enabling, 
support is not giving in; 
Support is not giving up; 

Support is so damn hard,
support  is tough love;
Support is knowing 
when to say ‘Enough’;

Support is sharing a cup, 
support is ignoring static; 
Support is healthy boundaries;

Support of this mindset 
does not give you a villain’s heart;
Support is not becoming 
laziness’s counterpart....

Throughout life there will be many lessons
Others have come through so will you too
Until that moment we won't learn how too
Giving up it might seem the easier option
How will we learn if we don't even try it

Learning it's one of the key of living our life
Once we know those lessons are learnt
Vulnerability it's a sign of strength we learn
Everything that we face can be overcomed...

How difficult it is to pursue
A moral code that seems so trite
For a young son whose modes are new
Insisting his thoughts are alright
When a bold mind creates a fight.

But the choice to stand by my will
And show reason to discipline
With tough love, I claim and instill
That harmful friends are not life's win;
And praying our bond won't crack, as kin.



Hard Choices Contest by Dr. Ram Mehta

Have I turned to see your beautiful 
metal stiff body, that shines through
the rivers of thoughts, I've seen you before.
Entered and broken picture with no frame
multidimensional portrait of my future lady
thousand years and soulless time machine.
Bring me back to you am I just a fool,
for loving you, the flower has died,
frozen ground and tough love, your garden,
enter the mirror, leave your figure, timeless death.

I tried to give you all my love
But that for you was not enough

I wanted you to love me to
But I just never ever knew
Did you or didn’t you

I tried to give you all my love
I know now that was far too tough

Although it took a while for me to read the clue
I am glad there is no more me or you

Far better to live my life alone 
Than spend it bowing at your throne

I tried to give you all my love
But enough was enough

DAMO...

Our bodies collided in the moonlight 
Lying under him memories held my mind hostage. 
As I looked up and saw his face
He was watching over me.
The feeling of his touch 
Leaves me cold and motionless. 
As he took back control again. 
Telling myself it’s just a dream
No matter how real it may seem. 
He is just a figment of my imagination. 
And he cannot hurt me. 
My true love lies next to me
As we make love one more time
My memories are far behind. ...

to loose you keep
severing me this tough love
because i 
will never refuse it i will keep 
running to it...

A pure heart to love me right, could you
Hold me close when I'm down, would you
Whisper words which make me melt, should you
Never leave when times are tough, love you

With every breath that you take, could I 
Stand by your side when your ill, would I
Hold a place within my heart, should I
Say I need you here with me, love I 

If you answered yes to these, then we
Have a chance in this life, can we
Finally meet with loving smiles, or we
Will only be what's in our hearts, lonely...
