Iron-spined advocate
Raised you with discipline
Unyielding.
Young mama rises in opposition
Big Momma stood solid-
Tough love that felt mean
But-
Built one unbreakable.
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
re: Dr Ram "A Lady Hamlet"
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
The world's offer is tough love
But GOD'S love is patient
And it's kind
The world screams
You really need to grow up
While GOD says
You'll always be a child of mine
The world has conditions on it's love
Love and hate embrace
Then intertwine
GOD'S love is unconditional
Perfect real and true
Real love is not that hard to find
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'...
tough love
some say it is the best way
so they toss their child out with the trash
she climbs back in the window
huddles under her blankets
praying you won’t find her
you do not feel guilty
you do not care
you are a parent who is stressed and strapped
for forty-six years you have coddled her
working three jobs whereas she has had none
whose fault is this?
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.
Form:
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
From J.Torrente
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
I am here..To rip up any carefully concocted notions.' To stamp on obcenitys' and dis-abuse all and
Sundry of sepia toned views, of
Disgusting historical humans who
Have been hitherto venerated as
Almost God.? If not as replacements'
Indeed I will rip the rose tinted glasses
From your very noses ' And trample on
Your toes'es.' In order to wake you up.'
As indeed all heaven knows'es.)
And thats just for starters'
So help me God.!
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.
