if you run away
from youth
unsafe you are
at 60 it will be there
waiting for you
to spoon-feed her
till stomach swells
at times with imagery...

Family
Happy, unified
Smiling, laughing, learning
Solid, safe, destroyed, demolished,
Crying, distancing, disconnecting,
Uncomfortable, unsafe
Divorce...

watch the body count grow
when tiny tots near the t.v.
turn and ask you: "Why?!" ....
check your gun, pet your shepherd,
lock your doors and watch them sleep...

When traffic is flowing at eighty,
that pedal had better get weighty.
And in case you don’t know
it's unsafe to go slow,
so get in the right lane there, matey!...

I have a secret
I keep my secret safe
For if I let my secret slip
My life would be unsafe
No one needs to know my secret
So I guess for now
I have to keep it
My secret...

and my heart with affections unsafe.
I can’t help but smile when I see your face.
You’re killing me with each and every embrace....

Horrid man in Walmart
Slobbering over a 16 year old girl 
Licking your teeth like a rabid dog about to make the kill
Your teeth are nonexistent
My panic is the opposite of your teeth...

A fool thought inside his head
His money's safe inside his bed
Until one day it's repossessed 
Now all his thoughts he regrets
But the new owners having fun
With the new "lottery" she's won...

1. 
alone, the boy cries
he is no longer loved
because he is gay

2. 
the hall is unsafe
punished in the name of god
he hides how he feels

3.
we hear on the news
of a suicide
who was there for him?...

Water: wonderful sustainer of life-

Always taken for granted- an epicenter of strife;

Trickling toxins make it unsafe-

Eventual Love Canals all over the place;

Remand the polluters to a healthy jail space!...

One day a dragon set out in flight;
Up towards New York, he did alight.
Landing in the middle of Times Square;
He quickly did become aware;
That some people he had scared;
Now his tail’s a tire tracked sight!

Recreational impact
Flows in all motions
Motives of demonic ways

The pact howls
Intuitive and unsafe
The pact howls
Daring to follow
The pact howls
It's time for the hunt

Motives to celebrate 
Whichever motion it flows
The recreational pact...

there 
the love 
masterly 
weaves 
the norm of cannon 
inside to outside!

oh the bruise of heart 
won't be cured 
cause outsider love unsafe!

subterranean worlds 
the royal palace of heart 
where love lives with free will!

Unsafe but no fear, numb is the lonely heart, 
Grief-stricken, engulfed with dejection, 
Pain merely a slender touch,
But senseless buds and frozen skin, 
And the soul lifeless ‘though breathing, 
Awaiting salvation certainly one day!

I drink a lot of water everyday 
More than the doctor's advice 
But in monsoon water is impure 
In summer water sources unsafe
I know, nothing purifies like spirit,
So I add my whiskey, just a shot,
In every glass of water I drink.
I of all will never take any risk....

Vulnerable
endangered unprotected
exsposed, unsafe, in peril
well protected resilient immune to
ungauarded prey susceptible
opened attacked
Invulnerable

I'm seeping back into that place,

That place in which it is unsafe.


This place that feels no sorrows,

but only hate.


No anger, only chafe.


I am seeping my soaking body into the puddle beneath the ground,

The puddle that is muddled with eerie pictures and thoughts of my dreary sounds....

Where have you gone, horrid man?
I cannot escape your invisible eyes
I am grateful for my sisters protection
Yet I still feel uneasy
Looking around corners before entering
Where have you gone, horrid man?
I am thankful for my past self for not wearing the skirt I chose 
The previous day...

The blue eyes turn into missiles
She is upset with me
I am her grandma
I have no right to say no

But I do not want her unsafe
She holds my heart in her tiny palm
She tries to get me to give in
I hold my ground

The pouting lip comes out
I cannot help the laughter
She looks exactly like her mother now...

Into the damp room things creep.
So, in it no one should sleep,
Young girls asked to do so weep,
Ruth awake all night: scared heap,
Thrice did fearfully leap,
A better room: an open jeep.

Into the vileroeom snakes slid:
Two short black ones there soon hid!
You don't ask "what inmate did."
Won't you room farewell bid?...

Wiser heart shalt thou prevail?
              Speak to me a thousand words of reason
            Bid me cling to those now fading thoughts
                Oh, guard mine wounded heart from 
           loves subtle snare in this unsafe hour!
               Alas, thine is a voice less loud 
             For love calleth and I am overwhelmed...
