Bid on my love so I many breathe again
For your caress may wash away the pain!

Love Is Not the Goal-Happiness Is

Through the window, 
I see my life
and the love I have for you wash away. 
I love you but we cannot stay 
bigger powers than us at play.

Yet We Live

Yet we breathe the air
Yet we drink the water
Yet we still kill ourselves
From the day we are born we are dying
Wash away the sins of paradise

Waterfall

I gazed into the waterfall
Until the running water was all I saw
I let the river wash away
Everything I could not change
And now I feel
Better

Rain and Snow

it comes down
there snow  on ground
some time stick
you you slide quick
can be a pain
than  to wash away
before there more
become
RAIN AND SNOW

After the Snow Fall

its a thing
that brings
love not pain
on the windor pane
you see the stain
so we  let the drips from the wall
wash away all
AFTER THE 
SNOW FALL

Quiet

Let us quiet the roar of our mind with temples pressed  soft against thought 
with hands folded nicely together let us wash away everything that needs blot

Premium Member Wash Away Thoughts

The sun leaves today
For the rain to come and play
To water the land
As it will cool off the air
Wash away thoughts, for new ones

Rainy days

I have no problem
having a little rain in my life 
for it helps to wash away life's troubles. 
So let it rain I'm Okay 
just like a kid 
I'll jump in the puddles.

Premium Member Shampoo and Soap

  
    If shampoo and soap 
      could wash away
    the sins I may commit today

    I’d stand for hours
      beneath a shower
    Anything so as not to pray

Always want to be in God's favor;
Know His son is my Lord and savior;
Wash away sin;
Won't do again;
Will be in heaven with Them forever.

Premium Member What If

One quick blow
One tormenting moment
A taste of the pain I’d know
Should I ever lose you
What bitter poison
To wash away
From my lips

For I, who have brought winter on our world,
Whose fists in bloods of innocents have curled,
Do not propose to live but for the day
That something of my past, I wash away.

The Real Worth of Beach Front Property

Oh sweet ocean waves
Lap onto my beach
Wash away all the filth
Your white tips can reach

Dig in with a force
That few understand
Return all the purity
Of youth to my sands

Of Raindrops

Raindrops
On tin rooftops 
Wash away dirt and dust 
And broken gutters make a nice
Shower

Raindrops
On tin rooftops 
Encore of happiness 
Children splashing on flooded lawns
Rejoice

Premium Member Only Memories Are Permanent

As I paint a keepsake rock with my brush-style permanent markers,
I think of how the marks soon enough wash away off of my skin,
Just as his beautiful love for me was not permanent.

Premium Member Sapphire

A sapphire
is the inner ocean of one
who uses the strong waves
to wash away the worst sins
of all people
and eternally forgive as those sins
sink to the bottom of that abstract sea

Acid Rain

My dark deeds
Of shame and filth,
My coward confessions
of cupidity and sin,
My redblooded eyes
Murders of innosense,
Yahweh! to you I cry,
Wash away my stains
Pour some acid rain.

Here To Stay

Unwanted 
His touch 
Tracing my skin
Wouldn’t wash away
Here to stay
Burning water couldn’t wash it away
Forever with me
A part of me 
Outling my life
Changed
Misunderstood 
Alone

Premium Member too little too late

the pulse of humanity
shudders in throbbing pain
meanwhile muffled cries of hopelessness
await redemption as tears of time
may possibly wash away
man's devastation
