"Is it better to speak or to die?!"
You speak of my future,
Dismissing my nature.
Yet, just for your suture
But what of the life I capture?
I continue to elaborate,
Still, you dominate.
The emotions I demonstrate,
You find ways to understate.
Can you hear my breakout,
Or do I have to shout?!
Right — to you I merely spout.
Will you listen when I’m snuffed out?
Officially, I can’t hear nature,
Not when you're an oppressive creature.
Will you ever nurture,
Before I make my departure?
i had a date to be born on this date
i can't understate, i just couldn't wait
it was my fate
my goal to gain weight
ain't that great
Sometimes that mimetolith is a fraud
Torturing on the murky face of you
I understate it so feels worthy
By my blood taking the plunge worthy
In the name of love I execute the fraud
A little bit pretentious just for you
I do paralyzing and took you
Sacrilege of fires and worthy
Is it natural love and how much is fraud?
I have always done fraud, you are so worthy
Time to move on the spirit has said,
we have finished our time in this fate,
and written in word, the pathway has lead,
the sadness I'll not understate... xox Don
Amazing how relevance comes and goes...
at some stage we are the all and everything,
and then later the illusion fades till we become virtual strangers ....
How relationships affect the psyche
xox
thank you Debbie Duncan
Karma, sow to reap etc ...My first wife was a bad mistake, i discover years later her Great grandmother was my Great Grandfathers sister. They say we come back into the same families, to work out Karma. perhaps I did!
Sometimes I shiver
Like a hummingbird
My open heart races
With anticipation
I open and flutter
Tingling sensations
Transformed inspiration
Powerful ocean waves
Erode weak defenses
The best of intentions
Mysterious ways
Quietly understate
Depths of perception
The way we connect
And communicate
The absence of words
The invisible hands
Soft crust of desire
Warmed by the fire
Glowing for hours
As good as it gets.
You think you can get it
straight
You just can't get it right
Your goals lost sight
Failure is an understate
There's not much you can do
You try another angle
A force is against you
On a thread you dangle
You reach;you hold on
To any thing stable
You pull yourself up
And cause a disrupt
Every action has a reaction
Ever number a fraction
When you lift yourself up in
that fashion
There is a subtraction
You take life from what you
grasp onto,seal it with a kiss
You couldn't handle what you
had to do,taking was not your
wish
You just wanted to be ok
You never thought you would
hurt people this way
rare moments of emotional exploration
indefinable spaces between the words in a conversation
warm with feelings found in romance or those realms & aspects of
physical love,
but owing up to neither,
just pleasures within a context of pleasure
brought to the hilt
for the sake of the hilt &
all fetishes deemed glorious
all secret wants & needs specific to each human being
frolic in each weird little world
until they bump into another who shares the same &
in that collision,
the explosion stands for itself,
but these precious, unique events
find themselves pummeled with moral contusions,
times when a third party denounces the thrills of
two individuals
who between themselves have done nothing to harm anyone
who want to bring no attention
(unless exhibition is your spice of the day)
to the ways in which they get off &
instrinsically,
the ways that they have been brought together---
to say it’s a shame would be to largely understate the problem,
for in this day & age
some still think that their self-righteous nature
allows them to condemn the lifestyles of others
because they might not be of their own specific
fancy.
