Will You Withstand The Storm With Me?
Fear and shame
Gripping at my veins
Are we both
Feeling the same?
Doubt clouds
My memory
Of the love
That we shared
Do we both
Feel the same
Outside forces
Bring a consistent
Storm
The clouds bruised
Looming over us
Our new ceiling
Lightning flashes
Thunders crack
Epp! Will you hold
Me & protect me
Through this storm?
Do you have a rain coat
To get through it?
Dance & kiss me
Sweetly through it?
Or will you run

Prejudice
Slime is a subtle stage for blame I can’t stay stuck to your ways/
I’m a little vague so your game I’ll ante up to plague/
While a tirade goes for their bane they played and waged/
I’ll abrogate woes to lurk away more straight/
Compile and appropriate foe’s to contain your plate/
The trial of a pirate goes on

Trust Dust Withstand Death
All that we accomplish for ourselves perish with us; all that we do for others and the realm endures. Fear of the path leads to fear of death. A person who is truly alive is prepared for death. By Poet
It shrouds its swabbing aspect below a smut mask
The flip verge, loaded with fear, is enticing

What I Am Able To Withstand
How many voices can I withstand?
Counting the days like the clock on my hand.
As panic creeps up and away.
Panic I resign myself to as it threatens to keep hope at bay.
Voices dust me and salt my pain.
As the night churns on, I abstain.
From the crying, that will only bloom this

I Withstand Three Orgasms
I withstand three orgasms with no pissed
But it is the limit - and only then,
I knocked the neighbor's wall with a fist
And demanded the activity end.

Lies To Withstand
Journalistic integrity…
give me a break
Your lies are on fire,
there’s hell at the gate
Journalistic integrity,
the wages of sin
All truth has been twisted,
your speech has worn thin
Journalistic integrity,
oxymoron disclosed
Two words now in conflict,
their corruption exposed
Journalistic integrity,
death by your own hand
All blame you relinquish

The Graveyards Withstand Heavy Storms
A few days ago
A thunderous storm
Attacked my city
And reduced
Trees and structures
To bits and pieces
It has uprooted
Numerous homes and
Countless plants
It has destroyed
The lives of people
Who have lived under trees
And on platforms
Along with their
Simple dreams and hopes
While I observed
The heavy ruins of
This witchy strike,
My eyes fell upon
A roadside graveyard
With

I Must Embrace the Foe, For Who Can Withstand Him
Oh reality! Strike true and fast upon this soul, which flies free on the wings of imagination, soaring high and unbound above the uncharted land of dreams that has no end.
Oh harsh reality! Brake upon my revelries like waves upon the rocks, which shatter my hopes and, crash upon my islands of wishes.
Oh sad reality!

Let Love Withstand
On wings of promise,
We hold hands,
On things of premise,
Let's understand,
Thus to endure,
Let's share a plan,
Thus to nurture our future...
Let love withstand.
