Our family

Submitted by loved on Sun, 2013-10-27 13:34

Family is all today
a small fragmented part in society
still continues to together stay

all others are friends
who lisp...
who except a loved one will ever kiss
a one fading into oblivion...
hoping one may stay with love and affection..
if it comes ones way
you are lucky
that I must say
New York still welcomes you
till this day

Lift me Up..tell me good news!

Submitted by Rula on Sun, 2013-10-27 11:19

Tell me about a happy child who
with love and for love grows.
Tell me about a place
where grace rules,
where mercy fills up hearts
of the young and the old ,
where greediness and
poverty are mere words,
where no one shelters the
Man to Man abuse and
the wound won't scar
nor shall the bruise.

Childhood memories,
played to an afternoon rain
while rainbow watching.

Anger (catalectic dactylic tetrameter)

Submitted by wesley snow on Fri, 2013-10-25 18:51

What shall we say of man’s anger that’s true?
Natural instinct it’s not spite the claim
leveled by science with nary a clue.
Psychoanalysis proffers a name.
Yet, all the while not assigning it here.
Anger is nothing but rank genic plague
wrought long ago in agrarian fear.
Let me be far more succinct and less vague.

Passion and Obsession

Submitted by loved on Fri, 2013-10-25 16:07

Two extremities of emotion
one is passion
another obsession…
both end up in disaster
of those who live
in infatuation
utterly consumed...

know the difference
between love,
thirst and thrust
the ultimatum of any union…
ardent love

an extreme desire
of a complex communion
an imagination
of final orgasm
as an ultimate culmination…

what then of obsession
tis psychotic in condition
absolutely mental
an aberration of mind
desire, thought and action…

One Flesh

Submitted by Lamar Ingraham on Fri, 2013-10-25 11:03

Baby, we are one flesh,
Truly, we are man and wife;
Baby, we are one flesh,
The best ministry in my life.

I am so captivated by your love,
Baptized in the sea of God's favor;
Each morning to see who I dreamed of,
Beside me, answers my every prayer.

Let me rejoice in you, your worth,
Because you are my sacred crown;
You are my blessing here on earth,
Dubbed in new passion for holy ground.

Poetically speaking

Submitted by loved on Thu, 2013-10-24 15:30

Beautiful expression as always
it's a delight to read
your creative imagination
through poetic version

one worthy of consumption…
like a pure glass of red wine …
in cut glasses crystal fine
add, savor to the flavor
like poetry does
yours….

triumph
over
falling in a smouldering arc
the black dark realm

a glean of warm
stretchs
through
the darkest wretch
to find
the rarest rare

wounded
in stasis
like Love
hated and feared

wanted
in a reviled
fixture

the caress
of it
running
in its mixture

but the darkness
is moving
sweeping
up
like a gulf
a vortex
like lust
and
borne
with a might

truimph
over

love

Spending Some Time With Me Dad!

Submitted by mand on Thu, 2013-10-24 11:44

When I spent time with me dad,
I tell no fibs, this is what I had!
On day one, he gave me on a plate
A chicken salad “out of date”.

It’s the truth! I tell no lies,
I tried to conceal my bulging eyes
when he presented me with this grub,
slopped out of a hot sweaty tub.

I tried to suppress a yuck!
upon seeing the mountain of muck.
“eat up”, he said, with a toothless grin
“come on, now, it’s time to tuck in”.
