Monthly Poetry Contest

I lay in bed at dawn, after a long day of pleasing another
My enthusiasm, my thirst for knowledge, has been truly given a smother
My legs...

Beauty is not based on gorgeous features,
And lovely appearances isn’t a contest,
But you feel great when well-groomed.

The pedals of creation, are falling over me...
I take a look at my prison, and realize I've been set free...
no more heartache no more pain...

The Cosmo Coward
Desecrates my Doggies’ dirge
With only one star
I have one thing just for you
Aptly pictured above...

Time-untimely, seeping-spilling crawling saline drop,

Your memories are boats...

It's your radiant beauty
The very essence of you
Your strength, your resilience
Always shining through
The intrinsic nature...

Broken flowers penetrating rifles with upside down Flags welcoming childish War... terrifying screams of a family in pain as our government delivers...

A memory unrecalled  and  dim to dark,
a passing thought of forgotten laughter.
Sublime recall of nothing  of consequence
and no...

Don’t worry my Brother Nico, I’...

When this love presented itself it was not anticipated.
At your mesmeric entrance, I did know not to hesitate.
I embraced a contrasting...

You lighten me up,

Placing me in the wonderful cup.
Having different thoughts in mind you used me,
But as u know i am always kind....

It does not seem credible that I should end up here.
My life was the tragic case of struggle and volatility.
I had dreams but all hope...
