An aborrent force,
Tugging, twisting, and tearing,
Ripping us to shreds,
As we are also compacted.
Made to mesh and solidify,
Until we are naught but one singular whole.

A lexical set or a rule of three
Rhyming words or an analogy.
Iambic pentameter or just free verse
Acrostic, nostalgic without a rehearse.  

Pathetic Fallacy with cloud and rain
Feelings on a page without restrain.
A ballard, a couplet a villanelle or two
AA BB it's up to you.

Personification with trees that moan
Onomatopoeia with frogs that groan.
Similes slither like a snake in sand
Metaphor branches are our hands.

Alliteration angels always await
Sitting on the symbolic gate.
Assonace with early birds and worms
Writing it all in poetry terms.

The vision intrudes,
  stealing ink from my pen

A thief in the night,
—leaving words that portend

A warning’s been given,
   its mantle thrown down

But truth will speak over,
—what darkness avows

I see your green pastures
Coming back to life
Hear birds singing
The woodpecker moves
To the beat of the tree
Springtime has arrived

The waters rush fierce
Moving fish in its current
Leaves slowly returning
The building blocks of life
Arching over like a tunnel
Springtime has arrived

Water droplets fall off the rocks
Creating miniature rivers
Leading to roaring waters
A stream that flows with life
Washing away my cares
Springtime has arrived

Man made beasts
Move through the paths
Post hibernation
Breathing fresh air
And little ones following closely behind
Springtime has arrived

Went hiking with my son for the first time this season. This is what we saw, heard and felt.

All my
Is
Who I am
Not bad for me

Tick, tick and tick
My all is everything
In which I rise
Above the mountains

Times will be lesser
Of the decade
To decide everything
In between the horizons

Stars gotta fall down
Without the use of memory
In which I think all my
Is
Life

Oh how wonderful words are.
They can empower, they can uplift, they can entertain giving someone the courage to attain their dreams.
Oh how powerful words are.
They can cut deep, they shatter dreams killing one's ambition to never achieve.

Greed the **** of Lust stands before her with an outstretched hand and ask

"Where is my currency?"

Lust reached into her pocket and gave Greed the gold bills.

"Greed you act like you don't trust me" said Lust.

"Lust you are my wife and the ***** who I ****.  We are a couple that were wedded in darkness.  Trust you?  I do but not a hundred percent.  I'm all about wealth and power and you're attracted to wealth and power.  You're going to be taking a shower in wealth and power" said Greed.

"I'm going to see to it that you keep your word Greed.  We may have been wedded in darkness but we are still husband and wife.  You're great with currency and I see your willingness to obtain your goals.  You promised to put power in my hands and lay riches at my feet.  Remember that" said Lust.

Ma Cherie
He loves her in the morning,
an he loves her in the night
when she is far away from him,
or very near in sight,
her eyes are his eyes too you know,
he sees her -
his delight,

He loves the shape of her body,
her **** curves
and how she move,
as she dances around
the living room,
an as she gets into the groove,
he hopes maybe later
her clothes he will remove,

He loves her sense of humor,
that smile -so beguiling,
she is so unique an rare to him,
in jeans an T -
so stylin,

He doesn't mind a scar or two,
she's a lady-who is tuff,
she is a little rugged- true,
not often into fluff,
she's not one so concerned with few,
too many material things an stuff,

Everyday with her,
a blessing-
yes, this is what he said,
he loves her every bit of her,
until he goes to bed,
and then he remembers quick,
an suddenly the dread,

Knowing that the morn' will come
as her gypsy feet may roam,
an so he turns- to plead of her,
please make my heart your home,
never should you wander far,
or ever be alone,

plant a stake an take a chance,
deep in ****** loam,

I love you so- do you not know?

Only love that's wonderful,
how you feel I mean,
but I could not know of this,
you kept me in between,

I only wished to love you,
and for you to love me back,
and accept the problems "we" have,
not see some things that I lack,
