Ezra Pound
Sing we for love and idleness,
Naught else is worth the having.

Though I have been in many a land,
There is naught else in living.

And I would rather have my sweet,
Though rose-leaves die of grieving,

Than do high deeds in Hungary
To pass all men’s believing.
Last night, I got kisses.
They weren't sweet kisses,
They weren't soft kisses.

They were sharp kisses,
They were swift kisses.
They were the kind of kisses that leave marks.

They were the kind of kisses that sting.
They were peppering kisses,
They were lightning kisses.

They were biting kisses,
They were a blade's kisses.
They were the kinds of kisses I regret.

They were the kinds of kisses that sting for days.
They were silver kisses,
They turned into red kisses.

They weren't my first kisses,
They weren't my last kisses.
Last night, I got kisses.
to tell the truth, i'm actually really fricking proud of this.

She is the lady on the road.

She is a mother, a sister, a colleague, a bird, a lassie, a damsel.
She is the lady on the road.

She spreads love and enriches kindness in the society,
She is the crux of an organization, and the fundamental principles.
She is the lady on the road.

She twinkles with the stars and shimmers with the moon,
She scampers with her pets and hops like a frog,
She is not a nomad, but a faithful keeper.
She is the lady on the road.

She wears short skirts,
She wears tight tops,
She doesn't encourage the flirts,
She neither abominates the leering of cops.
She is the lady on the road.

She holds a honourable reputation,
She forms the base of ethical standards,
She buries the grudges and resolves the dissension,
She consolidates herself and maintains her fettle,
She is the epitome of cheerful disposition.
She is the lady on the road.

She ignores the catcalls,
She endures the torture and prevails her morale,
She is a monument unshakable, and a stone unbreakable,
She dumps her burdens and enlightens her destiny,
She protects her dignity and negotiates with denunciation,
She does no harm, but deals with it.
She is the lady on the road, ..the seventh wonder of the world.
The women of a country are the colors of your flag.
Is it bad I don't educate myself?
I have desire for the books on the shelf
Yet I want others to read about me
It's  apparent I create my own irony
Hire me hire me I want them to see
What I have to say and what I want to do
Between me and you I have a lot to prove
Stick and move my writing rides on with the groove
Like the fads that entertain me and you
I'm trying to be as trendy but can't hit the viral brew
A concoction to spread like wild fire I desire
Kindled fire higher power fame lasting longer than an hour
Is it too much to ask? So much time has passed
It's when your dreams get up and start running you pursue
All those things you been searching for is right inside of you
Chasing down a dream is not always what it seems
A boulevard of broken in a world made of glass
Some things in life weren't made to last

The things that are you should hold on to for sure
The world ain't what it use to be anymore
Broken homes to broken bones hearts and such never left alone

We've all been through hell and back it's no place to be
A world we never talk about and refuse to admit what we see
Heaven on Earth isn't sounding so bad

They say spread your wings and fly away but some don't go as far
Struggling in life not with money but the simple crutch a car
No wheels to spin we're all sticks in the mud

Seek inspiration and refuge from yourself
Take the time to read the books on the shelf
You can see the world through others eyes
Just to see that the world is just one big clever disguise

It's not all bad, don't be sad, be happy with the fond memories you've had
One day you'll miss it
But what's the point of reminiscing while you're still in it?
