I exist to assist
To guide to light
To stop the fist,
And expel the fight.

I set trapped free,
Help the troubled cope,
I answer their plea,
Replenish their hope.

Yet my Nature I hide,
As to not be used.
Deception I ride,
For I've been abused.

I have good intent,
Don't test my 'strain
Though from above sent
I will cause pain.

To be addicts
we are fated
always thirsty
never sated.

Bliss in a cup
Coffee is required
similar to a drug
It keeps us wired.
Inspired by weight loss coffee I drink and sell. The original poem has two more stanzas but it just sounded like a sales pitch so I decided to stay classy and take the 2 stanzas out.

Writers block
got me here
taunting blank
filled with fear

pen and paper
meet below
purely nonsense
with rhythmic flow

Words assemble
the poem is done
that's right brain
Again I've won.
Just as the first two lines say, this poem was inspired by the lack of.

Written in the sky,
Our love was meant to be,
Gentle caresses,
And nights near the sea,
How lucky a man is me.

leaf spinning free
landing atop the rest

The first time I said hi,
this heart grew wings, learned to fly.

Every night asleep, i'd dream of you
My spirited heart in fantasy it flew.

When I found you dead, my sanity ran.
Life will ruin what it can.

Here at the funeral, I feel like a pig.
Dull and emotionless as they dig.
So basically I asked 5 people for 8 words in sets of 2 that rhyme, I made a poem from each of their responses, this is one. The others didn't turn out as good. Its a challenge to build a poem around someone elses rhymes.

Meanest
Bleakest
Blackest
Dryest
We are the meanest, bleakest race.
Hail from the blackest, dryest place.
My second shot at a tyburn, I like that it is a mirror of Angels.
