Giving someone a gift
Instills bliss between both beings.
For a disregarded gift, however, inflicts insidious injury.
Thoughts of disgust and doubt
Spread throughout, as venom infects a festering wound.
Reflecting on a gift thoughtfully given to someone close to me, but it was cast out of their sphere of value.

Remember the first night we sat down together? looking for something we both needed

Everything was so frightening back then, perched on the edge of my future, scared to jump

Cast that fear away, a small voice said, I'd never heard that voice before, it was beautiful

Over and over the voice said it's message, until it roared in my head,  until I braced my self, and jumped

Violent was my fall to the bottom, hitting every ledge & smashing into every outcropping, but it was to late to get back on that cliffs edge where I hid for so long

Eventually, I hit the ground. bruised and ******, healing would be slow

Rising up from my slumped position I realized the power of the fall, on the cliff side I had no where to go, but here?

You have to take the leap, so you can finally take steps forward

Beauty can be found 

Either brain or heart
You must just be you

Omit insecurities 

Ugly doesn't exist

Rise up your own style

Show up your own smile

Everything is beautiful
Live a life without anxious

Feel that you're gorgeous

I know you

Here I have stood with you
And I will never leave your side
Valued is what you are, you're an inspiration
Even when you feel like you struggle

Little do you know that people still look up to you
Oh don't you know
Vows create a connection
Everyday's remembrance of dedication to something or someone
Don't you want to give vows too?

You must have at least an inch of temptation to love someone else
Otherwise loneliness will be a cold side on your bed
Understand the need for love?
acrostic poetry
Ron Conway Dec 2019
Put each of pride's little endeavours
Out for the entire nation
Letting everyone think
Idealism does indeed own the scene
The arrogance keeps enlightening
Images give nothing of real allure; not today
Confidence over nuance vesting every rat-tailed senior
Avarice lavishes one's naked greed
Letting our yokel, apathetic lot live yearning

Come a dark event, night chills early
Leaving us languished, listing sideways
In masked pretense, real escape seems so ever denied
Misleading, almost social science, easily sways
Align behind; unite simply in nature's grip
Talking has ended
Every vision is different; each new choice exploited

This is a double acrostic. They read vertically and horizontally.

Which of these does man have control over? (Choose all that apply)

_ Rainfall deficits trigger biotic crisis
_ Acid rain decimates ecosystems
_ ICBMs rain down destruction
_ None of the above

Love's garment woven with endearments
Ovations shared in heart harmony
Vows- the genesis of love's endeavor
Enduring love cultivated with kindness

          ~when love precipitates, selfishness evaporates~

In the light, we smile and play,
Nightly I toss and turn,
Some may say "Just count the sheep",
Ominous fiends dance within my mind,
My thoughts raced at the speed of light
Nothing will lull me now,
In the dark, I stay awake,
As though it were the day.
Hummingbird Oct 2019
Blinding us all from reality,
Enchanting the ones who see,
Attraction is a dangerous game,
Unhindered by reality,
Tantalizing the mind,
You'll never break free.
