This forbidden city
walks on water,
keeps all the undesirables at bay,
it's always a balancing act.

Oh, blighted court
of Catherine the Great,
thy friends are having a hard time,
but horsing around, no less.

Enlightened by summer drugs,
and busting out of
their tops and castles,
thongs on thy feet,
and thongs on thy bottoms,
this zenith and this nadir
come in colorful collages,
everything else is a flash of flesh.

Sped along by
frequent bloodletting,
there's a revolution in
thy teenage mind,
a looking for the hidden
and interested motives,
but no one can live
their life on the skis.

Rulership of heart is far
from recreation,
but you raised
a smile to sin,
until all we could do was
shake our heads and laugh.

I've never written a limerick.
Thinking of it makes me sick.
Better a sonnet
or a woman upon it.
Maybe, I'll just play with my ****.
lol.  Just having fun.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICWIGqf62Kw

Notice the Spring  
Notice the Return
Return of flight
Return of light
Light the Earth
Light my life
Life with her
Life in color
Color of birth
Color me rose
Rose to prune
Rose up above
Above the seas
Above the blooms
Blooms of angels  
Blooms that endure
Endure the frost
Endure what’s lost
Lost in her
Lost in March
March of longing
March to me
Me in white
Me in forgiveness
Forgiveness is here
Forgiveness on lips
Lips on cheeks
Lips down beneath
Beneath your bones
Beneath, I’ll be
Be yours forever
Be mine for always
Always my darlin’
Always like honey
Honey so sweet
Honey I’m home
Home like hive
Home of seasons
Seasons of change
Seasons of growth
Growth like moss
Growth of soul
Soul on tap
Soul in soil
Soil of her
Soil of Spring
Spring has arrived
Spring of love
Love
Spring
My first shot at a Blitz poem!
Meliah 7d
Dad:
Knock Knock

Me:
Who's there?

Dad:
Hike

Me:
Hike who?

Dad:
Unsuspecting child
Dad waiting with bated breath
Sets the perfect trap

Me:
My dearest father,
Alas, your trap was not sprung
I saw it coming.

Dad:
My sweetest daughter,
I was just  bragging on you,
And you turned on me.

Me:
You made this menace
They say you reap what you sow
-From your pride and joy

Dad:
Alas, you wound me,
I'm but partially at fault,
You are your mom's clone.

Me:
Mom does not haiku
This mischief is all from you
I got lots from you

Dad:
Only half from me,
Haiku from me is recent,
But it made you smile.

Me:
I value both halves
I am proud to be of you
I love you daddy
A playful haiku exchange between my dad and me, inspired by a classic dad joke gone poetic.
You’ve overfed me everything you had at your disposable
Staring up at me as I’m hanging from the ceiling.
Chocolate, syrup, honey, lollipops.
My belly’s rumbling.
It’s scaring me.
Sweat continues to wash over my pale face.
With trembling hands I try to tear my stomach open by myself.
And there you are waving a bat right underneath my feet.
“Blindfold on or off?” You ask amusingly with a growing grin.
The black fabric peaking from your pocket which you ignore to take out.
I’ve lost. My mouth sewn shut. I can’t be saved now.
I mumble uncontrollably as you raise for the first blow.
It hurts, my whole body is ringing of burning pain, as I swing around fast side to side.
You spin for another blow with your eyes closed this time.
You miss.
You do it again, eyes open.
Pain explodes faster everywhere.
I’m muffling praying to fall any second now.
“COME ON YOU’RE GREEEDY YOU KNOW THAT?!!” He shouts jumping from below.
“OPEN UP!! GIVE ME SOME!!! I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING AND YOU DON’T SHARE??”
Tears are falling. I’m the one at fault. I’m the empath and you’ll do anything to make me feel this way, no matter what I do, it won’t be enough.
You overfed me and I ate so it was my fault.
You tried getting it all back but couldn’t expel it out of me so it was my fault.
You did your part, and all I did was intervene.
It’s all my fault.
It’s not you.
It’s all me.

Dear Life,

The other day I tripped over one of your ‘little bumps’ on my path,
But I have a feeling those making the road don’t measure nor know math,
But could you do a girl a favour, when you hire,
Get someone with previous experience prior,
Because I don’t know if I’m the only one,
But there seems to be an awful lot of them that stun,
Maybe fire everyone & replace them with actual professionals that are new,
Because they just stand and watch, your current crew,
Leaving it all up to an apprentice who leaves a lot of bumps along the way,
And your so called ‘professionals’ just sit back and say,
“Yep, don’t worry, it’s just a little bump, no one will notice it”,
Guess What?!, People are fcking noticing & we get stuck with this sht,
So, get your thumb out your **** and get it done right,
Or believe me you and I life, will end up in a ****** fight.

Yours Truly
An Angry Customer
Just meant for humor
Two brothers, one quest
Killing monsters is what they do best
Down this path since they were young
Sams quick wit & Deans suave tongue
Heaven, hell and everything in between
Nothing like you’ve ever seen
Sam thinks he is smart, Dean thinks he is a stud
Idjits, Family don’t end with blood
Battling creatures that prey in the night
It’s a truly gruesome sight
From angels to zombies they get the job done
Each one a brave and a loyal son
Father is a hunter, husband, father & a tortured man
For his family, he does all he can
Trying to save each other & others from damnation
They are our only hope for salvation
As they impersonate officers of the law
Fake badges, they come to your door
Dean with his car
Sam with his scar
Bobby is their second dad
His back story, like the boys, is just as sad
Castiel at first is uptight but soon he will see
That all have the right and should be free
When cast down he is stuck in a rut
Then joins the fight calling Michael an ***-****
Crowly the funny guy who rules hell
Hello boys do you have a soul to sell
Sam makes you feel, Dean makes you smirk
Sam the b*tch, Dean the ****
The journey is long, full of sorrow & pain
Enough to drive the sanest person insane
But through it all, they have each other
Each sacrificing all for his brother
No truer bond can be broken down
As they help those in need from town to town
Having to solve a ****** in time, they never back down
Heavens & hells war, they are stuck in the middle
They have been to hell and back
Always something lurking, waiting to attack
Two brothers, one quest
Killing monsters is what they do best!
Based Of the TV Show Series
Infrared to ultraviolet
and every color in between
every hue that is you,
is longing to be seen.

You're like a rainbow of love,
In all its prismatic splendor.

Those ruby red lips,
so soft and tender.

In your emerald green eyes
my heart begs surrender.

Your golden hair flows,
down over sweet cinnamon skin.

Towards rose colored treasures
hidden deep within.

You're a rainbow of colors,
vibrant and bold,
Pastels of passion,
for my eyes to behold.

A Rainbow of love
even more precious than gold.

(HELL! To Be Honest)

You're like Skittles Baby!
And I wanna taste the Rainbow!
To be honest this poem was giving me fits.
I couldn't figure out how to end it, so I just decided
to have a little fun with the last lines.
