She dares
I AM
wee hour
but tree
in Berkeley
yet dawn
only wager
their firm
with rose
in our
court another
year that
Romulus take
these places
and spaces
in term
with harm
he retires

Promise, never will you regret
Theme: Then, nothing matters.

The moment of regrets
And wills
The time of extreme fear
Of loss

Save my life
        It's nothing but wasted.
Pull aside
     the green, leaden curtain.
Of envy, it fills my
            every move with deadened motion.
          Come inside, won't you?
Save my life
From        a c c i d e n t a l        hurt
        From despair too
   Carelessly placed to
Be on       p u r p o s e.

What if it was?
Would you trust me?
Enough to relax,
eyes rolled back?
I don't promise much,
and I can't promise
a soft place where
and when I drop you.

              I'll d r o p you.
Jeanette Hersey Mar 2017
So familiar
yet still you are  mystery to me
I have kissed these gentle lips
a thousand times before
but each time it feels like the first

So much time
yet never enough
I love to while away the hours with you
exploring, laughing, just being
each moment lasts a lifetime - but is fleeting

So much love
yet still I fall deeper
I have felt your heartbeat in time with mine
for two decades and more
and still I am discovering you
For my husband

Unlike my life before the accident,
I now have short-term amnesia,
But you are stuck here permanently.

Tujhe bhoolna to chaah bhi nahin sakta,
Kuch aise bas gayi hai dil-o-dimaag mein,
Fark nahin padta tujhe kuch, oh zaalima.

Shouldn't we make all the politicians,
Famous or not first bear as prerequisite,
Bear the mandatory minimum sentences?

It'll be really revolutionary for the civility,
For it could be revolutionized - the polity,
Won't it narrow down the differences?

Most people sacrifice long term substantial gains for short term fleeting pleasures
and so they squander their inheritance which consists of blissful heavenly treasures.
From "Simple Observations" ongoing writings since the early '90's.

Black hair and fair skin.
Blue prefect uniform.
I noticed from afar,
They caught me off guard.
I was too shy to even speak.
But I will.
For now, have patience.

Our first hello wasn't quite what I expected.
But it was enough to make my heart race.
I was confused.
what are these feelings?
I didn't know.
But I will.
For now, have patience.

I found out the answer to what I did
Not understand.
This feeling is love.
People say it's dangerous.
But I love taking risks.
For a girl like you,
I'll be patient and wait.
My heart...
The only
Space
That
Is
Not
For
Rent.
For someone who already occupied my heart. And forever occupies it.

Do not involved your heart for short-term relationships.
