She stays in the grey zone
Figuring out her next move
Torn between two guys
A decision she has to choose;
One or the other

The former wants her back
The latter just wants what’s best for her
Just want to see her crossing off
Her life goals, one by one
Even if it meant losing to her past whom she constantly tries to run away from

He hides his pain behind a smile
A facade he almost got away with
If not for his promise with her
Every time he mutters “I’m fine”,
He’s dying a little inside
A hell of a ride, the sports car we got on
Albeit too fast yet so comfortable

Almost gave in twice to the torture
Her warmth got him back on his feet
Fueling his desire to carry on the struggle
Though right now, every step taken is with absolute resolution as the pain slowly turns numb
I wrote this while still fighting through the struggle.

Two words
Off-guard
The same
meaning
With simplicity,
you move on
Love- hard
To live on
_ like
Two lovers ** combined
with gravity
What do we address
to people that

words appear
The same tear
Familiar place fear
Her address you hear
What is next to bear
It reminds me of twins
you got them bare
pinned offspring
the ((Spring Robin))
Two different eggs

(( Organic fresh/Rotten))
Robin Robin
Bo Hip-hop in or Baby baby
Janice Joplin sing sing_
You row gently
down the hill her name
Gave you the chill
But meets together
  the same
New singer machine
threads become

Hooked the bobbin.
Oh! Brother?
D-Danger DNA
The same address
His last name
Mr.Robbin's
Mrs. Jones got a thing

going on
Embarrassed he
pops out_
Still life kids
firey-fly lids
Sparkle out
I have two words
((THE SAME))

Why do we say
the wrong things?
No opinion
U-R forced
same boring
clothes
Address from I-Phones
Medieval Castles The
husband or Wife
I am waiting for _

He'll be coming around
Her mountain
Japan Fuji apple hike

Blew/Blue

Ate/Eight_ sides moon pain
Nose/Knows_ windows splash rain

Superman  no address flies her flame
The crane to lift her poem words

Love falls Canadian waterfalls
How her hair falls
the tree twins
Go timber__
Shapes/Escapes
The type small, medium

The lodge curves large
INN/  She's In
Or he's not
your type
When you point
it's not cool and polite
The pencil point
She is skinny
as a pencil date

Mom fruits and dates
Grate/Great
Her candle
Burned her address
The next townhouse
Was exactly the same
In everyone's
Genes/Jeans
Song Billy Jean
Writing is in all
of our genes
I'm the Robin
that
flew with
your tweet of words
How something is addressed to us no fuss. Poems to me are a big plus no matter how many words you use it can light up another person perhaps the same or different we define things and love to write open up our heart of wings

I bet the one who survived best
Was the one who did just enough
to spare the lash, but taste no ire
who slipped away when shots were fired

I wonder how they saw themselves
a rat, a man?
God knows what else

In thought as in plan,
in work as in bust

Everything is as was ever done.

White dressed girl, spinning in the room
Full of innocence, pure and true.
In the distance there’s someone else.
Dressed in black yet standing still,
Full of guilt, naughty and false.
What separates them is the gray line,
Thick yet so thin.
There on the white side,
She spins and sings with a smile.
While on the dark side,
She is standing still.
What the pure girl doesn’t know
The dark girl does know.
The pure girl was never pure,
But instead was evil galore,
Just like that depressing girl.
Through the Looking Glass
James Bond played his “Double” role  

On his “investigations” to locate the  “treasonous” Villian.

His “distractions” are well known…

Past his “secret” identity and “cover”

His “secret” is very well known

Past that

Spying is quite irritating

On both sides living double lives

Human reasoning defines what the “crime” or “need” of their own “roles”

are of the necessary order

As each person calculates based on its own relations

Memories and Conclusions played through life’s “feed recorder.”

I believe in love
Or at least the idea of it.
The idea of two people living so perfect in unison, the perfect fit.
Then I met you,
You were the eye of my hurricane.
But the eye will eventually move on;
So you left just as you came.
I believe in love.
Or at least once upon a time I did.
Short but sweet :)) || Seth

sweet smiles
sharing
candy bar
I don't know if $1.47 would buy a candy bar big enough to share, but wanted to try this form with 7 for number of lines, 14 for number of words, two for the break into two parts. Not sure it fits the part about creating pictures. (Thanks, Apricot, for introducing the form :-)

You're the needle ***** to our contraception
your seed swims sick through tunnel vision
you contradict your contradictions
direct your horses to Gallup opinion

Take a sip from your golden chalice
you've poisoned our wine with Iocane powders
your time ticks of Lyme diseased malice
fictitious fortunes, SEC counts the hours

Oh Lord I pray this won't sleep off
Oh Lord I pray this won't sleep off
For You
