Do You Ever Stop?
Timothy Ward Jan 2016
do you ever
stop
for a moment
from your lurid glances
through beady middle aged eyes
sweaty palms groping feverishly
through my nylon soccer shorts
at junior boys' camp,
do you ever
stop
to think
beyond your own
abusive selfish intentions
to a world
beyond
your decrepit
**** *******
rotten soul?
do you ever stop?
I share this autobiographical poem in the hope that it helps other survivors and STOPS any abusers! I am 21 now and at peace with myself, but it's a rough road strewn with anger and bitterness and demons from the past haunting the present. You can get over it and you can move forward and I'm still writing my story... :)

First Date

tender nips
luscious lips
tremulous dips
thrusting hips
sweaty grips
sensual slips
heartbeat skips
total eclipse

The Kiss
Timothy Ward Jan 2016
I want to kiss you
Slowly tenderly
All over your lips
I want to kiss you
Gently gingerly
Down to your hips
I want to kiss you
Smoothly softly
Up to the tip
I want to kiss you
Kiss you kiss you
Kiss kiss kiss you

You

You
Your voice
Soft and reassuring
Your words
Kind and loving
Your breath
Warm and comforting
Your lips
Tender and inviting
Your kiss
Our hearts atingling

To Adam
Timothy Ward Jan 2016
you marched into my Jericho
blowing down my walls like Scirocco's
our world it seems is lost in time
our hearts abeat to thoughts sublime
our fears recede conflicts subside
we share a dream and dare confide

Only the...
Timothy Ward Jan 2016
Only the orphaned
Crave family
Only the violated
Crave shelter
Only the insecure
Crave validation
Only the dying
Crave life
Only the the embattled
Crave peace
This has potential for misunderstanding! I only speak personally of a craving for, not the appreciation of... !

Homo Sapien Bipolar
Timothy Ward Jan 2016
I am the sinner
I am the saint
I am the butcher
I am restraint
I am the tyrant
I am the slave
I am the migrant
Am I depraved?
