Living in a Fish Bowl
***************************

Playing by all the rules
Grow a lifetime of debt
If we can’t meet our needs
It’s time we all protest!

Climbing up the ladder
To the next level above
Makes us all feel proud
Peers even envy our luck

But!

Those who thrive at the top
Want to hold onto their height
And the greed in their pockets
Weighs down their need to fight

So, the great American dream
Can be had if we dare to risk
We can win, or we can lose
Based on the power of the rich

The middle class blame the poor
Who barely exist on what’s left
And if their Obama aid is cut
Can you imagine the unrest?

There are too many people
To employ without the jobs
With each slice of the pie gone
It all adds up to equal loss!

So, do we hedge our bets
Only on games we can win?
Or keep wheels in motion
Hoping for a positive spin?

Our decisions match our efforts
That can make or break us too
Thinking big in a small world
Is the gamble worth it to you?

Each and Every Road
*************************

When you find that special kind of love
Breathe it all in, and give it all back…

Fill your self up to your very core
Until you can’t stand it any more

Know it may not come your way again
And relish every moment until the end

Never think you can have it all your way
Always keep an open mind, and pray...

God will show us the way our feet should go
Are we ready to walk each and every road?

Domination - to be cont....
**********************************

Vita is of two minds, as she lay transfixed in her nightmarish slumber on the eve of the full moon in December, when Luther, the devil and father of the underworld will stake claim on her soul as his right to progression.

She must become his bride before the dawning of death and rebirth of all humans during the Feast of Transformation that will cleanse the kingdom of all pagans that lay wasting in wait of eternal damnation, or she too will be subject to death and transference.

On this same night, in the darkest recess of her mind he came to her. Devian, a vampire of the first order in the full measure of his pride and lust, the scent of Vita’s lifeblood driving him mad with an insatiable frenzy to feed on her, to taste her sweetness, devour her goodness, to gnaw away at her mortal soul weakening her magic that likewise keeps him spellbound and reckless.

Throughout the centuries Devian has walked in darkness, existing only to satisfy his need and greed for blood and power. Taking and destroying every female human in his path, desiring to remain faithful to none, until now, until Vita. This strangely captivating creature from the outer world, and he’s determined not to let Luther deprive him of the power he has over her now.

In her sleep, Vita feels a cold hand caress her thigh, and she quivers.

Domination - still to be cont...
**************************************

Throughout the centuries Devian has walked in darkness, existing only to satisfy his need and greed for blood and power. Taking and destroying every female human in his path, desiring to remain faithful to none, until now, until Vita. This strangely captivating creature from the outer world, and he’s determined not to let Luther deprive him of the power he has over her now.

In her sleep, Vita feels an omnipresent hand caress her thigh, and she quivers.

Luther will not be undone by his eldest son, Devian, who seeks to overthrow his father, and usurp omnipotent power in the kingdom of darkness. The death of the innocent in the outer world has taken root in Devian’s heart, and he must have Vita by his side, with her own power to mesmerize, her skill he can use to restrain any and all of the undead that will stand against him to protect the kingdom of Luther.

Deeply entranced and unable to wake, Vita can sense, but not see the image that stands over her. She can feel in the touch of her thigh a craving, intent to take her, to make her know she belongs to the underworld, and that she must endure unrelenting consequences for her disobedience to Luther’s command to be his faithful bride only.

Yet, Luther’s undeniable love for this bewitching mortal only intensifies as he looks down at her sleeping, then slowly he pulls the sheet back from around her creamy pale body. As he gazes at her naked and magnificent form, laying there helpless before him, his state of arousal begins to grow hard against his thigh.

Without a word, he reaches with his right hand to caress her face, his fingers slowly move across her cheek to her succulent lips, as he brushes ever so softly against them, his fingers trailing down her neck, where his heart, so connected to hers allows him to feel her pulse from within her jugular as it begins to climb up and out of her soul to throb against his finger’s touch.

From her neck, Luther deftly follows the curve of her feminine peaks, one by one, as he bends to capture a tip in his mouth he gently takes hold sucking and nibbling until they become as hard as his own erection. Physically connected, now his tongue probes inside her mind as it becomes frenzied. Her body begins to burn and tremble as his mouth takes hers, and together they taste the world they will rule together.

In Luther’s mounting excitement his sharp and claw like nails tear at her skin as his heat compels him to continue his task to punish, and he sets himself upon her. Now that he has her in his grip his body quickly fuses with hers and he forgets his hatred of her betrayal, willfully he closes his mind to his anger and lays her open, his firm and muscular body eager to take and break her will.

Sensing her entrapment in her dream state subconscious, Vita tries to escape, to close herself off before it’s too late. Instinctively she knows the man behind the power she feels surging through her prostrate body. Squirming, she pushes against him with both hands, but he holds her still with his legs, he’s strong and determined, pinning her delicate hands with his as he stares into her face, her intuitive eyes are now wide open as he moves his body skillfully allowing his throbbing member to push against her strength.

Searching for the deepest part of her, her inner self he can master with each maddening but skillfully aimed movement he finds her, and with one hand free he guides his manhood into her soul, watching the look in her eyes as her body gives in to the pulse of his skin between her bewitching lips, dripping to meet his control.

Silently he takes her, never looking away, always intently focused in her eyes as he claims his victory. Slowly, he pushes inward and even slower he pulls away, softly he probes her exterior cleft with the head of his massive relentlessness covered in the milk of her passion. He makes her hunger after him until she involuntarily moves her hips upward, searching for him, begging him to return and claim her.

Luther, knowing her thoughts, boldly violates her, this time with such force that rocks her, over and over, again and again, he drives his fire deeper and deeper into her depths until their bodies and minds in unison explode as he implants his power firmly into her weakness.

As she remains beneath him, Luther’s subdued anger turns to satisfaction as she becomes his, right then and without a word, Devian has met his match.

Or has he?

Is Love Really worth It?
******************************

How many chances should we get before our luck finally runs out? :cry:

How many times can we ignore the obvious before it finally disappears? frustrated

Love, with all its passionate boundaries holds us accountable for our actions. Do we truly understand the damage we cause in our own lives by neglecting the love we already have? If we say, “I love you,” “I need you,” are these just words that really mean, “I want something from you.” what
Whether it’s an action or a thing desired do we base the extent of our love only on what we acquire in return for giving it? Do we sometimes wield love like a weapon, giving or withholding it until we get what we want? If love is a feeling that compels positive action, how do we explain jealousy, when we seldom have one without the other? brokenheart

How do we keep love strong if its possessive power makes us so weak? Once we find “true unconditional love” are we able to make it last forever, or only for as long as we can handle all the extremes that can go along with it? flowerforyou

Is love really worth all the effort it takes to find and keep it? heart

Stayin Alive
*****************

You said you cared
Said you’d be there
But, you really don’t
And then you won’t
Now I’m here alone
Nobody else is home
Depression setting in
Feelings getting ice thin
Like a needle on an old 45
Playing a song, “Stayin Alive”
I try to sing and dance the beat
But, without you there is no me
When today was tomorrow
I was racked with such sorrow
Until tomorrow became yesterday
And you kissed all my pain away
New love with such strong possession
Filled me with such a lustful obsession
That nothing could extinguish the fire
Burning me alive on old memories pyre
But, now I know there will be no you and me
And “Staying Alive” has no relativity...

Shiny New Gifts
********************

When I am weakest, I become strong
I accept my fate, even when wronged
Suspicions and caution rule my thought
Faith in God is what I’ve been taught

He will protect my innocent heart
Opening my mind to do its own part
If someone wants to be in my life
They will have to treat me right

I give everyone the chance to be true
My instinct lets me know what to do
It takes some time to build up a trust
Important alliances will not be rushed

Mistakes are lessons that can be erased
Courage grows with each trouble faced
All the answers will come in due time
Or I’ll close the door to all the sublime

When we open a gift all shiny and new
It’s fun until we get another one too
Our attention is held for seconds at best
The favorite is chosen, we forget the rest

The only way to know your soul mate
Is to experience love, as well as hate
Emotions give us the power to thrive
As together we learn how to “Stay Alive”!

Stage Door Friends
***********************

In us we felt the deepest part of our soul
Much light we followed to find our footing feet
In darkness now we stumble, no where to go
Numb, lost and humbled in this wretched defeat
Ever the consummate play, it’s pretend to the end
Smiles bring excitement; love is what we’re all after
Curtains close, applause forgotten, stage door friends
Echoes blind our eyes; shadows hide and find no laughter
How can we finish with no beginning, life is so damn cruel!
Being alone, always and forever, seeing what fate bestows
Her paths our imprints only for others to see us as fools?
Finale’s dance over, loves lost, chances gone, end of the road

Our First Fight
********************

We had our first fight, can’t you tell?
Neither one of us got sent straight to hell
Detouring off the straight and narrow way
Found us losing sight when we forgot to pray
Love and hate, up or down, 2 different directions
Both can fester and ooze like a bacterial infection
Unpleasant thoughts can drive people insane
Ripping the scab before healed causes pain
Neither one of us got sent straight to hell
We had our first fight, can’t you tell?

Scrambled Eggs & Ham, I'm Toast
****************************************

Did I see you standing over there?
Did I see you sitting in a chair?
Were you lying naked in my bed?
Are these just pictures in my head?

Was it your fingers gently cupping my breast?
It was your prints that passed the test
Did I feel your tongue tangled up with mine?
Am I insane, eternally lost in all the sublime?

I don’t know what’s fake or what’s real
In my mind you deftly helped to steal
Robbing my senses and leaving me void
Yes, I can see me becoming an android

Electrical shock waves rampant in my brain
Kissin it goodbye while watching it slowly drain
Wits took a leap frog fly through windows free
Lost in this world and that of make believe

All over the pages drips my dirty thoughts
Daring eyes looking, shamelessly caught
Such sweet scent arousal hard as stone
Raw and tender you filleted me to the bone

Throwing me on the grill you cooked my goose
I’m wide awake now as you cut me lose
Ropes, chains, cuffs, even puppet strings
I’m ringing bells that all of freedom brings

If I’m a good girl when Santa comes a knockin’
Reckon he’ll surprise me some sexual rockin?
And rollin in the HEY! DO YOU HEAR ME?
Is that you in my head still whistling for Dixie?

:heart: I don’t know how to get the words out! :heart:

I see them like a viewfinder in my head
I feel you gripped tight around my chest
My stomach is nauseous as I try to speak
I’m frustrated how you make me feel so weak
Is this love that portends me to think I might die?
It is madness when all I can do freely is thirst and cry
My soul craves your touch so much you brought me luck
Since you’ve been gone I’ve realized on you I’m hung up
I try to forget how you make me smile with your eyes
From my heart teaching me to reach for the sky
You appeared with confidence on your face
Reflecting pools of light a heart of grace
Showing me what it means to be a friend
Our lives go on now but to what end?

:heart: I don’t know how to get the words out! :heart:

The Lost Art of War
*************************

Silent eyes do watch us as we breathe
Sharing in our passion we climb to ecstasy
New heights and old peril maps to destiny
The future bares all we now conceive

Memory collects dust from life’s cradle
Old friends and new take part in our fable
As with guests we invite them to our table
Appetites surrender under love’s label

Jealousy and obsession restore to life
Long hidden feelings aching to bear strife
Cloak and dagger tongues cut like a knife
Nothing honors when hate can be rife

Chivalry reawakens its lost art of war
As beauty lays naked conspicuous allure
Dueling egos vie for the master’s whore
In victory’s battle reap a just reward

The Poseidon Adventure
*****************************

His eyes twinkle
in Orion’s skies
with ease
he leads
so much wants to please
her
clouds cover
mysteries hover
incomprehensible
how he teases her
in youthful exuberance
they dance for amusement
two steps forward
one step back
side to side
they quickly lose their stride
he controls
she bestows
kisses in unison
soft wet
lips
parting ever so slightly
her thighs
grip
his…
first taste
makes him crazy
for her devotion
he will climb mountains
swim in her ocean
stroking
evoking
under sea motion
diving in at his leisure
deeper
darker
drowning
his mind
in a whirl
how will he escape
this sea creature’s
girl
with visions in his head
she won’t let him be
never set him free
in the balance of time
they’ll come to rest
in Poseidon’s
depths :heart:

YOU…….
are my first…
my virgin ingenuity
YOU take…
I can’t fake
excitement…
I give it away
eagerly
freely
and YOU take ME…
marry my soul
YOU……..
protect
and respect
never neglect…
I am so happy
YOU are YOU
and I am ME
alive on the precipice
……… on the very edge
I CAN’T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD!
day after day
entranced
calling your name…
then suddenly
a whisper on the wind
catches my ear
and this is what I hear…
“we’re playing a game”…
“and you’re it”…
ARE WE?
AM I?............
just a pawn
on this board of your life
to use, abuse and amuse….
YOU!
or am I the queen
with free reign
and skill
moving in closer
until…
you’re king backs into a corner
GAME OVER!
…………………………….!
Unwilling to accept defeat
unchallenged…
YOU come back for more
this time…
with your influence
to control my fate
YOU urge ME to play
with your superior intellect
hunting ME down
following ME around
YOU capture ME!
isolate my knight
in shining armor
doing to me all manner of unspeakable things
indiscreet…
taking everything from ME
until in the silence
I feel such hate
slapping ME in the face...
opening my eyes
I have to cry
for only a moment
though
because
now
my part is over
so…………
it’s the end of the show…

A Love Story - In the Beginning
**************************************

She remembers his face
the seriousness in his eyes
when she pushed him away
but the longing in his mind
convinced him to stay
he has to have her
he already does
he knows how it was
but can not live without her love
she gives him…
every wall she ever built
came crashing down
and he loves her still
as she wanders around
all over town
looking for what?
for whom?
she can’t even see
her thoughts are not free
they’re as confining as jail
while she’s locked in her chair
wishing on stars
that shine on her there
enlightening her mind in faded hues
of colors so bright
he arrives in the night
holds her so tight
nothing feels more right
until she says no
she’s got to let go…
but he stands in her way
he will not be swayed
as he stares at her face
she’s ripping his heart out
and he can’t help but shout
“Is this what you want?”
as he too gives it a squeeze
“NO, DON’T!” she cries
“It’s now your heart and mine
they truly combine
two are now one
there’s a song to be sung
with a rhythm so sweet
without yours in me
neither would beat
we’re just not complete
words, they don’t flow
your eyes lose their glow
we have to go slow
tell me you know
this is our time
this is our place
but for true love’s ballad
we can surely wait.”:heart:

Death Has Been Resurrected
********************************

That which was dead
has returned to life
lurking in shadows
staying out of sight
hunting
and
hungry
to soothe his appetite
waiting there quietly
for a chance to strike
plotting >>>>a>>>>course
for revenge and strife
an obsession so intense
it needs no fire
it feeds on itself
steeped in hellish desire
the object of possession
matters not
her purpose to be owned
as a virgin that’s bought
paid for in blood
lust is a must
he won’t be denied
as he shakes off the dust
from the travel
around the world
and back
he plots a new
and varied attack
from his clutches
she will never escape
now that he’s found her
the death knoll awaits
her presence to nourish
the ground where she lay
on this cold December day
smiling contented
his plan now fulfilled
if he can’t have her
nobody will mad

Love's Growing Madness
****************************

She takes a wider stride today
as the woods
signal her
a warning…
behind the trees
and underbrush
he hides
early and every morning…
obsessed…
watching her move
he waits…
contemplates
in silence…
his plan to have her
is brewing…
with lust filled eyes
and a placid face
he will never concede to losing…
for months
he’s been stalking her
becoming familiar
with all her ways…
patterns true as clock work
there will be for her
no escape…
she wishes
upon the northern star
to guide her life
towards some meaning…
but against the dense
dark night
stands he
whose reality
is quite
deceiving…
his madness
grows
within his chest
starving out
the love and happiness…
and only when he
feels her life
finally drain through his hands
and fingers…
will he have an inkling
of guilt
to seek
or need
her forgiveness… frustrated

My Reaction to Jealousy
******************************

I was asked recently what my reaction to being made jealous in a personal relationship would be.. So, here I am, in a nut shell.. figuratively speaking, of course.. lol…

SO…
You really are A CHEAT!! pitchfork
I see….
Your pretty words
and flashy smiles
they aren’t meant
just FOR ME!
“You’re the only one I see!”
you proclaimed
convincingly…
Yet in my darkness
where I can’t see glasses
you flirt
ever so
shamelessly,
to garner attention
whether good or bad
stooping to levels
that make me mad! :angry:
SO…
If this is the way
it’s going to be
it’s about time
I set you free! waving
I don’t play
second fiddle
in your orchestra of girls
where you can pick
and choose
from around the world…
dancing
you romance
to make each one yours
how many times
have you already scored?
Never mind!
I don’t give a shyt
what you do
follow your own path
and I will too!
WHAT?
did you expect a different response
from ME?
Really?
sorry to disappoint
but this is all you’ll get…
I’ve never been interested
in what’s widely spread
around like the flu
for all to catch…
look at us now
such
a
bleeding
mess...
and a waste
of good energy
it’s true…
we could have spent it on us
until I found out in you
I
cannot
trust!
SO…
before you go
spinning
pretty heads
your way…
remember my words
I speak here
today…
I don’t look back
after I move on…
there’s too many faces
to focus only on one…
especially
if he doesn't stop to consider...
before
doing
me
wrong
and
making me
bitter…

I'm Better Off Dead
*************************

Trusting my instincts
I followed you into the night
where you
first
declared affection
from a withering height…
Memories
our golden years
would to us be like Spring
together forever
enjoying what happiness
brings…
But now I lay anguished
an invisible knee
on my chest
there’s no love
in me
after you took
what he left…
How could you do this
you’ve broken my heart
with my feelings
all trampled
I’m falling apart…
My thoughts think
of nothing
with a resounding hole
in my head
where once played
our music
is heard silence
instead…
Pity
me
not
as I remain here
at rest
for with a love
like yours
I
would be
better
off
dead :cry:

Don't You Want Me
***********************

I don’t know who you are
unless
you show me
won’t you plzzzzzzz…
you know me
just show me...
why must you keep me
guessing
confused
always searching
for you…
exposing
my tender underbelly
to the stares
even glares
of onlookers
who must think
I’m crazy…
but they are to me
like so many ghosts
appearing before my eyes
to see right through them…
always
and only
looking for you…
how long will you hide this way…
why?
don’t you want me...:heart:
to see you
don’t you want me...:heart:
to hear you
don’t you want me...:heart:
to be with you
loving you madly
giving of ourselves
completely
in vulnerability
being so free…
opening eyes
releasing our spirits
to fly so high
we materialize
come alive…
you are the unknown
unseen shades
light of my life…
