177...THE GLASS BRIDGE

Prophet of doom stood on a bridge of glass
brandishing a heavy sledge hammer
with "racism" etched on the business end
as people looking to cross gathered.

Each time she spoke she pounded heavily
on the delicate and fragile glass
fomenting anxieties that filled the air
and a deep reluctance that prevailed sad

Unswayed by the diatribe of rhetoric,
the hammer being wielded recklessly;
I cross the glass bridge unscathed
demonstrating to all the possibilities

But the standoff at each end continued
as she joined forces with another alike.
Through dark forests they came to hear
dividing all at the bridge that unites.

Politicians...the modern-day prophets of doom

175...MIGHTY WOMAN

All the hurt launched at you
by the man of your dreams
could not stop the river
filled with loyalty.

Tenderness and endless love
that kept flowing over and under,
around each and every obstacle
intended to put your will asunder.

You embraced the life as a gift
and special in each of your children
up to the day you embraced the earth
a mighty woman gave all in the end

Lying beside the still waters
promised for a life of sacrifice;
your just rewards will unfold with time,
and an angel for heaven will arise.

171..My Quotes SOUP 3

If we learn to agree to disagree;
there's ample opportunity
to discover the link that may break
a volatile chain of peace

-------------------------------------------
Men are not groomed to cry
So pardon if I render territory;
to dispel this myth of mine and weep
I saw you fall out of love with me
-------------------------------------------
 Oh! the sweet rhythm of verse
that dwells in splendid poetry;
Flowing river of imagination
let me drink from your stream.
-------------------------------------------
 What could not lie between
the pages of our torrid romance
was the secret that tore us apart;
u belonged 2 some1 else's past

WAR ON WOMEN RHETORIC
W/ DESPICABLE STIPULATIONS
IGNORING HUMILIATION

Oh! the sweet rhythm of verse
that dwells in splendid poetry;
Flowing river of imagination
let me drink from your stream.
--------------------------------------------
If you can feel this pain
logic will bring you to honor
Honor to God and Country
God and Country , back to love, and what matters
-------------------------------------------
Limited vocabulary is likened
to a state of mind that rejects
the rich bouquet of words as flowers
to compose a dozen roses instead
-------------------------------------------
A force unknown to the many
with hoofs & horns concealed
behind ramparts of gold and glitter
pretends to be one of us with zeal
-------------------------------------------
 High Expectations..flirts with disappointment unexpectedly

------------------------------------------
You keep coming back to leave
------------------------------------------
The distracted mind
are like black violets
that wither and die;
with a little care could've lived.

 The distracted mind
is like a lighthouse
whose beacon is dimmed
with shipwrecks abound

170...EXIT

You stretch me thin through
your maze & corridors of feelings.
An emergency exit at the end run;
make up your mind or I'm leaving.

169...ORDER

Order

expands to become
what we were meant to be;

loving ourselves
with strength,

loving each other in humility.

losing ourselves
in what matters

finding each other entirely.

168...The Confession

Stepping tenderly on clouds so high
ever so mindful not to fall through
I was careless and plunged down
as my eyes opened to see cruel.
Fantasizing with you...I kissed her
and whispered your name instead.
Profound hurt consigned to that moment
became the banner of shame that begged
forgiveness for my flaw and weakness
confessing with ardent remorse and regret;
"It's unbelievably hard to pretend...I just can't forget"

167...Savage Gardens

I remember well taking you there
and being taken in by my lies.
You looking to tame my wild heart
I pretended your reins were tight
And in the savage garden I built
special for those who compromise;
wilted rose petals strewn about
among the dry leaves marked the plight
of those that listened along with you
Their voices still in the air saying " treat me right"

---------------------------------------------------------1
You offer thistle & thorns
beyond what lies in a savage garden;
Pain & pleasure blossom together
under your spell without a pardon

---------------------------------------------------------2
 You seen me burn them before
in a savage garden which u were lured;
discovering names written
on stone altars that includes yours
---------------------------------------------------------3
The complex symphony of harmony
that is your song all over me;
made provisions to write our song
with magical endless varieties
---------------------------------------------------------4
A little boys curiosity
piqued in mother's direction asking;
how many people need her love?
As 1 stole her affection
---------------------------------------------------------5
My tears need to be contained
enough to speak the words
against those with Hoofs & Horns
letting our future, our children burn
---------------------------------------------------------6

I remember teasing you in fun
at the meticulous care u gave
your little plant in the window sill;
now black violets laugh at my pain
---------------------------------------------------------7
You stretch me thin through
your maze and corridors of feelings.
An emergency exit at the end run;
make up your mind or I'm leaving.

166...THE SEA OF LOVE

The sea of love is so vast
only one dreamboat may pass
but if by chance a second does,
board it...it's likely the last
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Navigating your sea; undercurrents pushed me out of a dream.

The complex symphony of harmony
that is your song all over me;

164...Your Own Sunhine Prompt

 Dance of Suns

Through the mirror I saw nature smiling
in a ballad of lights dancing by our side
as your own sunshine flirting with the moon
made love with us anticipating delight

The stars of the twilight's majestic canopy
fell upon us as cherries floating in a stream
to announce the soon arrival of morning's glory;
and have your own sunshine cloaked in mystery


DionWorx

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Closed Window

A dark room began with an aura
that compelled me to open a window
Your own sunshine introduced harmony
So I opened more to let your colors flow

163...Sonnet XCIII..The Last KIss

Lips parted to receive my last kiss.
Sanity lying on the very precipice
I pressed them gently as a last wish
from a state that did not dim your loveliness.

Before choosing eternity in the dark;
a sole ember stood and took its place
from the ashes where it laid apart
to be alighted anew.... to life in a blaze.

Death rudely took what belonged to me
but did not vanquish your significance.
Where once a fire inside you flamed

it found fuel without any resistance,
and settled in an ideal space in me
to breathe pure love back into existence.

162..Blind Trust

Blind trust seeks those
wearing blind love goggles
practicing blind faith
building expectations on this model
-------------------------------------------
Discernment uses logic
to tally broken promises
and conclude the ratio;
blind trust runs this gauntlet
-------------------------------------------
 A Blind trust is what she has
after she took all my money
And with blind love I asked
"Where's the money Honey".
-------------------------------------------
That blind trust of hers
accumulating more interest
than any ever donned on me.
Can I afford Blind faith as a test
--------------------------------------------

161...Fire & Blood

I want fire and blood
to handle my imagination
with colors of freedom
that distinguishes a creation
----------------------------------------

If you need to be manipulated
for tonight you'll do
tomorrow you'll stand
with out no strings to be pulled

------------------------------------------
Chambers of darkness mingled
with fiery verses as kindle
stoking the fire inside raging
that refused to let it dwindle

-------------------------------------------

160...VALENTINE THOUGHTS

I don't need a day
to tell you you're special
an hour to love you
a second to be gentle.

I don't need a day
to shower you with gifts
kisses and warm embraces
but it helps to be reminded of it
--------------------------------------------

Two things may have happened by now
You have fallen in love or out of it
Forgotten flowers,have broken up
Tell her I love you with your lips
Have gotten divorce papers
or have renewed marriage vows
got drunk to renew a passion
or made love til it ended with "wow"
---------------------------------------------
The man of your dreams
comes in all sizes and shapes
and may take you a lifetime
if these principles are not in play

What you have to offer
is just as important
as what I offer in return;
Moreover, can it go the distance?
---------------------------------------------
My First100 was a percentage rate
I learned not to use when love is at stake
50 percent is better provided its not fake.

159...I Choose You : PROMPT

I choose you to build
a staircase to my heart
to bring your joy everyday
and proclaim it a work of art
-------------------------------------
I'd choose you in a second
for a lifetime
but you want me only
for an hour tonight

Just maybe... Just maybe..
I'll be surprised
--------------------------------------
I'd choose you before
I'd choose myself
because together with you
this formula works well
--------------------------------------
Don't choose me for one night
or even for short weeks
Choose a life with me
Choose to be part of my dreams
--------------------------------------
I'd choose you
as one chooses to breathe
to live and see
by instincts naturally

158...The Cleansing

Let me scrub-down
the pain from your soul,
cleanse you with my love,
let me make you whole;

til your tresses smell of me,
the scent of love is on you
prepared to love yourself again,
to render unhindered love to me soon

157...MY QUOTES AS ART

156...Your Pillow

Resigned from your perfume
left on the sheets you slept on
I dare not spread out your impression
to erase you were here... and not gone.

Left to hold your pillow close to me,
softly press it upon my cheek,
tears well up...and roll one by one
tracing the melancholy abiding in me.

I close my eyes to draw you near
but a peculiar state of being
challenges my flight of dreams;

grounds my mortality without meaning.
without the wings you gave me
immersed in joy... to keep me believing.



DionWorx

155...THE TERMS

Brazen desires are trespassing
the corridors of my sensibilities.
The barriers of my mind breached;
your hurting all over my body.

An invasion of you is imminent,
beguiling charm seeks total surrender.
The terms suggest; 1] to fall in love
2] create a heaven together.


DionWorx

154...The Masterpiece

On canvas painted black I spill
my emotions in shades of rue.
Poetic strokes of somber
defined this disorder as crude.
But taking a step back to recoup
from a delirium in full bloom
I decide to paint a masterpiece,
start over...but this time with you.


DionWorx

153...The Best Kisses

The best kisses were the last
when you finally saw my resolve,
and an unexpected whisper uttered
"goodbye, my devotion is absolved."

You tossed aside my expectations,
convenient loving has lost its place;
your potions have worn off alas.
Why does it remind me of someone else's fate?


DionWorx

152...A Little Boy's Stand

Revolted by the way

you mistreated her face;

a young boy felt the shame

as he saw abuse take place.

The pain reached all sides

the hurt unbelievably hard to take;

the echoes of empty words like

"I'm sorry" filled the bedroom space.

"I love you" was not far behind

with gross images I conjured up;

confused and dismayed at the words

and action of a man he thought he loved.

One day a little boy revolted

against the tyranny of one man

and interrupted at a great cost

the rage that buffeted a woman.

Bravely trading places with her

trauma fell upon his frail body.

In the end one little boy withstood;

One man was shamed successfully

               

DionWorx

151...Death of a Tree

Somnolent rivers built me a dream
with tones and timbres of death.
It lodged me in a fetal position
under a charred tree full of dread.

The night's black canopy so stoic
dimmed the glimmer of stars hidden,
and hastened to disarm my logic
amidst these obscure surroundings.

As confusion settled uncomfortably
I stood up to look up at the sky;
my eyes shone as candles to trace
faint outlines of branches carbonized.

Baffled at what was before me
instincts forced my hands to reach
but the fragile timber fragmented
along with a rationale that was breached.

Disquieted I then cried out to God
and inquired what it was all about,
and He gave me some understanding
planting in my heart something profound.

The tree is indicative of man's condition
a monument to death and destruction.
The folly of men has crossed a threshold;
they have removed God from their imagination.

A time of darkness will cover the earth
poignantly marking the beginning of the end
Lovers of death will usher in the biggest lie
“Peace! Peace...There is peace among men”.


DionWorx

150...Struck by; PROMPT

I am struck by the way your kisses
still take me back to our first kiss;
Still smitten, your clouds of bliss
have not changed one bit

---------------------------------
Struck by the innate ability
we possess as one to complete
a world fashioned for two;
Love smoothing out the seams
---------------------------------
Struck by a healthy dose
of skepticism and common sense
I was leery of the words chosen
when u claimed "he's just a friend"
---------------------------------
A shiver went down my spine
when I was struck by the tone
of three dreaded words
that broke the peace on loan
---------------------------------
Struck by lightning twice;
what are the odds of this anomaly?
A second round with you better work
because I'm afraid a third will kill me.
---------------------------------
Struck by that thing in your hand
you refuse to put down or power off
Your mind is too distracted
to perceive I am turned off
----------------------------------
Struck by a great hurt justice escorted;
it implied they must be tallied
one by one to balance the scales
then the old man will disappear quietly
----------------------------------
 No matter who you are
or the distance it can be
the smile brings close
those who share in its beauty
----------------------------------

149...The Journey

To find you I shall journey to the infinities
of galaxies and planets trajectories.
Leap from star to star my wretched soul
yearning solace in one your eyes may behold.
From that star I shall leap on to your moon
and into your open arms in full bloom.
I shall gaze unto the sparkle of your eyes
and behold the morning star clear and bright.
I will touch the star you touch and be one again
Then, the earth and the moon will be content.

148...Morning Star

Shall I awake to marvel at my morning star?
Or gaze at a silhouette of stone breaking apart.

Shall I awake to the warmth of your breath?
Or face a cold bed left still, silent, with your scent.

Shall I awake to explore life's sweet mysteries?
Or ride the merry go round of colorful miseries.

How Shall I awake without my morning star?
How Shall I awake without my beating heart?

147...The Bone Clocks Prompt

Strewn about the desert sand;
my feet lost kissing the clouds;
the bone clock announces
forever has begun without a doubt
-----------------------------------------
As I turned back the hands
of pale bone clocks in array
Life began to form in order again,
and color removed the shame.
-----------------------------------------
A curiosity stood as a bone clock
that told time with the shadow
Until you came as the sun
to break the monotony it owned
-----------------------------------------
Bone clocks made me cry
when I felt the pain of life
rudely carved out of existence
into obsolete reminders of mankind

146...The Visit

Let me be happy one more second
within your wings embracing me;
it's not easy to imagine you away
so far away from arms reach.

I am certain where I belong
since I was lost once before.
It's within your orbit I'll keep
til my time ends and enter forever more.

Let me be happy just one second more,
keep your feathers caressing me
if only in my sleep to receive
within this lucid journey of my dream

Dawn will break the twilight soon
and the terms of your visit will end
Left to put the pieces of this bone clock
called grief back together again.

146...SPURTS TWEETED

I fell in love with you
knowing full well from the outset
the complicated versions
we claim to know...but actually pretend
----------------------------------
Lost in words is better than
being lost in your thoughts
I find my way back sooner
from the confusion wrought
----------------------------------
Wishful thinking
is all that remains
ever since I learned to listen
to every word you say
----------------------------------
Missing you
unfortunately
will be the easiest

It's forgetting you
that will be
extremely hard to pretend
----------------------------------
The language of love has no dialects
just inherited traits of flaws.
When we learn our human dimensions
we can embrace perfect love as a cause.
---------------------------------
Intolerable at times
yet pleasurable most days
to see the destructive taste
that sends me through your lovers maze
---------------------------------
A man needs to discern
his flaws before he can offer
practical love that endures;
the flesh is just a factor
---------------------------------
The flesh seeks pleasure
the spirit seeks fulfillment
the mind & heart knowledge;
yet one is a detriment
---------------------------------
Practical love is Godly
a blessing few attain in one life
The oneness of the souls that build
a monument that stands the test of time
----------------------------------
"I'm sorry"are trust words;
believing it once is allowed.
Two will start to make me wonder
Three; become words like love & hate tossed about.
----------------------------------
I am the spirit of the wild horse
running free in a field of dreams
You the only rider to ever tame me
why change and instead choose to train me?
----------------------------------
Justice brought to bear great hurt
to remind me they must be tallied
one by one to balance the scales
then the old man will disappear gladly
----------------------------------
Strange times merit attention
Consistency is unappealing
Malleable positions attractive
Grounded into conformity prisms
-----------------------------------
 My first hundred was a percentage rate
I learned not to use when love is at stake
50 percent is much better
provided its not fake.

145...HINTING

Creative thinking brings me
to the core of your being
hinting with quiet desperation
how do I keep you believing.
---------------------------------------
Hinting with your touch
and silence speaking eloquently
I delved into your pools of delight
to fall on my knees where you wanted me
---------------------------------------
I tremble at the notion of hinting
and languish at the prospect
to tell you my fair lady
three words you do not expect.
---------------------------------------

Love fired the molecules of dreams,
hinting it fed brazen burning desires,
sustained infinite possibilities;
until you tried to control the fire.
---------------------------------------
Dubious honor bestowed
hinting I am the only one;
a sigh of relief is gasped
when you texted me "we're done"
----------------------------------------
You now embracing the earth
I pray you will have remembered
me hinting that you were special
because now I miss you more than ever

144...UNRIVALED

Unrivaled mystery called love;
each ones gauges fall short.
The expectations are too high
for the tall orders we support.

---------------------------------------------
Unrivaled beauty;
it's easy to hear what you say,
until I look into your eyes,
then it's harder to sustain.
---------------------------------------------
Unrivaled audacity
begged a question to be asked:
Do I love your body more than mind?
A conundrum I will need time to grasp.
---------------------------------------------
Loving himself more than she;
unrivaled lover dons a grin
Then beauty reflected off a mirror
and he saw another in the wings
----------------------------------------------
Unrivaled beauty
vs unbridled passion;
of the two I love
who gets hurt of the three fancied.
----------------------------------------------
God I marvel
at the complexity
of the simplicity
that is life unrivaled ... Help Please!!
----------------------------------------------
Unrivaled rainbow of the universe
I speak to you and I feel good.
I listen carefully, and I love you
evermore like I should.

Unrivaled imagination
to the tenth power my dear
I am flawed so are you
two things we have in common...fear

143...PROPHESY

To promise to love forever
is to prophesy pain
It's the order of the day
since one of us has changed
--------------------------------------
If I prophesy lies
you may well think them true
because the word love
is dressed up as truth
--------------------------------------
You whispered candor
into my deaf ears and
with warmth you prophesy
I am committed to tears
--------------------------------------
Lay your dreams upon mine
to prophesy our desires,
so when we awake
we can say we shared a fire
--------------------------------------
Clouds of bliss pressed upon my cheek
where once they caressed my lips
Now left in the dark to prophesy an end,
it soon became clear... with another kiss
--------------------------------------
You prophesy our happiness
exist within your control;
which leaves me no option
but to seek it for two on my own
--------------------------------------
To predict the eventual demise
of manners and respect
is to prophesy that peace
will never exist among men
