Beauty and the Beast

I’m not immune toYour sweet talking and surprises.I also love your attention,Bearing in mind the praises. Entertaining as you are,With free tickets to dances,No one in her right mind,Would reject your advances. Other men fail to seeHow you won a lady...

How Beautiful Are You?

You are not beautifulIf your face is layered withJars of cream and color.Or will designer clothesMake you elegant. Put a smile on your faceA twinkle in your eyes.Have a “Hello” for one and all,Pure thoughts in your mind,And a clear heart. You will re...

I’ve made a vowTo live for myself.Don’t care if you disallow,Simply no time to delve. I’m going to be the oneTo walk this lonely road.Join me if you want,Won’t mind when you bolt. Hoped for your consent,But I’ll not wait.If only you’ll assent ----The...

Hopeless

I can’t face the morrow,Drowning in this sorrow.Aching from head to toe,Does anybody know? Don’t think I can go on living,To do so would be deceiving.I’ve always hated to lie,It’s more honorable to die. I don’t wish to survive,Contentment can’t deriv...

Cursed

Strolling along,You picked up a purse.Didn’t take you long,To realize it was a curse. Faced with foul luck,Not once or twice but daily,Found it somewhere to tuck,Did it hastily. Since then, you’re smarterAbout stuff on the ground.As a person you’re b...

Fantasy

I’m not teasingWhen I say you’re attractive.I’m yours for the taking,Would like to be your captive. I’d be waiting for you tonight,When we can stage a kidnap.From the window I’d alight,And jump onto your lap. Wouldn’t it be fabulousTo hear about us i...

Friendship

My favorite haunt at three,Spending many an afternoon,Was this little house on a tree;Nightly, came to gaze at the moon. My father’s workmanshipOf this large toy,Had brought me friendship,With our neighbor, a little boy. Forty years on, we’re still c...

Abuse

9 Jan 2021 1 minute read 0 comments emily2u

A boy was confused,But kept silent,For he’d been abusedBy his parent. Life shouldn’t be this way ---Who could he turn to?Will people show dismayAnd consider him spoilt, too? Was always overpowered,With no help in sight.To his frustration, surrendered...

Childhood Revisited

The door, jammed with rust,Books on shelves gathered dust.Cobwebs hung from the ceiling,Plaster was fast peeling.The bed, bought for a song,Was only three feet long.On it, a red teddy bear lay,Hugged from night till day.The wall had a comic character...

Tower of Strength

Your voice is music to my ears,Drives away all fears.Soothes me, seemingly tireless,When I am restless.Now and again I give trouble,Yet, you don’t grumble.Stand by me in all I do,When I’m sad, you’re here too.You lift me up from my falls,Help me over...
