Why Rhyme?

Words crawl across the page
Full of ideas, need to engage
Stories, prose or rhyme
Has to be rhyme, when , little time
Rhythms and rhymes feels so easy
Feel so right, work so cleanly
Poetry purists will say how cheesy
Expell their breath, very wheezy
An idea to express, a reaction to provoke
A hope for debate, revolt, or quote
Human relationships float my boat
Love, lust and human trust, my promote
Sadness sometimes lurks in a corner
But as an optimist,I try to be an informer
Why rhyme
Nice line
Tends to keep things
On springs
I can do more rounded prose
Use large words,maybe pose
Metrical composition
Personification recognition
Versification
Conflagragation
As long as it rhymes
Suits my paradigms
Why rhyme
Because I so love it!
What no rhyme ….never does it!

Times Crossing

I am attracted to your light
Like a moth to a flame
A shining beacon held tight
That I must penetrate

I feel your spirit near me
So tantalising close
I let my essence flow free
So that we mingle the most

As we dance the air dreamy
Our essence entwined
We share so deeply
It cant be defined

Our bodies are longing
Our souls find a way
To bridge times crossing
For our minds to hold sway

Have set up the next run would anybody like to set up the next eight word story in the comments box and start another chain?

Will you love me

Will you love me with no conditions
See me for who I am and  who I can become
Or will I first have to meet your mission
Be controlled by your moral zone
Will you trust me to make the right moves
Or will you want to always approve
Will you love me with no conditions
See the heart and see the flaws
Will you love me with no conditions
Accept my imperfections give me applause
Will you be able to see me grow
Not feel threatened by the undertow
Will we meet the soul mate state

Tides

Tides

Tides wash along the shore
Ebb and flow for ever more
Relationships also ebb and flow
Sometimes falter sometimes grow
Times of dark and times of sun
Always working, when attached to fun
Sunny moments dispel the grey
Keeping up with feet of clay
Are we walking hypnotised
Just trying on relationships to find the right size
Relationships ebb and flow
Can we work to make it grow

Alternative way

If you are feeling at a low ebb
Despondent unable to cope with lifes web
Heartbroken, unappreciated
Clothed but feeling stark naked
When you want to give up,stop, look for hope
Regroup, retrench and for a moment,be a castle in a moat
Find your essence, the centre of your being
Retreat into your inner eye do new seeing
Let go of all the things you can’t control
Hold all your strengths and blessings to extol
Grieve for dreams unfulfilled
Wishes and hopes that have chilled
Then parcel that grief and toss it away
Breath deep the scent of the happiness bouquet
Find small green shoots to nurture, even in the devastation
Don’t give up, hold on, it’s all in the interpretation
Find lifes alternative way.

Game

Now we have started
This sweet seductive game
I know that, the whole idea, is just so insane
Don’t promise me the moon and stars
False promises will leave me scars
Now we have started
This sweet seductive game
Don’t hypnotise me with endearments
That, for you,are just an indulgance
Maybe a single tryst, with trust
This attraction makes that, a must
I need you to explore my body
Electrify my mind
Just leave, my heart behind.
