I want something real.
Something that makes

those inconsiderate thugs
I want it my way

Poem:
.
hugs are for love
directions from above
kindness grows in a thankful heart
where serenity and peace have their start
open minds allow love to blossom
to share one’s self is totally awesome
at birth the soul is pure we trust
all we need to fly is some fairy dust
they say that a child will show them how
with unconditional love in the here and now
the best inherited from the family tree
love, we know, must always be free
love can never be duplicitous
faith begins with willingness
a generous heart bound with filigree
promises made with a guarantee
with an olive branch from a dove
hugs are for love

sorry
my mistake
doesn’t cut it
learn to make amends
repentant

Haiku: (7-5-7 VARIATION)
.
tropical storms wreak havoc
too much water floods
man builds in the low area

Poem:
.
words fail too many romantics
they worry too much about semantics
forget the talk, don’t tell me
let your actions and heart be free
show me that it’s not all about you
love is not about what you think is due
a two way street is an agreeable compromise
love is never about the value of the prize
love is a feeling that transcends thinking
mutual consent where everyone is winning
above race, beyond religion, unconditional
love and marriage are something traditional
love, forget the words, they are not needed
love is when the heart has truly conceded
