online today!Sydney Sales Yard
A bonny mare if 'ere there was one
Stood tall in the Sydney Sales Yard.
The odds, the ring, the sales yard;-
And soon they beat her down.
The bid lot forty three, recall
(If memory serves me right)
Where stood there men as tough as nails
And bidding was a fight.
To and 'fro the bids were called
Until she was knocked down
to Eight Thousand -
For men in Blue Collars this was a lot of dough.
So Standardbred "miss milly molly"
Was walked out of the ring;-
"Not much to look at - a slender horse",-
One onlooker said;-
But he was not the man who bought her; -
Risking hard won bread.

Post CommentWHAT DO WOMEN WANT
If ask 'What do women want'...not one could truly enlighten me
from all I've ascertained they don't even know... so how could we
Some feel a reasonable response to what they want is "Everything"
it's good guys women always manipulative like puppets on string
I know with absolution being too nice inevitably gets you burned
having been there more than I care to remember is how I learned
How women turn from sane into succubus in a blink is inexplicable
never believe you can figure them out because they're inextricable
The majority prefer looks which reflects the mentality of a shallow mind
women don't realize a true old-fashioned gentlemen are the best find
The outside may be attractive but what truly matters is the interior
the self-absorbed pretty boys are more apt to make woman feel inferior
They pick 'BAD BOYS' likely to be physically or worse mentally abusive
most victims want to flee... while fear turns many others reclusive
Domestic violence lessens if better acquainted before making a choice
if a faint whisper warns 'He's not the one for you'.. heed the voice
WANT to be better to us who go above and beyond to treat you good
appreciate what you're lucky to have and SHOW us the love you should
What women want may be a question without a reasonable answer sadly
the definitive truth behind that mystery man wishes to know badly

About this poem:
Truth is in there for sure!Understand the write!
Tweaking always possible!
Desire
You ran your fingers up and down my spine
I flinched, you laughed, the familiar sparkle in your eye
You pull me close
Whisper in my ear
Tell me words I long to hear
I rub my finger across your lips
Ever so slowly with my fingertips
Teasing, touching, desire burning inside
But not just yet
Let's lie here a while
Hand in hand, cheek to cheek
I can feel your heartbeat
No need to speak
Lying here with you is all I desire
Your body next to mine
You keep lifting me higher
Your lips so soft
Your smell so sweet
I can not get enough
I'm weak beneath
Wanting, hoping this will last forever
For moments like this
Are what we treasure
I flinched, you laughed, the familiar sparkle in your eye
You pull me close
Whisper in my ear
Tell me words I long to hear
I rub my finger across your lips
Ever so slowly with my fingertips
Teasing, touching, desire burning inside
But not just yet
Let's lie here a while
Hand in hand, cheek to cheek
I can feel your heartbeat
No need to speak
Lying here with you is all I desire
Your body next to mine
You keep lifting me higher
Your lips so soft
Your smell so sweet
I can not get enough
I'm weak beneath
Wanting, hoping this will last forever
For moments like this
Are what we treasure

Post Commentonline today!My Wandering Star
Once at Sixteen, I found a silver moon
Reflected at midnight upon a lake
Silver light and shadow through trees shone
The light upon each ripple shimmer made.
As if each ray could be a stepping stone
As if time now in eons did cascade -
And it is strange that I have come this far
What set this course for life my Wandering Star?
At that time I thought I saw a fancy
Or heard a ghost now shimmer through the trees -
Maybe bush spirits at midnight now were dancing
Or just a summer zephyr a warm breeze?
Something for this night was now romancing
That had so newly given my heart ease -
Something silver - peaceful - full moon beams
Caught and held my adolescent dreams.
I made my lover a bucolic charm
I kept that charm much closer to my heart
Words like a spell intended to disarm
That which spoke of poets and of art.
I look into the water now becalmed
All breeze is gone all ripples now depart -
Something sometime where we could not forsake
What started as a shadow on a lake.
So why now would I look on last night's gloom?
Tomorrow I would to you a red rose take
To light with all my light your empty room
And prove we could a lover's art retake.
There was a time, and that time came too soon
When love could no more make our two hearts quake; -
Something is now lost that was desired -
Why was this loss and heartbreak once prescribed?
For reasons we know not - nor meant to know
The Fates had put a fork into our road -
And now I've only poetry to grow
When I should have more affection showed.
It was those little things made our hearts glow -
Without them souls lie empty in abode;-
And it is strange that I have come this far -
What set this course for life my Wandering Star?

About this poem:
A poem about Megan - my first girlfriend - and my first love - in High School. A recollection of a moment of introspection, one Summer's night at Wentworth Falls Lake. (In the Upper Blue Mountains; about 100 km west of Sydney). Thanks for all your reads - lcbr.Wishful Thinking
I wander alone through this murky wood
Thoughts of you once again fill my head
Will you walk this wood with me someday?
Carve our names on a tree?
Will you take my hand and place it on your heart, kiss my lips, promise we'll never be apart?
Will you catch me when I fall, love me, warts and all?
Is it just wishful thinking?
Or can it be, you also dream of me?
And so as I walk closer to the end of this long and lonely path
I look up to the clouds and whisper
"One day I'll find my way, for now though, come what may"

You must have a hope
To inspire you.
You must have a path
To pursue.
You must have a object
To work for, a plan
And a purpose in view.
You must have a some direction
Or lost you'll go drifting along.
You must have faith to guide you,
When life holds no light
And no song!
You must have a stake in the future,
Though swiftly the years may depart.
You always have something to live for
If you have a dream in your heart.!
To inspire you.
You must have a path
To pursue.
You must have a object
To work for, a plan
And a purpose in view.
You must have a some direction
Or lost you'll go drifting along.
You must have faith to guide you,
When life holds no light
And no song!
You must have a stake in the future,
Though swiftly the years may depart.
You always have something to live for
If you have a dream in your heart.!

About this poem:
Don't know the author, I must say it is inspirational !STOP YOUR LUNACY
What drives you to consciously resemble a crook
it's what society sees behind your idiotic look
If it's rebellion against 'The Man' I get it
find alternative because you depict a dumb shit
STOP groping in public all you clueless prick's
society doesn't want to see you holding your d*ck's
Banning such inappropriate dress the majority share
civil folks despise seeing your stank a** underwear
Holding up your pants while walking laughable at best
all of your disrespectful antics rational people detest
Ditch hats if incapable of wearing the proper way
how about acting your age not your IQ Okay?
your attire I would surmise depicts you're bad
if that's your mentality your reality is very sad
Tattoos also don't definitively define a tough guy
more truth is they are not akin to FLY
The tacky look makes one look like a punk
indicative of just how far mankind has sunk
Stop the lunacy all you disrespectful bitches
be something other than one of life's glitches
If this seems offensive you get how majority feel
your mirror reflects a look with ZERO appeal
most agree with every word I have justly said
trend of insanity likely until humanity is dead
it's what society sees behind your idiotic look
If it's rebellion against 'The Man' I get it
find alternative because you depict a dumb shit
STOP groping in public all you clueless prick's
society doesn't want to see you holding your d*ck's

Side by Side
Thou has cocooned me with love
All the days of my life
Forever standing with open arms
I would die cradled within
An inviting smile
The familiar sweet floral scent
as I enter thy abode
How I long for this dense fog to lift
Let good health once again be our greatest gift
Alone you will not be
Side by side through it all
As you for me
Let hope and faith guide our way
The strength of our love knows no pain
Begone this suffocating haze
Once again let us see a clear horizon
No one more deserved of a life
Than that whom I'm proud to call mine own
An unbreakable bond spawned from birth
For maternal love is undeniably eternal
All the days of my life
Forever standing with open arms
I would die cradled within
An inviting smile
The familiar sweet floral scent
as I enter thy abode
How I long for this dense fog to lift
Let good health once again be our greatest gift
Alone you will not be
Side by side through it all
As you for me
Let hope and faith guide our way
The strength of our love knows no pain
Begone this suffocating haze
Once again let us see a clear horizon
No one more deserved of a life
Than that whom I'm proud to call mine own
An unbreakable bond spawned from birth
For maternal love is undeniably eternal

Post CommentFOREVER YOURS MY LOVE
As I glance over at you from across the room
I see crying eyes filled with tears of gloom
Come here my love so I can hold you tight
what is it my love you're struggling to fight
Your expression resembles the clutches of despair
overwhelming sadness I know is impossible to bare
Have you ever felt this melancholy before my dear
you look ghostly afraid and I too feel your fear
Never forget I'm here to help assure you get through
'Forever Yours My Love' a pledge I am married too
By your side is where I will stay whatever the need
through sickness and health my love is what we agreed
I can't stand seeing you miserable in such a way
we will remedy your pain somehow, someway
I see crying eyes filled with tears of gloom
Come here my love so I can hold you tight
what is it my love you're struggling to fight
Your expression resembles the clutches of despair
overwhelming sadness I know is impossible to bare
Have you ever felt this melancholy before my dear
you look ghostly afraid and I too feel your fear
Never forget I'm here to help assure you get through
'Forever Yours My Love' a pledge I am married too
By your side is where I will stay whatever the need
through sickness and health my love is what we agreed
I can't stand seeing you miserable in such a way
we will remedy your pain somehow, someway

About this poem:
Depression is crippling,I know this for a fact!
The Beach
As I walk along the seashore
Waves beating against my feet
Skirt pulled above my knees
Hair blowing in the breeze
I reflect on my life
Past times, good and bad
Memories I'll treasure forever
Heartbreak tucked away wherever
The wind makes my eyes stream
The sea salt coats my lips
Natures beauty at my fingertips
I take a breath
Stop and stare
Change my mindset
Sure life's not always fair
The sun shows itself again
Bringing a smile to my face
I'm once again reminded
Life is beautiful
When I'm at this special place
Waves beating against my feet
Skirt pulled above my knees
Hair blowing in the breeze
I reflect on my life
Past times, good and bad
Memories I'll treasure forever
Heartbreak tucked away wherever
The wind makes my eyes stream
The sea salt coats my lips
Natures beauty at my fingertips
I take a breath
Stop and stare
Change my mindset
Sure life's not always fair
The sun shows itself again
Bringing a smile to my face
I'm once again reminded
Life is beautiful
When I'm at this special place
