I dont want to be hung upside down naked in the middle of the desert and have Russian dissidents burn my nipples with a magnifying glass.

a beautiful dedication from mother to offspring, what is sad about the title is that many GIVE life yet fail to sustain the quality or enhance it further, I.e, dead beat dads, neglecting mothers what have you. People often wonder what is wrong with the children of today, when they are but a reflection of their parents.....question answered.

yeah, i see the candied yams with the roasted marshmallows on top and i miss my cat. i made the candied yams this year to commemorate the loss of my beloved Luke. he was a big white marshmallow cat with toasted marshmallow points on his ears, cappuccino stains on his back and a caramel swirl tail.

yeah, the holidays suck. i don't have a job. i hate my life.

bras are so constrictive....all in favor of "free boobing"....

Beyond the scope

ah love
unimaginable
tangled emotions
a lifelong quest

unconditional bliss
silken petals
smooth ribbons
comfort thy heart

raging waters
occasional storms
cease to exist
with compassionate words

lilies sprout
o'er majestic fields
intoxicating scent
drunken stupor

tearfully caressed
upon a bossom
drowning in hope
beyond the scope.

life itself provides the best education, but there is no education greater than that of self.....thanks for the comments.

1/2 the time i dont know what mood im in any way an the holidays oh ya real fun i might be bipoler or some thing never know what your going to get

wouldn't we all, it's something many of us crave, yearn, burn for, but it can be very dangerous when consumed by it because you might end up settling, think with the mind as well as with your emotions, it will work out a lot better for you. The roads we travel in life are never gold paved or halo'ed by rainbows, however there is bliss with patience, understanding ones self and communicating those needs to another. The best advice I could ever give anyone is "never accept anything less then what you yourself are willing to give".....Have a happy holiday season, and who knows, santa may bring you what you want or he may get stuck in your chimney and you'll have to settle...lol

****I'm not sorry nor do I regret my past, it has molded me into who I am.

Betrayal

such a very dark word
throughout the history of man
an action, swirling in deceit
running amuck with deception
there's no protection
for those vulnerable to such

the world is an abyss
a pit hiding rattlers
when we descend
we are bitten
and then express shock

buzzards circle
to witness the death
of unbreakable bondings
you'd think even they would learn
from the stench of bitterness
yet they feast upon the decay

only the bones remain
piled, like a memorial for scars
DNA for further transgressions
the science of hurt and pain
and one day we shall learn
mirrors make the best microscopes......

arms wide open

ha, I'm old fashioned, I'll wash you dry...lol

echoes of Poe, alone...nicely done

wish I had a dishwasher, then I wouldn't feel so "alone"...lol

sadly I'm not into family oriented holidays, usually ride the bike through the mountainside or sleep all day. I do however enjoy Christmas eve seeing the anticipation on the neighborhood children's faces, but christmas day I like being alone with my dogs. When one grows up in an alcoholic family environment, the holidays lose their effect, and they become a built in time of depression, so yeah, you're not alone, there are many people who actually dread the holidays, and lately it has gotten worse as the family units throughout society become more and more divided.
