Mine Eyes Beg Sight Of Thee

Mine eyes beg sight of thee; mine mind begs, thought;
Mine heart begs consort with thee-for us to be what we ought;
Mine arms beg thine own body, in loving embrace-
Contrariwise, mine own body begs of same, face to face!

Mine own soul begs for thine, as its mate-
Our re-acquaintance made as was, through the powers of fate;
Mine whole life begs for thine own beauty's attestation:
As I bide still, I ruminate upon my futurity's celebration.
Until this time, when we shall meet my beloved, fair thee well:
May we both one day be the story that we lovingly tell.

All that I am begs for all that you are-
In a world with myriad resplendence, you are its brightest star!
Query not why it is that I covet thee as I do,
Ponder only: that in the morrow, more of same shall be gifted, to you!

For My Dog Amber Who Died A Year Ago

Belly rub,
belly rub,
begs my dog.
Gonna catch that freesby,
then bring it right back to you.
Belly rub,
belly rub,
begs my dog.
if you feed me steak, ill jump in
the pool.
Belly rub,
belly rub,
begs my dog.
if you let me sleep in your bed,
ill protect you from demons and
ghost.

Crash and burnin in my backyard

Begs And Achin'

I see ya flyin' in your UFO all the time
Crash and burnin' in my backyard
It's begs and achin' all the time
I ridin' on your brainwaves
Surfin in a dream
I wish you'd save those dreams for me
I see you flyin' in your UFO all the time
I don't remember what day it was
Begs and achin' all the time

Masochistic Wishes

There is a need for some,
To get their pleasure felt and delivered...
Whipped and beatened.
And treated sadistically.
By those wanting nothing more,
Than to give those requesting...
For them what is adored.

Punishment?
No.
Not when it is condoned like this.

It's that masochistic thing!
When one has a list of preferred afflictions.
Effective grief received and delivered...
Is a comfort to many fitting this category.

With a desire to feel pain,
One misses and begs to get.
Masochistic wishes as if a Christmas gift.

Wanting every bit of this sadisticness.
One can not resist.
Masochistic wishes promised and a bliss this is.

There is a need for some,
To get their pleasure felt and delivered...
Whipped and beatened.
And treated sadistically.

Masochistic wishes,
One misses and begs to get.
Punishment?
No.
Not when it is condoned like this.

Whipped and beatened into bliss like this.
Masochistic wishes,
One misses and begs to get.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Friar Lubin. (From The French)

To gallop off to town post-haste,
So oft, the times I cannot tell;
To do vile deed, nor feel disgraced,--
Friar Lubin will do it well.
But a sober life to lead,
To honor virtue, and pursue it,
That's a pious, Christian deed,--
Friar Lubin can not do it.

To mingle, with a knowing smile,
The goods of others with his own,
And leave you without cross or pile,
Friar Lubin stands alone.
To say 't is yours is all in vain,
If once he lays his finger to it;
For as to giving back again,
Friar Lubin cannot do it.

With flattering words and gentle tone,
To woo and win some guileless maid,
Cunning pander need you none,--
Friar Lubin knows the trade.
Loud preacheth he sobriety,
But as for water, doth eschew it;
Your dog may drink it,--but not he;
Friar Lubin cannot do it.

ENVOY
When an evil deed 's to do
Friar Lubin is stout and true;
Glimmers a ray of goodness through it,
Friar Lubin cannot do it.

The food in the ref
Of the wealthy
Rots

Outside their doors
A child begs
He has
Nothing
