The Discarded Man
Trapped in layers of sin, ambiguity, and shame. The man walks the loud, but still, lonely streets of the city, searching for something that he does not know. The discarded man. A man standing in the wilderness, screaming out shrieks of pain that are lost in translation. The man fears he is alone. The man...

Is He Man Enough?
If she was the one who unbuttoned her blouse first, who closed the door, who whispered “Come on, don’t be shy,” and still—he said no. If she was the one who laid herself bare, threw herself at him like a dare in a quiet room—was he man enough to say he didn’t want it? To...

What a Man Means
If a man says he loves you, know it is the river’s hunger for the warmth of a moon’s reflection— he seeks a moment, a hush of closeness, the breath between your words. If he says he is consumed, that your name is etched into the hush of his breath— it is the same longing, but now, he clutches it like a flame in winter, afraid to...

What's a Man Supposed to do When he's so full of it
Noel Coward or Ivor Novello style voice There are those who consider me an intellectual, when I recite passages which some find quite hysterical I spew forth what I consider humour all the time ha ha ha ha I am charming, I am gay I am sly or so they say but what's a man supposed to do when he's just so full of it? I...

The Man In The Moon
Dancing in my room as the daylight fades my silhouette turns pirouettes on the window shade how much love does it take to break the spell and shake this gloom I know too well rainy days I've had my share the outlook it's not always fair searching for a way reaching out for you 'til you return and make the sun shine...

Trying Man
Getting up after the fall, Standing again and accepting the call. Giving it the proverbial 'college try' Burning the midnight oil and remembering his 'why'… Standing in the batter's box again after strike three Readying himself for another at-bat, standing in the box confidently… Picking himself up off the canvas after the big left hook Shaking the cobwebs and learning from the...

Meet the Man
A covert narcissist dressed in a hand-me-down victim cloak, Master of the tear-tantrum tactic — He sniffles, sobs, and simpers until your defenses drop, Then slides a betrayal in your back so smooth you almost thank him. A codependent parasite latched to his mother’s emotional tit like a tick, Bound by an enmeshed dynamic so tight you'd think she birthed...

Premium Member He's Still My Man
(A country song to my hubby…read this with a Loretta Lynn voice) Verse one: Well, my man is the kind who likes to unwind with a BudLight and western shows. He watches them over and over and over till I think my head’ll explode! A ballcap is all that he will wear on his head, except when it rains...

Man of mercy
He was a man who knew how to knock out another man. Against amateurs, there was just no match for him. 4 years of tough man competitions, he walked away with the title everytime.   I worked with him for over 10 years and had many talks about boxing. He told me about how he got to spar Tyson...

The Man Who Held His World In His Hands
Maybe love is forever Or at least long enough Maybe devotion is definite Or will at least last a lifetime Maybe you can have everything in the palm of your hand Because I once saw a man With his world in his hands Every Sunday at 8:30 am sharp The golden hour of the morning When the sun is warming Not yet burning When the day...

The Handsomest Young Man in England
I stood in front of my class and cried biscuits over you squirting out my elegant tears like fish eggs while you took selfies in a muscle shirt that read 'Don't be such a mermaid'...

The Man Who Taught Me Words
(For Uncle Charles) He stood before us, chalk in hand, A quiet man with eyes that understood More than the textbooks ever could. "Read this aloud," he’d say with a smile, And somehow, my tongue found courage. Each word he gave me became a window— And through those windows, I saw the world. He was more than a teacher— He was a compass when...

He walks the dark alley's, unforeseen roaming His life finds worthless circumstances to nature existence Belly rumbles hunger, need a dying sleepless thirst Once on a path to something before nothing Stricken from life the dignity must swallow He crumbles in streets, his pain felt deep What am I but a man of worldly demise...
