Hello everyone!
What is my vision for P.E.G.S Poets?
My philosophy was really quite simple behind this. I wanted to create a very comfortable space where people could express themselves and be showcased.
Showcased? Why?
Everything I seem to do is simple. I believe from the bottom of my heart if you treat people right and reward talent, encourage people that struggle with confidence in their writing, seek out their strengths, potential and build up their weaknesses- you give a person wings and they can soar so high. That takes little to know effort and it doesn't cost me a thing.
Challenges?
Since P.E.G.S is really in its infancy stages, people just don't know we are here, so I have to pu
Spread the word! Our prizes will increase the more popular the contest becomes!
Flow on y'all...we look forward to hearing from your pens!
No more lies... so in honesty
respect turns its back on your display
of sordid friendship - tattered by
twisted philosophies..
Too young...Too ignorant...
Too much...
(*a tribute to the friendship you buried and took for granted...)
Oh, spinning in my heart

I guess this is good-bye for now
We've taken each other as far as we can go
It's been a long road
And now its time to go home
The years have passed us by while we have stood still
Numbed by time, our hearts have grown so cold we can't feel
May the tears fall like rain to wash your spirit anew
When the battle is over- wait for me and I'll be right here waiting for you
Something tells me that we'll again my friend
Somewhere.
Somehow.
But I guess it's good-bye for now...

what's not to like?
each cherry lip gloss kiss
seduce innocence
into the warmth
of a gentle predator -
whose eyes relive
the chase of heartbeats
and silent dances
where only hearts
could hear...
what's not to miss?
each collared shirt
and musky perfume,
lavender lace
and high-heeled shoes -
such differences
cascade to hold
each longing embrace
into the littlest part
of eternity...
what's not to love?
when in this prison
freedom lives,
when in this secret
truth survives -
and in his arms
she is saved,
in her kiss
he is made immortal...
and for once
sin has saved them all...

Faith takes time.
Lord, forgive me if I grieve,
and see only the pain & sadness.
For my heart is clouded by despair.
Humbly i ask
of your patience & understanding
of my human weaknesses.
And yes,right now i refuse to understand,
i humbly ask for your love & kindness
that I may rise above my plans/expectations & accept yours.
W/ all my heart I surrender everything to your power,
for my spirit wavers, & the only light I see is mounted by your cross,
where you carried the weight of the world on your shoulders to save us all.
Your wisdom knows what I may never learn,
Your love transcends all human sacrifice,
teach me ways to see through your eyes,
to love as you have loved...
Teach me forgiveness in this ocean of hate,
Give me eyes that see Your glory
when all I can see is pain and
broken promises...
I humbly ask O Lord, for your forgiveness...
For all I can do right now is doubt, and hate, and hurt...
Faith takes time, but I pray that you shed your light
into my darkened world
that I may not be lost in this ocean of hatred,
where families break and friendships burn...
Teach me to be calm, to be humble.
to be thankful, to see the purpose as I fall
to my knees, and as I bleed
I beg for Your love to sustain me.
I am weak, and though the cross I carry
is far too light than yours, far too small,
May I possess the courage to crucify myself
as I am able to love, not hate,
to forgive and to trust...
and to save those that I love...
AMEN.

Sitting accompanied by my thoughts and an oversized mug of something sweet, marked with foam and an extra shot...
I saw you at a coffee shop on 5th and Vine.
Your glasses sat low on a perfectly shaped nose that was built for such an eclectic pose.
Remnants of your cherry lipstick stained the porcelain mug from which you sipped, from your thoughts you were ripped as I interrupted with... "hello."
Squinting, you first examined me searching your mind for a previous memory.
Finding none you placed me in the category of stranger, knowing full well of my intentions.
A half-hearted smile and a look of disgust you used as prevention from further inquisition.
I sat, you sighed, I relaxed, you lied.
Trying to convince me that a male companion was in route, I trusted the source of my doubt.
Relentless to your reluctance I asked your name.
Ebony you said with chestnut eyes rolling from left to right, Ebony I repeated impressed with the insight of the woman or man who knew your chocolate skin would wear you name perfectly.
Legs crossed eloquently, teasing made it hard for me to conceive or believe that I should offer the slightest reprieve from this advance.
Romance is what I sought and with the right words you would have bought into promises I would sell, hell... I had no choice I had to approach.
Small talk was useless and had no effect, I would need the skills of a master wordsmith to impress or erect a relationship from this chance encounter.
Give me a just a moment I begged as I placed a palm on your leg that made you wince, how could you be convinced that fear was the wrong emotion?
Could I use humor to put you at ease or would promises to please invoke the response that I seek?
Refusal to admit incompatibility or inability to persuade I pressed on allowing you to continue your charade… pretending you weren’t the least bit intrigued.
I saw that smile out of the corner of your mouth that was meant for me. I saw your eyes light up as you glanced at a possible future with this debonair suitor.
Covering your mouth trying to hide your embarrassment that you treated my pursuit as harassment, you cleared your throat.
I waited patiently, possibly an apology or even a unique methodology for us to become one would part your lips.
You spoke.
Pointing in the direction behind me, you informed me that the man approaching had rightful ownership to your heart and the very seat I occupied. Your man had arrived.
You stood and embraced the familiar, both of you laughing leaving me behind. Alone as I sat in a damn coffee shop on 5th and Vine.

Hello everyone! In a recent effort to find talented writers and poets, I have received several questions asking about what is the concept and in general- what is P.E.G.S about? Well, here is the story of P.E.G.S
P.E.G.S came to me one day just sitting at work (I should have been working, but anyone who loves to write knows when inspiration hits, the pen and paper rule!) With pen and pad and my mind racing like crazy, I thought about my earlier Poetry.com days when I met a lot of great poets and they were from all walks of life and ages and that is basically how P.E.G.S came to fruition. I meshed together the fact we all loved to write, coupled with the the valuable capacity to learn from older and younger writers respectively. The acronym proved to be a challenge. Some letters came to me easier, but I wanted it to be a name that really captured the meaning of the vision I initially had in my mind. I tossed and turned in my head for it and then it just came to me. The rest they say is "herstory"
What is my vision for P.E.G.S Poets?
My philosophy was really quite simple behind this. I wanted to create a very comfortable space where people could express themselves and be showcased.
Showcased? Why?

the drumbeat starts to play
as heartbeats drown as one
like magic confusion goes away
as you took hold of my hand...
like a long-running love song
the mystery of emotions serenade
underneath is one sweet notion:
"maybe love is ours to take."
No trembling hands no butterflies
each look a welcome coaster ride
wonderment's in each quest for answers
the fun's in all the things he hide...
And so she sleeps in softness
of her candy-coated dreams,
of cherry lip gloss kisses;
where all is sweet ---
just as he is.

Your eyes my love are the same
That met mine oh so many years ago
Tears flooding my soul at this moment
Together keeps us alive- keeps us holding on;
I'm ready, but love I don't want to go
The tenderness shared will let us endure forever
Spanning across time
Forsaking distance
You will always have me to hold
Though the time has betrayed us now
I'm ready, but love I don't want to go
Take my hand and let's walk across the memories
That brings light to this freshly fallen night
Shhhh...quiet now
It's time for farewell's good-bye
Let me disappear like a shooting star
Ahead of you, I'll never travel too far
Whisper my name in the fall of Autumn
Should loneliness ever come
Let happiness hold you if you will
And remember with a fire in your heart
That I love you
Forever.
Even still...
May you never come to know
No matter how ready
I never wanted to go....

(For Angie. Thank you for sharing a small piece of your Mom with me)
By Grace I came to be
Her strength and indominable
Spirit resonates through me
The woman who stands here today
Is only through Grace
Falter I may
Wobble I just might
But because of Grace
I know how to stand and fight
Hard on me yes, she was
But I know now it was done all out of love
She prepared for me anything
For the lessons learned have taught
Me to handle life's stings
Small she stood
But oh what an incredible woman she was
Not a day goes by that I don't feel her
Fierce independence and humor
Alone I smile. I laugh. I remember
Though her presence is now absent
I thank God each day for this Grace he sent...

If i could only name each heartbeat
born anew with a single smile
Each chill you send running down my spine..
I would..
but i could only drown in those eyes...
If i could muster up the courage,
and do more than just to stare
I'd kiss your lips and let you know I care..
I could..
but sadly wouldn't dare...
If i could bottle up sensations
i'd keep them near beside my bed,
then i'd only have to reach out
to get you out from inside my head..
oh I would..
in all the ways i could...
but i could only write you verses,
and whisper a prayer or maybe three-
that i'd have the power to love you
with all i am and will ever be..
as you captivate and break me,
falling deeply - helplessly..

silent..deadly..the taste of regret
poison each chain;
Like cowards, each whisper taunt
a traitor of promises
Each passing day the lies
overpower truth
& the once familiar warmth
turns cold ; a deadly blow..
selfish ignorance
naivity stains trust;
Loyalty loses name;
Respect shamelessly claimed---
-in imposition
by an undeserving adam
without testosterone
whose skin sheds
but never changes...
-clinging to the naivity
and selfish ignorance
branded by your name.
No more lies... so in honesty
respect turns its back on your display
of sordid friendship - tattered by
twisted philosophies..
Too young...Too ignorant...
Too much...
(*a tribute to the friendship you buried and took for granted...)

there are things I know don't fit
into the simple valleys of your world...
the very glisten I love is what you hate..
each golden strand that frame my face,
push you away...
this silkened skin; your faded jeans -
we're rugged fashion...
w/ our hearts on our sleeves - we look away,
and yet we hold on,
to each other...
our charade remains unnamed...
the truth we have is far too humble for my pride,
my love commands;
your submission far too harsh
and so i hide...
you laugh - a child - as i raise my tone
to reprimand...
each time you ask, i find that i'm too proud
for your demands...
Too powerful, your beauty and mine
captivate those outside our world-
& we both rule - oh yes, but you crown me
with your heart and callous hands,
each scrape a warmth i love and hate..
your face a blessing & a curse..
I know not if i will stay or run away,
I wonder, how you fell in love
with my promiscuous play...

no i cant bear each moment
why do we have to part?
time is of the essence,
so i give you all my heart..
must we be in denial?
our eyes reveal what's true,
the hypnotic appreciation
- i only find in you..
lately it's been harder
to even walk away..
i look back and sigh
as those eyes beg me to stay..
maybe.. tomorrow,
i shall you give you all of me..
but for now, in sweet surrender,
we must wait.. we shall see...

I caught you in a lingering breeze
Soft, your name
You whispered to me
My ears and shoulders prance in almost bashful shame
My ears and shoulders prance in almost bashful shame
Embraced me in the tenderness of chiffon
I feel your love that touches me often
Oh, spinning in my heart
Weaving you into my being
Love, close is never close enough for me
Dancing whimsically in my soul
Dripping in my memory
Sweet like honey combed
Bellowing
I hear you calling
So, so very soft
Come home...
I hear you calling
So, so very soft
Come home...

...Through my mind
Rolling quietly
Heavy and weightlessly
I feel you echoing
All around and inside of me
Through my existence
You are felt between
The space that separates distance
A touch that makes my hollowness quiver
I am transformed
Changed forever
A bellowing sweet whisper
Hangs in the air
Wrapping me inside its space
So I can breathe when you're not there
...Entered my life
Never saw you coming
Captured me without knowing
My soul touched without hand
My heart rippling
You
Echoing~ ~ ~

I wish I could speak to your brokenness
With mended words
How and where would I begin
To start protect you from
What once existed outside that is now in?
I am torn to shreds
Confused
My direction is full of dread
Hurting my heart that reside inside of you
I wish I knew what to do
Lost is the only thing that finds me
Exposing my wounds
My absolute uncertainty
To know how to heal
The hurt you feel...

Tainted pictures leave me confused
Bruised. Your words of pride pushed through me
Can't you see.
Sour love will never last long enough
Your eyes tell a bluff
You leave my soul in chains
My tears in cuffs.
I walked away to free you You don't believe me but its true
You see, tainted pictures leave me confused
Shattered and bruised
I cannot love you knowing I'll loose
Tell me what you choose
Broken hearts can never pretend
A scare that penetrates will never mend.
Go please let's not tear each other apart
Love is pain they say that's the art.
My plea you dismissed
You threw me out into the abyss,
Now our frame is broken
From the words unspoken
Our history is frozen.
Tainted pictures leave me confused
Ugly and bruised.

It was like poison contained in the perfect body
The venom from his lips corrupted me.
The sensation of his magic motion
Sucked me in, hypnotised me and drove me to devotion.
This man was more than fine art
The epitome of confusion, I don’t know where to start.
His voice whispered a spell
And his eyes oozed with more than I can tell.
He possessed dark forces of ecstasy
And the supernatural level of love almost blinded me.
His essence charmed my sprit into submission
He would speak and I would listen.
I was drugged up from his potion
Before the sun woke and dawn had spoken
He released me back into the world and he was but a substance
And I rose with only disjointed memories of his existence.

imperfection rots my soul - you celebrate in hate
in your eyes i am the sordid daughter led by fate
which intertwined our lives in all of their lost charity
you stab my heart in foolish pride and inhumane brutality
I bleed profusely on the floor and you laugh, unabashed
proud that you have caused my death and wishes it would last
you pounce and drag my lifeless corpse into the realms of hell-
each tear from every nightmare, oh no words can ever tell
how every sin you make is made to exist under my name
and you accuse - you scream, you curse - and not a hint of shame
bruises your mouth..
i hear the tormented cries of a fist-sized machine
gasping and weeping as you take away its bleeding skin
til nothing's left..
in my black dress i walk with a bouquet upon my chest
you lift your hand and begin to hit my face without a rest
without a breath i fall and you mercilessly spat and kicked my head
-if they only knew how you took away each dream i had
how you suffocate me by filling my mouth with grains of sand
stained by regrets - i fall ,you let go of my hand..
some days i wish i never knew your name; your voice i never heard
i could have saved myself from all the cruel hurt
but all's not lost - i find victory from all the pain
my reflection smiles at my throbbing, living brain
which refused to die along with your misery
i live my life and you cannot deny that i have me
me who died a thousand deaths but never dies
a daughter you have killed by all your curses.. all your lies
i live again for my own sake - and maybe for your own
hoping that my resurrection teaches you what is home
and maybe, just maybe you won't die alone..
i retrace each step, each accusation that grew each day
17 years..look at me, i grew up - now hear me say:
"Your very mouth has caused you to lose so much, oh don't you see?
You've begun to lose yourself and now?
tsk.. You're losing me..."
