Disclaimer: This is about actual canines that kept barking when they heard English voices.


They threaten us then,
Those violent Portuguese dogs,
Posturing angry,
It saddens me that they hate us,
Those barking Portuguese dogs.

You're called a pastel de nata,
You're just a fucking custard tart,
The hype and buzz is worth nada,
You're called a pastel de nata,
You're not really any better,
Pastry's different, but at heart,
You're called a pastel de nata,
You're just a fucking custard tart,

I've been alone more than I've been with someone,

Its part by choice, part fickle chance uncaring,
I rarely meet a mate I might consider,
And when I do I find myself quickly undone,
You see I have a thing for women bold and daring,
Its about their mind, their passion, not their figure.

Maybe there's a reason  I can't find a love to last.

I want someone independant fierce and free,
With a mind quick and sharp as obsidian,
A will to match mine, bend and twist, but never break,
In short a person who can stand up to me,
With such a tongue and wit ophidian,
And a kindness that's impossible to fake,
I've searched and found now and in the past,
Such people need a freedom unsurpassed.

Maybe there's a reason  I can't find a love to last.

There is a solution that's second to none,
Simply the thought can leave my heart flaring,
Its hard on me to try though, here's the kicker,
I can't push or trick,I simply have to leave them be,
And hope that they make me their meridian,
I let them go and hope they choose of me to partake.

Maybe there's a reason  I can't find a love to last.

I don't write poetry all that often, sometimes I'm moved to do so though.  This is an older piece and Sharps play with form has in turn inspired me to share my own:

well i been playing almost everyday since i joined back in jan.2016 and since then i made some good friends but now all my friends has either moved on to a different game or quit playing altogther and with the lack of content added im also losing faith and stuff to do in the game i been prem 3 months and all they added is what one pose for girls and what 3 outfits thats it i mean even people are getting tired of watching the pole dancing and then they release stuff like the shooting gallary that been open for months and we still cant use it and the casino is going to be the same way so im tired of getting hurt when my friends leave me without saying a word..this game has alot hope in it to be a great game it just the lack of content make people lose interest in the game..im not saying bye forever im just saying bye for now maybe one day they will add something to draw me back to it but as of right now im done i hope my friends that i have left will wait for me and if they dont i guess its goodbye.

Looks like its a brand new day, guess I, should try,
To stand, get up, then greet it, new adventures,
Await, don't mourn yesterday, love the mem'ry,
Hope for the future.
