Nurture the virtues of your eternal soul,
those attributes that are eternal.
Share your best, make it your goal,
let them manifest from the internal.
Let others see what will unfold,
as it extends from within to the external.
Share the creative energy, as you’ve been told,
open your mind like a ripe kernel.
Allow your thoughts to flow like a river,
share your gifts, be a giver.
Don’t hold back, it’s time to deliver,
use all the arrows in your quiver.
Nothing you’re given is meant to be held,
and never a time for talents to be shelved.
Tough, but ever hip,
Our Miss Patience said,
"You all never tip,"
"So, patience is dead."
"Here's some more bad news,"
"You all leave a mess."
"Got grease on my shoes,"
"And stains on my dress."
"Then, when my day ends,"
"And finally get home,"
"My family and friends,"
"Can smell me from Gnome!"
"No more free coffee,"
"And no more free swill,"
"No more sweet toffee,"
"Best just pay your bill."
"Don't like my new rule?"
"Go elsewhere to eat."
"I'll sit by the pool,"
"And put up my feet!"
"Light up a big spliff,"
"Then, when in the mood,"
"I'll take a big whiff,"
"And eat my own food!"
It's conscious.
It's deliberate.
It's empowering to the extent you decide.
Reality is forever up for interpretation ~
Is life ugly or is it beautiful?
Your decisions determine your life,
drag you down or become uplifting.

Pardon, although difficult

The sky is falling for me,
And the earth parts in me,
All I can see is you,
And myself in my sweet dream.
I cannot listen to a sound of a fallen needle,
Or the sound of a flickering candle,
All that matters to me is- I am on my bed,
Tired, anxious and wishing for a bed of roses red.
The bark of a dog,
Window glass white with fog,
I can see only my dream,
In my closed eyes-flowing like a stream.
You have given me the ability to overcome,
Here I do to you proudly come,
To tell you how I overcame the evil,
Helping humanity to rise and punish the devil.
I succeeded with your blessings,
And now come to you,
All I need is hope,
In my mind showing me the ways to cope.
I respect you and love you,
And I also wish well to humanity,
And promise you that I will abolish the evil too,
And save the world from insanity.
My eyes avoid meeting your tongue,
For they abhor the sight of enchanted lung.
My breaths’ casted in hell,
Where I respire amongst broken bells,
My heartbeat enclosed in an abandoned cell.
All to prevent being stung by virtue shunned cause of cursed spell.
Love is a virtue, love is a curse, it can be for the better, or for the worse, love can take a heavy toll, love can sometimes take control, but love is flexible, love can be changed, relying on love, makes people no longer the same. Love you hope to receive for all time, love is a mountain I won’t dare to climb, love I need, but with love comes greed, and greed I have for the love I am given, by love I am driven, so I lose said love and I try to move on, when in love I feel I always have something to prove. - Dylan J. Thomas
Throw an arrow, remember to sharpen it before it reaches it's end target
Who is naïve enough to cross your parameters of closeness
Capture this person whose mere sight you adore
Aim at their legs, your prey will land face first on the floor
Don't be scared, Don't you worry
This is how love is meant to be
Or why would cupid, on his smooth back, so many bad intentions carry?
Or why would the heartbreakers or cheaters not worry about their actions
If they didn't know, love is never a synonym to passion, but pain
To confusion and spiraling games
Love was never stable enough to stay after an orgsm
Love, they repeated over and over
Yet it felt like it had just slipped off their tongue
Bind love in ropes of promises, skim apart their soul
Listen to their heartbeat till the gushing of their bloody lies couldn't be ignored
You'll know when the prey gets too weakened, it can't move
Just fall apart into broken shreds of a beautiful story
Piece by piece, Complete the jigsaw pattern
That lasts people eternity, then you can congratulate yourself
You've caught your prey
Six enlightened tunes
Eight melodies of virtues
To become acclaimed
In the ten skies of the Church
This is the eternal bell
This poem is about a 1,200 year old Manichaean bell (and its inscription) found in Ordu-Baliq (Capital of the Uyghur Khaganate).
Saying "thank you"
Best compliment
To helping hand.
Admit you're wrong
Is humbleness
Down earth virtue.
Show up on time
Is discipline
Is at its best.
Listen not break
Is self-respect
To whom who talk.
Not all inherit a father's noble name,
Some learn deceit, others theft, and shame.
But I, blessed with a virtuous sire,
Inherited values that my heart desires.
My children will learn to reverence age,
With humility and sobriety, they'll engage.
A caring heart, I'll pass on to them,
Diligence and God-fearing, their guiding gem.
Emancipator, Eldorado, Ephaptha too,
Will learn the core values, integrity shines through.
Estevan and Estefan, honesty and love,
Will be their guiding principles, sent from above.
I'll uphold godliness with contentment true,
A legacy of virtue, forever shining through.
she is a virtue
waiting for her is hard
patience is her name
