Pearls of the World

In the dark worlds rhyme
There is a sense of humor and time,
With folks of dust and spirit 
Mud and slime mingle in it.
God create the simplicity 
To measure lifespan and integrity.
Found in the human mind,
Use every speech and language we find.
Poetry in beautiful creation, 
So many ways to see a vision.
Of the exquisite pearls in our world,
Dreamers wrote stories from their soul.
Hollywood can’t talk about, 
The meanest and most sniveling out,
All the greatest attributes in the world, 
sit in the same room when it is cold.
In seasons that can smile,
They live only for a short while.
Reasons, and opinions, dreams joined,
Cupid’s half Chase romance denied. 
Inspire the sweet transparency inside,
Burned black as thirst trying to hide. 
Bare secrets wore till torn apart, 
Careless rapture captures the heart.
The dead lies here in oblivious sunshine,  
Drifted petals of the sublime 
Looking up at the tender skies, 
family and friends turn away their eyes,
We wrote about them, mine, and yours
The imperfect pearls of lovely tears.
And all those lonely hearts whose,
Deeds are forgotten with forgiven promise.
Memoires froze upon concrete walls
Rise impeccably above the waterfalls.
Into quiet streams flow and carry nothing away,
In a breath, with so much more to say.
Talents concealed melts in between 
The existence of bright stars in heaven.
