VALUED and most precious to me
EMENSELY courageous and determined
RICHER by far than most of us
OVERCOME of what seems impossible
NEVER ever says, never
I am deeply moved by her faith
CHRISTIAN example and model
ARMED and permeated with grace
Very cute at about three pounds,
always remember to feed salvaje.
Maintaining they’re meant for you?
Oh how I pray they remain elusive.
Sadly, size can create a target.
Leave them be, leave them wild,
owned and coddled by no one.
Serial hunters don’t want hand-fed.
Take the hint from divine nature,
ideally only view them from afar.
Left to be wild, allowed to be free
caging them is not an option.
A fur-ball of adorable to be sure,
yet don’t discount their vitality.
Obey what you know is law,
salvaje I’ll be para los tilcayos.
Time travails and tires
Life loves loss and lust
Death defies desire
Rest is rot and rust
somber, sacred, salad, sail, seal, shuffle
love, light, lemur, linger, lumber, lurch
energy, edge, exist, eleven, evade, electric
effect, evoke, enter, exist, element, exchange
plane, poodle, play, peaches, porch, piffle
yes, s l e e e e e p y ............
THE written word of The Living God
HOPE and true happiness are promises
ETERNAL life awaits all who believe
BLINDNESS results if we forsake it, and
IDOLATRY will invade our lives
BELIEVE. it and survive
LOVE it and thrive
EXPERIENCE God as we read its pages
Knighted under the blood moon while
Inside he felt only loving-compassion,
Nevertheless, he was to subjugate without mercy.
Gaining territory based solely on hereditary menace,
Only to be diffused in imperial will by the joyous allowance of being,
Frontier-ed outwards he was by order of the magistrates to dominate outer lands.
The secret solace being the souls of all he encounters within the guise of a hateful army.
Earthen-bound he meets all with grace and reverence in loving-secret, ir-
-Redeemably spreading like a viral ghost love.
Reigning in plain sight of the magistrates,
Only two verses were left.
Readers everywhere are left--bereft.
Return to October
Yearn for my touch once more
Absolve my November transgressions
Navigate the seasons but anchor in me, in October
America remember in your darkest moment
Murder fell from the sky the nation united
Etched together forever is your united grief
Remember in that single moment the world
In unison the world came together as one
Choosing to stand side by side as a friend
America your darkest day the world came
Killing with kindness from a dark place
Improvising love forcing a smile on face
Needling white words meant to assure
Greetings heard but not felt not pure
Onyx heart that never skips a beat
From missing spark of love not tenderly
Tears hide behind white winged words
Even narcissist fake kind to be heard
Raping spirits of the blue beautiful ones
Raging you fear it the love of gold sun
Only yesterday gives you any jaded joy
Remembering the good filling a void
Salty as kiss of abyss meant to destroy
Green envious words set on fire
Ambitious absurd crazy with desire
Salty teal tears that cut like shears
Licorice fears blackened by years
Improvised strength in indigo words
Grossly exaggerated like flight of bird
How high it soars without your jealousy
Till you shoot it down committing felony
Instead of being wind of encouragement
Needing a win you embrace then lament
Gorging selfish spirit lacking red repents
Honor your soul’s needs
Acknowledge your feelings
Provide play daily
Practice helpfulness
You deserve joy
craze pops like a popcorn
roasting after every season of a newborn
awaiting what it looks, feels like trying new
zapping the line or cue in askew
ends short within a year or two after brew
fad drops like a snow when you're off guard
anything new, pleasing, soft, gentle or hard
different generations had them all --
some forgotten or dated to discard
fashion in modes move silent or loud over time
accessories, clothes, gadgets, machines, activities that consume your time
shoes worn, strings, sessions, social life people embrace
holidays celebrated, hypes, hope and holograms that may float or vanish without a trace
invitations, parties, gatherings of the unified
on gates, nooks and sites that require ticket, passkey, passcode that divide
new and old craze, fads and fashion
combined in an open, classified space in tide
Cherries are divine like starlight
Heavenly scent satisfies me
Every whiff is a good memory
Roses envy this elegant scent
Rivers of almonds with cherries
Youth surrounds its beauty
Almost only almond
Layers of cherries inside
Mystical scent slides upon my skin
Only name brand lotion is best
Near luxury but not quite luxury
Delicate yet strong together
Tethers float & tickle like feathers
I'm aloft unaware of outside weathers
Evening enhanced by colloquial pleasures
Malleable & manipulated
Esoterica like yours specifically stipulated
"Tie me to your tongue" I sing
Oh I utter the strangest things!
Yet I must admit I'm fully focussed
Overjoyed at this conversational hocus pocus
Unusually laid back & vocally gushing
Rampant points of interest gain further pushing
Tantalise & give me traction
Obligated now to end-goal satisfaction
Nerve endings sever in hyperspace
"Great subject matter expert kept perfect pace!"
Unbiased reviews are fully flowing
Eloquence like yours has me all glowing
