she lived in a world of lopsided pinks, yellows and purples
he favored tans, grays, blacks and crisp clean white
they disliked each other the first few times they met
their encounters were as catastrophic as a natural disaster
This changed when they were stuck in an elevator together
It happened at 5:47 p.m. on a Friday night in 1979.
They were the only two in there – chameleon and analytic.
This was before cell phones, and the elevator phone was broken.
At first, they were silent, not paying attention to each other.
But she is a Gemini, and Gemini loves to talk and listen.
She coaxed information out of this set-in-his-ways Libra.
Their friends said it would never last.
They are still married forty-six years later
colorful witch stole a cat, a broom, a stagecoach too
Last I saw her she was on the Oregon Trail said Lou
A posse chased her, I think I saw John Wayne with a badge.
That is truly curious said an analytic named Madge.
he was a classic analytic
logic overruled his feelings
he put every thought into a box
wanted symmetry in his life
his home was full of squares and circles
he refused to acknowledge stars, streaks or bumps
preferred tan, gray and black to bright colors
surrounded by neatly filed papers and people
never noticed chameleons, or shapeshifters
content with a grayscale life
never enthusiastic or excited
bland, boring and blah
God made her black;
She draws no attack...
Against His plan to shine,
What lust and fun do dine.
Beauty is of duty,
To value skin so sooty
Off cosmetic stupidity:
Intelligently fruity.
The key to her heart;
Money drives but not wide,
Lies penetrate but not apart,
Love tightened so to take side.
The key to her mind;
Reasoning gears up but not accurate,
Guess measures but not actually bind,
Conviction brightens so to be moderate.
The key to her soul;
Breath handles but not authentic,
Sickness threaten but not whole,
Living boosts so to be analytic.
I'm always proceeding being righteous
and opportunist, simultaneous.
I’m stubborn with my ego,
Yet for truth, I can forego.
I’m strict analytic, oblivious.
Me : Simple , Analytic , Dynamic, Enthusiastic.
Compassionate, Truthful, Ambitious, Courageous !
Mathematician : Not Religious but Righteous.
Elegant lady, graceful, majestic
Mathematician and analytic.
Lover of literature and music.
Friendly, helpful, compassionate, frolic.
Reasonable rational and righteous,
honors moral values, not religious.
Impulsive, prompt, acting spontaneous.
Dutiful, dynamic and courageous.
Optimist ! Ambitions not to give up.
Inherited brilliance owning brain sharp.
Drinking dreamy desires from hopeful cup.
Endures failure taking an easy burp.
Takes life as a challenge at every step.
Path of life not even, may take an odd shape.
Ready to confront, never to escape.
Peace -loving, yet on need, ready to skelp.
Some think of geometry as art,
but I don't include Renes Descartes.
A philosopher of calibra,
he combined geometry with algebra.
When in a pickle or a fix he
was not only just whistling Dixie.
He was writing down equations,
perfect for geometric occasions.
Non- living world to hold hidden consciousness.
Under some favourable circumstances
asd suitable environ, life originated from non- living sources.
Started journey
through unicellular to multi -cellular organism
accommodating plant kingdom
and entering into animal world.
Process of evolution went on billions of years
very slowly and still going on under gradual refinement.
Realisation sprouting from intangible intuition
twined with cognitive impulsion
igniting dormant consciousness.
Conflagrating confluence of confusion
leading to path of enlightenment
breaking contour of ignorance
converging to consciousness.
Consciousness is capability of analytic judgement
overpowering 'selfishness, greed, malice
Strong sense of right and wrong,
confidence to count on justice.
supporting sanity and humanity.
Continuous evolution of consciousness running
excelling and refining to reach summit,
merging to supreme power.
Transcend Fear and Anxiety
FEAR and ANXIETY
enter mind endangering efficiency
acting awfully against analytic approach
Try to transcend with tact and competence.
Oblivious solution lies in dependence on self-confidence.
Out of fear, don’t lose your gear.
Value your skill driving out anxiety.
Chase fear challenging nervousness causing anxiety
More you are anxious, more you will miss.
Anxiety all around far or near, known or unknown.
Fear may attack severe or mild, off and on.
Overpower anxiety through your smartness.
Break claws of paws of awe : You are awesome fearless.
EVOLUTION
Analytic rationalisation.
Ongoing progress of civilisation.
on scientific realisation :
That's the Theory of Evolution.
Blind process on Natural Selection.
If (I / you) were to observe (myself / yourself),
Would (I / You) really know (myself / yourself)?
-----------------------------------------------
We prosper but we also strain -
This "Game of Life" is that refrain.
It carries on from day-to-day
And we stay steadfast in the fray
Playing our roles up to the hilt,
Life's psycho-social endless tilt -
Casting our lots on roulette's wheel,
Love's psycho-analytic deal.
Gazing into the mirror's face
It's who we are in that embrace.
It's what and why we can't explain -
Our Egos whitewash loss and gain.
We strive to find identity
And picture what we'd hope to be.
At times we feel it's all for naught
When falling short from what we've sought.
Stagnating in complacency
We hold on most tenaciously
To limits of expectancy
For what we'll suffer change to be.
Our portraits in the attic wait
To frame the essence of our fate.
The chronicle of life is great
And Truth, through time, applies the paint.
Most will be shown with minor flaws -
Some, as affronts to norms and laws
But all, one day, will be displayed;
How will your likeness be portrayed?

Don’t allow stagnancy, go DYNAMIC.
Respect Universal Moral Values.
Implement in your life : Patent’s views.

What I Believe
Contest by Angela Tune
Adoration admiration ran mutual.
We loved each other, never tied, social
but strong bond continued, only emotional.
Strange! Righteous, not Religious yet Rational !
But Analytic openness went parallel.
Unfortunately met in our late old age.
Repented! Why not in youth? Now both lost courage.
While lying In death bed he sent me his message:
“Attained fulfilment in you though without marriage!
In happy mood now settling on my last passage.”
