Let's play with new things, catching a new approach,
I am happy with bringing new things into the next epoch,
Constructing a method by defining each step as its own coach,
Sitting on its own as a key step because I am doing research.
I am an inventor, I am a researcher, I am a philosopher, I am an innovator,
Converting the knowledge from one to another because I am a converter,
I set the goal to reach the final destination and continue as a path setter,
Moving with no mistakes, no fear, with belief in myself because I am a creator.
Exuding a quiet strength
Stilled in a peace of
Monk-like endurance
This, in the tree, most admired
Debunked in advance.
By whom, from out what blows up
Storm-faced, spreading fear
Frowns on the sunlit:
"This, so much hangs o'er men's hearts
I'll bend, then break it"!
Imagine living on the planet Venus being one’s own
King and Queen Venus
Galactic atmosphere
Romantic ultimate vibes
Committability
Chestnut Loins on fire
Kisses among the Stars
Love privacy
Enchanting hand holding together
Venus being victorious
Together as a force
Setting our own boundaries
Adam and Eve Principal style
Venus describes our romance as V-VARIES, E-ESSENCE, N-NATURAL, U-UNITY and S-SERENE
Every thought, moment and soul surrounding being never apart
Venus intrigued with desire
So much promise
Love honest
Venus today into tomorrow shooting us through our own Milky Way.
Lovely girlish figure be damned.
I’m having that cheesecake no matter what.
Just try to stop me.

cicadas grow old
their voices fading softly
autumn approaches
Bookstores were my life’s mooring
Where my spirit felt both shy and effusive
Shy, bashful, a girl wearing her heart on her sleeve,
Effusive, flowing about the pages – impulsive,
Resisting the urge to plow through the words
Without indulging in the crisp scent of this new novel.
If this makes sense to you or you
Relate then read.
I approach to see where are all my
Memories of me to be? Where are they of me? I PUT ON discrete. I must see of thee. Where I am now nobody can say of an alarm? Heeey. I am willing.
A partisan particle and a participant. How Will you cope? cop a coin?! YOU CLAIM FORLORN?! You BOAST then choke on your own WORDS? of apathy YET claim a friendship with me?! I approach you are of bleeding knees. Should I PITY? ooh. Do not BLEED your blood on my FEET! I approach I seek the EXPANSE of my reward.
A most EXPENSIVE which any can afford! DOES NOW MY PRESENCE
LICK THESE LEAVES? I will BE in your SIGHT! THEN, you will know ME BY YOUR FRIGHT!!!
I APPROACH....

Mali Mali Mali ????
I am like a fragile deer
Approach carefully and beware
Not to startle me or I
Will run off, I'm very shy
If your slow and really quiet
With your love I just might try it
But be speedy and go fast
You will not even get past
Saying hello, you will lose
So be cautious how you choose
To start this relationship
Use a loose and gentle grip
You'll get all of my attention
My heart will have no objection
I will stay without the fear
Knowing your heart really cares
But a tight grip holding me
Will make me go wild and free
No chance of me giving you
Love and care a lifetime through
I've been run off by too many
Men who thought that they had plenty
Of charisma, grace and charm
Which just caused a lot of harm
So now I am very skittish
Think about the choices of this
Be smart, don't come at me quick
Because you think your so slick
a sapphire quarry
rainstorms of an Autumn dawn
stulm's wet lavenders

Approach of Wind, it chills
in a particular way.
Unexplainable, how it carries in competing tandem,
of unknown elements brought into the arena, bare.
Doctor's bag opened of winds,
surgical biopsy underway,
in new mandated trailways.
Membraned channels of envelope streams
holds aloft vapors of vial serums,
like a bassinet with black wings.
Intheorium sends it's postage.
It soothes the Cesarean Earth in her pangs,
for mankind's evil is great. How can it stand to be.
So he sends them a strong delusion
so that they may believe a lie.
Armies shall pillage the Family and
upend the carts in the Marketplace.
Souls shall be scattered to the four winds, looking desperately for a compass
that can find the head.
Delivery, once slow, has increased exponentially.
Magma rivers will haunt the landsape like lions,
Nemian.
Great forges looking for gold to smelt into idols of Pompeii.
For he shall stand in his Pomp in the Temple,
then sit, as if he is God.
Would I write as much as I do today?
Only to satisfy what I see and hear,
Makes my life very clear.
Politics have gone awry,
No one looks you in the eye.
When they do you know they lie.
Hiring signs are hung everywhere,
No one wants to work over there!
Immigrants are coming fast; with luck the jobs will last!
No food, water, or shelter, it won't get better!
Who will survive?
We certainly can't thrive!
War has a use,
As do viruses, and killing guns,
Reduction in population!
As a nation we should cheer it on!
Wordy puncture
Sentence banding around the wound
Get Well approach
Maybe a joke or two here and there
Blood pouring from the soul
Painful felt
Surrounded dealt
Allegorizing thought
Let the thought just soothe
Healing is the key
Emotions of anguish
The Band-aid a healer’s helpful friend
Sentence the band-aid over the cut
Stay put
Band-aid bandage
Approach Poet control
Let heal
For real
Sometime the sea makes you feel at ease
Then there are other times, sea please
The seasick feeling
The body that becomes unwilling
Over the waves
Now behave
Look below
A boat moving slow
Sea of wonder
A Lighthouse and shore yonder
Some say the seas are a friend
The question would be when?
Sea tail
Maybe the time I was drinking Ale
Breezes just confusing the senses
Ships seeing ships
Ever now and then a dip
A captain saying, “Sea legs tip”
Nonetheless, seas into miles of ocean
Emotions forming motion
Seas surrounded
Cruising over mighty waves
Maneuvering with the wind
Seas that always can
Sea guidelines when
Cruising without sinking
Chicken little thinking
Let me think for a moment,
Instead of jumping into high gear,
Speeding into the daily tasks,
Then wondering what I missed!
In those first morning moments,
Calm down, reflect on the gift that has been given.
Listen while this home is still quiet.
Everything will take on a different hew.
