Roses that are naturally growing in the breeze
As such, their dancing presenting pride of silence
Needing not for any comments on their success
Nor for scoring much of the contrived bliss
Presences are irrelevant to any third parties
All them are arranged such as thee and mine
Irrelevance to conditions such as poor or rich
As such, presented natural, fair as much we can
Your heartbeats matched mine, as such, we feel
Deeper than that, understandings are from the innermost
For synthesized breathing made by heartbeats thrill
As such, virtues presented as much as we can

Such are the eyes I pierce
Glazing unto on view
Of my inner man looking back at me fierce
I see the reflection of the 3rd man renew
He's shown me glimpse of Heaven
Of my inner man looking back at meI view
I see with the eyes of the Lord mention
My Father says I am ever His
Ever more
As such

I leave a trail that emanates on every tree that I walk past.
A scent that tells I have been here, that this is my home.
A smell of comfort and sincerity, that is my own presence.
It can be as strong in strength as it can be sweet in attraction.
To you or to your friend it can appear as something unappealing,
to the right people it is a necessary thing.
For the rest, it is an introduction to who I am.
In my own bizarre way I say; Nice to meet you!
How strong my MUSK is, feels like an iron grip.
But don't mask my MUSK, there is no reason to or just because.
It's just me walking along, and my scent has to be in the air.
So I can see those who want to fight, and those who are amorous.

You were loved once
just because
but in defiance of your lot
perhaps in spite
learned to dance, love again
Think it's hidden
in diamond's luster
or hereafter
not all the smiles
nor outpour of laughter
Educated, ready to reach
the brass ring's test
understanding even less
of life's best
Trade in yesterday for
sister's and brother's
just a taste
of tomorrow's forevers
never promised, nor bothered
I'll never tell you it's so
if you want or don't
who'd think I could ever know
when you will or won't?
Never can be too sure
if anything will last
channel'd from someone or
something
remains from ages past
Run faster hoping time will never
catch up, to all this
ask you to pay amends
for moments chastened
now missed
Try to catch the wind
sleeping
best to practice touching..
keeping
No, you won't remember hard times
if it were up to me
staring into a lion's eyes,
from where you came
on the way to where you'll be
Return to doctor's orders
hold on to praise won
pray all turns right
before the ending' sun
Ten's beauty is half as such
twelve is way too much
make due with that special
someone
just because

I am not a jealous person by nature;
But if I had to share you with God;
Your heart your love I would be crazy;
For the maker of your soul the Father of your spirit;
He who holds Your Love first;
Master Creator whom models you from clay and dirt;
For in the foray of things you are His first;
I'm just a human vessel; in this humanitarian vessel;
Question? Am I just naughty by nature;
No! Come unto me allow me to embrace you;
A love as such as this must be shared with God;

Our misty eyes were destined for each other
when at last we met at crossroads by the brook.
Where some hidden hand of fate did gently guide
us up enchanted pathways known to but a few.
Passed the prickly rose bush shepherd on each side of us,
passed barren plains worn out by trampling hoofs,
toward the ever arching slope that slowly rises
above time and earthly longing.
Beyond that peak which openly invites
each climber to ascend heavens of their own design.
To blissful acme edging over skyline haunts
from which no one yet has ever dared return.

I've tasted her, breath it was sweet;
I envisioned her eyes her soul rested there;
I held her heart as her mind beats;
Caressing her thoughts I got caught up here;
I loved her spirit as it flows with mine;
Her touch was such gentle kind;
Dearest darling soul you're such a find;
Would you eternally be forever mind;

As such, moments are passing with happiness by my side
why do I feel in life there’s something lacking side by side
Relations, loyalty, friendship, with all I am glad
What is the matter with me my heart’s feeling sad side by side
Every moment is wonderful for fresh desires for life
Dreams in my eyes I have and smiles on my lips side by side
My desires are fulfilled, satisfaction too and longings too
My heart has no complaints with anybody by my side
God is merciful and compassionate with a big heart
Why do I feel something lacking in my life side by side.

A simple touch
Is all it takes
Little as such
Is all it makes
If it will
It shall
One simple tale
Will tell
Come along
It all begins
We belong
Reality and dreams
It all comes
For you and me
It all runs
To once more be
If all it takes
Is a simple touch
If all it makes
From little as such

Besides the insides
That pound and beat
From all disappering
Things that float
On endlessly
In outer spaces
I can't seem to
Understand
There is a tiny
Part that
Keeps it in
Besides the storms
That crash and smash
Into all existing
Things that melt
Away seemlessly
In darkend skies
I can't seem to
Believe
There is a way
Through this
Natural mess
Besides the persons
That come and go
Into all reality
Things that break
So easily
In my truths
I can't seem to
Know
Them when they
Arrive and leave
Me behind

A poem's a painting of a verse
whose artist never once rehearsed
the hues that he himself conceived
for print.
For poetry cannot be taught,
nor can the perfect poem be sought--
a poet's words are not produced,
but sent.
A poem's a planted evergreen,
the likes of which no one has seen,
whose leaves are luscious and exempt
from wane.
For poetry cannot be stopped,
nor can existing trunks be chopped--
the trees of ancient planters still
remain.
A poem's a lie sincerely sold
or truth that is corruptly told,
completely clear or indistinct
when read.
For poetry cannot be wrong,
nor can it ever not belong
to life-- the two forever will
be wed.
A poet is a medium,
and through his art the world becomes
available to be perceived
as such.
A poem can never be or say
too much.

Through all things, day to day events
of fast portions, let one thought stand
tall in your mind; you are, always have been, and always will be human.
As such you were born will live and will die imperfect.
Fear not however because this imperfection is what makes you,
I, and all we know true.
It is the blood that flows in our veins, the music that fills our ears,
and the very endless fuel that burns within our soul.
Strive never then for perfection that is not perfection
at all but only the imperfection of another strive only to retain
at your core your own imperfection, your own uniqueness,
that is your very soul.
