Pains with no reprieve
You take joy in seeing my heart bleed,
Because of your avarice and greed.
The pains you caused come with no reprieve,
Yet you’ve the audacity to leave.
I invested every ounce in you,
Your ponderings control all I do.
My bitter cries you heedlessly sought,
Yet you’re blind to the hatred you brought.
How can your mind ever be at peace,
When the

Greed
Greedy, bitter, jealous, and lustful women with free range
Unfortunately the masks are off; they will be treated estrange,
Impersonating many people with prideful alter ego capacity
Self absorbing made them all grin and behave with audacity,
The investigation warrants for a list of charges and sentences fairly
The tables have turned over abruptly loud and unceremoniously,
They never expected major

Be Bold
your worrying will not change the outcome
so take a deep breath and another
renew your strength
prepare to deal with whatever happens
rebuild your bridge to the future
be bold be brave be strong
you've been through worse
and life did get better
you have nothing to fear
you are a survivor you are a fighter
and no thing or no one can crush

Extreme Audacity
Audacity has a negative connotation
That I despise with a conspicuous passion
It’s fine for somebody to be bold
And not to be too arrogant and cold
Where narcissistic images or horns emerge
Like insatiably bad worms that nothing can purge.
Audacity is not an outstanding quality
Or a special virtue; it is nevertheless an appalling pity.
When one is immersed in deceits

The Audacity of God
In the Book of Genesis, the Creator existed in a void
Miracle after miracle, a heavenly drama of intrigue
Choosing to create flesh rather than an android
On the seventh day, He did not rest out of fatigue
Declaring that He would create humanity in His image
With tender hands, God shaped the clay to create him
The heavens marveled at

Audacity of Hope
The Audacity of Hope
Day, fresh and fearless;
Night, a distant dream;
The sadness of noon,
gone.
The sun sheds radiance on a new moon,
Crowning the hills in beauty and gold.
In blissful awe, the mountains
Welcome the rains to the green.
Like dew, promiscuous fortunes,
Swallowed by the Yew.
A newborn, birthed with hope.
Desire, dare, seek.
Resign regrets, despise doubt.
Ponder, pause, pray.
Toil in the mines

Her
she gave me courage constantly
supported me leaning on my side proudly
made me shine like the morning sun
I glow as a sunflower my heart filled with fun
Dum spiro, Spero to mean it all with positive
for my perception is different, I have another perspective
compos mentis tells me about her
wild thoughts and the dazzling personality pattern
for luck

Audacity of Democracy
Are you,
or have you ever been,
a Trumpist?
Asks the Restorative Justice Committee
inviting an open discussion
with Christian evangelicals
about their new green global loyalties
And how this anticipation
of restoring justice
through green/blue climates
and unred-undominating cultures of peace
has been influenced,
or not,
by EarthPatriotic repentance.
In hindsight,
said a representative
of the StraightWhiteMale Clergy Association,
I first began reflecting on,
"Who is my social capital competitiveness
willing to sacrifice,

Audacity
Have I not marched enough alone, with a flag, but no home?
Does my spine bend, not break, from the scorn of my own?
My most jagged break from you is declaring myself Lord God of that which encompasses me.
I’ll still need you to avoid stepping on my sneakers.
I’ve found myself frying pieces of other lives, then

yet faces her fear head on
she goes spelunking.

Capacity For Audacity and Elasticity
Capacity For Audacity and Elasticity
We were trying to stretch the issue a bit
and must admit so it will fit.
Could be we came up with the capacity,
To be able to adulate all of the audacity;
When stretched,
Was Far fetched;
Evidently do encourage use of elasticity.

If Audacity Could Make a Sound
if audacity
had sound
or could make sound
I would imagine
a shattering heartbreak
I cannot not tell
if it is little angels disguised as demons
or little demons disguised as angels

and which is also all that I have always known

The Audacity
I want to write a poem about one person
- human being
Who?
I don't know
But it is someone I strive to be
Perfection- maybe
Am I going to ever get there?
I make mistakes along the way
What is that person like?
She is not selfish
Think of others first
Generous to a fault
Always giving and look for ways to give
Because she knows that
She

Audacity of Hope
Life will never give you what you desire
Life will always give you what you deserve
Because faith can never take the place of sacrifice
There's no substitute for hardwork
you give in, you get back
that's how it works
Crisis are God's wake up call
so in that mess
that situation you find yourself just
