Black By Design
Black by Design 

Life 
sparkles
in 
sultry,
smoky eyes.    
Velvet 
smooth, 
black skin      
patterned from 
heart and soul of
Africa’s  
fertile
womb…    
cherished 
creation
fashioned 
by  
breath of 
God!

Premium Member Daybreak By Design
an eager morning sun is rising
though the moon still hangs pale over the water
and all things trivial cease to matter
when earth and sky are compromising 

I'll find dawn's beauty by design
and find, as well, joy overcome
my heart, my soul, while watching from
the window of day-night,...

“By Design”

By design
other dimensions
astonishing alien fields 
different shades
of dark and light
intradimensional beings
strange lives 
surround us
we are oblivious
to their invisible kingdoms
their unique opinions
their different addictions
their mysterious freedoms
part of ours, under cover
in our infected delirium
dissolving over-rated
control and power
dissolving
food for thought
dissolving
seconds in minutes
in hours

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)

Premium Member Breathing By Design
The logical conclusion of overpopulating
overly-competitive and aggressive human natural dominant trends,
of suicide and other irrationalities
and errors in self/other-enculturation
through evolutionary cooperative multisensory sciences and arts and history
and myth and logos-icons of symmetric rhythmic 
exegetical not-not (0) ego/ecobalance

Alive By Design
The earth is a living thing oh yes indeed, alive by design
the earth was made to glorify and worship the Lord.
This is not merely some ancient misguided folklore or notion.
The air... the lungs we use to breath.  The water is teaming
with life beneath its...

Heaven By Design
Heaven By Design

Women are wonderfully designed like angels bangles   
Soft tingling sounds glow on, with spiritually profound beliefs
Beautifully flying on the wing their hair in tangles                 ...

Manic By Design
Too fast! It hurts!
It travels at lightspeed!
Ruins calm. More than I need!
Help me please!
This monster brings me to my knees!
Wild eyed. Animal's panic.
No reason. Life is just Titanic.
Too much to see, need, read.
Copious substance.
Im a glutton when I feed.
I would give anything to be basic!
I...

Origin By Design
On my upcoming vacation
wouldn't mind going to 
visit a creation museum,
for instance,
seeing the one in Kentucky
would be one of my life long dreams,
growing up I heard at
school a lot of evolutionary tales,
so in my youth I thought
we all used to be more
hairy and walk around...

Interwoven A-B-A-B- the rhymes.
Ten syllabically are read per line.
Written -- nature, sullen, and benign times....

Luck Is the Wave Emitted By Design
luck is the wave emitted by design
it loses itself in the wake
that wanders into the horizon
never to be heard from again
questioning only drives away
the purpose behind acceptance
there are things in this world
that just are
why i see myself
when i touch you
as a falcon perched upon your...

And beautiful by design
Gaudy with blue hue
Your purity is virtue
Makes a graceful man stumble...

By Design
By design, I was created to tranquilize your mind,
enter your world and cause it to align,
protect your spirit from the unkind,
be your inspiration, 
support your vision, 
help you to give birth to your mission.

By design, I was molded to mesmerize your mind,
lips that taste like...

Fatal By Design
Fatal By Design




Humans are as fatal as a motorcar,


Born only to die in a head on collision with death.


It’s just waiting to happen; there is no escape.



Your future’s bleak; revel in it.




Fatal by design, born only to die.


Fatal by design, born only to die.

Death By Design
Trust an illusion and hope thrice blind
a weary traveler lost in time
pounding on a silent door
thundering truths and forgotten lore
dare we build a bed of stone
as we lie awake alone

lightening with no place in time
a poem forged from death and rhyme
watery grave and shallow shore
mark...
