W himsical wind chimes,

I n my mused state.
T orrential downpour of
I deas, integrating with tea.

W omen are priceless treasures only mined with the loveliest tool of a caring heart
O ptimism is defined in their ingenuity with a worth irreplaceable as life
M en becomes helpless babes without cleaving to them in their lonely life journeys
E arth becomes lifeless without their wombs bearing fruit
N eed is no necessity without their hands’ industry of excellence
A ngels they are but without wings
R evolutionary to the core but lenient in their touch
E motions best dictionary the world has ever discovered
P ain is told and subdued by them even in the pangs of childbirth
R est is ensured by them even in times of terror
I deas are not only dreams to these treasures as they turn houses into homes
C hildren are sheltered in them for nine months without paying any rent or utilities
E nthusiastic of a kite flying against the tide is their vision for distinction
L oyalty is their hallmark as their fragility is ruined with their lovers’ betrayal
E ndless is their love when respected and refined with tender loving care
S easoned in their preserved taste, a blend of sugar and salt
S ervice is their trounce against society’s challenges
T alented to cook in the kitchen and rule in government
R iches are discovered only by the wise
E xperienced in the times and seasons of life
A spiring to the horizon with hopes that can touch the seat of God
S ensitive to perceive a needle fall or ticking clock
U nderstandable to the desires of crying of babies or the kisses of fathers
R eachable notwithstanding distance or difficulty
E ducators in their natural state, turning crawling babies into running heroes
S pecial in their makeup, priceless as treasures
T hanks to you
O ur family blends
M aking
Y esterday, today and tomorrow
P lesant memories
O nce we met
E verything changed
T ogether we clicked
R ight from the start
Y es we are a family
S erious about
O ur dreams
U tterly willing to help
P roud of their accomplishments
F eeling elated at their progress
R ight on hand in case
I deas are needed
E ncouragement provided
N ew views to share
D edicated to our calling
S miles to show we care
I ntuition, I've discerned, usually leads to the right conclusion.
N othing is ever so simple that I'd consider it without examination.
T houghts are often tempted to trust titillation instead of theory.
R eflections and meditation always help me in making decisions.
O bservation can be a useful aid to gain a clearer understanding.
S eeking answers through speculation can slant my thoughts.
P erceptions from my heart are reveries based solely on emotions.
E yes that see with scrutiny only gather a glimpse of what is fact.
C onclusions drawn from brooding contemplation is often pretentious.
T aking my imperfections into consideration, I won't judge another.
I deas and reasons change as quickly as the sun sets into the sea.
O pinions are recognized by most people as not being worth a penny.
N ever will I allow my ego to assume my assessments are correct.

Introspection Acrostic
John Hamilton
Worthy of making decisions and drafting conclusions
Ideas manufactured from careful observation and scrutiny from a
Sound mind soaked in constant learning and
Dipped in the dense sea of understanding
Only the unwise settle for just any result, because
Matured thinking and calculative views give an excellent product
B ring America’s renewed greatness, please, “Deal Maker.”
R eality: opinions bring new understanding.
I magine opposed views seated around debate’s table.
N ot to rip one another, but to find solutions.
G raciousness listens and considers with open hearts.
I deas instinctively introduced can be tamed.
N othing ever benefits by close-mindedness.
G reatness comes to those who open their hearts and listen.
I ntuition imagines her truths instinctively.
T he tablet of reason writes our future; considers.
T ogether at that table, new hopes can be explored.
O ffensiveness and status quo must face one another.
T rump, is the “Deal Maker” for the “American Dream.”
H allowed halls of understanding believe in success.
E very dream has been placed in his hands with new hope.
T alking together with self-control seeks empathy.
A ltruism arises from all humanity.
B elieving and reason together must seek successes.
L est we watch anger and conflicts rip man asunder.
E verlasting peace is grown by love, Americans.

Weeping Rose
Black is her color,
The empty space where her heart use to be.
Weeping in pain,
Pain for the ones who hurt her.
Torn are her thorns,
The thorns that tightly held onto him.
Fragile is the rose,
The rose you just destroyed.
By.Michael Deas
Dedicated to Destroyer
Deep within the shadows,
I slither out from under your bed.
To feed upon your dreams as you sleep,
Like a demon I wait for the slightest chance.
The breath that crawls upon your neck,
As your spine tingles from the whispers of my words.
So shut your eyes and slowly count to three,
To hide from the shadow that is your reality.
So as you lay down to sleep,
And when the lights go out,
I will creep from the darkness in your closet.
Because I am the dark reality of your life.
The tears and moans from your screams at night.
You hide me as the sun rises and the shadow fades.
I lay awaiting underneath this mask of light.
I will be awaiting for the lights go out.
Michael Deas
ME AGAINST MYSELF
'C-an you read my mind? '
A-s the Superman song goes;
T-hink anything you want,
H-eavenly Father truly knows.
E-ternal God reads your mind,
R-ecognizing your thought from the sky;
I-deas cannot be hidden,
N-ot even your memory's
E-ye.
P-lan is perfectly clear,
E-ven opinion is not far behind;
N-ew day seventeenth of May,
A-lmighty God reads your mind.
R-eal lover of art and literature
O-ver the years, that creates
G-enuine and original ideas
E-xpressed through highly dedicated works
R-evering the value of writing as a form of expression.
C-onstantly promoting originality and forbids
A-ny kind of vicious imitation.
R-everberating the spirit of
V-aluing the sanctity of the
I-deas of others, so real
S-elf esteem and sense of ownership will be achieved.

Meddling Maude has a dangerous belief
that she knows better than others
she can raise your child and discipline it too
whatever you do, probably needs tweaking
and she is glad to be the tweaker
She does not see any benefit to keeping opinions to yourself
Maude shares her brilliant advice with people she encounters
strangers on the street are given tips and tidbits
About what they are doing wrong
And how they could do them more right
Maude rapidly makes snap pea decisions and judgements
Lavishly slathering these ideas and suggestions on
her family and co-workers
She used to help her “friends” out too
But most of them have shunned her
They do not respond to her texts.
This does not stop her from leaving her ingenius deas
as to how they can improve on their answering machines.
