How convenient it is too see
thanks to Thomas Edison's scientific mastery.
What do you suppose he would think of us,
visiting some place like Las Vegas?...

Premium Member Made For Mastery
God made man in His own image
to rule over His creation.
Not according to his own whim,
but following God’s dictation.

God’s dominion is based on love,
it’s how He rules heaven above.
Man was to mimic his maker,
not to become a lawbreaker.

Sin ruined the nature of man
and put him...

One of the smallest, 
most powerful words
in the English language
is “Yet”
the next is
“Will”.

Mastery of Self
The anxious sense of self
Forged in a flawed reality
The blind internal drives
Percolating in the cortex just beneath

Ubiquitous is the struggle
Antiquities impressions preside
Reptilian hardwired features
Dominance – an extreme will to survive

Anxiety, fear, and anger
Emotions hard to please
Audacious insatiable appetites
Malignant cancerous disease

The struggle - the fight
A metaphorical...

Darkness
Fills the cocoon
Forming transformation
Designing a sleeping-beauty
Rebirth.
Uncloaking nature's mastery
From crawly wooly worm
Glides butterfly
Brilliance.

Macabiloquent Mastery
As I ascend the podium, a predator of piquant pontifications, my eyes ravage the assemblage of adversaries, their countenances a canvas of consternation and morbid fascination. The atmosphere is heavy with the miasma of malignant expectations, a noxious necromancy that I shall shortly vivify with...

It's a game, that in order to play it well,
    Requires strength, and precision with touch.
Where no one would claim to be born with it,
    But it's acquired by long hours and such.

While it's mentored and played mostly socially,

Sonnet 59 'I Loved Her, and O, How I Meant Not To'
I loved her, and O!  How I meant not to!
To be my dead wife's husband, and a friend
Respectful of her sister, humble, too,
And now, respect and friendship're at an end.
I thought that I could keep my feelings out
Of any interaction that we had,
I thought...

Villanelle 5 'Death Goes A-Begging, Once We Pluck His Sting'
Death goes a-begging, once we pluck his sting!
(Christ did it first, but we must do’t again!)
In Imitation of Christ, laugh and sing!

Though Christ has shot the arrow through the ring,
Still we must live out parables, now and then,
Death goes a-begging, once we pluck his sting!

Though...

Simon Hardy.

Resilience is his hidden name...
STRENGTH in his softness,
Never misses a chance to speak a kind word,
Even though he is most often in terrible pain.
He has found a kind of fairness in his serenity.
Most of us never get there --
We just can't get our...

Premium Member Messy Chaotic Me
Messy house
Messy floor
Messy porch
Messy door

Messy mania
Alive and well
Chaos is where
I like to dwell

Chaos is my usual norm
Without chaos, I am forlorn
Messy is what makes me think
Messy makes me feel pink

Messy chaos
Messy me
This is how 
I like to be....
