Every Ounce a Man
EVERY OUNCE A MAN

Well, never climbed a mountain
but you can count on me to catch you
when you fall, after all, drank from the fountain,
so, thanks to you I am
every ounce a man.

Made love at midnight, fell in love by two,
in the middle of that sickness
thought...

Premium Member What I'D Like To Give You Is An Ounce of My Perfume
fragrance of yesteryears distilled from heartache and joy

mixture of entropy and cohesion scented in hopeful aroma

	sweat from wanderlust of adventure

	tears from emotional advancement

	blood of hard work’s injuries over time

	fears contained and turned into vigour 

	petals ground into an effusion of love

a medley of rose-tinted lenses...

Premium Member Ounce of Prevention
Does wearing a mask make you ill?
Are you a social distancing hater?
Then imagine how you'd feel
Being put on a ventilator

Ounce Of Hate
Miracle Man
11/3/2024

It takes an ounce of hate to ruin a person,
left unchecked, most always, we see it worsen.

Many that hate wonder where it got its start,
until hearing God’s whisper, it’s from the heart.

Hate isn't natural, but is something taught,
It’s things a child sees...

Premium Member One Ounce of Water
One Ounce Of Water

One ounce of clean water
Lost in an endless ocean
The last of a million million gallons
Where are the fish who swam there?
Where are the plants that grew there?
Where is the blue waves?
What happened to them all?
Man emerged from and ancient slime
Grew to be...

Salvation by the Ounce
David J Walker 

Gold must be the stuff
Of which  the Cup of Christ 
is made of

Its value supererogatory  
Its bearings veiled
It's content cryptic and obscure

Unknown to hunger 
The clean men
In white shirts 
are the anointed guides 
Meditating and navigating
By starlight

While...

Premium Member An Ounce Of Sweet
Cinnamon dreams aren’t spun with sugar;
Far too spicy for an ounce of sweet,
they are swirled with a magical purr;

Hearing buttery speech you’ll infer 
it’s much more than a sumptuous treat;
Cinnamon dreams aren’t spun with sugar;

Not too much glut is what you prefer;
On this diet you’re...

Ounce of Prevention
The lady robot doesn’t take
Her birth controlling pill,
She knows it could be one mistake…
Untested drugs can kill.

She doesn’t want a deformed child,
With gears and wheels all out of place,
Or with three metal mouths that smiled
Upon its baby face....

Every Ounce of Forest
A glint of light
Slicing through every
Ounce of forest
What delicate
Hands of God
Light still
Pouring through
This bastion...

Premium Member An Ounce of Compassion
An ounce,

Of compassion in practice,

Rates more than a ton of love

In theory, in God's eyes!

The air stirs as it consumes all the space...
