Best Tb Poems
when true love rains,
rose moon reigns~heart
thrums strains in stars
ice pick digs deep
breath spews thick mist
foot hold must stick
peak steep cold slope
stay calm keep hold
success not cheap

Wife's smile BESTOWS
grace... he KNOWS that
new ROSE would come.

a NOON divine!

the babbling brook
so cold took breath
dropped book in shock
fish nibbling toes
away goes stress
I doze on bank

I am living steady
I am moving steady
In unsteady times
Keeping my balance and smiles
Though the world is unsteady
Keep moving and ready
To meet God in His kingdom
And live forever in freedom
Glorify God in good and bad times
So that you can overcome at all times
Cause the devil goes around
Stalking victims to run aground
Jesus the rock is ever steady
He is ever ready
To save those that trust in Him from troubles
As the devil strikes His grace is doubled
Crystal rose shines
amidst wine fog~
nine star-seeds traced.
Kintsugi — means “join with gold” — is the Japanese art of repairing broken objects, often ceramic pottery or glass. Traditionally, gold lacquer is used to piece shards together again, creating a more beautiful object through the acts of breaking and repair.

my shattered heart
fractal art sewed~
smart Kintsugi
Slow blowing breeze
'Mid the trees where
Birds cease to move;
I feel bone chill
In the stillness
That's killing me;
Come, walk with me
Near the sea side
And free my mind.

In rainbow sky
Flushed dreams fly high
Nests lie empty.

Just watch him mince
His 'blue rinse' shocks
Day prince ... night queen!

Write than-bauk day
Mind can't stray, starts
To fray, screams no!
Needs to go rest
Let flow tension
Retention leave
Do not cleave please
Like bees' stinger

granny left will!

Bp is up
Tb is breaking
Asthma closes up ?
Ebola is exterminating
HIV is viral
Cancer is cutting
Diabete is destroying
Corona is crushing
Malaria is messing.
People are crying
Hurting
Dying daily
Here and there.
