The Color of Space
The Color of Space

His spaceship alit on a foreign world
deep in the midst of the outer space
two moons gazing down devoid of all air
he kept his mask on and walked down the plank
opened the  door to retreat from the hull

He was there for a...

A Beautiful Woman
A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN 

Her face was a constellation of perfections 
She was ravishing; beautiful beyond condemnation. 
Her voice was like many water 
Yet, it's coo whenever she sputtered. 

Her gait was just so alluring 
No wonder men couldn't help but kept gazing. 
She trod on...

THE NIGHTINGALE LOST HER LAMP

Anita’s eyes were brown. 
She was the kindest of angels.
Her speech firm with authority 
but reassuring with a glass- like
sensitivity; she seemed to know all.
 
Prompt as a rooster's first crow,         
that's how...

Abc's For a Young Captain
Always seek to be guided by the North star  - Polaris
But never forget to look daily at the Southern Cross
Constantly be reminded that a greater power is also stirring your ship. 
Deny yourself the enchanting songs of temptations
Endure and listen to the whispering waves...

Reaching the Third Level
To reach nirvana
Poet paradise
You have to reach the third level

It's a journey to forever
It may take some their whole lifetime,
and others may never get there

It's a quantum leap
fraught with uncertainty
First it takes writing skill,
then an inexhaustible will
and finally, untapped creativity

The first level is easy
Most anyone...

Take Your Place Among the Lowly
Take your place among the lowly,
Walk the path that Jesus walked,
There has never been one like Him,
With authority He taught.

With compassion, cast out demons,
Heaven's truths revealed to all,
Many wonders worked He daily,
Won the hearts of great and small.

But, when He stood facing Pilate,
Few there were...

Premium Member Jesus Answered Them - John 10: 31-32
Jesus faced many attacks on earth
so often the Jewish leaders did attack
they made Him their number-one target
seeking to draw Him in that He's crack

Here the Jews were really angry
as they chose to attack with rocks
this is the son of God they hated
but they wanted Jesus...

Premium Member My Big Worded Aunt
She went into apocalyptic shock.
What is that?
I do not know, but it sounds catamorphic to me.
I smile at my aunt, who knows everything.
Always has, always will.
And that means?

It means a psycholometergist was called in.
Really? It sounds more like a medical condition to me.
Where did you...

"Oak" 

The guardians
stood around and 
shook their heads

great thoughts 
quivering 
from the ground, roots up, 

as if to walk 
confidently 
with great armies

yet hesitation 
was witnessed
in their waving gestures

perplexed 
and touching 
green crowns, 

there they stood 
solid, unmoving
hard headed 

in their stance, 
yet pliable, bending...

Darkness
Too much is on my mind and 
It's haunting me like a bad dream. 
Making it tough to sleep and,
When I'm wake when it's effecting me.
A form of fear that won't let go of me.

I wish I could run away,
But it catches up to me...

Cancelled
We’ve CANCELLED your job 
Immediately
but you have been renewed
to enter a field with a better aim
to CANCEL out your dated brain
to secure you with a daunting task
to invalidate your former mask
of a 9 to 5 mentality
and learn to speak with authority
This is your desk and...

What I Know
for all the watches I stood
right after my own childhood

I stood with authority 
and never seeking pity

as a Toastmaster
speeches went faster

I stood my post many times
and at times given some rhymes

no matter than or now
I do have the know how...

Christ Child
In eternity past, the Father asks the Son to go down.
Having equal Love for humans the "Yes" comes fast.
When Creation leads to time, the world waits for 4 BC
Marking the start of the end of Satan's long rule at last.

Did Satan laugh at the poor...

Premium Member Man's Responsibility
Mankind's place within society
to be the family's ultimate head
ruling and reigning with authority
this the scripture have clearly said

The woes of today's society
are seen when we look back
as man has relinquished responsibility
and refuses to keep on track

They've allowed women to take over
to sit in man's authoritative...
