Pain Breeds Beauty
Speak your melodies
and I'll dream of harmonies
that will someday be befitting of your artistry
Similarly
Voice your euphony
and I'll dream of poetry
that will someday be worthy
of your flattery,
and lure you into rhapsody -
pure ecstasy with each word
that breathes between the pages
from beneath those eyes
that never cease to critique,
and a breath that reeks of deceit
and

Turning the maxim familiarity breeds contempt on it's head
Turning the maxim familiarity breeds contempt on it's head...
not just in time for Valentine's Day
but the remaining days of our lives
as the world turns
on all our children
the young and restless
now grown to womanhood
After being married
for nearly three and a half score years,
(our eldest daughter,
will celebrate her twenty ninth birthday
December 22, 2025,
hence you dear reader do

Anger Breeds More Anger
Anger breeds more anger.
A red gyrating storm.
Every outlook in its path, loud howls
Destroyed. Or will deform.
The same with minds of calm.
Skies, more gleeful, hopeful
Matching. Seen then, in its true light
This world. A beautiful!

Shaggy Dog Limericks Ii
The Bichon Frise
The Bichon in chiffon looks so frou
That the crowd duly wowed has to coo
‘Til the dog starts to droop
And its owner to scoop
Some acutely embarrassing doo
The Border Collie
It was not Albert Einstein who dared
To think E = mc2
But rather a Border
Who brought cosmic order
One morning while out with

Breeds of Late Legends
BREEDS OF LATE LEGENDS
The soul of Bob Marley -
Tap it from the Caribbean reggae.
The ambition of Tupac Shakur -
Immortalize a generational legacy.
The mind of Malcom X -
A monument for all world's activists.
The dream of Martin Luther King -
Still holds the world's ear ransom.
The heroics of Nelson Mandela -

Laziness Breeds Gloominess
If laziness gets a fair chance
One can never at all advance
If health must be kept intact
Exercise must be the act
Prayer is the curing pill
Peace in mind it will fill
When a prayer is made
True bliss will pervade
If prayer is resorted to
The best God will do
When duty is pending
Upon you it is depending
First complete it soon
Make it

Joy Breeds Hope
Joy Breeds Hope
As my eyes look up to bright sunny skies
And I view soft shape shifting clouds float by
I feel hope instilled through my joyful eyes.
I take a deep breath, let out a long sigh.
Look at the trees how they've weathered the storms
They remain steadfast with beauty so fair
With outreaching limbs share shade in their

The Sleep of Reason Breeds Monsters
The demon spawns temptation in the minds of mortal men
Exposed is their dark desires, lifted from the pits of hell
Evil breeds in the fiery depths of Satan’s beastly lair
Seeds planted to grow in shadowed corners of a heart
Abysmal minds of the frail are openly inclined to accept
blasphemous words angrily spit from irreverent lips
His rancid breath

Faiths Lack Breeds Fear
Faith’s Lack, Breeds Fear
Written: by Miracle Man
4/5/2020
Gone are violins that usually play,
that can soothe a troubled soul throughout the day.
We are mired in a time that we can't see past,
and media coverage- leaves us downcast.
They paint a picture of innocent dying,
our future looks bleak and most horrifying.
As good hearted people reach out in support,
others parse

Desire Breeds Suffering
Craving is an arrow in the heart,
the poison of ignorance;
that spreads its toxins through desire, passion and illwill.
Bound with the bondage of craving,
our minds smitten with suffering
we are bound with the bondage of desire;
with no safety from this vicious cycle.
Beings going through the wandering-on,
headed for birth and death
While those who've abandoned craving,
free themselves and reach

Climate Wealth Breeds Health
Political parties celebrating social improvement
could also grow organic system learning
to engage non-violent climates of health
and to bridge Win/Lose assumptions
of predative evolutionary commitment to differences
as more resiliently powerful
than resonant Win/Win living
natural/spiritual Allies,
Spirited theological heart-souls
and LeftBrain resilient ecologists,
red blooded creolizing missionaries
with green blended climate wealth-is-health objectives.
Optimizing wealthy eco-climates
requires feeding and watering cooperative relationships
among harmonically singing

Life Force Breeds Inspiration
through the flame cover me
in sound dignity
for with what one is willing to achieve
valiantly
feel the breeze
nestled through the trees
shaped through your dreams
a piercing of the skin
new hearts to begin
again
live a beacon of light to a much hurting world in need of love
draw strength from the joy you experience day by day
lay hold of a secure
