I possess an unusual knack for making women bristleI possess an unusual knack for making women bristle
hence immediately this birdman
wishes to escape into his eyrie
or seriously considers joining a nunnery
mainly for the less common slang definition
cuz yes, “nunnery”
sometimes used ironically to refer to a brothel,
and this secondary meaning
may well have added
a bitter undercurrent
to Hamlet's proceedings.
Whether interacting with the...

BUILDING BLOCK-BUILDING BLOCK
Temporal they are higher power,
unveiled to me who are temporary obstacle
that's temporal derailing me for abating power
If this be meant to be compliance unequivocal
God has the triumphant power
Always to turn around man's power
For humanity strong tower
Will fall
When El Shaddai calls
Governmental bricks will fall

BREATH-Breath
He had a layer of skin
That's wide open
He was suffering as he walked
He was buffering
Carelessly as a stride sought
He'll put his heart up while suffering
Why has it inhaled an exhaled
Lung keeps the flow
Who would know
And he walked through the door
Through the passageway he saw His...

Driving Miss DaisyDriving Miss Daisy
A good deed.
Driving Miss Daisy.
Put yourself last.
Remain humble and give.
Better to give than receive.
Go out of your way.
No work in vain.
Lead as an example.
Passionate for others.
A friend to lean on.
A good listener.
Old ways to wisdom....

I want to sellCome on
Come on
At my newly opened store
Om shanti om .
Where I want to sell
Hill of nothings
That occupied almost all
Space of my beautiful mind.
Om shanti om
Tensions and anxieties
Hatred and partialities
All useless thoughts
That disturbs
My peace...

Tu Esencia
Aquel sinsonte que se posaba
en el balcon, apenas trina.
Al no escuchar tú voz sutil
cantando sin secar.
Y esos rosales que ayer regabas
con delirio, hoy se marchitan.
Pues ya de ti no queda ni la fragancia
de tu esencia en nuestro hogar....

Legacy From My Dad
Dad passed away before I became a man
A man whom he had found a wife
A wife to build life with to mature
Mature as she gives me cute kids
Kids I have to toil for day and night
Night when I think deep about life
Life generating thoughts for solutions
Solutions to life's current challenges
Challenges strengthening my heart
Heart residing...

RADIANT BLISS SWEET KISS-RADIANT BLISS SWEET KISS-
Every drop of rain
Reminds me of your heartbeats
Every beautiful petaled flower
and fragrance from it
Alluring I'm yearning for your scent
Those the beautiful cascading colors that Elohim shows I long for
My eyes to hold to embrace
I can't wait to place my face against your face
These are the hearts...

MY LOVE FOR YOU US LEFT-My Heart For You is Left
On my knees, facing east;
Praying to Our Father I speak;
Condolences and praises so sweet;
Everything is right;
He holds me tight ;
I ask myself as I stand east;
The sun so rises I stand on my feet;
In God I am strong I am complete;
I love the Lord, through Him I adore;
This breath I...

The Voice in YouListen to the voice in you
And it will tell you what to do
Shake the burden off your head
And meditate upon your bed
Listen carefully to the voice inside you
And it will guide you, it is the voice
That speaks the truth, it is the voice
That will redeem you from your
Battered youth, head strong
Weak heart, head strong and
Broken...

Self EsteemShe rises, she rises like the sun that knows no shame,
this woman-teacher-poet-mother-flame,
her soul vast as the sky that holds all storms
yet gentle as the dewdrop kissing the earth at dawn.
O Universe, behold your daughter who has learned
the sacred secret whispered by the wind,
that worth is not a treasure buried deep
but seed-song scattered wide like prayers...

A summer song is what inspired the flowers
When the music stopped they still bloomed
The flowers never needed a melody
And neither do you

To put a smile on somebody
To share a penny to a needy
Keeps your heart humbly
Makes less one hungry
And a blessing to everybody

Twenty Twenty VisionJacques Daviel
A brilliant eye specialist Jaques Daviel,
does his cataract field at all ring a bell?
the word cataract used with utmost respect,
on his vision and foresight I duly reflect

In the same branch was Francisus Donders,
in ocular tracts the man worked wonders,
some Dutch streets bare this specialist's name,
Tilburg his birth place blessed by his fame
