Did the Yankees win?
Without sin
Challenging monarchy rule
Characterizing King as a fool
Escaping angry courts
Exploring adventurous ports
They came to a new world
Searching for patriotic pearls
Combatting rag tag war
Against red coated boars
Who thought they knew best
Putting rebellious subjects under arrest
Charging them for throwing tea
Into the Boston Harbor Sea
Defined as freedom of speech
Protest reached
Many others
American brothers
Wanting representation when taxed
Stating facts
Until the royals surrendered
Historians remember
What motivates you, O noble man,
To seek your fortune among the damned
Earth’s glories, the seat of utmost desire,
Seeking riches in the muck and mire.
Find riches pursuing happiness, I say,
Peace and calm the soul will inspire
Fortune not by commodities measure,
Contentment brings a greater pleasure.
Characterizing the eulogy of life well-lived,
'Tis over, what remains but treasure
Garnered in years of amassing wealth,
Passing it on, an ill-gotten, unearned pelf.
Better, I say spending time, with stealth,
Pursuing the virtues of excellent health.

Didn't you not go to me?
How did I seethe, because an elongation of an entanglement is the alter-alto as the Omega cake..?
So swimmingly
I'm finishing the date,
I'm even allowed to procreate,
say that today as we all wander in the phase,
the glistening light is a connector of the ways...
48 equations away...
One more long lasting stay,
I am trapping the animals and characterizing,
you upped the anti with troubling enrapturing!
You even trampled the past in THE!!!
Sometimes I sweat over the gloat and the capturing,
sometimes I'm the boat that is rafting the very temperament I haven't opportunely been the camp in the.
Childhood lullaby rings in his mind when he was a baby
Many years had passed by, but he cannot forget the song
Saying as a warning, sleep baby, sleep now or the cuco
Will come to eat you.
Ancient cradle song used for Puerto Ricans to sleep babies
For many generations that believed the evil monster will
Take them far from their families. Part of the folklore
Characterizing one of the most legendary creatures of
Hispanoamerican cultures.

I love your dramatic days
your arms around my waist
Ballad upon my legs
Succulent vapor breath now breath
with me
Turn schemes with me
Dry CPR ambulance light scene with me
Dream with me
Spirit seemed to be
Intertwine together deep connected seas to be
back to deep dive diving keep to me
embrace with me lyrical pat down ecstasy
Is to be speak things suppose to be
Loving me
Characterizing bed breaks submissively
It will be a journey galaxy
Stars gaze my eyes look at me
Stare to be like one whole bodies comically
make love to me just a reminder of what love to be
no static see smooth sailing romancing dancing without wolves will be
destiny
dig deeper you will find your legacy
INSTINCT
no fantasy fool
of influence
no brooking
interpretations
vinebranched veins
intuition causing
winecultured
realizations
no airy formless
misconception
no seeing through
the looking glass
only sunbeams of
scorchedmarks
commanding
sky vista’s prompt
abbreviation
words defining mottled lining
prose describing
characterizing
instincts of
obscurity

What the Heavenly Angels Above Speak Of
Mankind’s love, passion, and truth on this Earth
Are what the heavenly angels above speak of
As part of our continuing mortal experience.
No power on this Earth can ever diminish our
Love nor tear asunder the aura of this uniqueness.
Our heavenly dreams and ongoing desire for
Cosmic Awareness are ingrained into our souls
And our very DNA—forming that rare divine
Wanderlust characterizing humanity’s efforts
To synchronize its spirituality with God Himself.
This gives us all cause to reflect on and think of
The higher path that brings our hearts and souls
Together as one as we seek our cosmic destiny,
As part of the Almighty’s plan for us in Heaven.
This is what the heavenly angels above speak of.
