A subtle shift in the shadows of sunset
exposes the splendid Moon as She rises.
Just as a cunning gambler hedges his bet
She shines Her best displaying Her surprises.
She slinks across the restless sky, a coquette,
limning traits of the goddess She comprises.
During Her reign over the darkening night
Her regal demeanor dispels the day's light.

Here I come in peace
And at your service
Sent to back you up
To fill a vacuum in your life
To supply your world
With the same kinds
And of similar features.
I am to care, love and be selfless
My heart literally comprises
Of precious minerals
And unique behavioural patterns
Priceless, delicate and rare
Yet, I am no exception
To my kinds of services
I welcome comforting treats
To grow, develop and flourish
To be loved, protected and cared for
I was designed to unite
And fix broken parts completely
My emotions, feelings, perception
And sense of entitlement
Weighs more of me
But that is just me
Help me live my life on yours

scream of awareness
like factor fifty lotion
a screen of cognizance
shields emotions in
rational thoughts
perceptions
illusions
mere grasps of appreciation
slice through an underworld
of dreams wishes misunderstanding
the past reeks through
misrepresents disallows
creates a narrative of survival
in the here and now
which harbours goalposts
dead ends aberrations diversions
if the road is wide enough
there is a place for turning around
at the cul de sac
listening to stepping stones
and trivia which overcome
the need to take and live life so seriously
we engage with life every day
die only once
fully aware or not
what the journey entails
if I can grasp a twiglet of truths
to keep shape or brake
in the full knowledge
that few things matter
passion and fire
can be rekindled
which only comprises
kindness and love

Santa paid you a visit
Asking your wish not licit
Wishes come true in surprises
Dream simple, present comes double
Dream more, gifts granted like bubble
Dreams in cloud nine, waft in grubble

Sometimes you must move backward
Sometimes you can move forward in the wrong direction
Sometimes you have to go back to the basics and
Sometimes when you forgive
You live and
Sometimes when you let go
You grow and show the power of simplicity
Back to the basics
In life, you must be realistic
Life comprises negative and positive
If you are sensitive to change
Arrange your thoughts
And remember that sometimes you must move backward
Sometimes you can move forward in the wrong direction
Sometimes you have to go back to the basics and
Sometimes when you forgive
You live and
Sometimes when you let go
You grow and show the power of simplicity

Joy is in living life, which like a buffet,
is filled with tasty morsels for us to try each day.
Yes, Joy is in trying every sweet delight
tempting to the senses: touch, taste, sound, smell and sight.
Joy, though it comprises the basic senses five,
amplifies a sixth sense on which humans thrive.
Joy, when experienced at its very best
touches us inside our soul; that’s when we are blessed.
Joy tasted by the soul we never can ignore
for memories store joy, which lives forevermore!
Joy, most importantly, isn’t just in living.
Sharing it is vital, for joy is in the giving!

There is a true light that lights
everyone that comes into the world.*
As a child, I felt and sensed it repeatedly.
I was driven to do THE RIGHT and not the wrong.
But that meant that I would often walk apart and alone.
This appears to be the first expression of Christ's flame.
Into my early teens the flame grew more intensely.
This second burning came in the form of 'A sense of CALLING'.
There was a knowing and a deep desire for God's plan for me.
The third flame comprises the JOURNEY leading to my destiny.
It's no secret that each flame feeds on the other's energy.
Therein is the reason we need the flames to reach destiny.
Righteous desire; A calling; The Journey

Team Lungs made there
In ring debut. Less impressive
to the Grapplers Union; the fans
seemed to love it. Borgo, Bounce,
Bootez, Shuffle, and Booty. Faced
G.U. who comprises of Big Giggy Sayso,
Fuss Strant, Mazzo Mendini, and
Epoxy Curfew.
All action, the referee loses control
and called the match to halt. Senior
referee Dank Seagrin did outside ref
Work from request of the side ring officials
request. Quick exchanges and high-flying
Moves gave way to a wrestling clinic by
Mendini, who out wrested Sayso, and Bootez
Who are World class wrestlers. At 12:43 a
Whip into the ropes produced a claw into a
Clothesline manuver. When Epoxy Curfew
Leaned to retrieve his proned opponent he
Was rolled to receive a nearfall. They tag off
Both men, at 14:14 Mendini strummed up Sayso
With a Who Words Boobytrap gaining victory by
Pinfall.

Yesterday encompasses your lifetime, from the day you were
born until this time, and it holds positive and negative experiences
and enfolds good and bad memories that become your own life’s stories
~~~ Quote by Poet ~~~
BRING BACK YESTERDAY
Yesterday is gone, a thing of the past.
Yesterday is so long ago, far and away.
Yet, it has lifetime memories that last,
stored in your mind, where they stay.
Yesterday comprises the experiences you had
like the adventures or risks, triumphs or trials,
fun, happiness or pain, sorrow, good or bad
people, uplifting you or pushing you in denial.
Yesterday encompasses your lifetime, makes you
look back on your life how you knew, discovered,
embraced yourself and how you believed in you.
Yesterday fills you with stories to share with others.

Knowing very well won't ask how are you;
Understand how much stressful to be lone;
Believe me, since you left all my joy flown;
Know you're sad, I'm also in hardship too.
Don't want to express what I'm going through
to return home, it's punishment for me;
There's limitation to lead life carefree.
Life soon became bored; just waiting for you.
Thinking of you memory fetches tears.
Yes, I'm responsible, you can't be blamed,
to mar our affairs 'twas built over years.
But, see after you left nothing I gained.
I don't fall in group favoured with their stars;
No face to call you, I'm so much ashamed.

Byron's sonnets are obviously influenced by the
Italian form rather than the English and possess an octave and a sestet.
The Octave comprises of a progression of three rhymes
a. b. b. a... a. c. c. a.
but it's the sestet that makes it unique, d. e. d...e. d. e.

Twist of Flesh
Turn of Soul
I pay them all with tokens of Gold
Skin different form within
To except my odd facade
Many turn an eye
Push me aside
Dimensions of flesh
Do not desire
My mind comprises
Twist of flesh
Turning old
Payes with cold
notes from my Pain
I want nothing to gain
But, respect from above
And a little love
Judgment for action
I fear your retraction
Pay no interest in me
See... twist of flesh
Turn to dust
I gave away my passion like gold
For you to look at me
And see my soul.

The country is changing is what they say,
But does the outlook of people actually count?
Still, that old stereotypical mindset is what they display,
Letting the entire mankind down.
One steps out, and there they are, umpteen scanning eyes,
Golden highlights, ripped jeans, short skirt is what catches their sight,
A new way discovered by the crowd to characterize,
Having no one around to tell that everything's alright.
Wardrobe malfunction is the next new crime,
Gawking them, making them feel victimized,
Informing them can also work sometimes,
But here in the changing country, it can never be recognised.
One ends up doing outdoor activities indoor,
Reason being all the unnecessary ogles,
Why not engage in some household chores?
Allowing others to relax their ankles.
As long as the country comprises the people,
The concept of changing country remains a big lie,
If at all it becomes illegal,
Maybe then the mass would give it a try.

Dilated time extends shuttle to projectile velocity
Accelerated approach shatters tachometer
Forcecul thrust spurs blob star pulp blur galaxies
Taken to religion's reason, infinity honourer
Surveying never discover wonder, God's audacity
Latent edges beckon an awakened explorer
Unbound compounds cast carbon vast possiblity
Timorous molecules amplify into emporium
Glimmer of pierced distance with quicker impulse
Emptying Earth certainty, pours fervid chaos
Ten-dimensional matrix comprises dots illustrious
Strings' swollen muster brings forth obvious
