She was just so darn spiritual, was not of this world
Like a whispered mist before you, she would un-furl
Rendering you into a such a non-conscionable state
“Till you were onto her level where you could relate
Captured yet strange not once held with any chains
Once in your thoughts your attention she entertains
Loosening emotions, that before were never notions
Releasing within you, so, heart rendering explosions
To a lesser man, she would be considered as brazen
But to her, within, she holds no such, discrimination
The freedom she gives leaves thoughts so unbridled
One becomes brave, and to her ego feels so entitled
As she believes a mind trapped should only be freed
No need to others to bow down no need to concede
When notions within you, those yet to be conceived
Ready now to be understood knowledge is achieved
One may die trying, but till then one has never lived
A real concept of life and what it’s like to be bridged
A so-called kill list exists in Ukraine,
With teenagers, American journalists, and more,
But what kind of list is this, and why?
Is it conscionable, or just a ploy?
The world is filled with weapons of destruction,
And violence-oriented movies, too,
So could these be the cause of this list,
And the reason why it's come to view?
The actors in these movies are anti-gun,
So why are these movies made?
Is it to desensitize us to violence,
Or is there something else at stake?
The journey ahead may bring us answers,
To the questions that we seek,
But until then, the so-called kill list,
Will remain a mystery to me.
At the heels of a blessed consequence, spurs unpredictable fervency that is extremely engrossing, it perplexes conscionable determinations, concerning exhausting heydays of a celebratory stretch, that radiates from an unfathomable receptacle, wherever, wrapped gifts stead itself in anticipatory sensation, to collect and concentrate, then it will undividedly precede, o'er a decisive menacing expectant eve, plus, simultaneously surrender joyously, amidst an agreeable, explosive, color-filled night sky finale.
calendrical charms
thoughtless and thoughtful gifts coaxed
colorful glowed eve
