Love can be materialistic

Love is not something that belongs only to a living soul.
It could be anything your soul is tied to.
Neither human nor god,
but something you chose above them both—
that is what love truly is.
You look at it and know you cannot live without it.
It is not a person, nor devotion.
That is love.

Premium MemberContrast This And That

Pause, consider, and think about this.
Some rich people invest and spend.
Some poor people wish and spend.
Short people reach up.
Tall people bend down.

Good habits beget good results.
Bad habits render bad results.
Bad beginnings often end well.
Bad endings force 'look-backs'.

You cannot withdraw something
that has not been deposited.
We usually reap what we have sown.
Sometimes, favor suspends the norm.

the Colourful picture

shadows draw across the canvas
with light oily strokes and dry wet soul 
the white pythons and black mambas
conspire as their tongues slither and roll 

down the canvas. 
like honey, it marinates the mellow white 
bruising it with time… yet as the honey lathers
and the white bathes, the paint stops with all its might

leaving behind the

Premium MemberA Historical Fashion Contrast


A lady who entered a fashion contest 
for most authentic historical costume 
was disqualified, the judges pointing out
to her disappointment that she lacked 
Lady Godiva’s most famous accessory –
a horse – and therefore was under dressed.

Freedom 's In

Freedom ‘s In Love

Four feet on the porch. Arrive.
Red: the passionate roses a simile for the flush of a face. Alive. 
Electrifying: each touch. empowering voltage generated in a glance.
Expression: whole self in soft adoration. a simplicity in the trance.
Destiny or Fate: the authors of internal tranquility and perfected symmetry.
Openness untold: a vision of faultless

The world of contrast

The Dragon roars, all equal under heaven.
While the Guisi is crippled and Houzi is repraimned.

Screwtape

Long forbidding fingers dig deep in,
Appearing black contrast on pale skin,
The puppeteer directs your gaze,
A brief view but the vision stays,
Ruinous renderings plague the brain,
His dark imprint now shall remain.

I saw a bee
I saw a bird
I saw a butterfly.
Each flew across the garden
Silent, harmless, good and clean
But far above a plane flew higher
Far from silent
Far from clean
Ruthless mankind’s smart intrusion
On God’s good and perfect scene.

Premium MemberThe Canvas of Constrast v2

Picasso's fractured forms, a jagged, broken line,
A world of angles where my vision can't align.
I yearn for harmony, a smooth, unbroken flow, 
But in your chaos, a hidden truth, I know.

Monet's light, a gentle caress, a soothing balm,
His brushstrokes whisper a calming, peaceful calm,
The water's surface is a shimmering, liquid dream,
Reflecting beauty, a world where

Prayers of the First Man

“Lord of Light, with no hostility
Forge me as a sword of your tranquillity 

To the kingdom of war, let me give a dove 
Where there is hatred, let me give love 
Where there is pain, let me offer forgiveness 
Where there is depression, joyfulness 
Where there is despair, let me bring hope and sight
