I'm going toward the frightful unknown
carrying the flaming torch of hope,
it's a challenge never taken before:
I've made a new promise often broken!
Where can a disheartened person find courage...
when, in this age, most portray the wrong image?
Many have reached their goal through ugly deceit,
but the honest one struggles to put up the fight!
I encourage you to go forward the frightful unknown
with the enthusiasm of a Marco Polo or Paul Revere:
grabbing the bull by the horns and austerely persevere
in a quest reminiscent of their ideals for the grit shown!
To have a conscience is a choice to do right,
to gather the big harvest without any merit
or sweat is mocking the hard-working people
who plow the field and put food on your table!
I'm dauntlessly going toward the frightful unknown...
proclaiming a humble glory to be revealed by enduring time,
not all wishing it would succeed and earn a king's crown;
any loss wouldn't be a defeat, any conquest would be divine!

TOUGH TIMES TELLS TOUGH TALES OF TOUGH MEN
"Wealth -
Until the first snowstorm.
Hero -
Until the first bullet".
Don't drool dauntlessly on days of applause.
Accolades are just sweet soft arrows
about to put you to one of your biggest test.
Tough times tells tough tales of tough men.

As softly greeting a morning sky,
Gone is the memory of the storm,
When all of nature was gone awry-
But summer's come, and it's warm!
Red rose red and butterfly yellow,
Dauntlessly lovely, raging wild.
Where did all the smoky skies go?
Wrathful fury gone sweet and mild!
A yellow blur flits to tangy bloom-
And then bluebirds begin to sing!
Mere memory now is that day of doom,
Green leaves in treetops wavering.
The aroma of rose lingers so strong,
Like dew clings to the morning grass,
After gathering the whole night long,
To kiss us any time we should pass.
And when the sun's been lost to moon,
And comes the despair that they die-
Bear in mind the hot, sun baked noon,
Of thorny rose and steely butterfly!

They come slowly
Daring to make a sound
Not knowing what they'll find
They pay a special mind
Winding wisps of whispers
Dashing all around
Unsure of what they've found
Materializing white as snow
Luminous and subtle
With long dresses flowing
and halos lightly glowing
Sweet and soft serenity
I find myself praying please don't go
As they softly tip-toe
Looking up at the stars
Gently placed in the sky
A sailing ship guided by the moon
Silently hoping it doesn't fade too soon
Daring dauntlessly to dream
With darkness closing in
Calm nostalgia, and what could have been
Holding my gaze a distant stare
They found their way around my soul
Whispering temptation in my ear
Knowing time is drawing near
Like finding fragile flowers
Along a distant shoreline
They are truly mine

Walked in my topsiders
Another path of lies and outsiders
Sashayed dauntlessly in a setting of acquaintance
Laugh, drink, and dance… Forget the stance
For every hour’s worth of deceit
This lie is my fuel to withstand my emotional defeat
A night pumped with intoxication
Denial is worth the suffocation.
Forced by circumstances
I’m living this life with little chances
I am expected to feed my responsibility
However, fazed by youth, dopamine and rationality
Occasions are not a lie
I lie for the occasion.
The heavy feeling is my hangover
Not from intoxication but from my treacherous nature
This fiction is more than YOLO and FOMO
It’s to cast brilliance from an incandescent shadow
My faith will bring me to places I’ve never been
Set up the engine, let the lies begin.

Long Live Queen Elizabeth II
Queen of England and realms of the Commonwealth,
she’s a symbol of grace and enduring strength.
God blessed Elizabeth with longevity,
intelligence, poise, and stately serenity.
Through major challenges of the 20th Century,
Her Majesty has been a beacon guiding her subjects dauntlessly.
Never in all her reign has she wavered,
ever with a stiff upper lip and using the gifts God gave her.
Regally well-dressed in her own unique style of attire,
Lilibet’s not only a wife and mother, but also an inspiring leader.
From her dazzling coronation to her Diamond Jubilee,
she remains the jewel in the crown – all hail to The Queen Bee!
Long live Britannia!
Vivat Regina Elizabetha!

Look at you! You are going places
You got that impulse of control in your eyes
You have a hunger that requires constant feeding
From a passion burning deep within your radical stimulus
You devour all the barriers that stand in your way
Rise above all the neutralizing slander of surrounding people
To be so chargeless and undisturbed by them
Your soul demands difference!
To sour with the eagles is your point of covergence
To dauntlessly grasp ahold of your dreams and take them into your possession
I stand envious of you Self, of your fire, of your heart
I admire your light from afar that illuminates my sky
Your growth is beautiful, like the blossom of a flower,
Brought forth from the rain and brilliance of the sun
To feel such compassion, such power, such indulgence
Would be next to heaven for one like myself
So carry on Self, carry on

so they seek the sorcerer;
so they seek the sorcerer's stone,
masked in malignant malice,
savoring in the sacrifice of singed souls,
preying on power with passion,
dauntlessly drowning deeply in delirium.
quoted questions and questionable quests
drive them with defiant desire and
pride and pandemonium push them parlously
to tantalize, taunt, and tease;
to tear down the tallest of the towers, and
to cause catastrophic chaos.
they foster future generations with failure and
kill kindness with a desolate kismet.
they lead as a luminary of loathing.
they ponder pathetic, pandering paradoxes.
no longer do they lead with lies.
they now rest in rebellious retribution.
