All in gloom the grays and black
Dark colors take up the slack
It is a bad day I say to myself
To justify the acts I put on the shelf
Distressing the stress the aim the goal
Ending the time the day has stole
Shades and curtains play amongst shadows
As I settle down in my warm burrows
Heavy like rocks on my eye's lid
Telling this bad day you've been outbid.
Let me spin a yarn, reality,
Failing the weight loss industry
No binge eating any more,
Comfort food had left the store,
NO COOKIES!, so hard,
Lettuce leaves by the yard,
Must stop pretending, I say,
Hobbit's second breakfasts, okay.
Time to accept, destress, funny,
Now home for raisin toast and tea,
Hot and sweet, fat like me,
Yes, failed weight loss totally!
We wish to access
heaven, so suppress
heart’s fear,
hoping God will bless
us, so onward press
right here,
choosing to confess,
that we may undress;
sins clear.
For God to draw near,
before us appear,
we stall
ego lacking cheer,
lend conscience our ear,
recall
how love’s touch does spear
our heart and so steer
all.
Back against a wall,
we are sure to fall
unless
we choose to stand tall
and into heart crawl,
destress
and enter free-fall
that we bliss mist squall
possess.
gonna take a little break
drive somewhere nice
spend a little time
not thinking about time
gonna buy a few hot dogs
order some beer battered onion rings
wash it down with a blue cream soda
while watching a pretty lady walk
gonna walk towards the water
enjoy the beauty of the view
listen to some old beach music
and destress buy simply letting myself go
Failing to comprehend the wickedness of mankind...
today with no solutions,
Deep breathing to destress myself
governing pollutions.
Bombarding my psyche
attacking my drive,
The greatest test in life
to purely stay alive.
Breathe slowly, Breathe slowly
now passing through the odd...
though the devil has his children
Still, I remain with God.
Listen to the sounds of the night.
Someone or something calls for me.
I know it loves me,
but I don't trust its voice.
Listen to the cries of the lies.
What can you hear?
I know its rather hypnotizing,
but why invite it my way?
Do you hear the noise of death?
Do you sense its plea?
I can't help you with this destress.
Nothing is clear in the end.
My monsters, the demons.
they hide under my bed,
or maybe it's just in my head.
Who knows if its real or just a dream?
It doesn't even matter anymore.
So love the silence a little longer,
cause the screams will haunt us more.

Oh! Compose a psalm of Love to our blessed Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ. How should we come to love him?
And we count the many ways? We can call upon the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ. He faithfully will harken unto
the special needs of his very own little children.
He is our Good Shepard and we are his faithful sheep.
Oh! Compose a psalm of Love to our beloved Lord
and redeemer. Jesus Christ. In whom we can freely
trust to be both our deliverer and our strength. In
our times of trouble and our times of destress.
Sing psalms and praise his greatness and his merciful
kindness. Throughout all of eternity.
Oh! Compose a psalm of Love to our precious savior
and our closet friend. Who faithfully promises to
remain closer than either a brother or a sister.
Jesus Christ is the bright and shining candlestick.
His flame shines hope and love even in times of darkness.
Love in Christ Jesus!

Look unto the sunrise
Reflections of sun
Captivated my emotions
Halo shined through my tears
wonders why’s?
How’s?
Glide smoothly in the
atmosphere,
Unsettling despair
Spiral to destress
Plead to the universe
Flutter my gloom
Ascend to radiant
Stroll through nature
New grasp on life
Doubts soar to hope
Wish turn to faith
Chains been broken
Burdens lifted
Unequal yoke
Dissipate away
No more limitations
On my life
Life seems promising
Halos glowing my smile
Faith kissed my spirit
Soul conquer Goliath
Prayers slay the impossible
Reflection of sunset
Released obstacles
Open my road
Road to brighter horizons
Hold on to your heartbeat
As this might bust a vain
When it comes down to it
We're all pretty much the same
Whether you are black or white
Either straight or gay
Like to stay up late at night
Or get up early in the day
We're all in this together
As we make our way
From damsels in destress
To heroes wearing capes
As you can see when we all bleed
Red's the color that we make
So why not hug it out in love
Instead of pushing away with hate
We all come with the same body
Different sizes, different shapes
Some are done quite naturally
While others are man made
You might live life freely
Or you might be a slave
It all depend on the habits
To which you have caved
But like I mentioned at the start
If your heart did not go bang
That you and I are bound to find
We're all in the same game
The only difference that makes any sense
Is that of woman and man
Otherwise in Gods eyes
We're all pretty much the same
Behold!
Don't feel contrite,
I've raised my nose in to the sky,
Jezebel in her birthday dress,
Is retaliating with a fright,
Infact Jehovah comes to destress,
Olive oil in Jesus palm,
Church anointed to repent,
Today I see fingers in ring,
Together with total defence,
Who knows what darkness think?
The creator has refilled our inkless pens,
Platform for new offspring,
Prince and Princess now our reference,
Soon in a new world,
Salvation obtained within a gradient,
And you're to be impelled,
For fear is surely expelled.
PLENIPOTENTIARY EVE
Shrinking violet ~rise~
Stay not in ultraviolet haze
Lovely ~lavender~ destress
Unfurl your coltish legs
Adopt Eve’s consanguineous power
Release your adamantine eyes
Prisoners of those timid lashes
Stimulate the dulcet of your fluted voice
Those chords of human praise
Train your horsepower spirit
For adventure of ~olympic flame~
Still…bend those humble knees
Those beauties that seek the lamb
A pure white carpet ride through lavender scent
That calms and steadies each tremulous event

Feeling tired
Your body stressed
Mind a tumbling
Dont know whats best
Look out the window
Another damp day
Put on some shoes
It is time to lay ..
Those tears at bay
Look up look up
Feel my touch
Thats what the rain
Is saying to you
Lift up your face
Let my touch heal
Destress your soul
Make you whole ..
Tears gone away
Your aches fade away
Your body feels limp
The stress is abating
A small smile appears
The rain is so cool
Don't want it to stop
You lick at your lips
Quenching your love ..
Tears of hope now
Those magic raindrops
Work for you
Making life lighter
Easier to cope
Smiling again
Dimples on show
Life is worth living
Full of hope ...
Tears of joy now
All thanks to those fine raindrops, healing from above.

Unmeasurable tended act,illegal
part of time,the less-beaut part of
life,stilless storms in every form.
They set the course,the beaute
rot they want,but above all seeth
thee in heart slayed shape......
