Why Not Just Before That

Seconds after shaking my head 
in benign amusement,
I got it,
our social class was a major determinant

Yesterday Isn'T Worth the Determinant of Today

Let lost love last not long and laugh loud pure
Lest, loneliness lane shall lie thy heart dying
If love isn't made to get burning in the blue 
Its authenticity will fade away easily when time comes
Love when real brings more defense than pretence 

Love breathes hope and joy into lives crying 
To make the bliss of opportunities shine bright 
Love drives away fear and empower courage so true 
Living a life others wish a dream freely  assured
Love changes all bums become chums 

Love permits lion live like a sheep amidst Goats
Love caress the prodigal; defines him to be generous 
Love gives the light to the weak in the night 
Love beautifies grace to cope with every possible fright 
Love let life live long logically loosing lust's lengthy line 

Love pays off happily without strength to cure 
Love lead aright to save lost time in trial 
Love heals the world like a valid vial 
Love is the key to open the hardened heart
Love is awesome when it's seen and embraced an art

Gist

Lurking in the murky mist
a glimmer lies peripheral.
Invisible to the blaze 
of stare-eyed gaze, 
uncertainty is determinant.

The gist is missed
until you look away, 
disengage, and let
the quagmire ooze 
belch its quintessence.

Determinant

From scratch or from scourge,
our will to survive is key,
it's all we have left

Praying Mantis In Dilemma

Praying mantis in their kingdom
conceives and lays precious eggs
telling the world of insects proudly;
“Here the pious ones come in plenty
in equal measure thinkers with them
we shall built a cathedral for one group
and universities for the  brain breakers
ours shall be double nation of angels
holy men and women so prayerful
living side by side with professors
they shall inhabit the new kingdom.”
But all is total dilemma of expectations
no egg hatches thinkers every season
only monks and hermits of praying mantis
whole population is a praying population
in prayer they mourn and scream silently
as their hope so dear, dire, determinant
becomes nothing from age to age
prayers, praise, prophecy, piety, prophecy
become slogan, motto and identity
as other insect kingdoms reason, toil; and
become wealthy,  powerful and restless
and the dilemma lives on with them
as they grow and prosper in humility
a life of ascetic hopes and patience
admired by few in aggressive worlds

The Cosmic Keys of Consciousness

Open I say the mechanical molecular mind
As we stare from the celestial spheres and wonder
The non-physical now that is left behind
A timeless tapestry with tenacious thunder

The Keys that unlock the spatiotemporal still
Unveiling momentous multitudes of matter
Emphatically experiencing the fastidious free will
Creating transitory thoughts within the cosmic clatter

The Keys synchronously slowly tactically turn
For we await the immaculate enigma engines
Infinite Love and wisdom is our youthful yearn
Microcosms of uncertainty in determinant dimensions

For the cradling creators of the cosmic keys
Watching and waiting in the bionomical breeze.

The Key to infinite Love
The Key to infinite Wisdom
The key to infinite Uncertainty

THREE KEYS - Poetry Contest

Learn From Nature

I see a mountain and I wonder,
I see a river and I wonder,
What permeates their instincts;
Is it some permutation 
Or some ever pertaining philosophy.
The consistency to flow,
The consistent grandeur,
The consistent magnanimous posture,
Instils in me a supreme passion,
A determinant instinct, to pursue,
And paint the world with such a beauty,
And fill it with the essence of purity,
The glory of truth and an inspirational glow.

Red Blood

Blood is red for vibrant, 
Beating and in time, 
Rhythmical with vitality, 
Resounding in spark and shine. 

Zestfulness depends on your blood,
Having it and living by its pump, 
With transports plasma around the body, 
To clot when cuts scare and could stump. 

The zeal we get from red blood cells,
Save from Anemia, Malaria and Sickle cell disease, 
And when too many white blood cells accumulate, 
Leukaemia damages our tissues, the sleaze. 

The heart is rightly denoted, 
As the centre from which emanates love, 
The essence of the person, 
The call that you shouldn’t be above. 

The colour red is spritely, 
Vibrates energy and drive, 
A dynamism which supersedes,
The dirge that sometimes thrives. 

When you see an icon, 
A symbol, logo or picture, 
That's covered in the colour red, 
Just remember its derivation structure. 

You could say that blood was made red, 
By god, coincidence or accident, 
But I think that red is the colour of blood, 
The true precedent and determinant.

Plain Talk--Not

I view it as unseemly to use high-sounding language to make an impression.
I perceive it to be ostentatious to  marshal words vainglorious in succession.

It is a determinant of consternation, if not constipation, to be so assaulted.
Obsessive practitioners of linguistic pomposity presume they are self-exalted.

Whom [note proper objective case usage] do they fathom they are deceiving?
Do they inaugurate imaginations veined by vanity that I am them believing?

I desire a day when poets dispossess themselves of verbiage of pretension
And with exemplary expediency abandon exotic words they need not mention.

Poets aspiring to perfection should endorse this humble verse unreservedly,
Or have their word-overworked works consigned to anonymity deservedly.

Maturity

Mind so broad and deep
Actions come before observations
Temperament always in check, to
Understand within and outside
Reactions displayed in calmness
Investment in self development
To produce consistent pleasant interactions.
Youthfulness never a determinant of its wage

Mr Washington

Mr. Washington I want to know
what would you have to say?
as you gaze upon this land
if you were still alive today
what would be your thoughts
on a nation that lost its way
would you stand and fight?
like on that long ago day?

Mr. Washington would you stand by us?
would you stand by the American Nationalist?
to stand against left wing hate?
rebuttal looney lefts accusation of terrorist?
Is this the country you wanted?
or have they destroyed your vision?
your Constitution no longer applies here
Mr. Washington what would be your decision?

Mr. Washington do you remember Thomas Jefferson?
"it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government"
now would you still take up arms?
fight the tyrants with pure determinant?
what do you think about uncapped capitalism?
how about a multi racial society rotten to the core?
is this what you mean by all men are created equal?
or are your words obfuscated and what for?

Worms of Hatred

O silent slimy worms of hatred!
Don’t make humanity shattered
Don’t crawl into the loving veins
And don’t make peace clattered

You have made the feels rotten
You have breaded a silly demon
Of violence and all sinful deeds
And sowed the distrusting seeds

You multiply at food of distrust
And chocked the reason by rust
You swallowed humanity soup
And created a fiery vanity loop

You have eaten up brotherhood
With your wide poisoned hood
Be enough with this silly action
We are heading for interaction
 
Interaction of loving commitment
With our thoughtful determinant
With the chain of faith and unity 
We take an oath of pure dignity

Apology

I'm sorry for the things I do,
I'm sorry that I do it to you,
I'm sorry for the way I act,
I'm sorry that I overreact.

The things I say,the things I do,
I hurt myself,but I hurt you too.
The misunderstandings,the fights,
The truth later comes to light.

I never mean to hurt you,
Or do you any harm,
I repeat my mistakes,
And break my own heart.

My questions,my queries,
May project some mistrust,
I'm sorry if I did too much,
But for me it's a must.

You may feel that I'm insecure,
Whenever I tell you something,
But remember that you're only mine,
And I will be protective towards anyone or anything.

You may get upset with my actions,
Or by the way that I behave,
But one day you will realise,
That for each other we were made.

We are different no doubt,
But characteristics are no determinant,
We will love each other forever,
And that I will promise it.

Please forgive me for my mistakes,
Im not perfect at all,in any way,
But I will do my best with you,
And be with you like paper sticks to glue........
