In what way will we understand this?
Dopamine candy, groping, stoking doses
Fully arousing in deepest clarity.
Circular selves,
Porous places in and out,
Echo and shout.
Interior spaces
Glowing, fading traces.
Some scary faces,
Some easy embraces.
Liquid, feedback lucid looping,
Temporal and psychic standing,
And stooping, regrouping.
Ordered by silent commanding.
But no one is demanding.
Observer and possessor,
Obsessor and transgressor,
Cybernetic controls,
Systems in parallel.
entangling pacing realms,
quantum ghosts in pell-mell.
Wonder is never childish enough
Until it is sufficiently old.
What lives and deaths
Must be breathed and passed?
In what way will we understand this?
Well heeled prove worth accumulating items
Excess possessions symbolise hierarchy
Available funds allow aristocrat to buy them
Unwittingly sitting in prison of patriarchy
Drawn lustily to slope of have it all quagmire
Lay claim on the latest, insatiable aspire
Managing menagerie of restless investment
Inhibits by dictating subsequent strategy
On hold, breath held in waiting for a best yet
Comparitively impressive, an odd flattery
Asset gain brings accolades, remote admire
Burgeon of wealth paled by pull of desire
11th December
- elevated? -
The little imp bawled lustily
as it lay in its perambulator
there by the water fountain
in a secluded garden
right in the middle of a concrete jungle,
disturbing my elevated thoughts
that churned and churned inside my mind
on how to kill those pesky flies
that infested my rundown abode.
It was no use for me
to kick any brilliant idea around,
so long as that pesky brat
disturbed the silence all around.
Why even the doves stopped cooing
and other birds stopped chirping,
whilst most decided that 'twas best
to search for a quieter place.
So I walked up to his comely nurse
sitting contentedly on a bench
and scratching my unshaven face
I quite politely asked
why the little cherub cry so much!
She looked me up and down
and down and up, no doubt
disgusted by what she discerned.
"Maybe he's seeing a devil,"
she replied, cooing at the cherub
that made its bright new pram
quiver with yelping wails.
"Or maybe he's thirsty,"
scathingly I replied.
Cherub my foot, I thought.
And sighing I slowly repaired
back to my solitary bench
and thought and thought on
how I could kill those parasites
that bothered me as much
as that little cherub in the pram.
Thirst Highly Elevated With Others
My thirst had become highly elevated;
Flow ceased and I no longer salivated;
Oh why not;
Thirst got caught;
Drank case of coke God for me created.
Will be preying for Charleston train
collision survirors.

It is the spirit of you that I enjoy
the pleasantness of that I look forward to seeing
I don't know the story of you
I do know the truth about mines
Talk to me,see how far we can go
A minute can mean , something if the choice is yours
Tomorrow's not ours to claim, this moment is all we have
There's an opportunity ,missing out on what life offers
.
Advantage is for everyone
Take a moment, reflect and think
the conclusion is yours in the end.
I can lift your spirits, lift your head , my job
I can elevate you, motivate you,
Stand ,trying in your corner
put your feet on my shoulders so you can reach
It's the spirit of you I enjoy
The sun shines and the birds fly
We're all alone just her and I
The love lifting us up so high
It feels like we're floating in the sky
Your love I could never deny
To be with you is all I want to do
Thick and thin we will go through
As we stand as one made by two
The love in our hearts forever grew
And that was the moment I knew
The rest of my life I will give to you
Your love makes every day feel brand new
While your beauty paints my view
Hoping it's known, for you, my love is true
So you'll never need to fear for a fond adieu
To your love, I will never say goodbye
For things that may go awry
So to you, I will never lie
Or for that matter make you cry
knowing when you're gone my heart will die

I don't ever want to say goodbye
For things that may go awry

Or for that matter make you cry

We took our grandson for the day
To visit in the city.
Compared to where he lives, it must seem
Noisy, fast and gritty.
He marveled at the bridges,
The tall buildings and the river,
But there was one department
Where I knew that we’d deliver -
For elevators currently
Rank high up on his list
Of things that seem to thrill him.
(Escalators coexist.)
He proudly pushed the buttons,
Counted floors as they zipped by
And in Daddy’s office building
There were 8 that he could try!
A Barnes & Noble stop was great
Not only for a book
But for the escalators
(Up and down) that we all took.
Suburban kids are used to
Lots of room in which to play
But a nana with an elevator
Garners some cachet.

Trump Became Elevated
While we waited and hesitated
Trump's energy level became elevated
And it always seemed soon there after
His head again had hit the rafter
Small brains were left disintegrated.
Jim Horn
Bringing out all the little tricks in her bag wanting to impress and edge up in
standing of her circle of influence
having left behind the squares of preponderance
She laughed aloud at herself before anyone
else could
Out of the box and tossed in air the garments
was flying everywhere big poofs of gauzy and fluttery finery no better satins could be
had for the scenery besides Who would not stop and stare when she's seen there in something looking close to underwear
Alas, my poor girl who's direction is askew if you only knew. Take off put on repeat all day you wish you had a better you
but nothing is going to change from the outside in so find some new fittings and
sayings you'll be ok
tis better to know what's in front behind and all around for it's not to the crowd in which to be proud
What seems elevated put not trust in
But in what seems humiliated
Learn trough elevated humiliation
Patience, long-suffering, consistence
Pray, pray to the God of time
Father of the result
What seems rejected inner but out
Applauds you not in other self
Many, most done Lower Park
High effective elevation grace
What seems elevated, rooted is
What seems elevated, deep goes
What seems elevated, hunger went
What seems elevated, humiliated was

Raise me higher 'til I'm inside Her,
To be exposed and proven a Liar
If ruled a Fool, so then build the Pyre
Record my words then set me on fire!
I stood on the steps
To look at a Girraffe
Enormous eyelashes
Soon caused me to laugh
She seemed some what offended
As She batted her eyes
She never had this affect
On any other guys
The oxygen must be thin
All of a sudden she could talk
She said if I kept laughing
She would turn around and walk
If any one was funny
She said it had to be me
A neck so short an scrawny
must make it really hard to see
She took her very long tongue
Started licking my ear
She said she'd never seen one
That was so small and so dear
I was a little surprised
As I took a short step back
I tripped and fell through the air
Then I landed with a wack
She could not help herself
It's her that had the last laugh
As for the butt bruised me
I seen a laughing Girraffe
She said so long shorty
I'm more into tall guys
She turned and away
As I yelled my goodbyes
Do they associate with Him that
Which cannot create anything
While they themselves are all created being
And they are unable to provide them help
Nor can they help themselves
And if you invite them to guidance
They won’t listen
So it doesn’t make any difference
Whether you invite them to guidance
Or keep up silence.
Ask for refuge to Allah
Whenever Satan’s temptation allures you
Surely Allah can hear and He knows too.
