means that someone or something is entirely charming, delightful, or wonderful down to their core. It emphasizes that the trait or sweetness is not just superficial, but a deep part of their nature.

scream in my ear
distract my soul
your bloodless heart bleeds
yet your mouth is the eyes which cry
I watch as your soul shatters before me
like glass, it crumbles to the ground
mixing with the soil
as your tongue dries, I wither away
my raw heart emphasizes with you
I could never imagine your pain,
the thoughts which keep you awake,
or the things you never share
but you still look me in the eye
and loathe my very existence
yet I stand before you
as the sign you must face,
I may be the last human to treat you as one.
This morning, love, the sky’s opaque
You are the spirit, you can see
Though spirit term seems rather vague
It emphasizes mystery
Relies on my imagination
A bit too much, as if implied
My faith in the divine ascension
But the first thing that comes to mind
Why it’s impossible to meet
Our Lord again, how could he be
Not recognized on crowded street
If he’d come down his folk to see
I guess that Jesus was repeated
In some of those who tried to care
And so the devil was defeated
In a fixed match for devil’s share
I don’t want to display a doubt
It always finds a way to show
Without flesh life makes no sound
In any kind of form we know
It’s all our fantasy and joy
Of the imagined world that is
Supposed to be a great deploy
To serve reality we miss.
And a routine, a habit not done
A self-care or a part has done
Emphasizes value of the moment
Also has a pleasant aftertaste
A process help notice a result
Embodiment to thank for oneself
A method to cultivate happiness
A journal to write indebtedness
Art for tool to thank for others
An expression to create family.
I see the beauty that you cannot see.
The perfection I notice embraces your flaws.
Emphasizes the character behind your eyes,
encased inside the four walls of your concrete castle.
I see the love you have for others,
passion you want to share.
I see your bravery and perseverance,
trauma planting daisy seeds.
I see the beauty that you cannot see.
Please, allow me to be your mirror.
Look at yourself like I would see you.
Hold yourself like I would hold you.
Love yourself like I would love you.

Slow down thy mental meter,
Slow and steady things happen,
Pour ye may pots of water,
Fruits ripen should time beckon.

Dhire dhire re mana, dhire sab kucha hoye,

This couplet emphasizes on the importance of patience in life. Learn from nature, it says. Nature is never in a hurry, and still does everything that needs be done. Any action fetches sure fruits when its time is ripe. One should not do things expecting fruits in a jiffy.
It can't be known in its totality,
It seems to metamorphose and shapeshift,
It emphasizes human brevity,
It ushers the new dawn and builds a rift.
All that it brings to us we seek answers,
We are surrounded by perplexities,
Complexities stand erect like towers,
Observances are mere formalities.
The mind is the target and the bull’s eye,
We all tread the path of vicissitudes,
We wrestle, pray, meditate and push high
Life’s depictions are only platitudes.
Its entirety is hidden far beneath,
We go on a search but meet a brick wall,
Our hands can’t reach for all that lie underneath,
We see clearer and learn from every fall.

It's All About Three Q's Poetry Contest,
Constance La France,
Life.
It's not about what you wear
Is about how you feel
What you feel inside
The components of a human being
Being yourself
Feel the texture
As it emphasizes the feelings
Feel the movement
As it modifies the human being
In you
It's not about what you represent
Is about how you present it
What the tongue can emphasize
The ingredients of a human being
Being you
Easter emphasizes the death and resurrection of Christ,
He’s risin;
…epic Easter, eternal Easter, energetic Easter,
He’s alive;
O' epic Easter earns exists easterly enters salvation for "all" eternally Hallelujah
Lo' the rising of the Son

2 years...8 months...and 8 days
I’ve been in the emotional intensive care unit
A patient of your infatuation
Because of the venomous parallel
We have been in together
You have been unable to distinguish
That this shake has been unhealthy for me
Because it has all been to your advantage
In my unconscious mind
I began to ponder...
What could you ever offer me?
Only a migraine headache
And a cubic zirconia diamond ring
That only emphasizes
Your self-loathing and pity
You are toxic to me
So please proceed....
And set me free...
“Writing [maketh] an exact Man,”
claims Francis Bacon.
Macaulay’s Minutes is our bible.
Derrida emphasizes
the Primacy of Writing.
Freedom to write is also guaranteed—
by our Indian Constitution!
So, our children at school do write a lot—
in the classroom,
as part of their homework,
as assignments;
write a lot of tests:
their test of spoken language, too,
is a written test!
Isn’t it hard work?
Yes, but that’s the price they must pay—
For the freedom NOT to think!
