Youthful Israeli embassy couple,
almost engaged,
gunshots fired in the May DC eve,
murdered sweethearts,
hate, it never pauses,
almost had hope,
shalom to the world. ~

a shoulder to cry on;
my arms open wide to receive an embrace...
COMPLETE ENGAGED SORROW
hands ever grasping for the tenderness
my heart beats in place,
COMPLETE ENGAGED SORROW
We whom are just flowing energy
Complete
those clear streaming tears you shed for me
sorrowful and so sweet
COMPLETE ENGAGED SORROW

Sparkling with Geminids, hints

In the good and bad times
It's a lack of friendship sometimes.
On a new year's birthday
it's one less friend
with a nice word to say.
A lot of talking on the net
all engaged to a web.
Friendship colour changed
as a chameleon with no face.
In the good and bad times
we look at many sides.
We open our heart
for the ones we trust,
we give a soul's part
to be treaten unjust.
In the good and bad times
we look for friendship signs,
but in the meanwhile,
we search among the lines
carefully, for the good friends
not to expect bad ends.

It's okay to speak life into love
But simultaneously do love Be love,
Work love, first be it Be about the Father's love
Let it flow from Him through you ALWAYS
Needs to be engaged

footed I went outside in
my front yard i walk

on the grass to a
tree I opened up my arms
and engaged a hug

The Hedgehog wedding was the talk of Dry Gulch Creek.
There were moles, badgers, chipmunks and mice that squeak.
Cheering commenced when the bride bent kissed the groom.
Then the couple took a giant leap of faith over a broom.
The bride was a hustler, the groom was a cook so great.
The provided their guests with veggies and rib eye steak.
Heinz 59 said the bride, nothing too good for our guests.
Wedding party agreed the food they served was the best.
You have got yourself a great man, the cousins told the bride.
The groom’s cousins were giving the bridesmaids fancy eye slides.
By end of the reception, three more couples were engaged.
I guess being married to male cooks is now all the rage.

I know I was only kidding myself
I am not that stupid and knew this day
was coming thick and fast
When my Lkkel Red Chubs Mcmonkey
would eventually say
Uncky Chris I am engaged to be married
And the only thing I can say with broken
but joyous heart
Is congratulations Lew
I only hope and pray you love Bianca
half as much as I do
Then you have my full blessing because
she isn't just special
She is simply irreplaceable in every
conceivable way imaginable

Real Not Fiction
A hole is a hole said the Mule
As he stuck his stump up a slapper
This saying was mirrored by another
Who told a story of his friends
And what recently happened
One long term friend has a gal
They’d been together 7 years
And planned to get married
Spending a lifetime together
Already lovers and more
You know how it goes
So to be happy in bliss
But a big problem arose
Another old school pal
Caused a fuss with the gal
Who was a guy before!
So now you’re a gal not a guy
How did that come about?
A trip to Thailand and cash
Lots of cash from her rich family
The school pal seeing the gal
Wasn’t aware of any of this
Just that he was in love
Happy and going to be married
To a gal who was once a guy
He was oblivious to this
Unlike the other ex-pupil
They gave the gal guy it
A week to tell her fiancé
All of the truth of they’d do it
I told the pal who knew them all
Make sure the guy who
Knew them all
Never killed the gal
Who was once a guy
Like the American one
What will happen
Within this week
Happiness or war?
A hole is a hole
Even if no kids
Reality not fiction
The Mule was right

Perfectly loud the carriage of silence,
Corrupted and engaged in violence,
Battles of humanity suffused,
Animals sounds and battle, confused
Displaced Africans disappear,
Marching in line holding spears
Battle fields in so solid form,
Temperance heated mad angry and warm

I was driving to work on Monday morn
when behind me I heard a honking horn
A guy's middle finger taunted with scorn,
and that's the moment my road rage was born.
Normally, I'd smile and give him a wave
like I hadn't seen the finger he gave,
but this dude continued to misbehave
and almost rammed me. It was a close shave!
Traffic was slow. There must've been a wreck.
We were barely moving along this trek,
as his face turned red, then so did his neck,
but I didn't cause it, so what the heck?
Then every lane came to a complete stop.
He screamed at me on the highway black top.
I opened my door to jab him a pop...
a Mr. Miyagi karate chop!
He lunged at me, with breath smelling of brew
so, I sidestepped boozy punches he threw.
Can't fight a drunk although I came close to
when he gestured again, yelling, "Screw you!!!"

In all ten
For my life of pen:
For the prize-fighter's fists
From the eyes summoning mists.
To our own eyes move straight,
When we can no longer wait
To rid them of slumber
And add to the outside world’s number.
Often gesturing our wish
To throw together some dish
And eating it off zoom,
The hell getting out of our room!
Sometimes, combating the itch
In public An Embarrassing :
And the pin-pricking worms
Picnicking in our rectums!
In creativity, The Wisely Engaged,
When inventive mind is not hedged
To every onlooker reminding
That on one it is binding
To display his being the rod
Moses had picked from God
Fingers can Mister A land in trouble
And Mister B supply a double.
