While Oboes Played Strings were StrummedWelo and Shewa
and the Opals of the Region
Darkwin Clouds damped the outdoor festivities leading
the onlookers to go indoors. There these to beautiful women
stood modeling there wears there beautiful bodies and jewelry.
She adored the unquietness of the marbling
it was crafted to gain such attention
it was a wonderfully brilliant
it's shine attracted those
who loved such

EVE'S NAKED PLEA -CLOTH IN KNOWLEDGED-She wore nothing but herself;
Her crown was flowing radiant black;
Electrifying was her mind sweet as roses;
And she hears with ears of velvet clovers;
And she sees with the eyes of a cat beams;
And she's naked her vessel skin hue;
Like a flowing water pouring down streams;
Graced in beauty of visaged view;
Carmel is her angles;
She sings amidst the...

MIGHTY DAVID PRAISED AND DANCED BEFORE GOD SAMUEL 614-16MIGHTY DAVID PRAISED AND DANCED BEFORE GOD (SAMUEL 6:14-16)
Mighty David praised and danced before God
David was a high stepper
A toe tapper
Man did He love God
Mighty David praised and danced before God
Mighty David praised and danced before God
And David danced before the Lord
And David danced before the Lord
Step, step O’ Hallelujah
Step, step O’ Hallelujah
Wearing His priestly...

My Treasure BoxI fill my little treasure box
With things that people say
Each one a precious tender note
To bring joy to my day
And when life turns from friend to foe
When days are long and drear
I pull each little keepsake out
To fill my heart with cheer
The words you say, the words you write
Leave echoes in my heart
The sweet...

YOU ARE MY COVERING-YOU ARE MY COVERING
Lord you are vast
Omnipotent have no end
You are before beginning
Alpha and Omega you are
Beyond beginning and end
And when I’m with you
You cover me through all of my travels you cover me
Through space time and energy you cover me
While I’m naked or cloth
You cover me
You cover
Father within and above me
You cover me
You...

Aint Bout NothingWagyner: the Greatest Bull of all time!
I herd him speak these words,
these clearest of defintions
this bull was meant to salvage
this Ranchers reputation
and to increase the valaue of his
production cycle."Broiler" for meat
birds, "layer" for egg-laying hens,
"cockerel" for young male chickens
"pullet" for young female chickens.
Dicile and less tempormental.
The Makle bulls played and
flirted with the female...

Stranger Things for Strangers
Play staged, they came,
mostly strangers to the stage,
as first time viewers,
to watch the play -
'Stranger Things: The First Shadow'.
Noisiest crowd I ever heard,
au naturale, to boot.
They ate popcorn, mumbled throughout,
if bored they left,
if frightened they screamed,
if spellbound they gasped,
if awestruck they sighed,
if saddened they moaned.
The live stage play
in Charing Cross Road...

SPARKLE-silence shines so brightly i'm blind;
closed mouth can't to be fed;
lose yet untied;
floating spirit flies;
more than angel;
more than a voice a singer;
more than a lover;
more than a cover;
the heart speaks aloud;
standing in inside related to the clouds;
i shine
i rose, i rise
i her light
from my father's eyes
more than angel;
more than a voice a singer;
more than a...

Saved From HellWhy don't you just quit this nonsense
It's time to give up this very fight
He hung from that cross early morning
Until the bitter chill of the night
Strangers came by to see Him
None offered Him one bit of help
Torn, tattered and beaten
His God came to greet Him
Caressed Him and saved His Son from hell

What's up Buttercup?What's up Buttercup?
Oh, a little bit up,
a little bit down.
A little bit square,
a little bit round.
Sometimes I'm good,
sometimes I'm bad.
Sometimes I'm happy,
sometimes I'm sad.
Thank you for asking,
I'm glad that you did.
I hope you are well,
and having a good gig?

Hubs Of HeavenCatalytic cascade of mirror gleam relish on sleep encrusted eyes,
such sylvan surreal therapy aligned to dulcet bird lilt,
garnish to the willow weave wayfarer of iridescent poetic inkling,
vernal vivid verse drought a derelict damnation for those who implore heaven’s intercession,
a world endowed with luxuriant canvas whose ample acme is bestrewn with hue etched serpentine...
