Who can find an excellent woman?
She is worth far more than rubies.
~Proverbs 30:10
I am on the near edge of seventy decades of living,
and as a wise man once said what others think of me
is none of my business and I no longer
care to know, I have learned to simply be.
I am not a delicate equation anymore,
waiting for someone to create a solution
equaling his expectations at the expense
of mine, my value is worth many rubies.
I desire to continue in singular contentment
with my close family nearby to keep tabs on me~
Google AI recognizes that even though
I am not well known I exist.
What is beauty to me
Beauty is the walk of a woman in heels
The swing and sway of her hips
The subtle uncertainty of her steps
The vulnerability in her eyes
As she feels all the staring eyes
Devouring her beauty
There is nothing more charming
Than the little girl look in her eyes
As she enjoys the attention
But at the same time is uncomfortable
In the role of a seductress
What is beauty to me?
The sweet woman smell as she passes by
Nothing in the whole wide world
Either natural or manufactured
Can even come close to equaling
This ravishing potion that says love
In no uncertain terms, the message comes through
Loud and clear without a word being spoken
As males of the species
We are uncontrollably under her spell
What is beauty to me...
WOMAN!!!

Red grows politically angry
about wealthy society's conspiracy
to keep my ego away
from health's abundant wealth.
Blue spreads out
economically fearful of anger's power,
my own loss of leftbrain control,
most times less,
sometimes more
than terrifying competitive victory,
unhealthy monopolization
of light and power,
wealth accumulated
by neglecting
postponing
preempting HaveNot wishes,
accelerating Earth abusive investments
of a powerful
and punishing
highly narcissistic
inhumane
pissed off
judgmentally quivering society,
blatantly unsustainable.
Green ecological relationships
remain hopeful
the conjunction of two polarizing
paralyzing negatives,
anger and fear,
like two negatives
equaling a positive,
will produce healthier wealth,
Not more political envy
and economic greed;
but heavenly peace
through nonviolent EarthJustice.

None speaks louder then the Lord
Cast not your fears upon man
For he is the ruler of this world
I cannot put myself above him
I cannot rule this world
I cannot and do not have his power
Thus, He is the ruler of our world
Thus, He is the savor of this world
Thus, He is our God
A thesis, ascertained through abrasions of
decubitus ulcerations of existences austerity.
The colluded effect of unbeknownst
certainty.
Preluding the path of non precluding.
Additioned to the implausibility of unintended
effect.
Multiplied by the multiplicity of ignorant
ignorance.
Divided by the hidden figures of plausible
deniability.
Equaling the copiousness of insurrection
and egalitarianism.
Daedalus And Icarus
E'er thee an apparatus means to fly,
Ye equaling a part of chambered lofts,
Bestow upon thee that preoccupy,
Serendipitous thou challenges softs.
Ye, Crete's labyrinth denotes completion,
I shalt ere thee pleasure my dream to be,
Near its end, I urged sage words to my son,
Abandon naught for the gods watch o'er thee.
Ne'er neareth sea lest moisture heft thee down,
Go naught neareth Sun whilst thee is in flight,
Ere the wax in thy wings melt and ye drown,
Heed naught, heat melted, he sank in the bight.
Daedalus wept the loss of Icarus,
Goddess Nemesis said due to hubris.

Howmanysyllables;
14 lines x 10 syllables per = 140 syllables total
Either Top To Bottom or Side to Side
When his mind had become hemispheric
He then could write great rhyme or lyric
Of things in his mind that had become
Works equaling to total of each sum.
Put a poem together and then combine
After having read all of it line by line
Quick conclusion will eventually come to
More of me in poems must apply and do.
So if DO is a Ray and ME seems to know
FA forgot SO Lately Tea does cost Doe
In scale top to bottom or side to side
Effort to write poems should not be denied.
Which is really why DO does appear twice
That is sort of to through in some spice
When your music may start getting grim
Possibly your hair you DO need to trim.
Now that each doldrum did come into sight
More lyrics like to write morning and night
What is in my mind more, less or at last least
Will cause all my poems to have increased.

She Is
She is...my hope for...my everything that I adore...my live for my die for my laugh with my cry for...my want more...my look for...my could be better half...my must have...my algebraic...math equation..equaling the solution to my love starvation...
my think about...my shout it out...my help cry out...my hand in hand walking mean..man...she is my Queen...
She is my learned love mentor my hopeful meant for
(can i walk with you...talk with you...lay with you...stay with you...grow old
and gray with you...laugh with you...cry with you...die with you smile with you...
oh so special you...look up to the sky with you I mean oh my I just want to try....forever I wanna be your guy...).....my kid creator....no one greater...it's her.. she is..my there she is...but where is she? who is she? I mean...
who could she be...? I realized that I may never know her...cause I thought
I met her many times before...feeling secure...in my heart...cause of the love they gave I was so sure our love was pure...so sure...that my love was finally found...
but instead..a whole in my love boat nothing left to do but drown...

"I wish many men saw life the same that I see, because when I buy shoes for my baby girl she doesn't realize that I really buy them for me, we portray each other's appearance and feelings in another....that's why I spoil you like my true lover, this is the key to having a successful relationship, all you really have to do is pay attention, you learn then you earn if you don't you'll crash and burn, you have to know each other's strengths and weaknesses...even if you have to take it slow, while most these days are quick to showcase fake and unreal relationship goals, the only way you will be able to keep her....is to make sure her reflection is equaling up to the way that you treat her, just realize with everything I say, wear, think, or do....I will always be a reflection of you!"
The true story of the American west
Is one of killing field slaughters and
waste
The bison killers worked day and night
They were all busier than a kennel full
of dogs in heat
The bison had never seen anything
equaling this
And therefore knew nothing of how to
resist
Their bodies piled up on prairies by the
millions
While human beings continued their
killings
Humans had no thought about an animal's
soul
Mention of such would have laughed them
into a slop bowl
This all points out a basic flaw in the nature
of man
The evidence was there since man's time on
earth began
Animals to Man are just mechanized bodies
of meat and fur
Causing no lapse of conscience for killings
humans incur
But human beings think to improve Mother
Nature's rules
What they forget is this mother suffers no fools
When Man becomes comfortable in his unnatural
habitat
Then mother will send earthquakes and floods to
level Man flat
What beauty is to me
It's the walk of a young woman in heels
The swing and sway of her hips
The uncertainty of her steps
The vulnerability in her eyes
As she feels all the staring eyes
Devouring her beauty
There is nothing more charming
Than the little girl look in her eyes
As she enjoys the attention
But at the same time is uncomfortable
In the role of a seductress
What beauty is to me?
The sweet woman smell as she approaches
Nothing in the whole world
Either natural or manufactured
Can even come close to equaling
This overwhelming potion that says love
In no uncertain terms, the message comes at you
Loud and clear without a word being spoken
As males of the species
We are uncontrollable under her spell
What beauty to me?
Woman!
