Color-Filled Caroler Skipping Rope
A girl entrance per color-filled rhyme, hope
          that each beat will equal, her skipping rope

I never sensed that while blue kisses green
   be teal moths, spruces, and an ocean scene
      and when you change only the green to red

      purple plums, lilacs, sweet potatoes spread
   yet if green rebounds and expends the blue
yellow chicks, lemons, bunch bananas grew

          every color when crossed, yield a fresh hue
rainbow phases painting a world brand new.

Premium Member The Man of Many Hats

A subtle man of such flair-
Comes and goes as in thin air!
Always trimmed neat his hair.
Never certain what he'll wear.

He's been seen in many rooms;
Master of bold costumes!
Where he goes, fashion blooms;
As butterflies emerge from little tombs!

He, a master of disguise,
Suddenly cool and worldly wise,
Evokes from ladies admiring sighs;
His stature seems to touch the skies.

He, a marvel and a mystery,
Like mermaid legends of the sea;
Such a fine dramatist is he,
He can be anyone he wants to be.

He, the man of subtle grace;
Charmed are those who've seen his face.
Expends allure that time can't erase,
Then like smoke, gone without a trace!

Each expends their skills

upon the ungifted mass

who labor their praise.

Best Soulmate

Brings a lot of happiness in your life.

Encourages you in your every first step.

Stands behind you in every difficult situation.

Treats you like an angel of earth.

Super hero in your story forever.

Observes your mood for  every second.

Uncommon man who can only console you. 

Lover of your whole activities.

Masterful at handling the bad situations.

Admires you again and again without any reason.

Trusts you, whatever you say and going to do.

Expends a lot of time just for you...

The Balance Sheet

The endless cycle
Life expends 
Death accumulates

Premium Member Meine Gedanken Im Schlaf

Im tiefsten Unendlichkeit bin ich immerhin, da wo auch der Trommelstein steht! Er spricht mit 
mir dürch die Dunkelheit!

Wann die geschliffenen Eiströpfen sowie auch die Schneefloken fällen und das glanzende, 
himmlische Licht scheint auf die weiten Felder und die unzählingen Baüme.
Mit der Anstrengung des Alltags, zieht der Mensch seine Energie dürch das Einatmen der 
natürlichen Kräfte.

Das Gleichgewicht der Elemente entspringt aus dem Erdiennen, und erinert uns an das wahre 
Leben.

MY THOUGHTS IN SLEEP

In the deepest timelessness I am,
And by me stands the pulsing stone,
He speaks with me through darkness deep
Polished ice on the fallen snowflakes drop.

A glittering heavenly light over rolling fields
Innumerable trees illuminate.
As with inflexible problems of mundane life
Mankind expends his energy, 
While inhaling deep from nature’s breath.

The eternal balance of elemental life goes on,
 & From within the earth’s bowels deep, groans emanate,
to impart to me life’s verity.

No Pain.

Help me…

To stand ever resolute
Amongst perpetual ambiguity
That slowly expends me
When I am not vigilant
If I have firmly decided
To walk that razors edge
Where the vile assail me
Allow me the shield
Of His name
Where I will ever feel

No pain…

Life Is But a Season

As winter falls into its timely slumber
Life begins with the youth of spring
Seedlings burst from beneath the ground
Anxious to begin their yearly fling

Migrating friends find their mates
While tree tops fill with birds of song
Winter’s rage will melt away
Creating rivers vast and strong

Smoke rises from a nearby chimney
Old man Johnson is baking again
The smell of coffee and sweet crumb cakes
Expends amidst this wooded glen

I remember this peaceful valley
As if it were only a moment ago
All the beauty that flourished
Is now covered by winter’s snow

I am not saddened by springs departure
All that lives is meant to perish
Only to be reborn anew
For all to love and cherish

Just as flowers bloom and then wither
I too have grown weary and weak
I have fulfilled my destiny
And now it is rest that I bespeak

My time on this earth has been wondrous
Heaven is calling and now I must leave
I ask that you embrace the life that lived
Rejoice for me and do not grieve

For just as spring will come again
If you remember me, so will I
Within your heart I will  live forever
So it is never really goodbye
