You abused the rare title of confidant,
viewing vulnerability as nothing special.
Now I’m in control of the editing of want.
Armed to the teeth and ready to wrestle,
I’m recanting each display of affection.
My discipline has reached a new level.
Toxic dynamics now require intervention,
your frostbitten words have no meaning.
It’s time to rewrite the contract extension.
Never again will I get caught pleading
remember that, take your time rereading.
I love the glitter in your eyes
musings of a child
manners abandoned
because you're safe here
Sorry I didn't break a bigger piece
I thought at least
I'd see you again
God did decide
that you'd be free
So you came to me
Eyebrows raised
Marked with the stain of the misbehaved
I was imperfect
Impatient at your rights
but no matter
It's your time, not mine
Her force ends course
Your words and their worth
hold onto gravity
You've grabbed hold of me
Know that it matters
And it matters to me
Your choice
A shaken voice
now on repeat
I love the glitter in your eyes
Ravaged Flesh
Marred by the colors of death
Locked doors and sweat
Life hasn't been beautiful yet
but you jump and play
because all you had to say is,
"I'm scared to go home"
Sweet sweet baby
I forgive
I forgive your arrogance
Matched by your ignorance
Interrogated by malevolence
I took you condescension
Your hidden intentions
Your lying invention
Politeness deterred prevention
I’m glad there was no extension

AMBIVALENT
The swallowing of a morsel can't be justified
If the stomach still hurts.
Scorpion– the shining demon,
who doesn't stop until it’s quashed
applauds as it was filled with goosebumps.
A dog with two tails–yet barks,
and they say the future of the unknown
Is seen by Accompaniment of tears with personal growth.
Yet– the flame went down through us.
Come rain or shine,
A new Renaissance needs to be found
To a land proposed with happiness
In a wide dark bush filled with bitter leaf.
Yeh! the old Renaissance
The assumed room temperature was hugged.
some bellied up while a few fell on the wrong side of the grass.
Who knows!
If I will bite the dust before then!
Time flies like an arrow
No money– yet parties flowed like never before
No Food– yet waste bins overflowed with food remnants
Nothing to write home about
But bittersweetness is to be remembered
Peace be unto us that made it,
To that decade we never thought we could overcome
Surely another mountain shall stand against an egg,
Enthralling to see the new resolution.

One basic principal of the universe,
can be expressed with the following couplet verse;
"Every Action,
shall have an equal and opposing Reaction,"
but each equal and opposing reaction is also an action,
which will then cause an equal and opposing reaction to that action,
and so on and so forth and so on and so on,
back and forth endlessly acting and reacting.
All Actions and equal and opposing Reactions vary greatly,
acting and reacting with each other into perpetuity.
I placed this write in the math category,
because there wasn't a physics category
@ this soup of poetry.
Music is space between vibrations.
Dance is space between movements.
Beauty is space between arts.
Time is space between transformations.
Life is space between souls.
Stillness is space between thoughts.
Humanity is space between integrities.
Wisdom is space between trial and error.
Mistakes well learned
Ego is space between must-win and always-right.
No room for kindness or compassion
Freedom is space between choices.
Stop saying “I have no choice”
Uncertainty is space between transitions.
Broken crystal ball
Blame is space between irresponsibility.
Including self-blame
Unhappiness is space between entitlements.
World owes you nothing
Silence is space between turbulence.
Fiercely muted
Belief is space between dreams.
Cargo of fulfillment
You are completely my extension:
Most of the time trying to seek my attention;
From the depth of my soul you are my life:
All others are teasing me to become your wife;
You have already entered my heart like a violent storm:
So please,come and swipe me against the norm;
Your love sighs ..,echoes to me..
No matter how long is our physical distance:
I would just wish to come beside you..
And calm your heart's feelings by my assistance;
Let's retain faith in our love really strong:
And sorry for making you wait so long; !

For the distance,
whatever :
it travels,
so much on the speedy wings
of an eagle,
or in the solid hump of a
slow camel ...!
distance is indifferent
to extension...
There is no close and far !
My dream is that the grim reapers power be taken
That our quest of adding years to life and life to years be not forsaken
Its not a crime to delay the meeting with our maker
If the only losers are the undertaker
But a tragedy that life is oh so short
And a myth that precious years and health cannot be bought
Few on this mortal plain wish for life eternal
But years of gathered wisdom lost through death is near infernal
But the mind of man to move mountains has no bounds
And as for three score years and ten it has no grounds
So lets be like children and wish upon a star with all our might
But more than wish, lets rage against the dying of the light
And together pool our knowledge, skills and power
And make the near future hold our finest hour
Death and dying will then just be present truths that can be broken
Go on, express your doubts, but never once have truer words been spoken
Our dream that the grim reapers power be taken
Our quest of adding years to life and life to years be not forsaken
EXTENSION OF DISCORD FILLED EMOTIONS
I'm enlighten by the extension of my mind
Thinking about all the reasons why
I can't deny constant wasting of time
The people reaching up arms high
Why, Lord must I sway
Watch the world in discord
Help me see there is away
For me to rise above the shore
Of floating emotions
Help us all Lord

D'ya know what flips my flipper?
yup! you guessed, a bevy of beauties
hanging on to my body parts
uh, massaging my cheeks (oops, sorry)
uh, massaging my extension (oops, again)
look I'm trying... did I just hear you say
“yes, VERY trying”
just a normal male stud with
an overactive out-of-control masculine libido
we're all the same eh, and you thought
“no, this guy is more refined!!!”
ha! fooled ya... I'm just the same over-sexed
divine specimen of a male stud
that you've read about in that dime-store
novel you read while sitting on the throne
okay okay I see some wee ones present
what I meant to say,
“I'm just the same over-vexed
divine specimen who just needs a nudge”
(you know, like my hoo-ha, that is)
okay, my flipper is flopping again
hang on while I try to calm it down!
uh... my mind... have you seen it lately
it's around here somewhere!
oh my... what the hell am I trying to say!!!
oh, oh, they're here to take me back again!
Wealth travels beyond world's obscurity,
she meets riches powering her duty.
'Hey accompany me',she said to riches,
But riches in her duty tarries.
Now,riches has wrought variant beauty.

Go
Please stay
Press palms close
I am unmade
Later I will run
I think he won't leave me
I’m ensnared in our tango
Fire dances ‘til phoenix rises
I'm here for now, so take me slowly
This morning will come with or without you
I am an inherently selfish creature
So stay with me and press palms close ‘til I’m unmade
Make me want to run but ensnare me in our sheets
Morning rises and fire dances but I’m reborn in you
I don’t want to leave you to wake up alone but I’m going
Stay
If soul is part of Omni verse
Omni- verse is part of the soul
This is not a paradox
It might even be meaning of life, final goal
What is beyond soul?
And how much of the soul
Do we really control?
Is there way to project the entire soul?
Mathematical nirvana is part of my soul
Mathematical nirvana based on hand that writes universe’s law
It is part of universal soul
But where the finial extension of the soul
Would fall
And extension of beyond soul
What kind of math it would control
And if what this extension is to know world it would be to Omni-verse as a whole
As in additional power it would bloom
For genesis of cosmos it would be a womb
With what is written in this simple verse
With God one can converse
But how to start the process I do not know
This knowledge on me God did not bestow
But someone this will one day do
It might be me it might also be you
you sit here and cry on my shoulder
i comfort you the best way that i can
we understand now that we are older
we're more in tune with the Master Plan
i'll be the weight that holds you upright
i'll be laughter for you when life gets uptight
i will be there when you're about to take a fall
....and just remember love is the biggest extension of them all
you start to tell me about your troubles
i give advice the best way i know how
we know now when each problem in life doubles
God is always there not now but Right Now
i'll be the weight that holds you upright
i'll be laughter for you when life gets uptight
i will be there when you're about to take a fall
....and just remember love is the biggest extension of them all
