Love is not a math problem to be solved
If you have the right formula; how long
The process, you will arrive in the end
Easy, exhausting maybe, but feel happy
Numbers is business, negotiate is easy
Both aspiration led to loving more worthy
Calculating risk is a sure win to safety
So as relationship is cautious to security
Never underestimate the power of sight
This is how analytics work to love forego
Being loving is worth risking as cautious
Believing what the future holds is a plus
A compass, a guide for a traveler's way
Grant that the Great Force will guide us
In our pursuit of love, life and happiness
This world is worth an adventure for good
To a heart that needing hands that hold
It takes two to tango when alone in a road
Where love is the inspiration to be strong
Life is worth living when two heart glued
In this challenging road only brave can trod.
Proofs!!!
I could never grasp proofs
they were too much for me
How could side-angle-side equal
prove that the hypotenuse squared
plus, the cosine of angle A equal
the square root of Pi?
How could (x+a)^n=?_(k=0)^n¦?(n¦k) x^k a^(n-k) ?
prove to be the same as
f(x)=a_0+?_(n=1)^8¦(a_n cos??npx/L?+b_n sin??npx/L? )
How could a squared plus b squared
equal the sine of angle abc if angle
cba was obtuse?
How could the right leg of an
isosceles triangle be equal
to the sum of two right angles?
If Jimmy had two ducks and I had
four turkeys, how do we get
three and one-half turduckens
between us?
Good thing I can count to ten, otherwise I
would really be lost!
God is a relational being.
He is more of a friend than a formula
Do not get trapped in the dynamics of
Trying to decipher the formula to get
The life you want from God
God is more of a friend than a formula
Having God as a friend is the
Most valuable aspect of your life
We speak and God speaks
We act and God the Father acts
We pray and God answers according to His Will
The God of Mercy is a Relational being
God is more of a friend than a formula
The Friendship of God is Grand, Majestic and full of Beauty

Humanity's produced all through the ages
A thin but steady stream of brilliant sages.
Good and Evil... the Meaning of Life...
The causes of all our confusion and strife...
Good guidance and advice come from their careful pondering
As we, their students, through our lives we're wandering.
Now at last a new sage shines so bright:
She knows EVERTHING -- and is ALWAYS right!
With her we now may achieve Total Reform:
Racial, Sexist, Ethnic, Cultural...
Religious, Economic, Political...
Ethical and Moral; personal and collective...
Without us being overly reflective!
To free our selves - and World! - of every awful vice,
We only need to follow Mom's encompassing advice.
Devote ourselves to faithfully follow her Grand Plan:
"Everybody, be NICE!"
romantic novel formula
explained in brevity
woman meets man
who hides his riches
they fall crazily in love
big misunderstanding
fight and miscommunication
the couple makes up
another romantic novel
Hugs and kisses way
The secret of happy life
Touch, bond and trust pay.
Physics is a house
If the formula is weak
You don't have spouse.
Greatest of all time,
Madonna’s kind of like math;
Bet on her all day;
Guarantee it is a win,
She IS the star formula;
Add up four decades;
The answer’s always the same,
every single time;
Her creative components,
finite theories simply dance;
You’re her or you’re not;
Numbers simply do not lie,
working hard stacks hits;
Pop queen always in her prime,
there truly is only one.
In formula one race
dramatically more than in life
1 hundredth of a second
is the time between a victory
or a failure...
In between a champagne shower.
or a cold water bath...!
Don't have any earth-shattering news
To pass along to my friends on the Soup
Same old nonsense just one day older
Trust me my mind's on overdrive
For an old duffer like me it's a big plus for sure
Most likely I'll go down in history
As a unique specimen of the human mind
No more advanced than the average joe
Guess it's all a crap shoot
No rhyme or reason just one of the lucky ones
If I could pass along the secret formula
Why would I keep it to myself
Doctor Strange hold your wand,
Fix your cape and make a stand,
Vampires flock like a band
to cast scourge upon the land.
"Nosmo cobis.....", bind them well,
Beat the beasts with your spell,
Blow the sound, ring the bell,
Send the demons back to hell.
"Holo erasma.....", make it fast,
For the spell does not last,
"Katerama.....", burn them all
Like dried leaves in the fall.

Doctor Strange Spells poetry contest (5th place)
Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori
Lines of beauty and layers of devotion.
Their very fast queries have come to demotion.
Words that cannot be limited in any way.
The evil has taken hold of my display.
While others were piercing, some were kind.
Most of them sounded like music to my mind.
Both fair and unfair concepts could be found.
However, the motion is now silent ground.
The primary goal of life is not only to survive.
But by doing so with enthusiasm and thrive.
Worry does not rid the future of its sadness.
Today is tiring, so look around for gladness.
The wealth of life is heightened by gratitude.
God's price is reflected in a thankful attitude.

No baby formula here or there.
No baby formula anywhere.
I guess the babies will have to go back to the breast.
But wait a second, the mommies are out of the nest.
The mommies are working to pay for the baby food.
The daddies are parenting, it puts them in a really bad mood.
Baby formula had better be forthcoming soon.
The parents of babies are ready to fly to the moon.
He’s itching,
he’s twitching,
he’s ready to shop.
The big rigs
are rolling;
they’re making a stop.
He’s tracking,
WhatsApping,
he’s all in the know.
He’s topped off,
he’s loaded,
he’s ready to go.
He scored him
some soy-based
down under the bridge.
The goat milk
awaits him
just over the ridge.
She’s calling,
she’s balling;
it’s almost all gone.
His eyelids
are heavy;
been at it since dawn.
He got to
the last stop
a minute too late.
The guy in
the Tesla
scooped up the last crate.
He cannot
go home yet;
he can’t bear to face her.
He’s trying
to score some;
he’s Formula Racer.

Echos of Cake's The Distance in my mind on this one...
Resurrection Day Blessings:
I
Two as One, Many into One
Wisdom speaks of Dreamer and Dreamed
When Dreamer “sleeps” it is then IT happens
Jesus speaks of His Love for the Redeemed
As God and He are One, He dreams that for His disciples
II
Coming out of dream, back on earthy ground
My Beloved and I are one, ofttimes
We have wills of our own, individual drives
That redshifts the starlight, sometimes
Space is warp and time is the woof
I dream of Beloved and I as THE fabric, spacetime!
III
The Gravity of the dream is from she and he, to Universality
Could we become a rock with mass, Einstein’s MASSive energy?
D E N S I T Y
To warp the fabric of spacetime toward a Black Hole
In the universe, while seeking THAT universality?
Tat Tvam Asi, says the Sanskrit of Hindu philosophy
One, dreamed as many by the Master-Dreamer
Who will awake first: the DOING or the Happening?
In the metaphor, I am exhausted witness, surrendered yet doing!
