GARGANTUAN GOURDS

GRANTED, GARGANTUAN GOURDS 
GRACE GARGANTUAN EGOS.
THEY GRACIOUSLY AND GRADUALLY 
GRAVITATE, (THROUGH GRAVITY),
TO GIANT GROUND BASED GARAGES.
GUARANTEEING THAT GREAT BIG,
GIANT, GARGANTUAN GOURDS,
GETS GOOD GROUND ROOTS
GROWTH POTENTIAL...GRADUALLY!

Embarrassment Cleanup

Embarrassing, so embarrassing, what will I do? 
The things I've done my whole life through!
I'll reverse the hairdryer and vacuum them up.
I'll mix them with the dog food and feed it to the pup.  

What a mess, oh, what a mess, I reversed the flow.
Embarrassing things now float around like snow.  
I pray to the lord in heaven that nobody sees. 
It's like one big gargantuan, embarrassing sneeze.

Old grandpa, silly grandpa, have you lost your mind?
You're as crazy as a coot and a loon, combined.
This is no place for an ancient, befuddled gnome.  
We are going to have to put you into a home.

Behold the Beast

Behold the beast, wandering in astral night
From dark caverns he emerges by starlight
to quaff nectar from his ambrosia chalice.
A leering creature with evil eyes of malice.

What nefarious thoughts does he ponder
as muscles ripple in his aimless maunder?
Does his venomous tongue thirst for more?
A pungent stench sloughs from every pore.

Empty cup held in gnarled gargantuan hand,
this goliath bellowed orders in foul reprimand,
"Heed my warning or tonight one of you will die;
the one who allows my nectar flagon to run dry!"

With each guzzle, the more belligerent he grew,
a frightful scene in which a battle would ensue.
The massive titan stumbled out in moonlight,
with ripe grape libation, he was fueled for a fight.

What brutish slander he grunts without a pause.
Frothing at the mouth with fallacy as his cause.
Scorning those upon whom he wishes to feast.
Brutal is bigotry when malevolence is released.

OPTIMIZING 5G OPTIMISTICALLY

Governed by technological greatness
Gearing with gigabytes catering to all generations 
Groomed am I, 5G, to handle gargantuan task globally…
Girded for high-speed connectivity yon information gathering
Granting mankind growth and progress midst mobile ecosystem-glow. 

Grateful to God* for grace that advances giftedness, functionally grand
Guided with genuine responsibility and accountability-goodness
Gladly, greeting guys and gals along facts, realistically grasped
Gripped am I with gallant “Fourth Industrial Revolution” goal
Guarded around golden rule, sans greediness’ glitches.

*1Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

In The Blink of An Eye

what
swallowed 
me 
up whole
are
the
gargantuan owl eyes of 
the 
enchanted mirror
in
the
blink of an eye

Golden Godsend

Good-gesture greenthumb gatherers gleaned grain,
gargantuan granary,
grower's great goodwill greeting,
gazillion grade-schoolers, grownups,
gingham-garbed grandmother's,
grievous growling guts gone,
gain gastronomical goodies gardens,
grapes, granola, gourds, gosh!
generosity galore, golly, gobsmacked!
golden godsend

WORTHY GEM

Close up and behold gem of worth
Gargantuan with respect to value
Defying dirt from mother earth.

Through microscope midst vibrant light
Lens reveal precious treasure
Iridescent, glowing against dross’ blight.

Under microscope divine, held graciously magnified
There am I, faith-polished by the Creator’s hand
To fulfill His assigned role, as precious stone* beautified.


*1 Peter 2:5 - Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Bow To Me

A genie's lamp cannot compare,
To smoke awoken from my breath,
Slithered out in ancient swear,
Unshackled life from sudden death.

Hear me now in brazen bond,
Bow to me, before now still,
From truth ye once had to abscond,
In fevers, shaken by silent will.

From my hands,
Whose neurons lick,
The lightening to the mind.
Pineal guide to beguile,
Beneath the feet: the lands.

The tides, the sands, the echo chambers,
Stalactite caverns, incisors drip,
Chomping sedentary angers,
Stalagmite joys equip. 

Crickle, crackle,
Fire burn,
Electroluminosity, 
Cackle at the broken shackle,
Gargantuan pre-ponderosity.

Lexical endorphins breach,
The code of dialect,
Yet encrypt in empty preach,
These passwords left unchecked.

Anandamide is left to hide,
Before celebrities of bliss,
Confused by knowledge ever wide,
By eyes unknown, remiss.

Never mind,
My mind's unkind,
To those whose cerebellum lacks,
The able to unravel fable,
From facts I've meant for find.

Bow to me,
Not you, myself,
Dear reader if you chance,
Occipital, cortexical,
Step in languid dance.

A Symphony of Rebellion

We live within a lifeless metropolis,
Where corporations prance in the stream of time,
Their gaping mouths reciting shallow verse,
While Freedom’s statue weeps in lonely midnight.

Gargantuan flags ripple and unfurl,
Announcing a surge of ominous design,
A swelling tide of nefarious purpose,
That stains the air with ill intent’s malign.

Concrete streets echo with hollow footfalls,
As souls trudge through the mire of monotony,
Blind to the puppeteers pulling their strings,
Lost in the dance of mass conformity.

The world breathes a toxic atmosphere,
Where greed is worshipped as a deity,
And progress is measured in dollar signs,
While empathy fades into obscurity.

Yet amidst this wasteland, a flicker remains,
The spark of hope in eyes that dare to see,
The rebel voices, whispers in the night,
Yearning for change, for a future yet to be.

I weave my words into verses untamed,
An epic of truth, resistance defined,
For even in this dead world’s ‘s cold embrace,
The fire of rebellion forever shines.

singularity -

let go …

time bends here
I can’t promise you what is
without a realm …
the draw is gargantuan
and my will -
my synergy with your passion
is the light devoured
all that was … is …
could be …
scintillates the blackness as hope
oblivion’s mad mistress
our event horizon
a heart that throbs for coursing only
not for affection’s silly sins …
our gravity strangles
with the grasp of Heaven -
shreds our boundaries with intent …
there are no choices, ours
no options
not even abdication
the quantum pull asks nothing
yet answers everything
oh, if only
you, I … we
were such matter, dark
gone, the bounds of time -
beyond consequence
divine …
nebulous … celestial
and yet,
is that not …

love??

The Heart of a Sad Man

Exonerating eyes that yield
     Upon the eyes of cyclopes,
Bemoaning and rancorous enigmatic 
     As we think. 
Ponderously, I swim to nausea,
     Galloping to forever dream. 
I see life in gargantuan way, 
     Neither the illusion of the majestic
Enthralled and reverberating echo, 
     Of thy thunderous anger, I fear. 
For this is the summation 
     Of my grieve heart. 
In this way, I may die a loser, 
     A beaten man. 
With pity and devouring rage
     To that sun, to that arrogant feisty sun. 
For this, I'm a rotten down-trodden
     Sad, sad, sad man.

A Man In Ruins

a
man, 
broken,
he's saddled
with vices galore;
alcohol and gambling,
gargantuan monsters of ruin that do not sleep.
he's addicted to both; always falls back to the bottom rung ladder of sobriety

Self Serving Destructive Sociopath

a sociopath
selfserving and destructive
egotistical

God gargantuan
favorite of mine has been
at end say Amen

snow fell on shoulder
could cause him to be colder
when he was older

reminds me of them
handsome looking very trim
happy never grim

Blissful Surrender

In the fulcrum of his loving arms,
She lives in gargantuan affluence;
Warmly cradled in enveloping comfort
That took her unaware. She's never felt
This wealthy and whole before.
A divine, most blissful surrender.

What Keeps Me Going

My faith moves me 
As much as it moves 
Mountains 
Past obstacles, 
Past gargantuan roadblocks. 
Sometimes, 
I'm a stalled old jalopy
On a frenetically busy freeway,
Out of gas. 
It's a challenge 
To push ahead
When there's no one 
To fuel your engine
With the magic phrase...

"Don't give up."

Words of encouragement
Give me the impetus
To keep propelling forward,
No matter how punishing
The journey.
