The act of giving charity
performed with regularity
guarantees prosperity
from the moment it is given
unto posterity
Time is a river or so it is said
forever flowing to the sea
it knows where it goes
and with no guarantee
either sink or swim
in our own special way
we all test the waters
each and every day
there are some who do need a push
and they may lose or win
yet I will always go out on a limb
hold my head up and jump right in
without any second thoughts
unafraid to get my feet wet
altho' I can count on being caught by the current
there's no such thing as a safe bet
Fueled by affection, once carved to a tree
Strong as a hard-working honey bee
Found selfless in you, a sworn guarantee
I hope this devotion answers her plea!
I hold you next to them, as we both sway
A never-ending nights finest fiery array
But our song is humming in defiant foray
Yet it's being felt in every way
Remembering you, I'll walk an abyss
The consumption I could never dismiss
Heard like drum beats; her true beauty is this
To the end of days, we will be able to reminisce
A singularity of grandest notion
Vast is this lovely swirling ocean
Wild; like the time of locomotion
Perfections elixir set into motion
Who becomes what there is no guarantee…
With this point of view who will not agree?
The son of a blatant thief…
Can become a police chief.
I wonder why only plums from its tree!
There is no guarantee
when it comes to the
heart...
though love released with
sincere eternity – our carriers,
though Homers of loyal wings
transverse a sky of hawks
There is no guarantee
when it comes to matters
of interpersonal love – only God knows
man's truest beats – for the mortal heart
is an aggressor
while also retreats
Love, indeed!~ is a campaign of sorts
armies of feelings going forth
entrenchment on both sides
love often hides
while never a victory without
two fond surrenders
always the object of analyses
universe is what the universe is
from quarks to atoms, planets to galaxies
plus divers cosmic abnormalities
everything caught up in heavenly flow
of where non-stop change forces it to go
no guarantees a passing asteroid
will not explode our world into the void
no guarantee seeds will grow in the soil
no guarantee the great oceans won't boil
no guarantee we will have air to breathe
no guarantee we will have lives to lead
no guarantee we'll have time to reckon
all may end in interstellar second
quiet and still
such a thrill
only wish i had someone to talk to
i tried my best to make it to be you
i realize now that i cannot make you by force
for you will deny me frigidly with no remorse
quiet and still
such a thrill
only wish i had someone to talk to
music is a very viable option if my wish does not come true
i will always respect your choice to pass
it is not in my honest personality to harass
quiet and still
such a thrill
only wish i had someone to talk to
it would be a great pleasure in those lovely times for your replies to come through
all in all you will always be my Friend
no matter how life stretches or chooses to bend
awaken conscience
guarantees respect for nature
freedom and everlasting peace
are obvious blooms
Food in the fridge, novels to read,
On Demand on the TV.
Bathroom’s supplied; all that we need
Is to be where we’re needing to be.
So much unknown so we must proceed
In hopes that we all can agree
That obeying the rules may this virus impede
But, of course, there is no guarantee.
Spread me with
words spoken
Tease me with
simple desire
Share with me a
special token
Let's build our
own empire
Let's take our time
to see enternity
Life's so short, days
can be so few
I know you got it
bad for me
Like you know I do
For you
Hold my hand let's
walk along
sandy beaches
at sunset
Sing me your
favorite song
Enjoy the half
Moons silhouette
Let's watch the beauty
life has to offer
When there is just
you and me
All the good we two
can foster
Let's make this
guarantee
Like dew upon a rose you sate,
a love only God can create.
Now time has passed and we do see
our passion’s always been innate.
As we drown in true loyalty,
devotion is our renown fate.
In affection you saturate-
our vows bona fide guarantee.

" For: Swear It Was The Moon Comedy Stage Play"
SCENE- Preparing- to 'Court'
Set Scene- Cell, Main character wearing one thong pacing slowly with hand
on heart periodically shaking, projected image of doll in background, recorded
voice.
"Believe and you shall succeed"
that's a famous motto.
Building up some confidence,
so I can win the lotto...
For court cases are so scarey,
am shaking in my thong.
I must prove with innocent groove,
a cell- I don't belong !
My girlfriend she must miss me,
as "drama" unaware...
She's my doll, my parasol,
blowing up my love-affair.
Really do so miss her,
can't wait to get release.
Was guaranteed my girlfriend-
love will never cease.
Sitting here daydreaming of the many faces
That is hiding between the spaces
As we touch base I could make an open case
Baby in our life we are going places
It's plain to see you just need
more love from me
So you will know how far our love will grow
You remain to be a woman of mystery
As everything is as it should be
Major fireworks going off inside of thee
when I close my eyes to be happy and free
All I see are your many faces
Looking back directly at me
Oh this must be all the love you promised I'd see
Showering down like heaven so blissfully
Luckily we already agree
This has always been about you and me
I believe we have found the key
To beautiful love that is total reality
As far as the eyes can see
This is our guarantee
We are on a love spree
Turning on all this sensuality
That leads us to our family tree
I can foresee this going to be for eternity
money-back guarantee
to the emotional investment
made was promised years ago
but the commitment failed to
produce results
loses were felt all around
loses to the bank of emotions
were drained dry of all funds
the emotionally bankrupt bandit
had struck once again
