The sponge was smiling back, to me, with all those arithmatics, done dishes
(a predestined setting)
Cordial, versatile with a blatant truth, to shy from a trochaic, rythmic sounds
The killers are a synnonym for strumming fingers, almost an ensuing song
Although, an earnest rush felt reckless for a neckless tie, almost all day long!
The Yellowstone and prayer bids, sung high, from windowpane, a golden, rich
The twilight icebreaker, a melting sun, o'er all those or these, yet to preach
Sudden depth of random droplet clouds, an earnest, already trying too, along
(journey back to home, alone)
with a rusty indifference, assuming shining countertop, sporadic, all day long!
A long gone cozy knit, with a brief, tightly fit
A tea set, already to reign
to wrap all these, altogether, to a duo, misfit
there, then, start again!

The Filmmaker
A pleasant scene takes part in a dream,
pursues pleasure of the dream-maker,
as confident eyes commenced a theme,
practiced movies be a filmmaker.
Pursues pleasure of the dream-maker,
empowering fictions that he scheme,
practiced movies be a filmmaker,
doing his chief best as being deem.
Empowering fictions that he scheme,
thrills film-goers with an icebreaker,
doing his chief best as being deem,
proud of what he does as caretaker.
Thrills film-goers with an icebreaker,
as confident eyes commenced a theme,
proud of what he does as caretaker,
a pleasant scene takes part in a dream.

#Icicle Castles and the Residents inside:
Meet the PADLOCKS, RESIDENTS and the POTENTIALS...
They are locked inside, as time goes by, and all they had to do, was make a BREAKTHROUGH...However, NO ONE WANTED TO BE THE "ICEBREAKER"
Except the Sun MELTED the Castle!
A current Hassle for the Padlocks, (Participants) and Potentials???
Let's Hope They Find New Land...
With The Exclusion Of SAND.

Icebreaker
Stomach in a knott
Got the jitters
Got the runs
Anxiety on its high.
Made a choice to recite
Poetry of the night
Heart pounding
Knees shacking
Eyes bulging
Crowd waiting.
MOTHER
This decision isn't right
Crowd staring
Words choking
Got stage fright.
Having doubts
Looking scared
Holding onto the mic
MOTHER
I need to take a quick flight
Got to get out of sight.
Felling like I'm trapped in the corner
Always looking over my shoulder
There had to be an informer
There was no icebreaker
Thanks to that skip tracer
The shadows are getting darker
And the nights are getting longer
A gorgeous reporter and her damn recorder
Now I'm racing for the border in this horror
I have to sleep just pray I'm not a snorer
Or I might not wake to see the undertaker
Either way I will end up with my maker
A risk taker in GODS acre
Staying clear of Hells half acre
All this cause they thought I was the money taker
Now I'm the Quaker trapped in the corner

Polar cubs braced upon their mother bear
Like little children
Seeking your hugging wings.
Frozen branches
Wore emerald and crystals
As sparkling as fair jewelry of your inner grace.
Your silver sympathy dressed a sky of cotton clouds
Playing flutes of icy wind and snowflake
Under plentitudes of penguins, which crossed snow
That sweetly swelled like your fruits.
Then some glacier parted into two,
By the wide warmth of your queen exploration
Releasing timid ice around men's hearts.
And from cold waters
Awoke a large furry wolf
That soon stalked your innocent soul
Who shook the sheet, of sleet,
With your harmonious heat.
But your harmless hands petted his great head
Until it found its home upon your guiltless lap.
an Icebreaker speech
standing at the podium
welcome Toastmasters
From across this frozen wasteland
I spot a solitary amber light on shore
I wonder if they are looking at me
Or wondering what im out here for
But i think that they might be busy
Grabbing gifts from neath the tree
And having second helpings of stuffing
To be thinking at all of me
It makes me ponder my life's choices
That have lead me to this night
Frozen in this metal hull
With not a soul in sight
I sit and take the midnight watch
So the ship is safe and sound
But i keep staring at the amber light
Wishing i had both feet on the ground
The sunrise breaks on purple horizon
The amber light fades in mornings mist
The dark clouds slowly roll away
To recieve blue skies morning kiss
An icebreaker on the horizon
Is slowly making way
And all on board are cheering
Though we all missed christmas day
FROZEN HEART
An icebreaker in
The arctic,
My love for you has become,
Skirting large ice caps of
Indifference
That surrounds your desolate
Heart!

You know you can never trust another man
But go ahead if you think it's worth it
And a Lady's heart is like a sacred object
These days you might have to dig up a grave just to find one
It's okay girl, I use sarcasm for the icebreaker
You are such an awesome and nice Lady
And since I punctured the surface
Let me Go ahead and open the path to your emotions
And as far as this decade, As far as the best go
I'm not even sorry
It's your heart, and thats why i rise above the competition
Now you speak, and the melody of your voice it calms me down too
You say " You know I am so glad I found you"
Oh my God! ain't she just the sweetest lady
I know it's a time for silence
So that means she must have something more to say to me
she says can i ask you a question?
I'm like hmm! I wonder what she wants me to ask her
Because she's still thinking of what to ask me
Now she says What is your favorite thing to do for me
You know my favorite thing to do for you is to write you poetry
And why ain't i got none
Well on poetry soup i got a book there
I mean look there,I got Timothy Jacks, Polished Chrome, and the Dropman
JANUARY SUNRISE
Over frozen Neva, the slowly flowing *
Sun came up, big, oval and orange - glowing
Off the ice-bound water bright, showing
How, after the dark days of December’s night -
That warmless, brightless hopeless sight -
We could feel alive and thankful in the sunlight.
An icebreaker shoved its way briskly through
The moveless channel, enveloping itself in a hue
Of misty water and ice fragments blue.
Then the river fell rigid and still again
As we wished and sought the sun’s domain
On our chilled cheeks; but we gazed in vain
Over the frozen Neva - as Franklin in distress *
Must have peered endless
Through the frigid night of Boothia’s wilderness.
With the channel shimmering, misty rainbows
Purified the air. We took the offered dose
And thankful filled our lungs as the sun arose.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
*The River Neva is the main waterway in St. Petersburg, Russia
*Lord Franklin died in 1845 exploring the Northwest
Passage near the Boothia Peninsula, Canada
PSYCHOLOGICAL ENZYME
Have a day move
I need someone
An icebreaker
A breakaway
An inspiration
A morning delight
To a right start.
Foremost, a prayer for His guidance
A Christian living style
After this spiritual igniter
A second thought is a love one
I cannot miss at all
This very thought and feeling of the heart
This someone is YOU I’m talking about.
Without this someone
As if I cannot sustain a day longer
In all my activities YOU is one that bridge
My day from zero figure
To complete fullness
I need a virtual psychological enzyme
The greatest enhancer
To be abreast in this troubled times.
