Engaging in divine firmament’s chorale
"The stars beckoned her song to reach the crescent moon"
Persuading the lunar beauty to join heavenly pursuit…
Gratefully cheered with sky’s singing delight
Night’s radiant gleam joined along intensified rhythm
Creating dreams along sonata’s harmony…
Soon wondrous music pervaded
Marvelously reverberating majestic melody
Worshipping the Creator midst His grandeur...
Gently awakening the earth
Song* from above lingers
Echoing in my heart until now.
*Isaiah 42:10 Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.

Not intellectual phrase
Not dumb
Eye of strength and conditioning of the human body
The motion of exercise
The lift intensified
Strengthening the mind in preparation with a pumping maneuver
Achieving results
Mind over matter
The hardness of muscle felt
Technique
Grip control
Focus of precise
Workout mode
Dumbbell action
Theory through the elements
Construct and Build
Fitness mind
The shape to come
The results to be
What the mirror will see
All in the Dumbbell
Followed by the Barbell
Achievement of a defined body
Dumbbell and Barbell proven.
river ghost shivers gaze vicious wicked
We rowed around the river bend;
the moon peeped under a black cloud.
An eerie feeling it did lend-
beheld a ghost with a black shroud.
Our shivers increased as we rowed;
it followed us with a blank gaze.
And, then air currents quickly flowed
as winds intensified the haze.
What is this vicious scene we see?
What does the wicked vision want?
Then all at once, it flew with glee!
Black garbage bag- our scary taunt!
thunder rumbles
constantly
off in a distance
even more thunder
thunder
gets closer
intensified
howling tempest
lightning flashes
thunderclaps
clap again
house shakes upon its foundation
gust's speed picks up
constant lightning flashes
bringing nitrogen to earth
i feel it turning plants green
wind chimes dance
jingle
play their tunes
independently
in the mist of the bluster
God's presence is real
i know He's here
in this chinook
i know my Protector lives
He cares
He's real
my humanness still is afraid
each shake
each flash
each intense billow scares
His presence keeps me
from falling apart
running scared
or panicking
strange but true
such is as it was
I was kissed one night
in love’s stillness pause
it happened like this
perhaps way past midnight
my presence was teleported
on a wingless flight
nodes within form stirred
I was suffused with cool heat
as magnetism intensified
I heard a loving tweet
Divine Mother bestowed a kiss
right between my eyebrows
behold now dear child, she said
how luminescent aura grows
heightened rapture ineffable
then became the norm
each body cell was set aflame
and I was centred in love’s storm
.
everyone imagined mine
eccentric
intensified once yourn
mine
bare clap'd
lock'd

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sky spills scarlet, a burning stain,
Even after midnight, ghosts remain.
Shouts of oblivion and a lady's name,
A swell of her palm burns a voracious flame.
The city is burning, a blaze at night,
Her inferno evolves, a frightening sight.
We labeled her as coarse and dissed her claim,
Ignorance of the reality intensified the flame.
Devil egg yolks, they dissed, an awful deceit,
Her envious says ripped a tear in the peat.
Wrath you all, she said, that you'll not learn,
My departure bars any hope for a return.
They chuckled, ignoring the sarcastic refrain,
Until she whispered, Burn!, and shared her pain.
The ground trembled, a warning unheard,
We were transfixed, by the horrible word.
There is no time to leave, no way of escape,
The inferno's outrage is a merciless drape.
There's not much time for prayer or despair
The fire devastated it without compare.
The reality I have gave for space
For the reality of the presence of being.
By the formation of the substance and elements.
Those who are not in space;sand,stone parts,duststones.
Stones intensified for the asset.
The structures of flexible stones.
For infinity of the wealthy area in space.
I sent the pieces in my study to space like missile.
Completion of the universe is fully with substances that complement the reality of man.
the bliss we sought has now intensified
although it matters not if our form bursts
it is abundantly clear we have been to lied
for it is the ego conjured identity that thirsts
this matrix of manifestation is but thought
conjured by the one as of choiceless choice
love alone is real, there’s nothing to be taught
each wave of the ocean speaks in one voice
He pressed onward
Unsure of his destination,
Smiling as the storm intensified—
Tearing at the sails, loosening the rudder.
His smile was not born of humor
But from recognizing his own strength
In the face of adversity.
"It's a beautiful chaos," he remarked
When questioned about his calm.
For he understood
That to unburden oneself
Is to find relief.
TO THINK
the frequent mangling
thoughtful tangling
factuation intensified by the love of the wise, is no wiseman at all, but
a commoner sequence going on and on. resplendent is the word,
complex is the verb. and the orderly brain functions that allow your
nerves to feel all is the fall.

In my residence devoid of winter
my mind virtually explores its reality-wonders
thus, with enthralling vicarious experience
I thank God for freedom to imagine
how it is to doze serenely
toward winter slumber
midst assailing below zero temperature
blanketing the room beyond chills…
Here am I persisting to defy coldness
enveloping season of enchanting enigmas
fueled by prayer place
warmed with divine compassion
heralding faith messages from God
hoisting hope*, insulated with fellowship
fiery against ice-kissed isolation…
around knitted family ties
intensified by gestures, verily kind
as love prevails to blossom
bearing fruits after Winter’s leaflessness.
*Psalm 78:7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.
I wander endlessly through the night my eyes filled with flowing droplets.
And yet,
I still wander.
Step by step I drift to a place,
A place where the wind is a simple breeze,
A place where the sounds are intensified,
A place where all is unmoving,
A place where I am all that cries.
My sobs fill the air.
And I pray not anyone hears.
For if they hear they shall worry
And I am not to be a bother.
I am one to comfort.
I am not one to be comforted.
I place myself below the dirt,
Below the smallest ants,
Below the scum of the earth
Below the entirety.
But even the smallest of bugs cry.
And I am as small as a fly.
Quagswagging of weeping willow.
In the eye of a severe storm
From my window, watching the show.
Quagswagging of weeping willow.
Terror deep within starts to grow.
The storm intensified its form
Quagswagging of weeping willow.
In the eye of a severe storm
The bottle was full
Just like their spirits
They shared as the talk grew louder
Spoke of times when drinking was sociable
That was a time ago
Now the drink was a necessity
The medicine of life
The bottle was beginning to empty now
Just like the existence they led
You could see it in their faces
As the battle for the last drink intensified
Every battle has a winner
This time he was the stronger
Gulping down the last drop as if his life depended on it
There would be many more battles like this
Ultimately, the main battle lay ahead
The final one
The freezing weather moved in slowly
Though he was totally unaware
Lying in a drunken stupor
Surrounded by empty bottles
Screaming as the battle raged inside him
Fighting for the final time
As his life slowly ebbed away
The snow covered him like a blanket
Peacefully taking him to a new place
The battle over
His thirty five year old existence finally at an end.
