Stay dangerous
Even when you are in pain
Stay sharp
Never retreat into darkness
Stay alert
Dont be caught off guard
Stay disciplined
Don’t succumb to weakness
Stay mysterious
Until time is right
Then fall like lighting
he was nineteen
lived life big
felt he was invincible
used drugs
drove his car super-fast
we never knew if it was the car wreck
or the pentanol
but he was not invincible
I shall write our story in grandeur;
No rumours nor envy shall endure.
It shall not be penned with pen or paper
But within our hearts with invincible ink.
No mortal eye shall see or feel -
But only thee, beloved shall.
If thou dost need me, reach out thine hand,
I'll be there for thee, O gentle love.
For mine heart hath tuned with thine own beats,
And I'm now become the rhythm of thy heart.
Though the world might cast aside or seek to severe,
I shall love thee still - with love, pure and divine.
gaslighting - she is inflammable
I am orange red and yellow
Swirling in enthusiasm
Excited about life
A cartoonist, painter, writer
Possibly a poet,
Somedays much better than others
My life has gone by quickly
I have survived many car wrecks
Thanks to a heavy accelerator foot
I feel lucky, maybe invincible
Can I be killed?
I doubt it
I incorporate fun in my life daily
Loving the real me
exult, newlyweds
you're truly invincible ~
aaarrrgghh! toilet seat's wet
She is broken and beautiful
Shining in the highlight of your stories
Nothing is invincible
Let her light be the glory
To shine upon your face
To bring you pain
I am invincible. I cannot be killed.
I cannot die. I have wondered why.
I call out to God “Thank you!” I say.
Thinking this will be my death day today.
I have had car wrecks that would have killed all others.
What is keeping me here? It cannot be my brothers.
My sister needs me not, my children are all grown.
I wonder if I will ever get back to heaven’s throne?
I think I am going to be killed and I yell out “hooray!”
But God answers back, “Sorry, Missy, not your turn today.”
Apparently I have many things to finish before I can leave here.
It makes me feel rejected sometimes. I cannot be killed, it is clear.
Invisible yet invincible

A tender moment
between a mother and her babe
nuzzling for nourishment
creating a bond so great
Beyond comprehension
invisible yet invincible
forever in consciousness
forever merged hearts and souls
Forged in blood
in late night feedings
early morning greetings
roundabouts and swings
More tender moments
a lifetime of promises
searching for individuality
whilst wanting to stay bonded
Relationship milestones
time marches on
age makes no difference
to a mother's protective arms
Always in touch
no distance can erase
telepathy brings
emotions to the surface
Nothing is stronger
more gentle
more right
than the bond between
a mother
and
her child

In the U S March is Women's History Month, and tomorrow, March 8, is International Women's Day. So, ladies everywhere, this piece is for you. Salud!
You are woman, so defined,
You are perfectly designed,
Every aspect of your being makes you who you are.
You meet the challenges you face
With intelligence and grace,
Because of you the human race has come so far.
You have measure, you have worth,
And your purpose here on Earth
Is to show the world war's not the only way.
You may question, you may doubt,
But you bring good things about,
And do it all without a rancorous display.
Man is creation at its worst,
Why you were not invented first
Is a mystery, unsolvable, it's true.
Though chauvinists may sneer and scoff,
We might be so much better off
If the running of the world were up to you.
We'll never understand God's plan,
So from one less-than-perfect man,
To all you women,
Thanks for all the things you do.
Feels invisible...
Still, will as invincible
As his ideals.
Destroyed the impossible,
To become most powerful.
'The Greatest ... the Most Superb ...
The Invincible Birthday Candle ..!’
It was at the peak of its career,
It was much too hot to handle.
Its boasts always waxed, never waned,
It made the other candles sick,
Its bragging claims enough to get on
A more modest candle’s wick.
No challenger came forward ...
Though not through lack of spine,
They just watched and waited,
Preferring to bide their time ...
Night after night, it would bluster away:
"On me, no other candle is a patch,"
Then one day it was stuck into a cake,
And it finally met its match.
Invencível
Desde sempre
a pessoa
invencível
é aquela que
nunca se perturba
por nada
fora de
seu controle.
Na vida e
nos negócios
tudo que está
debaixo do seu
controle
é fazer
mais e mais.
I'll walk through ice and numbing snow
Though slaying cold be its freezing feel,
And trek through roasting deserts drear,
Taxing grip betwixt soil and mortal heel.
Not lonely climes shall my strides deter
Though forbidding such motions prove;
Every steady step sturdier than the last,
Toe and sinew shall defy earth's groove.
Past shroud of searing beams and heat
Shall these wornout soles tireless tread;
Every tactile kiss knitting earth and heel
More painfully spewing its slicing dread.
Neither immobilizing blow nor chill's bite
Shall these gallant legs dampen or slow;
Against menacing pestilences and trials,
Must this walk persist past darkest woe.
We do things in the evening when the moon is scanty
We would never have the courage to do in daylight
This is the quintessential falling in love time
When the moon gives us a glimmer of a glimpse of another human.
They look magical, and we feel invincible
Evening’s natural ambiance encourages us to be the best of ourselves
Giving us a clear path to Mercury and Jupiter,
showing us how to reach up and grab our soul from inside a star.
We become invincible, mystical, and we do not hesitate
Leaving our day self behind,
Bringing our endgame to fruition
Encouraged by the constellations
The Greek goddesses and gods smiling
