"Tell me and I forget.
Teach me and I remember.
Involve me and I learn." Quote By: Benjamin Franklin
My love, touch me, hold me, kiss me.
Words come easy, action I see.
Tell me, I'll forget, won't return.
Teach me, involve me, and I'll learn.
Your words melodize warms my heart,
Show me and it won't fall apart,
But absorb and warmly return.
Teach me, involve me, and I'll learn.
As we lay and wound in the dark
Light enough kiss to start a spark,
Your gentle touch I love and yearn.
Teach me, involve me, and I'll learn.
My love, touch me, hold me, kiss me.
Years later we'll cherish you'll see
A note in my mind burns unworn.
Teach me, involve me, and I'll learn.
Involve yourself in the practice of fine ethics by being positive.
Negotiate as you can, but never be quiet for a tacit thrive.
Visionaries start with a blank page and infuse their future.
Originality sets the gap between a challenger and the leader.
Life you desired takes the path of your hopes and endeavors.
Vibrancy is your level of inspiration on how you desire to live.
Energy supply, when fully loaded, can restore the body itself.
Mistakes are humans made; even success is slow, proceed to trial.
Each time you decide would induce you stronger and self-assured.
Ailments evoke you to weep, not because you are weakling.
Nuisance is continuously compounded with graciousness.
Discontent is to be expected, just as mental anguish is.
Issues are again critical than types of activities.
Loss of someone prompts me to focus on how vital he was.
Evaluating people who are close to us is not a safe habit.
And being free of sorrow, you must bear the blame for it.
Reflective belief is complex, but it is helpful for a clean soul.
Never earn a mistake is the same as never doing something.
Resolve, Evolve and Involve Haiku
If you did resolve
Are you sure what would evolve
Me do not involve.
I hate it that You have so much power over me God
You can do anything
Do what You want
And all I can do is watch
Well God it won't be involving me
'cause you can leave me out
'cause I don't think I can take it
So just do okay?
And don't involve me
Love ya
I will stop for now
unless I want to bother ya
Let me drink in the beauty
Let me see for what my eyes could’t see
Drown shall I in lifetime’s duty
Let me be for what I can never be
A little stranger I became
Stranger still for you and me to accept
A self though... I see remain
A you though might I see a different concept?
Perhaps a little too self involve
Yet perhaps the world is in itself
Some truth from me maybe for you a false
Yet, don’t we all have involvement as wealth
In time, friendlier we dare risk
And never once making the world a friendlier place
This world we build we do as we please
For self involvement will mean dreams we chase
Let me drink in the beauty
For what I believe the world to be
Drown shall I be in forever mystery
Let me see for what my eyes couldn’t see
A lesser self was involved
My lesser self I let stray
Perhaps of the world for the caused
For my world to let stay
With everyday for the mind
Every night for dreams
Some peace becomingly harder to find
Yet of peace to change as it seems
Simply light to evoke the dark
Of darkness to elude the morning Sun
Two sides to never be apart
Our two sides… what have we done?
With without effort we change
Listening to what the world have become
Days and nights to only remain
Some days we learn, some nights we run…
Have I a self to feel involve?
Did my lesser self went away?
Perhaps of myself for the cause
To have my world… let me stay?
True Romance Does Not Involve Your Pants
By Rick Rucker
True Romance can be shared on the dance floor,
Moving to music, nothing more,
Making Love, and sex are great,
But not all that you should share with your mate,
Every time I see My Love,
I hear trumpets, from Above,
Her face is like a work of art,
I cherish the memory when we’re apart,
Sometimes, I squeeze her far too tight,
I think it might be from fright,
That this is all a dream,
If I awaken, without Her, I would scream!
To think that I have found this Love, so late in Life,
That she would love me, consent to be my Wife,
We will marry, and right then,
I will be the Luckiest of Men!
