To protect and serve

launching
an adventure
into the unknown

Loosen up! laugh off unlucky breaks;
Lifelong lesson: settle mistakes.
Let’s get going; I’m your friend.
Lights shine at tunnel’s end.
Little things loom large
Listen, take charge.
Learn a new
Lease on
Life.

contest: Nine lines to let them know everything will be fine
sponsor: Silent One
I have a new email address.
Old one may work for awhile but
like life, it can stop at any time.
One problem so far.
This new address sends emails
multiple times like missiles
without any help from me.
So if one of my emails arrives
over and over and over
please, please let me know.
But like presidential tweets
nothing I can do about it.

The depth of my intensity is unfathomed and unknown
I mutter a million tongues in a million different tones
Unleashing my mind, I spew prolific poetry
Draw a wedge in your subconscious, like I’m parting the Red Sea.
I can speak into your mirror and distort your reflection
Rebuff the remnants of denial and rejection
I use dictionaries as pillows to absorb the definition
The creations of my mind fluently brought into fruition
Regurgitating rhythmical rhetorical reasoning
Metrically mingled in metaphorical meaning
I launch lyrics like missile’s launch rockets
Targeting your soundness i devour your logic
my thoughts slash deeper than even the third eye can see
Double edged sword, assured to bring you to your knees
Shake your composure like the clashing of clouds
Words once whispered, are now boisterous and loud
Ink embedded with Solomon’s wisdom, David anointed my pen
Possessed with spirits of the most high, stirring within.
I resurrected my resilience and recaptured my breath
These rhymes will live a thousand lives but never die a single death
