She believed her Barbie's and Ken's
had shared a love far more complex
than any feelings they'd expressed --
AND dolls couldn't even self-dress!!!
She knew they were a mistake -
one she wanted them to address.
Her thoughts led to a request -
they both take a fear of change test.
Pleased to speak free, she confessed
being a part of couple failure debris
and held no fear of changing things.
She sensed relief peak as he owned
his tendency to cultivate regrets and
said he'd be more than fine living alone.
Once they aced the test, she at last
felt their tensions loose resentments.
Then they intelligently addressed
the logistics involved in couple deletion.
Next, they tossed their dysfunction map
and then summed up zero further cost
applied in paving a way out of this trap.
She was sure they'd only leveraged crap.

I don’t raise my voice.
I raise stakes.
One quiet word
can tilt the floor beneath you.
It’s not about force--
it’s about weight.
Where you place it.
When you shift it.
Who you let believe
you’re not watching.
I learned early
the value of silence,
how it echoes louder
when someone leans in.
Let them underestimate.
Let them smile
like they’ve won something.
I’ll be the hand
on the fulcrum.
They’ll call it chance.
I’ll call it design.
Because power isn’t always loud--
sometimes,
it waits behind the door
you didn’t notice opening.

Gone on to glory
Left a story
Grandson, Rain only lasts a moment
Sunshine brings the joy of what is to come
You are never alone
As you learn, life will be known
There will be days of sadness and despair
Your Heavenly Father is always near
When you kneel and pray things begin to change
It becomes a rearrange
Grandma’s experiences what gave wisdom
I am now up in the Heavenly Kingdom
You will fall, but always get up
Don’t complain
Negative things will remain
Always put Christ first
Never in reverse
Storms will come and go
You will get to know
Understanding in life will flow
Just be assured and be patient
Your blessings will radiate
Grandma knows
Your encouragement was the show
Hold on to Faith
Someday you will deliver your own show and tell
Your own wonders will turn out swell
Grandma can agree to that
Remember Grandma’s words, “Turning Point to Living”.

The by-far dull child at orphanage,
After placement on beverage,
Mathematics above average:
A sixty-nine percent anchorage?
Other kids could only vilely rage;
The most envious began fast to age
The once-empty thing at orphanage
Could thrice try syllabus coverage,
Teachers wasting words; he could manage,
No need to be under tutelage...
Means beverage gives one leverage
Kids' craving for it to encourage
Teenagers: Beverage leverage,
To them cash for purchasing courage
Dad and Mum willy nilly savage,
If their fine kids can't reach beverage.
A thing to cry over like carnage!

in the wavy life,
tide life...
From love, I made leverage...!

The hollow sounds of fog return this time of year.
Loud echoes of potato chip crunching tires on frozen snow.
Disappearing into the city night as stars emerge from hiding
in a black-blanketed sky. We move toward the cusp of country,
body twitching with remembrances of anticipation.
That first dark nighttime sky away from city lights,
glimpsing the Milky Way Orchestra tuning
its sound to the touch of our senses. Oh yes, there is a tingle
in the air. The first tiny ting of triangle leading to such a
crescendo of silence so loud you cannot hear with common ear.
You hear it with your soul. You may see a frozen deer along
the tree line staring or a fox half-halting with its searching ears;
miniature gramophones scooping giant swathes of air for sound
and hearing none. It is a silent swift of fog between the moon and earth
that lends its leverage to the Universe. One verse for us all tonight.

A muttered song through
the winds at moonlight,
draws me closer to your
castle by candlelight,
in a twinkling of an eye, in
a blink of eternity,
I stumbled into the streams
of sanctity and sanity.
Paint my past with pardon,
frame thy fragrance
into our future and trim
our today into a trance,
and I will forever wait
here... in the stars at dawn,
till the skies hear your
lulaby and never yawn.
Be planted in my plains of
pleasure, oh purple
hibiscus,
your words whirl in
adrenalin's aura has
crushed the Cactus,
fix my field with thy fill of
unquencheable flavour,
satiate my soul and let me
salivate, your spice to
savour.
never leave, ever love and
forever lean on this our
leverage,
stay closer, speak calmer,
steadily close this cleavage,
as the spirits saturate our
sanctuary, it's ever
salubrious,
so let the stars storm with
sparkles our subconscious.

Business before pleasure
Are you a big spender
Mortgaging your heart
For lustful endeavors
Straddling your bottom line
Leveraged with burgundy wine
She wants a quick merger
Before your numbers decline
