Premium Member My New Year Resolution

"We have more ability than willpower, and it is often an excuse to ourselves that we imagine that things are impossible". Francois de La Rochefoucauld


A fresh year is upon us, and the counter is ticking,
I carry out my recent resolutions for year-picking.
Self-discipline or staying in touch with family.
The family lives in the eternal heart, happily.

I will strain harder to retain my resolution,
to improve our planet for peace and evolution.
Faint waves of grace may clump a long way,
Conjure us a stable place and restrain evil at bay.

I wish to improve my family bonds this year,
They bestow concord, spirit, and a loving ear.
This year, I ought to transmute what I say,
Misunderstood words often ruin my day.

I'd aped to yield up even minor desires this year,
for they rarely come true and only wreak fear.
I wish to savor each moment with awareness.
Thoughtfully, I wish to increase my happiness.

The nonce ticking down to 2023 and midnight,
The preceding year viewed so much plight.
If I pick one resolution, it will be to be positive.
My cup half full stars glitter brighter, evocative.

No more premature sleepless nights are due,
Worry over the obnoxious, resentful few.
Learning to be grateful a million times over,
sharing prosperity with loads of delight sower.

My New Year's resolution was revealed in the past,
I hope that the year twenty-two will be our last.
I hope that the huge ball will achieve something,
It crushes the epidemic and the anguish it brings.

Premium Member Air and Water

Like water, we are consistently in portability. 
We've generally been headed for our fate to fulfill 
Achieving understanding, information, and empathy 
At the point when we recover our habit of life-thrill. ?

After a phony gloat, air and water rose to claim. 
Garbled, yet with the tone, It's trivial chatter. 
"I'm focusing on all," the water said I'm fame. 
I'm here for living creatures, and I assist them to foster.

I douse the flames that had injured a lot of people.
I supply goods across seas as if I were land and sky.
As a result, the air surged up and said, "I am the air."
Each species was created as a result of my supply.

Yearning makes hearts alive, so there is stillness.
I pushed the slag of the wind blew, ebbing the way.
All water offers benefits that may yield our bliss.
There is no air apart from god will; for him, we pray.

I can envision the tangle of a sluggish ocean.
The water fiercely snaps and swerves.
The same as ideas were bouncing around in my brain.
I'm pulled back by the wind, unable to alter steps.

The waves are hostile as they lash toward the cove. 
Blowing a fog aped a heave of cold air breathed out. 
Our identity is gone; our life is a wizardry rove. 
The brain is utterly throwing around with wave shout.

Times consistent ascent and fall, unending drops of sorrow. 
Many intend the need to show a wish paddler profundity. 
Significantly nearly ruin, a caring touch made all the bestow. 
The water has the sparkle of soul and God's trustability.

Premium Member An Excavation

Ensure you allude to all that has been recorded.
Every creature that has lived inside the rocks.
A long-forgotten former planet has appeared.
Awareness arises as we break the padlocks. 

Electric fan blades are humming in a hot place.
When you're alone, and there's no oxygen.
Loneliness looms overall aped a pitiful prince.
Bedlam rises when commotion inside deepens.

Reveal if that's innocuous, or it may injure people.
Are words yet another excavation experience?
Is it feasible to resurrect a moribund principle?
Did you find it bothersome or maybe mysterious?

There is a hole where the hamster once paddled.
Since the snake hissed at it but didn't even eat it
As the animal lays on the floor, its insides splayed.
Earth has morphed into the fabric under the seat.

Besides birds, giant excavators lay on their palms.
Underneath, you may view mind-boggling and tangled traffic.  
Yet, excavating a gigantic hole in the center of homes.
Let Earth deal with melting lakes or roving nomadic.

From the tenth balcony, the building site is visible.
A goliath, dead pit discharges light, fire, and vitality. 
Quietness loaded up with facts yelled in din risible. 
Coated with glass, gaze at a flying towel on a gallery.

Premium Member With Eyes Stayed On the Prize

Out of you and me,
The colors of our skins
And our humanity,
Comes the scarred history
Of the home of the brave
And the land of the free;
Where it always was held true
That in you and by you—
And only for you—all men
[of your hue] were created equal.

Indeed.  Said the darker hued
Were merely aped to be manlike
That the icon of the new nation—
Slavery and the pursuit of happiness—
Could be perceived as that negative goodness
That only servitude and meek humility could bring.

What deed could be more gracious?
Snatching savage beasts from a darken land;
Cultivating them to be docile beasts of burdens 
In a bright new world—Slavery—the common good!

But time is a funny thing.  When it passes,
It still leaves its footprints behind.  Dark hued
Ancestors are gone; but their audacity remains
Showing and leaving heirs what new tormentors
Will never ever see—what their eyes were watching.

What our ancestors saw, our eyes are now stayed upon.
Contrary to skewed belief, we too, were created
In the egg of life—laid free in history’s nest—incubated.



Now pecked free, we come laying our claim to the vision.  
Freedom is not a human gift.  With eyes stayed on the prize
We now come laying our claim to the liberating promise of God.

Premium Member Frozen Promises

Frozen Promises                                        June 23, 2026
______________________________________________________________
Frozen promises, aped icicles hang,
Glistening with deceit
No alteration in sight, the same yore song,
The disillusionment was a bitter defeat.

The sun, once a beacon of warmth and light,
Now hides behind a veil of darkened clouds,
The warmth of hope was replaced by plight.
Leaving us feeling lost in the shroud.

In this realm of torment and fear we tread,
Is a test of strength, where souls are led.
It's a battlefield of our creation.
Where we bear sequels of our damnation.

Yes, it's true; this world is hell.
But within its chaos, there are stories to tell.
We were not born to wither and fade.
But to rise above, unafraid.

What else do you expect? What else do you expect?
In a world filled with unrest?
A call to action, a plea for change,
To break free from this endless range.

Assertively, we are the base of the construction.
Of our living inferno, this destructive abduction.
But it's not too late; we can turn the tide.
With our grit, we can alter the course, with pride.

Reflections of Insanity

I don’t believe there is such a thing as a mirror,
Because this so called reflection is not really me.
I think he is a stranger that moved  into my house,
For the man that I see is somewhat,  ugly.

I think he built  this life size  window 
To spy on everything that  I do
And I can tell you he is beginning  pissing me off
I can feel my anger’s starting to brew

Once I moved to the side of the window
And he disappeared out of sight
What I could see a part of his room 
Gave me an terrible fright

The bugger’s been to the same shop 
And bought the same things I have
The bed, cupboards and lamp shades
And on the table he even has the same Sat. Nav.

I peeped into this window
With the hope to catch him off guard
But there he was looking at me
Staring just as hard

I stood in front of the loser and cussed the most colourful words
The monkey aped every action even the moving of his lips
Then it dawned on me that he wore the same clothes
In the same pose with his hands on his hips 

So infuriated, I punched the window
And ended his years of  peeping tom jeer
However, the bugger is now haunting me 
In every glass I happen to peer

Premium Member Killing Time

Hands tick in motion but I hear naught         
of the onslaught of killing time depicted. 
Minutes run past me in tarred darkness
as the visions in my brain are obscured.

Clocks eat away moments of my life.
I admit I'm nearly frightened to death
of those mimed hands whose strokes
stab me with each gasp of breath I take.

Round and around, silent warning given
in gross opposition to the beastly roar,
aped by masses of such foolish people,
oblivious that my plight is also their own.

Reticence gives no relief to assault.  I see
my fate's demise, and frightened I shall be
until death's full tariff has set my soul free.
Rhythmic tickings makes no difference to me.

Silence staggers my soul to substantiality.
Blinded by fear of my imminent necrosis,
I cannot traverse those two roving needles,
hellbent on stinging me to my neon grave!

Passage of time is but a travesty of life
in which man has no occasion to amend.
In the end, death haunts us all in silent
whispers; echoes of cruel scheming hands.

Premium Member It Hertz To Know You

When you visit my site, sad to say, sound's subsonic
My ears can't hear music an elephant hears,
A text message is louder (I do read all comments),
At times, I confess (though) they bring me to tears!

If my tears are from laughter or joy (when you honor
Me here with your presence) I count it a win,
For it's not just agreement, in fact, that I'm after.
I still dare to dream all that I share ghosts my sin!

Not just sin I've committed, but sin in my genome,
Hardwired by free will that no man has escaped!
Should the pitch of your visits be something I value?
Ascribed too to sin? Should such manners be aped?

I don't write for your pleasure, still pleased when that happens.
In faith, I am you and think you are me too!
But our acts trip us up on the path to tomorrow,
All virtue's skin deep that we wear (frail tattoo)!

It's in pain that I grok you (for you're my reflection)
Though friendship has content like words of a song,
It's a choice that we make (and the heart of what matters!)
If Grace can't intoxicate, something is wrong!

Premium Member Wave of Fantasy

Dreaming is a choice,
Suchlike a breeze
Or a blooming rose
Petals flourish anyway,
I have dreams and - fantasies
This wave of fancy
Suchlike fresh air to my spirit
My muse - is obdurate
Assist in my endeavor
Stardust metaphors erase shyness
Spreads soothing stake shades
 
The bright moon
With its stillness
Silently watching over us,
At the bottom of the sea,
Fantasy of acceptance
With a backward glance,
To impanel who deserves
Becoming a seaside charmer
The sound of the waves
Swarming aped thunder,
Mysteries that magnify madness
 
A magic that can only be used once,
Invoked by the tides
I was literally astounded 
Through this surreal event,
A dreamer soul
Whose kiss dispels all doubts?
In fantasy, fantastic feelings
Sight and story are the core
To provide the reader with realism,
Exquisite and vibrant
Bright - cerulean hues dazzle and deepen.

Premium Member On a Happy Blessed Day

In the evening of this beautiful sunshine day
I took a cooling-off walk through the park.
There I saw buoyant ducks and little ducklings
Watching a bullfrog sitting on his lily pad throne;
His pulsating neck aped silent crocking rhythms.

The greenish hued pond water was as still as death
Until the little ducklings began flapping their wings
In a manner that seemed as if they were in a game
Playing Rock! Paper! Scissors! or skiing with wings.

As I strolled past this joyous view, a distant car backfired!
Suddenly, but for the water, the pond became empty and
Looking around, not an amphibian nor avian was in sight.
Assured by nature that all was well, I continued my walk.

Having returned home, I now sit here out on the verandah
And gazing up into the eastern sky I wait for the rising moon.
Come,” let the church say amen!”  For a man “born by the river”, the
Change that’s “gonna come”…allegorically revealed itself today.
