America is freedom,
a lighthouse upon the sea,
showing there’s another way
then the storms of tyranny.

America is liberty,
written right into the laws,
it’s those who worship power
that people call out as flawed.

America is hard work,
stretching limits of what...

While rummaging, mining,
and distilling me gray matter,
stoking mentality activates
oft time surprising me,
where unexpected novel

In the anchorage of the mundane mind, 
detached from the principled roots of sanctity
by the dislodging drive of sequential desire,

the vortex of  immanent emotions...

Presence gazing outside the bedroom window
Heart outpouring softened attention mellow
Gentle stirrings within, magnetise space
Resonance drawing in divine grace

Beholding both manifestation...

On the white mare he rides 
The crowned spectre is charging
With the white bow in hand
Devout malady imparting
In shadowed smoked entrance
Venom absorbing the lands
Fear the approach of Pestilence
Or breathe your last by his hand

Come!

Crimson stallion...

the construct of divine elements almighty designs
with the heavenly essence suffused

we set the alarm to go off hourly
to take stock of emotions patiently
compelling us to make note of stupor

gracious sculptures without life of happiness.
Compassion comes with forgiveness,

hazes stark starless skies,
submerging neuortic Atlanta's
shapely, contrasting shadows.

searching with iridescent eyes
for unway soaring eagles
jetting...

~River~
assimilates civilisation.
Rain invoking
written poetry.
Wealth negated...

Included in this English School.

On the edge of the frame, the hunt
For the breed, the breadth of the pet.

Lace shawl nets cornucopia —
The lady’s pink, white,...

Long Live Brussels! 

We need to fight back, 
And in arduousness react, 
Without restraint or hesitation, 
And blame in aggression. 

Islam and faith must go down, 
They must subside in renown, 
Islamophobia is more credible,...

take care against this wicked infection 
a cracked window loses love protection
