I am not a pessimist
However I must let you know:
Every life dies, and
Once dead cannot be immortal
Body separates from soul
And soul flees to heaven or hell
Nowhere hides a fact
That you will be no longer you
As I knew as I don't know
What can help us to substitute
For God's sake ,disease, pain and
Unsolvable issues for Wealth and health
For everybody including him/er and you
I know by watch, and I know by feel
This embarrassing limit does act
And never stops by now
From the very long time ago
I realized that Everyone's life is a tragedy
And saviors are too old
Left each earthly life alone
Compromise or compete for a mutual good
It's no doubt the best route to go
Sadness has no name, nor quiet disguise
This dim-lit realm of shade where tears can fall
And steal the heart's soul without compromise
To lay with shadowed pain to creep and crawl
In this, I wear each splattered raindrop felt
As they collect and fall from swollen eyes
I'll feel the face of love begin to melt
From coldest breath that flows from warmest lies
There is no pain that's ever free from debt
It's owed to judgments made and choices spent
To each cut that's made and each eye that wept
It brings to me these tears of sad lament
These rainy days that come with sadness found
Lead to a lonely space that will surround

Seven deadly sins
within myself it begins
Every little lie built up
Now compromise for
Anger~
I lost control
Gave it up
And screamed for my soul
Lust~
I stared with such need~
Every barren love
Left me yearning for a seed~
Envy~
I was wanting to be you~
You looked so happy while i was so
Blue~
Gluttony took over and said
Eat it all until your dead
Greed told me
That I
could make it real
Take it all
In fact, just steal
Sloth told me that I could stay still
Let the water flow past
Make it real
Finally pride stepped in and said-
Nobody beats me, im the best at what i've led
Seven deadly sins
like snakes crawling up my spine
Reasons to begin
But feelings start to feel sublime...
Living in a bubble where reality is virtual
Truth is a blur in a fabricated ritual
TV news bursting with political views
The rich pay no taxes and the poor pay their dues
Guns are the toys that manufacture death
Violence the machine to take away your breath
The streets are a war zone not fit for walking
Some are mentally deranged, their AR15's do the talking
It's them against us and you against me
There's no compromise in the political sea
Gangs in the street, their guns have no pity
There's no mercy in bullets in the heart of the city
Hate is a commodity traded on wall street
The love stock has crashed in agonizing defeat
The Capitol's been sacked, and some people gloat
And some senators are selling their soul for a vote

Small gathering
Chat and booze;
Cheer mixes well
~~~~~~~~~
Public outcry
Corrupt cult;
Reduced sentence
~~~~~~~~~
Words retreat
Darkness floods;
Cicadas chatter
~~~~~~~~~
By temple facade
Glimpse mindful maze;
Karmic winds
~~~~~~~~~
Joy greets
Sorrows teary;
Compromise
~~~~~~~~~
Hot news today
Discounted appeal;
Sentences halved
~~~~~~~~~
Squirrel zigzag
Tree trunk track;
Curious tact
~~~~~~~~~
Walkway parade
Busy bodies fly past;
Workday side show
~~~~~~~~~
Lamplight glow
Evening interlude;
Bedtime story
~~~~~~~~~
Faces familiar
Evening meal here;
Gourmet finesse
~~~~~~~~~
Note book scribbles
Tentative words stretch;
Meandering take
~~~~~~~~~
Copy write
Clever glimpses;
Highlight ideas
~~~~~~~~~
Water colour sketch
Tints and hues blot;
Emergent picture
~~~~~~~~~
Prayer time
Temple bells;
Joss sticks smoke

There’s a fault line everywhere I stand.
When the guards come pull me from the dark.
You sanctify the earth that’s in your mind, I’m not giving up, I know it’s right, you sanctify the colors in my mind.
And I just got this feelin', don't know what it means, so promise as you go, I know that you'll leave.
What if it doesn’t get better with time and I’m still alone?
As I pass on to those white gates, I just couldn’t tell I was living in Hell.
I’m laying motionless.
Where you used to rest your head, lying awake in bed feeling the spot on my chest.
Shrinking our worth, mixing fiction with crime like a substance.
It’s like a light that slowly dies.
Love a vampire.
Put my pain in a pill, I’ll swallow it.
Raise a glass of wine for the last time.
Your blood should run cold, so cold.
And when their bones decay, in dust they’ll float away.
I sleep to hear the lullaby.
Don’t go, please find me in my dreams.
I must be out of my mind, I try to find a purpose in life but I’m better off dead.
Followed your ghost through the moonlight.
You got my little black heart and it’s dying in your hands.
As the whole world burns, it’s so beautiful.
Everything around me’s changed and of course it had to start with losing you.
Was I wrong to put you first?
To compromise has never been a strength of mine.
You can take a chance and let it slip away..
Loyalty
Solely, merely, only
Unique and pure
No conflict and blind compromise
No puzzle
No criterion
No mind map
No mindset
Maybe no harms
Before you're lost and regret
We're loyal because we love , we believe
Maybe loyalty must base on
Love,humanity and democracy
But not merely canvassing
Selfishness,greediness and
benefits
History did tell us
Politicians are cunning sometimes
Politicians may have questionable loyalty
They're merely loyal to their families, friends, parties
Himself
Selfishness, greediness and benefits
Rather than his country
And his people
Keep your eyes open
You can change your loyalty to the politicians
Of course not to the country you love
But because of the country you love
You must make good use of the votes
At your hands
And merely at your hands
To save your country and the people
The Things My Love and I Do Together
The things my love and I do together
Confirm our commitment to each other.
In this, we share our belief with strangers
Through the vows we keep, said at the altar.
As we move forward, accepting our fate
To build our home and raise our family,
We won’t let misgivings secure a place,
Nor jealousy take root in a crisis.
Instead, may the lifestyle we choose fulfill
Our days with love, joy, and accomplishment,
And fear not the grip that evil instills,
But promise to agree to compromise.
Remembering temptations are short-lived,
And marriage is all about forgiveness.
Juxtaposition
Living in the grey shadows of ambivalence–
Somewhere in between grace and sin –
Begging for light yet clinging to darkness
Longing to escape into the heavenly yet clutching mortal bones
Inspiration’s marriage of opposite hemispheres
With reason marching to the metronome of linear time
One floats into the realm of timeless boundaries
Amid song or silence -
Spring-summer solstice dreams the youthful dreams
Fall-winter holds prophetic visions
In silver laments embraced or golden joy caressed -
Far flung fantasy bumps up against
Relentless facts in sound and fury
Wandering in stale drought of empty entitlement
Or settling in the oasis of the abundant gracious
Love pulls at the hands of stagnant indifference
To open inertia into blooms of compassion
Living in between grey whispers of tempest or calm
Black and white send scouts named either or,
And yet - yeah but -
Where choice experiments with a neutral conclusion
Of a newborn compromise that takes the best
From the first born harvest fruits of juxtaposition

The Ultimate Prize
There are failures who express truth as the belief in others
And litigate with Jesus Christ to absolve themselves of blame,
Because success to them is in the visions of jealous minds,
And their approval is valued as if they control destiny.
Foolish heart, set your sight upon God and place love above pride,
And be not a worthless flutterance grasping for altitude;
Set for yourself the ultimate prize and seek eternal life,
And shun envy’s definition of Christ from misleading you.
At the guest’s table, earthly treasures you believe to be the answer,
Where the consequence of decision is discarded as irrelevant.
At a predetermined time, your compromise will be rendered,
As your demeanour is exposed and intentions declarant.
In the halls of justice, mercy is extended by forgiveness;
Look in His direction with confession as a prerequisite.
Be wary of entrapment and do not keep company with the faithless;
The ultimate prize of eternal life is the gift Jesus gives.
