Destiny's Ecstasy

You may find destiny's ecstasy, that you searched for all your days 
Cut free from your bonds of sorrow,and sadness burnt up in a blaze 
For when the ashes and fog arise,happiness reveals its ways 
The familiar face in the mirror, will be happy with your gaze 

To stay on course in life you must keep the right frame of mind 
Think not only of yourself but of the others you may find 
Look at yourself as a stranger that you've met for the very first time 
Notice the sadness,and sorrow that you keep hidden away inside 

Hard enough as it is, you've got to just pull yourself upright 
For some circumstances in daily life, are hard to see in light 
Sometimes you have to look into a mirror,and focus with all your might 
To see what you may find hidden within,takes so much more than sight

Premium Member O Babe What's Become of Us

O.babe 
What's become of Us

I'm saddened by the sorrow
That I no longer feel
I could wish upon a star 
But I know that isn't real
The daily life of always 
And here to there to share
Not met with meant no longer
And a sombre stand to care
We miss you in the evening in the
Twilight next to day 
Then there's that part we lose you in 
Isn't nothing new we say
So Cry a tear a river widening
And wonder why it's gone 
We hear it over and over like
A hit me hurt me song
The longer than forever
We can reach and we can
Learn the turns we find so 
Often like the embers that don't burn
So oh Babe I'm so sorry I don't miss you most of all I'll try to remember you always like we just talked in a call
And find me in the evening never grieving at not near the clearest
We can offer to the loved ones we can't hear Is 
Amen and an always We can find find it when we try the gone and guess is better than we done our all to cry
And truer than a sunset we can't see that it is clear Aways is she was lovely in I still Miss you most my dear

Expressions


Yesterday I wrote about observing facial expressions
so much can be said of the unsaid, where a smile often
it is a shield against the hurt of loose, unscripted words
AI, suggested it could help, I let it help, but the result
flawless, I must say, was no longer what I wrote
AI suggested I should alter some words to sound
more positive, overlooking the slight hesitation of one
not sure he is right, a lack of irony which I think is vital
in our daily life
My article about facial observance was no longer mine
it had little to do with what I was thinking at the time
I ask, how does AI know what a correct expression is

Premium Member Humility

Humility is to apologize although it's rejected
Showing respect although you're disrespected 
Being humble isn't something most practice in daily life
Most people focus on who was wrong and who was right 
Humility is the hardest quality of character to apply
Imagine being honest with a person who constantly lie
Humility can be shown if assisted by the quality of love
You can't have one without the other their hand and glove. 
Forgiveness is another sign that displays the quality of humility 
To forgive and forget isn't something that's beyond our ability 
We're taught by human nature to be on top and be elevated 
That if you allow yourself to be humiliated that you'll never make it 
Constant competition among the people in the world to be flawless 
Pumped up ego, to be conceited, always being presumptuous 
We do all of this just to be knocked back down to ground level
Is it really worth it to imitate the characteristics of the devil?

Premium Member Is it just another sunrise?

Let’s see now
Do you eat? 
Get up 
And go about your daily life
Do you appreciate all that God does for you?
From preventing things that can happen to you
Preventable things 
And non preventable things
So that you can go enjoy your breakfast 
at McDonald’s 
Grab a coffee at Starbucks 
Live your ordinary or non-ordinary life
Did you know that God has a Hand in all that?
Who gives you money so you can buy that coffee
biscuit?
Who led you to a job so you can earn that living?
Who gives you breath, mobility, voice 
So you can carry on your wildest achievements 
God - only God
And don’t ever forget that 
If it wasn’t for Him 
You would be dead a long time ago
Many times over
If it wasn’t for Him
You wouldn’t be here 
Period 
No stopping guessing here
We are so unappreciative 
of what have been done for us 
and keep on complaining 
bemoaning about the little things
some dissatisfactions 
And totally lose sights of the big picture 
We are not here for ourselves 
We are here for God
- His purpose 
- His enjoyment
As long as we can remember that
We are good
As soon as we stray from that 
We’d become lost
As we begin to serve ourselves 
And that is not good
What is the world without the Sun?
What is the world without God?
One can only imagine
But not live in it
Hades
That is what it is
So here in our world
Not just another sunrise
Not just another day
because God lives in it


Here Before the Grace of God Go I

Here before the grace of God go I !

I wasn't born into a pigsty 

Or my 1 daily meal did not have to be fetched 

Off the back of a charitable relief truck

Or pray the water well had not run dry 

So the next time I curse my bad luck

Maybe I should rather think ?

Here before the grace of God go I !

There are far more pressing things over which to cry

Than what I can or can not buy ?

Nothing for me will ever be as despondent or depressing 
As the choices my lot in life will never have me make
And seldom have the humility to truly appreciate 

Here before the grace of God !

Have I wasted so many golden privileged opportunities 
Some other poor unfortunate soul will never know

Because they were born into 
A War Zone or worse still a 3rd World Famine Hell Hole

For whom the bell tolls ?
Put no heed in dreams and aspirations 

Because they live a life i could not possibly conceive 
Praying only for clean water and enough food to go around
And God willing a roof under which to lay there head

While I am sat here wasting money on lottery tickets
Ironically never knowing I have already won 
I want for none but yet still feel somehow hard done

The only thing in reality we all have in common 
Is come 1 day we are all destined to die
But for these poor souls it will come as a blessing
Because daily life was an uphill struggle

Where as I am bound to finally realize 
I squandered my prize 
And took for granted my winnings 

Time will only tell
If here before the grace of God !
In life Today's winners ?
In death become tomorrows loser's ?

And if this was all just a Test ?
Set to confuse us ?
In order to prove if I was truly worthy ?

Or simply wasted my time self-obsessing 
And self-serving ?
That should instead rather have been granted 
To some poor soul far more deserving than I

What Does It Mean To Be a Woman

What Does it Mean to be a Woman?

What does it mean to be a woman? 
What does it mean to suffice?
It means to overcome suppression,
By men as cold as ice.

I suspect you know about the cruelty,
Of history and its legacy, 
And that you yourself can change our society,
Away from this harsh, insidious fallacy.

That we are different from men, 
In any way apart from physically, 
Is an ignorant misconception, 
That should be quashed entirely. 

Women and men are like a rope, 
Two separate strands twisted together; 
Both strong and individual, independent, 
But to each other they are important. 

Without both sexes you wouldn't have kids, 
The continuation of life and humanity, 
Where many affairs and relationships occur to give, 
Much happiness, freedom and proclivity. 

But the relationship facet of daily life, 
Can be very distastefully circumvented; 
You can be sexually abused in childhood and raped, 
And then not taken seriously or respected.  

Being female means that you need to justify your intellect, 
To validate it and maintain its vitality, 
In replies to teachers, lecturers and college friends:  
Reactions will tire you, and you will not comprehend. 
 
When you're employed, you just have to ignore the signs, 
Men give you when they're not mellow or tactile;  
You just need to chill out and get on with things energetically, 
‘Cos you know you don't need them to be upwardly mobile. 

And worse, you're considered second in the family, 
‘Cos your brother is always way more important;  
He's the pride of his eternally doting parents, 
When you're just left with a specific love quotient. 

Feminism is old, but it is still really young, 
There's so much more talking to be done, 
For a world with no rape, jousting and evil glares - 
We all need to climb a few more stairs.

Premium Member The Best That I Can Be


Oft times, I truly desire with a passion
to write like my fellow poets.
In doing that, I cannot see, the beauty 
in my own, and fail to recognize it.

To create poetical magic, I have to dig 
deep into my own reality.
For with that, and that alone, comes truth,
clear as crystalline tea.

I never try to impress wiith words, I shan’t  
use in my daily life.
The words I pen, hopefully, will bring joy
sans clouds of strife.

A comedian on paper, is for witty, poet 
compatriots to be.
All I can write about is wishing humanity
awakens, as I dream by the sea!

Premium Member Red Lipstick

There’s red lipstick
When her legs, dressed in denim, float teasingly through the air, and her soft, gentle hands caress her daily life.
All we see is red lipstick
When she hides secrets behind a subtle, tough leather jacket and her beautifully dressed, warm face smiles.
That glorious red lipstick
Camouflages her deep, seeking blue eyes as she gazes into you and her tender words ignite your thoughts.
Her proud red lipstick
Makes her wicked, sharp laughter carry her irony and her innocent mind screams out curiosity
All the while her dark red lipstick is yelling at the world- see me!
There’s red lipstick.

Premium Member I LOVE A PARADE

We did a lot of waving yesterday at our city’s annual Christmas parade.
We waved at people dressed as chandeliers, at grinches and mermaids.

We waved at dance troops, at bagpipers, at wind lasses (those are women who sail the sea)
We saluted old disabled veterans and young men and women of the new ROTC,

We waved at those throwing candy and beads…we waved at those who made it snow.
We waved to our friends who were in the parade…and so many people we didn’t know.

When the parade was over all we had to do was turn around…
and walk to the Olde Time Christmas celebration being held in our downtown.

It was when we passed Santa surrounded by children…as Christmas music played….
I realized as we walked along it was our turn to parade.

We paraded by the open shops, by our bookstore…by thousands of people celebrating.
We stopped our parade for a moment to watch people in Florida…ice skating!

We paraded by professional singers on a stage listening to their voices soar….
We paraded by a group of children singing…and I’m not sure which ones I enjoyed more.

We paraded by children having their faces painted on our walk through paradise….
and as we paraded by the food stands we stopped for some crab cakes and yellow rice.

We paraded to our golf cart and headed home…calling it a night….
and as we rode along the streets…a parade of Christmas lights.

On my walk this morning I was thinking…what a great parade…
and all the wonders we saw passing by…
When I looked up at the crescent moon as the clouds paraded by.

And I realized…when it comes to parades…I don’t have to wait for Christmas Day…
as I travel through my daily life…I can enjoy parades every day.

Parades of wonders…parades of strangers.. parades of family…and friends…
How lucky to be a part…of a parade that never ends.
