Premium Member In the Eye of the Beholder

When I sit and watch TV I am bombarded by perfection…
Everybody has bright white teeth and a silky smooth complexion.

They live in enormous houses in the country or by the shore
all decorated by the finest designers in luxurious decors.

They drive cars with foreign names meant to thrill, amaze…astound
and when not behind the wheel they have a chauffeur who drives them all around.

But when the show is over I look around and always smile at what I see
knowing my life does not quite match the one on my TV

When I look into my mirror I often have to pause
because the body and complexion I see…have their share of flaws..

The house Deborah and I live in has never given us reason to complain
even though the laundry room remains unfinished and our street floods in the rain.

Our car is nice but is not the kind that will easily astound…
and there is no chauffeur waiting…who will drive us both around…

But I’ve come to realize something about perfection as I’ve grown a little older
Perfection, a lot like beauty, lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Yesterday we had lunch with some of our grandchildren and once again I was shown
despite its imperfections…how splendid my life has grown.

Like all families we’ve had our ups and downs…
as our family constantly transforms…
But together we have ridden those highs and weathered every storm.

For the most part everyone in our family is happy
For the most part we are healthy…
As I sat with our grandchildren yesterday I had to wonder…
How did I get so wealthy?

My life might not be TV perfect…but….I am happy to admit
my real world life is perfect…at least from where I sit.

The Perfectionist

Chosen to be a perfectionist

all things in order

not out of order

the pantry is orderly

the shelves are amazing

the dishes are placed

neatly arranged with a homemade cake

perfectly amongst the race

clean clean clean away

no time wasted, non-worried faces

this is right, that is wrong

a perfect home

If it means being alone

straighten out items, neatness all around

when leaving, must come back to the cleanness

orderly you see, nothing is thrown around

If it is, you have to get down

seemed perfect in all that was done

the atmosphere is right

each day and night

shoes come off at the door

sinks are wiped down after repeated usage

no time for disorderly, nor items misplaced

a  day to relax, some days are amazing

the perfectionist, having some patience

what a view being seen

overall, it's clean clean clean

neatness in appearance

nothing out of line

even the clock on the wall

cannot be the wrong time

a picture that is crooked

has to be straighten

don't keep them waiting

Some things are not outdated

not a lent on the floor

that cannot definitely be ignored

a life with the perfectionist

as time definitely goes by

sometimes asking, why? why? why?

the dinner invite, extended settings

just a piece of the delicious apple pie

the hand slightly was hit twice

barely hurt, a smile with love

no, not now, that is the dessert

just wait for the appetizers, the entrees

fancy elegant dinner plates are placed

gold silverware, decors, red flowers, and more

the table is so extraordinary

the view is so nice

the room is full of peace, love, and joy

If you're messy, you might not be invited anymore

oh well, the day has gone

all family, friends, and others went home

until the holidays come again

invitations are amongst limited

maybe next time the host will be the guest

and all, figuring out the rest.



The perfectionist.

Note:   
Sometimes a perfectionist will change some guidelines.
Faith, Prayers. Jesus. Grace.

Can this be me? You?
orderly, clean, & neat.

Some people have said that cleaning can be mind relaxing. Also, a form of exercise because you're always moving. After the results, you can see the finishing. 
An atmosphere that is suitable to live in.

265 My 43rd Leaf

265.

My 43rd Leaf



Removed thee from tree

It's sturdy and tall

I think not native

Looks familiar but

Do not know its name



By the Trappist monks

Who live by in there

Or just a planter

Folk or foreigner

Don't know who planted



About to enter

The souvenir shop

Where we bought some goods

About 3 o'clock

On way to the wharf



Just in front the shop

Selling souvenirs

Foods and rosaries

Decors and softdrinks

A monastery



On field trip again

But first time in there

With Crim. 2 students

A new experience

That I should treasure!

Premium Member club philosophy

I don’t usually talk about a club, in the club
but last night I was chattering breathlessly, at midnight,
about how right the club had gotten its atmosphere. 
I’m never quite sure, design-wise, what’s ‘now’ and what’s retro nuance.

My bf Peter said the design was “Warholism,” whatever THAT is.
I gave him a puzzled look and he said. “The Factory?” Like that meant something. 
Why is he so much smarter than me?  It’s unjust.

Lets wax poetically..

The drinks were priced like artifacts 
but we ordered them like essentials.

A club is a machine calibrated for pleasure.
Similar to real life, but with much better lighting
plus their decors are tuned to optimistic escapism.

Last night’s club, was all chrome and blue light
making us feel like we were on a spaceflight

Clubs hit escape velocity around midnight
when everyone’s having their own garish moment
- crowds roll in on the vibe, and things warm up.

When moving on the floor started to feel like work
we escaped the ordinary for the cooler mezzanine 

We arrived as our drinks were being freshened up
I tip well and they’re happy to manage my money

It was a good thing. Our generation doesn’t know 
how to wait without looking like we’re waiting.

BTW: Don’t you LOVE anti-spiking drink covers?!    #justbrilliant 

ok, now it’s Saturday morning

My head is pounding, as if someone were striking it, 
every thirty seconds or so, with a timpani malot.

“That was the LAST time..” I moan, but I was being ironic.
I know it’s not true, Peter knows it’s not true, I know, he knows, 
I know it’s not true - but he gets my meaning - that’s irony.

Peter never seems to have a hangover and at times it pisses me off. 
“How do you feel,” I ask him in my smallest voice - lest I awake the timpanist.
“Fine,” he says, with an enjoyable sense of righteousness.
He sips his coffee as if he has not a care. 
“You’re only fine because your head is empty,” I lash out in a whisper.

Spring Is In the Air

Air smelling lavender lily, in splash of wild flowers.
Bowers of rustic rosebuds, first love fragrance hours.
Cloudless skies exalt blue, fuzzed in luscious green.
Daffodils of yellow beams, bloom with night jasmine. 
Ephemeral path of blue birds, sync butterflies scarlet,
Fancy rejoice of dalliance, in pink and purple  banquet. 
Gardens cloister colored valleys , petals  in avalanche
Hyacinth perfumed sunshine, glossy blossoms branch.
In transit, cold greets summer, change of fresh attire,
Juvenile mind that's young, feels like flying higher.
Kisses stolen in gentle flirts, flowing streams of nectar, 
Love sings joy and dance, in promise of new laughter.
Magical burst of smiling buds, re-sprout hidden hope,
Notes of mirth in dulcet , birds weave nest to cope.
Orange foliage sets fire, as decors of art unveil.
 Primrose bedecked palanquins , sway in royal gale,
Queen of nature rides in beauty, crocuses in thicket. 
Resurrected winter mist,..in green life, all succulent.
Sonnets, ballads, songs, gallery of dream for ages
Timeless glory of beauty in painter and poet pages
Up from a pastel sky, nymphs walk down filigree paths
Valentine day's just gone, the season of love  to last
Wild cherry blossoms of silk,  greet in a pink hello 
Xylophone notes chant in a stream of music flow.
Young lovers gyrate... in a romantic love affair
Zephyr wind throws a hug,...Spring is in the air.

Magnum Opus

Pieces of glass shattered on the wooden floor
I maim my pointed finger; it bleeds and runs into my broken door.  

Grief is timeless as it seems, 
How evergreen to sculpture happiness in my dreams?

I’m beautifully made but devastatingly asking,
“What keeps you awake and keep on going?”

Life is an art that is crafted under a long process
They say it’s worthy to endure; just like how everyone else.

“You need to find hope in your disappointments and failures”
As nonchalant as mosaic, there’s beauty in life’s curvatures.

“Your insecurity is like a fake brush that loses your colors to paint”
Look how splendor the love and support around; need them to acquaint.

Just keep on going is what will keep me going.
For as long as I know that this beautiful life will keep me flowing.

Soon to be draped inside the room where decors and schemes are pretty simple,
I will be the masterpiece; a work of art that outstands like a steeple.

Grave of Nature Lover

Don't lay the plucked flowers on my grave
for,I am not at all alive to crave
I don't want my name to be engraved
for,it had long since been waived

Stack the colorful flower pots on all corners
Sow some grass seeds round the borders
Also plant the flowering green creepers
Let them adorn the place as decors

May the flowers smile throughout the years
and let timbre of smiling flowers reach the ears
of the dancing butterflies and let them appear
and gracefully dance with full of cheers

On the center of the grave, fix a big bird feeder,
may it enthrall the blabbers and baya weavers
Also dig a small pond that is about ten meter
and fill in the pond with crystal clear water
Let it be used as the ultimate thirst quencher,
quenching innocents thirst and there's nothing better.

No need of tombstone and epitaph to honor
My grave shouldn't be a place of horror
Listening to the nature's songs at my place
my soul will ever rest in peace

What It Really Is

Houses filled with gleaming decors,
Lights are twinkling as the carols we're singing,
There are people dancing while others are cheering,
Everyone's at joy,celebrating the birth of the king,

I've heard a loud crash,
loud enough to make my heart pound,
But not enough to make to the celebration stop,
Not enough for the loud crash to be given  a while,

The joy continues for they say,"It was the birth of the king"
The sound goes louder as my heart keeps pounding,
Lights are still twinkling with the carols singing,
I hope the celebration was still for the king,

I step out of the crowd trying to find some peace,
And I was shocked,It wasn't the peace that I found,
What I found we're people trying to save their houses,
Throwing pales of water while their tears are running,

I witness the fire but can do nothing but to cry,
I feel the heat who burned-out number of houses,
I even hear the young girls' cry,
With my heart broken I try to give it a while and listen as she cry,

As I was listening I noticed she's not crying,
She's singing!
The little girl is singing,
"Saylenay,olenay,oliskay,olisbray"

The little girl whose house we're burnt by fire,
 truly knows for whom the celebration was,
The little girl singing,"Silent Night,Holy Night,All is bright" 
and not those  who join the crowd truly knows what Christmas really is.

Fauna's lost and found

(Google cecil lion murder)
Some satanic soul committed awful regicide
Of Cecil, prided King of the Jungle
And that has left behind his bereaved pride
And his offspring in bloody danger
For Cecil the royal majesty of the Game reserve
Has been the victim of crazy murder!

 Round the world poaching goes on.
To purses of leather
one lost its skin
One lost its feather
to hats and decors
Another lost its fur
to those mink coats
One lost its tooth
to ivory bangles gosh!

Many lost their lives
to heartless hunters
Not only are they
on animal property encroaching
They are selfishly and greedily
also poaching
Alas! Alas! Alas!
Woe to that cut throat
fine and fancy fur coat
They lost it all to ruthless
merciless, thoughtless poachers
And even if this lost was found later
and confiscated by officers
Still how do you restore
this lost and found
to their rightful owners?
How do you return
 a severed tusk to the elephant?
Fur to the lynx cat?
Skinned skins to the python?
Or ripped feathers to the peacock?
And how do you restore life
to the poor dead fauna
As long as poaching is rife
Relax not in beach or sauna.

Peep at them through binoculars
instead of through guns
Shoot 'em' with cameras
instead of weapons
O' hunters shun hunting
with darned shotguns!

Kit Kat

SHE'S ON HER WAY OUT 

 Little by little he takes down our tree 
 it was a magical place here for a while 
 now every bauble and light begins to plea 
 please bring me back next year with style 

 Little by little, Christmas season waves goodbye 
 down comes the decors, a New Year is on the fly
 Its time to collect dreams hopes and promises 
 and bring them to the winds of a whimsical kiss 

 Little by little I see life like a Kit Kat Rowntree 
 and yes you eat the butter and skim the ghee 
 this year, make a promise you can keep 
 laugh much cry less, take love to the deep , 

Happy New Year Everyone !
