Premium Member Just Stating the Obvious

Clear as black and white, they say,
In Occam’s razor slashing terms,
Exempting endless hues of gray.

Despite spotless reputation,
“The Obvious”, on occasion -
Subject to interpretation.

Findings depend on where we look,
How far we venture to explore
Beyond the cover of the book.

The most erroneous of all -
Character sketch at a quick glance -
An eye assessment of one’s soul.

Through the prism of closed mind’s sight
A premature line is drawn, 
Assuming either black or white.

Unless we deeply delve within
We scratch the surface of what seems,
While substance lies beneath the skin.
 
Hard proven facts one can’t deny,
Nevertheless, each story holds
Second, eye opening blind side.

“Stating the Obvious” I deem,
Unless they're clearly black and white,
Things are not always what they seem.

They're Cute At This Age

subtitled:  The Bolder Boys  (rivals of The Golden Girls)
written for a word bank contest - twenty really weird ones

Two graying seniors with appalling chimera
bantering back and forth - mental meandering. 
Be it mirage or dreams from another era - 
they diminish the other's philandering.

Fanfaronade - from high school boys I would expect
now it re-appears in quite perceptible measures
from our retired magistrate whom I quite suspect
of erroneous accounts of addled pleasures.

While his cohort, an erratic ex-engineer
relates with brazen gibberish his tete a tetes.
At one time more clear and swift of eye and ear,
on blogs they ordain to publish communiqués.

I have found no diffidence which they jeopardize
making harmless though delectable advances, 
Noted but honest attempts to digitize
their forte, their skill in dubious romances.

I offered an honorarium of great size
for the first one who would divest his florid page
of any contentious items - to sanitize.                              .
Gaga girlfriends grin and gush. They're cute at this age.

Premium Member World of Love

Written: November 20, 2023, For Joseph May Contest
          ________________________________________________

How pointless to fight for global friendship.
We scatter sand, catch the wind, and waste life.
We could gain a faint peak or bright red ship.
We slide further as shades withdraw the strife.

Despite our confusion, we hound our quest.
The sound venture perseveres to renew.
Nonetheless, the grave gateway is behest.
We grunt a hive to our shock to pursue. 

Yet whose charitable tide is smoothing?
Is akin to the vast, unknown ocean.
Deep into our souls, your love is soothing.
That would be requesting your direction.

You are being heard, your palm is raised wide.
Who would be keen on an erroneous guide?

Premium Member HEART THAT HONOURS THE LORD FOR HIS COVENANT WITH US

March 1 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Deuteronomy 5-7

Key Verse – Deuteronomy 5:2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

HEART THAT HONOURS THE LORD FOR HIS COVENANT WITH US

Our heart honours the Lord for His covenant with us, so holy
Ever righteous, constraining our souls for true worship sincerely
Never sin-afflicted as it seeks for us to work willingly…
We repent for falling short miserably in not pleasing Him by faith fervently.

Our heart honours the Lord for His covenant with us, so perfect
Ever infallible, worthy of our respect as we prayerfully introspect
Never erroneous because He is the Source of omniscient intellect…
We repent for failing to go where our feet He does direct.

Our heart honours the Lord for His covenant with us, so important
Ever vital, urging our commitment to succeed since we are not resistant
Never irrelevant with regard to eternal aim which is significant…
We repent for undermining His blessings caused by our vanity, worldly dominant.

Our heart honours the Lord for His covenant with us, so profitable
Ever useful, inspiring our spirits in divine tasks’ timetable
Never burdensome since it is graciously bearable…
We repent for complaining about His commands of which we are incapable.

Our heart honours the Lord for His covenant with us, so goodness-filled
Ever satisfying, gladdening our devotion to be joyously thrilled
Never intimidating in subjugating arrogance that’s self-willed…
We repent for finding ourselves against His plan, discontentedly-grilled.

Our heart honours the Lord for His covenant with us, so rewarding
Ever fruitful, increasing our diligence toward plenteous abounding
Never lacking, strengthening our trust upon His Word with understanding…
We repent for struggling in defending His kingdom whenever we are backsliding.

Our heart honours the Lord for His covenant with us, so glorious
Ever marvelous, brightening our future when we are hopelessly delirious
Never gloomy since it assures triumphant success against sins that are notorious…
We repent for serving not with our best, forgetting that He wants us to be victorious.

The Notion

The notion 

I have an idea, but what to do about it?
The problem with ideas they ebb and flow
then disappear into the lake of amnesia.
In life, you can`t escape love and death, its
demise is sure to love is not, it flows in
a river all by itself, the lucky ones get to
bath in it and are blessed.
Often there is an erroneous type of love
it brings sorrow and deceit and the one
sits alone in despair but fail to look at
the truth, the river doesn`t wait.
We learn as we live and go on trying
one day it happens where we have not
looked this time it is real.
What about your idea? What idea?

Cruel fate nixed our sites set for buying a hoagie

Cruel fate nixed our sites set for buying a hoagie

Yours truly and the wife
tended to some errands,
which included going
to the Limerick,
Pennsylvania Citizens Bank
for me to rectify
an erroneous address
indicating I Matthew Harris
purportedly and presently domiciled at:
96 West Miner Street
(and whereinthehellis)
Coaldale, Pennsylvania
18218-1017
which address listed after viewing
online banking screen
indicating Good morning,
afternoon or evening,
then scrolling down
to sought after preference selecting
either checking or savings account
then clicking on View
Statements in Document Center
subsequently choosing
timeframe, account and type),
while the spouse 
patiently waited in a hot car,
(slightly more comfortable 
than a cat on a hot tin roof)
then going to ALDI'S, GIANT
(the latter place
to dump off paper for recycling
and making a beeline to purchase items
in the clearance section),
felt sorely disappointed,
when a series of unfortunate events
(even Lemony Snicket 
would have been dumbfounded)
occurred when earlier today
and last least on the agenda
found me headed
at the Royersford, Pennsylvania Wawa
for what I envisioned being
a mouthwatering (yellow) "submarine"
or just "sub" the general term
for both the bread roll and sandwiches
made with it in both the USA
and other English speaking nations
and lastly Wawa
right there in Royersford
felt jinxed cause we
(hungry enough to eat a horse),
could not purchase
(what both of us imagined to be)
our delectable aforementioned sandwiches
which DID NOT 
find me being thee unsung hero
(regarding a damsel in distress) 
actually courtesy using the EBT
(electronic benefits transfer)
SNAP food card declined part of the sale,
nor could I access (withdraw) funds
using a recently issued debit card
farcical indicating expiration date,
when the spouse gave me a dour
facial recognition expression 
(and she feigned pouting like a child),
cause her husband
could not head back to the house
at Pooh Corner
with aforementioned treasured commestible
already finding us salivating
like Pavlov's dog,
which dude (who looks like a lady, 
with sweet emotion, 
especially after washing 
and drying my hair) came back 
to the car empty handed.

Kissing Without Hugging

Kissing feels tender, a disguise for the horde,
Horde murmurs compliment, their voices very showy,
Showy rings of consent, heavy inside,
Inside the stillness, factual hotness must skin.

Skin the cuddle, keep space in prospect,
Prospect of love trimmed down to courteous,
Courteous shrugs remain, but craving is departed,
Departed remains the hug where affection once excelled.

Excelled like a blaze, now dimmed to a kiss,
Kiss without arms leaves something erroneous,
Erroneous seems the heart that shrinks to appear,
Appear stout outside, but feeble when adjacent.


Poem by N. Mugisho

Premium Member No Fool Any More

When the sky crashes down onto your weary soul remember

	It’s a lot of thin air and you are never closer to nutritious clouds


When your world falls into a hole of paramount proportions

	Consider being down to earth and adjacent to togetherness


When shadows cast emptiness and freeze dried revelations

	Appraise the shade approach contours of opaque silhouettes


When rainbows hallucinate your vision review erroneous projections

	Embrace your doubts and dreams as you settle for the night


You are the Sky the World the Sun and Moon the wise old Jester

	And if you wish to be the Shadow of your Rainbow

Premium Member Sing of Joyous Stability




     Sing of joyous stability!
     Dash all fear to the floor.
     Or, if you do not do this,
     You'll run masked, out the 
     front door.
     Wondering, if by the virus 
     you will be caught.
     Watching erroneous, evil 
     covid numbers,
     In hopelessness, for naught!
     It's time to really live again!
     Get out, dance, sing, shout.
     You are young and healthy.
     But a TV, tells you, you are not?
     The world is painted all black,
     We are made into fearful goons.
     Let go the fear, live all  your
     dreams.
     Only God knows when you are
     going, and it is anything but soon!
