Drive mindfully, dear children, as you traverse hurdled highways of life,
Cognizant that adjacent to an oasis of joy, lies a desert brooding strife;
Assume charge of your chosen path, obey rules of road as you ride,
Pursuing life’s aspirations you vie, with compass of mind as your guide.
Beware things luring you with glitter, may be just metal, feigning gold,
Love superficial, love that is shallow, never the love for you to behold;
Don’t let a mirage~ a spurious illusion~ become an aspiration of hope,
Life, a vast ocean, as it ebbs and flows, learn to navigate, strive to cope.
As shrouds and clouds obscure life, seek enlightenment to wear a smile,
Defy encroachment of grimace, defy the vibes that cramp your style;
Embrace blissed domain of empathy, proffering missives angelic, kind,
Yield to others, who are lost, show them the egress destiny designed.
Build your abode on pillars of morals, revering honesty, and trust,
For they are the hallmarks of people, respectable, equitable, just;
Mind your paradigms and proverbs, practice always what you say,
Extend genuine gestures of regret, when actions have gone astray.
Be grateful for family and friends, honor them in prayers of heart,
Create keepsake albums of memories, life-scapes endearing impart;
For they are the priceless treasures of love, omnipresent lifelong,
Inspiring, nurturing you, reassuring all along~ love can do no wrong.
Nocturnal
Dismiss my harbingers of dread to flight
Banish all foes, old hallmarks of fretting, fraught, despair
I will shutter away those loathsome ghouls from sight
I will rob the keepers of the night
Those winds that circle wild in restless air
Dismiss my harbingers of dread to flight
When anxious thoughts arise to wage the fight
with tangled webs, they weave a viscid snare
I will shutter away those loathsome ghouls from sight
I flex my weary wings, against the morning light
Ignore the mocking of my hallowed fear
Dismiss my harbingers of dread to flight
The night is long, the darkness grip holds tight
and keeps the axis of the world a tilted sphere
I will shutter away those loathsome ghouls from sight
Oh bless sweet sleep, you welcomed, winsome sprite!
When last you bring my dreams to slumbered fair
Dismiss my harbingers of dread to flight
I will shutter away those loathsome ghouls from sight
Thunderous fighter birds,
loud torrential explosives,
blood thirsty Kalashnikovs,
monstrous and destructive tanks,
bloodshed by the river banks,
numerous catacombs interred,
dismembered bodies
on landscapes littered.
Vengeful hearts embittered,
countless tragedies,
misery corrodes like corrosives,
lawlessness without caution,
insanity without option,
hell is incessantly let loose,
for safety you may never choose.
Men of beastly testosterone
on vulnerable women predate.
Bastards are pervasively birthed;
the seed of hate and discord is sown.
Each course is decided by fate,
essentials are ravaged by dearth,
refugees to distant lands take flight,
as they hope that peace will be in sight.
Oh that men will cease to wage war!
Oh that men will peace adore!
The shepherd doth provide for my true needs,
And stills the waters, watches while I rest.
All to His glory, I go where he leads;
Refreshed my soul, for his right way is best.
Tho' shadows loom, death's stench engulfs the air,
Or evil's presence close enough to taste,
Corrected, guided, safely in his care,
My journey easy; there's no need for haste.
He thwarts my foes, their plans awash, disjoint,
He taunts them, lets me breathe deep while I eat.
A servant host, His oil my head anoints.
My cup, past full, my joy in Him complete.
His mercy, goodness: hallmarks of sweet days,
Eternal, in His presence, voicing praise.
Each of us is unique and has our own STORY.
I was never meant to be you, nor you to be ME.
Sometimes, the real you and me is what we want
Least for others to SEE. Being one's self is the closest
pathway to being FREE. But it's as if we are protecting
Ourselves from a stinging BEE. It's as if someone at the
Proper time forgot to give us the KEY; that key designed
To unlock the inner workings of our hearts and MENTALITY.
One would think it to be one of the hallmarks of CHRISTIANITY.
If that is the case, we must work harder in the pursuit of TRANPARENCY.
Perhaps time and maturity will show us the roadway to our DESTINY.
Perhaps our journey will UNFOLD the SCROLL before we become HISTORY.

**ICE CREAM SUMMER NIGHT**
Let’s go barefoot, when the stars come out tonight.
Sidewalks and streets, still warm from the sun’s delight.
Stop fretting, the sidewalks are really clean.....
Don’t forget, they are our natural grounding machine!
Look at all the cats, looking up at the full moon.
Whatever,are they thinking_I ponder the city of Rangoon!
I am starting to drool for raspberry toppings atop of vanilla!
Can I lick your caramel one, I know how it soothes ya!
Peace, serenity, joy are hallmarks of our town.
Existing here,well....impossibly hard to get down.
The cerulean light rays, peek at us from stars above.
Where everyday and night, we celebrate our blessed love!

Cold blue tile is the foundation from which two children build their world.
This airport has seen thousands upon thousands of feet touching its ground,
but their travel-weary weight is erased
as toddlers run, screaming joyfully, over top.
Laughter bubbles from their tiny pink lips,
and I find I can’t help but join in.
Snow-blond hair and a green dino hoodie.
These are the hallmarks of those who herald cheer into the world,
though they’re not yet conscious of anything but their next step forward.
Hold tight to your vibrant visions of castles and ships for as long as you can, little ones.
Your light is precious. May it not be fleeting.
Though predictability prevails
pertaining to my life,
nonetheless a pronounceable zeal
bestirred from writing,
and reading (no surprise),
which literary leaning, inspiring,
fueling cognitive pastimes
elicit unending appeasement
within mine private weal
without doubt (I intimate), and
predicated on an
adequately comprehensible, hypothetical
sampling of the population,
would probably accurately concur,
that hallmarks majority of
quotidian, weekly, monthly...activities
would NOT re: veil
dramatic seat of
the pants, nail biting, unreal
high wire, death
defying ironic steel
lee cliff hanging,
bare knuckle adventure squeal,
ling small hairs some deal
of the spine raising goosebumps,
sky diving with
out a parachute,
intercourse without a condom,
et cetera gasping
for breath, before sidereal
red giant stage
obliterates flora and fauna doth seal
verdict - case closed,
and legitimate reason to repeal,
thus this sketchy
pictured exhibition sedentary
cerebral efforts for real
marginally quiet natured unvaried
repertoire applying
thee measure piecemeal
asper wilderness trekking, exotic
excursions globe trotting,
(sans criteria as well spent
purpose driven existence),
mine unmasked,
minimalistic patrilineal
lovely bare bones (hollow winning)
by thee above arbitrary fictitious ordeal
figuratively hypothetical measures,
this generic guy, viz zero
less exciting even eating oatmeal
as resultant measurement,
cuz his feeble minuscule variation,
thinner than lean gruel
would NOT even
constitute living, ideal
as...a fly, thus accept this message
as plea whisking me
cerulean heights ethereal!
Coming Back Home
Called home my nomadic heart yearns to unpack scattered shadows,
Ornaments of new year snowstorms and souvenirs of summer places,
Mirrors found in attic reflections - hallmarks of nostalgia,
Image refractions of mirages battered milestones -
Nests of hidden pleas and prayers in locked trunks -
Garlands of tangled seasons and dried bouquets.
Blue winds embrace Orion’s pirouette on mountain points
As abandoned minutes surrender in reunion to
Call back identities shed like out grown skin,
Kindle roaring beasts - fire storm’s passions swooping down.
Home awaiting unspoken future days when trying on again
Outgrown masks of jeopardy discarded, seeking crannies of warm hearths,
Making room for nascent triumphs to tickle laughter no longer stooping
Even as my nomad heart wanders only to return in primal circles.

ERICKA
Acrostic
E...nergetic, enthusiastic, lovely and humble
Hallmarks of beauty and distinction
Of a woman worthy of admiration
The fulfillment of " his" dreams and aspirations.
R...eplica of Aphrodite, a goddess of beauty
A bright star that glitters and lits the sky so pretty
Sound of music that makes " his " heart so happy
An inspiration to fulfill " his " God-given duty.
I....ncessant, and unconditional love bound your hearts
Brave the weather, the road is difficult and arduous
Never sacrilege and to one another depart
So in the altar of matrimony, someday, be entwined.
C..harm that fascinates, allures and captivates
Enthralled the heart of the man you deeply love
Maintain the probity, dignity and sincerity
Patience too, for this is a virtue of a woman in the Ministry.
K..udos, for all the victories you have achieved
The fruits of your labors and sacrifices
“ Beyond the mountains of hardship
Lies indeed the valley of success ”
A…dage is written in the heart of men
A good wife is a good mother as well
A good leader and a good teacher
Ericka, welcome to the Ministry.
