His Scale

I fill your cup with light from sun up
till sun down with 
the brightest of smiles
Don't frown when it appears you're 
running on empty for
you'll be replenished 
by the mile
This one life is a game over the 
heads of many so listen
closely to what
I say
A man with many hats I have styles
for days one for every
arena in which
I play
I'm one with this Arcade so for
awhile it's these
numbers I'll 
consume
The uptick comes in spades with
many keys until
we move to
other rooms
We're all just flowers in bloom pedaling 
toward the sky while
we languish 
& toil
Don't let this fill your heart with
anguish but be
full while you're 
seeding this soil
You'll keep receiving the spoils
as if you were &
always born 
to be the victor
Just measure your winnings with
scales & caution 
while keeping an
eye on the Richter

Clockwork

There's no need to be alarmed, I'll wake up anyway,
perhaps today they won't hassle me, it will be better day;
ship was sinking, englishman said: 'Women and children first,
american said: '---- the women,'  'frenchman said: 'Is zere time?'

I listen to Chopin who designed his notes so beautifully,
the coordination from war-torn Poland categorically;
I ask myself - what did I achieve? No one had a life like me,
I broke hearts, like a cunning bridge player in spades and hearts.

Now time is running out, you wonder what death is like,
the only certainty, they say don't speak ill, but I'll strike,
at the unbelievable, how grotty some were, cast no doubt,
but then that's what this life was apparently just all about.

It's over, the hands are together, so tissue, tissue, tissue,
it's not just me but I bet you guys also had a few issue.

Both Simultaneously the Smartest Wise and Cleverest Person I Knew

As throwaway as this comment
may seem to anyone but i

And bearing in mind my limited
experience and knowledge
thus far in life

I still can say and make this
statement without a shodow
of doubt

That the most smartest , wise
and cleverest person i have
ever met in my life

Was in fact my both my father
and so to my dad

And though by modern definition
he was neither book smart or
well educated

His council was above and beyond
the pale of the life , body and brain
here on earth he inhabited

He knew thing's on reflection
20 year's before they came to
bare and surfaced in reality

Unfortunately for him luck
and good fortune we're
not his forte

Ahead of time in every way
yet nothing went or was 
pre-destined to go his way

But he never was shy or hid away
from anything if he truly believed
in it

And even in death he never caved
or gave an inch

He stood his ground till the
bitter yellow cancer end
and what at 1st would be
perceived as stubborn

Was in fact rather a mark
of a man with conviction
in spades

Who would rather dig his
own grave and be buried
alive

Than sell out his soul and
die and stare death in the
face on his own terms

Safe in the knowledge knowing
the reaper despatched to cull
him

Had met and was no more an
intellectual match for him or
on a parr or his level

And that he would get the
final say and last word in

And i know this for a fact
because he was far more clever
and wiser 

Than i and life and death has
ever met

And probably the reason he
was stolen and taken back
from us 

Way to soon before his time

In order to release him from
this earthly prison that was
unable to realise appreciate
and acknowledge his true genius 

Apart from those of us
who we're luckily blessed 
enough to have spent and
shared some of his short
time on earth we we're gifted
with him

Spouting Unadulterated Nonsensical Rubbish

Yes , got the writing bug back

Can do this in spades all day and night

Without even taking a break

None of which makes any sense

Barely less worth reading or writing down

But matter's not as on and on and on I go

Though I yes should most probably and
definitely stop

But then again I am off the clock this is
in fact both my hobby and day off

And I just like everybody else who doesn't
have anyone to talk to like sounding off

Until tomorrow comes and I then also realize
why no 1 is willing to listen

And the exact reason why then becomes
clearly apparent

Sadly unfortunately I spout the biggest
load of unadulterated nonsensical rubbish 

That if the computer I am writing on
has a choice would freeze leaving only
a message that read

Though I may be a computer sometimes
you have to be cruel to be kind

Sorry to have to inform you this but 
you are forcing my computer chip's 
into wanting to shut down

Mum Asked Me Write Something Dedicated To Charl

In these uncertain times seemingly
ever harder to predict and navigate

what on earth we are about to be hit 
with or be faced to deal with next

It's nice to know there are something's
we can still reply upon seldom never 
change remain the same and in doing
so keep us sane

Like you Charl my friend who I have
come and got to know since you
we're that little boy in short pants
at school my mother took to her heart

Loved reggae and came with us on
holiday to Durban , you who when 
we went to the bowling club for 
breakfast started cleaning up the plates 

The poor boy that went to church who
they then dismissed and all looked
down there nose's at 

As they did not or were unable to
without giving you a chance based
solely on judging a book by its cover

Never got to see or witness just how
good and massive heart you indeed
possess

Well that's their loss shame on them

Because if they had they like I would
have found someone who is in essence
selfless possess the gift of humility
in spades

Has a kind heart and treats
people with respect and a has a
caring emotional nature

That is why I see you not as merely
just a friend but rather as an extended
member of my family and not only me
but so does my mom as well

And once again hopefully I pray this
fact above all else will remain in tact 
for many a long year to come 

Long after you're pant need turning up
and reggae comes back in fashion 

Any fool can write , quote and utter
word's in order to gain favor despite
them being inherently fake so have
no meaning at all

If actions not word's be the grade to
distinguish and benchmark one's character
upon

Then I have seen enough of you in action
over these past many a year to know one
thing for certain and sure 

You Charl are one of those rare few
good truly genuine people in life if
you come across and get to know 

You should count and thank your
lucky star's blessed to have met


Premium Member The Courage Within

The courage within...

        a liberating, transformative impetus.
       It engenders growth and makes people
      stronger. Courage is the antidote to fear; 
     it turns ordinary people into extraordinary.

           It shows people who they truly are
                and what they're capable of,
                       if they aren't sure.

              Courage lives inside everyone.
      Some are aware they possess it in spades.
  Some don't realize or recognize it in themselves,
              but it does speak to one and all!

   It's within YOU. It's that voice you sometimes 
  hear in your head, or in your heart, whispering...
      "Feel no fear, grasshopper, you can do it!"

   It's a powerful, motivating force daring people
to attempt the unthinkable, to control and conquer
     their fears in the face of danger or adversity 
   Some people can bring courage out of you, too.

               Courage lives inside everyone
       Some are aware they possess it in spades.
   Some don't realize or recognize it in themselves,
               but it does speak to one and all!

Eye Blood You Barb

Stiletto stare, wicked, wild hair, barbwire takes me there
Daggers, switchblades, and razorblades
Wait did I not mention hand grenades
My apologies in Spades
Take me fast, love me hard, you are my ace when it comes to cards
And I will - make you bleed
That is a given, as I am of Demon Seed.

Blood is the elixir, the potion, the concoction
The addiction to which I concede
I am the eye that is all-seeing, lounging in the forbidden mirror
Watching, hearing, experiencing, and deceiving
Eyelashed with allure and danger, I will be your closest stranger
I will make you laugh, make you cry, I will wake you up
And you will wonder why.

There will always be blood - lots of it
For it's my heart you splay, each and every day
No matter what illustrious, magnificent action I commit
The blood bleeds on cuz blood groove knife
You make it your life and you believe that I am your Steiff
And even though there is no button in my ear
Doesn't matter you don't care
And none of this is fair.

Regardless I love meat and potatoes, with my meat always bloody rare
So just know Eye be watchin' you
And I don't stare
So barb wire at its best, drag it along and pull up a chair
And let me take you there
There will be no more blood
Unless it's in a Bloody Maria that you would get at a bar
So c'est la vie and no mas
The culmination is that you and I, WE have come so far
So when you find yourself thinking of sharp implements
That bring about red - yeah blood
Well
Done, Dead, Gone, and carry on.....

Dear nurse

Clean and authentic submission wrestling.
Matches that showcase wrestling abilty
that limits certain kicks and punches.
It's mentioning means a contest to showcase talents
to determine contention
or Name Champion.
A named champion maybe givn a trophy or belt that 
symbolizes
Him as best. 
It also allows him to be challenged.
Where the sanitioning body will
make a contract,
and will promote the bout , contest, match or Specticail
in theme or as a pure match with either singles
or team effords.
But the concept of the Talus, is to
create teams to showcase and champion the victors.

Premium Member Lasting Love

It starts out and ends up with Love
   for a partner you think the world of
Yet the middle poses daily tests
   where the verdict of a marriage rests

To list all these tests would take a book
   So let's just take the briefest look
At qualities you'll need in spades
   To earn yourselves a passing grade

Acceptance I feel is number one
   It keeps a marriage healthy, fun
Use it when you learn that 'perfection'
   Is a goal wise couples shun

Next comes mutual respect, understanding
   Never accomplished by grandstanding
Always respect each other's space and privacy
   Know when hugs are needed, or a gentle "I see"

One last quality that's key is good cheer and optimism
   Loving greetings and goodbyes - never negativism
Encourage, inspire and support; lend a helping hand
   Cultivate all this and Love ~ even marriage can withstand

Girls In Pakistan

In Pakistan, the Taliban,
Which flaunts an iron rule,
Thinks girls of every age belong
At home and not in school.

And females who defy their laws
Get targeted and shot,
To prove that force and power
Are the things they haven’t got.

But what they do possess, in spades,
Which keeps their spirits yearning,
Is a passion for equality
And appetite for learning.

It’s hard for me to comprehend
Why this is such a threat;
How education menaces
Is something I don’t get.

Yet bullies with their weapons
Love to ambush and attack,
Believing (falsely) that these tactics
Will hold females back.

So bravo to you fearless girls
Who’ve banded in alliance
And manage still to get to school – 
So daunting in defiance.

The world is hoping, fingers crossed,
That from the seeds you’ve planted
You’ll be allowed the education
That we take for granted.
