Libra

A queen was born on this special day Hardworking with ambitious 
Independent strong and very highly motivated 
She is someone that is for sure prestigious 
In her own words she can't be predicted 

Happy-go-lucky with a sprinkle of craziness 
Gentle to the touch gracious and all around graceful 
For her presence in my bubble is the coziest 
She's like cheerful daisy the symbolism of April 

My addiction one that's more dangerous than any drug
I labeled her as my most priceless treasure 
A miracle that's been searching for but never found 
My guardian angel whom which I'll take measures to be with forever 


If you were to be a chapter in any story you'll be the prologue and epilogue 
For everything begins and end with you 



                                                               4LF??

Premium Member All Lanimals Are Special

I wrote a poem praising dogs yesterday …and many people agreed
But apparently the cats and birds and frogs weren’t happy.
Who knew they could read!

The frog was first to chime in…saying my poetry made him wince
If you kiss a dog, he said indignantly, will he turn into a prince?

Do dogs kill insects every day so they do not run amok?
Are dogs a symbol of fertility in Egypt or do they bring Japan good luck?

The bird was next to criticize…she asked…does a dog have wings?
Can a dog fly to the top of a tree?  Can it glide on the wind…or sing?

Does a dog’s singing help you think of love or beauty and how about romance?
Can a dog help control mosquitos…or pollinate some plants?

Finally a cat phoned me…isn’t it just like a cat to call.
She was angry we had the nerve to compare a cat to a dog at all!

“Cat’s are much more independent.” she said. I think I heard bitterness in her inflection.
“And although cat’s don’t need it from you humans…we put up with your affection.”

“Cats will never learn a silly trick…the kind that dogs are taught…
If you think that dogs are smarter than cats…think again…they’re not!”

After listening to their arguments
(No more animals contact me…please!)
I understand all animals…have their own specialties…

And I end this poem a different person
who understands every animal…every cat and bird and frog
should be proud of their accomplishments
and stand together with the dog….

The dog is certainly no more special than the rest.
I’m speaking now as a diplomat.
(By the way…in case you’re wondering
It was the cat who made me say that.)

Grow

Reluctant to stay in the same place I'm in today
A year from now
   See I wanna grow like an oak tree
   Providing shade to lay in
   Depending on know one trying to stay independent
Of outside interference
   Intended to take me back
To a place of darkness
To a place we're I thought less
   Depending on everyone didn't wanna know
Success
   So today I can say I have truly been blessed
Now my only mission from day to day is
   Success
See when I thought less I was on a road of
   Destruction
Started to think more
   And put my life under reconstruction
Life gotta way of teaching you things
  You can't learn in class
Move slow now 
Not trying to let life take me fast
   See I was once without cars or cash
Had to earn everything I got in the process of
Becoming a man
   Reluctant to stay in the same place I'm in today
A year from now
   See I wanna grow tall like an oak 
Creating shade
   To
Lay in

Premium Member My Journey

 
My journey is one of balance and harmony,
I am a water metaphor that adapts its shape;
always flowing, yielding, softly and quietly,
but strong enough to cut into rock and reshape.

I chose a way to nature and contemplation,
to create my inner sanctuary;
an open gate, a secret garden creation,
a place where all turmoil I can bury.

I am on my own unique beautiful journey,
where I can let go of time and slow down;
with moderation in all things and no need to hurry;
and be independent as a star shining alone.

Who Am I

I am dependent but i need to be independent.
I wonder will I be what i need to be? 
I hear nothing though the weed is whispering
I see birds struggling to fly, the weed is to strong 
I want harmony,love and inspiration.

I am dependent but i need to be independent
I pretend not top care
I feel the earth in the palm of my hand
I touch the souls of those who care and don't 
I cry because i feel for you and me. 

I am dependent but i need to be independent 
I understand i am who i am 
I say i am unique 
I dream nothing, i wish for something 
I try to dream though its not easy 
I hope i may be able to dream 
I am dependent but i need to be independent.

Premium Member Going Fourth Into July

There is something in the air 
Reflecting on freedom’s one day scare 
Signing a declaration we want to be on our own 
Handful self-proclaimed leaders setting a tone 
It was John Hancock first holding the pen 
Scripted it so large ‘an idea that needed to defend’ 
Thirteen colonies united together 
In writing the royal a letter 
Through the next few years
Muskets firing heard by many ears  
A revolution between tea and beers 
Bells would ring 
Celebrating separation from the King 
Redcoat’s egos taken down 
By battling farmers who knew the ground 
It was all a ‘pride show’ 
For the stiff upper lip British you know 
Better thinking said ‘let the new world grow’ 
Today we are in a bind 
An invisible army giving the globe a hard time 
Take this as an opportunity knocking 
Tell Betsy Ross in her chair 'keep on rocking' 
Striped bars 
States as stars 
In a field colored blue 
An artistic message waving cool 
Some of us do not agree 
And the results make us stronger you will see 
No one can control all fifty 
Not even a virus that is shifty 
Wear a mask or don’t 
It’s your vote 
Since in the end 
You will know where to send 
A message challenging the Franklin in Ben 
“How much does this cost?” 
“Is our boss reality at a loss?” 
“Is a square cubicle your life? 
Or is the husband maybe a wife” 
Writing is a powerful art 
Peaceful at its original start 
If a reader walks away 
Getting more knowledge today 
This contribution would be good 
Educating society as it should 
Take these thoughts I do scribe 
On your holiday ride 
Ponder my rhymes 
Circulating the economy friendly governmental dime 
Enriching America’s creative independent mind

Lucky Numbers Blues

There are many gambler's fallacies
the statisticians say 
each roll of the roulette table
is an independent event

Yet the gamblers believe
that if for example

there were ten red numbers
in a row
that the next one should be black
right

A statistician in the U,K.
decided to prove
that the gamblers
were all delusional

in insisting that there were patterns
in the endless spin of the wheel
and that it was more of a curve
that the noise of random numbers 

after thousands of spins
recorded on a computer
the pattern was clear

there was a bell shape curve
with an upswing 
and a downswing to the data

an early experiment 
in chaos theory
but with a practical application

if you are on a winning curve
keep going until the curve
turns into a losing curve
then walk away

and you might be a winner
according to science
but they have yet 
to be able to prove/disprove
 
that lucky numbers exist 
for you and me
mine was always 32
and when it pops

I swore that my lucky number
came up 
just a fluke 
according to science

another iron clad rule
the regression to the mean
the curve may go up 
and may go down 

but in the end 
it regresses to the mean 
and that means
the house always wins

This Is Now

By Parizo Van Thulare 

Now you realize life after matric is not child's play 
Now you realize nobody chose to stay 
Now you see the reasons beyond the grinding 

Being independent is not as easy as you thought 
Bieng a tangent  is not as easy as you were taught 
Here we do practicals 
No theory is of existence 

When the genius dance above the law
We are the first suspects
When Romeo breaks Juliet 
We are the first to be given names

It's a race of mankind versus patience 
A war between money and love 
A match between fame and success 
Only few get to choose 
The majority get to loose 

What you have been told then 
Becomes addition to points of Cardinal 
That one which  we poke 
When there is still hope 
The one that we poke 
When we become broke

Wishing  time was an R line 
So we change gears and it displays reverse lights 
So we all jump in and go back to life 
Back when we knew nothing about worries 
When we were just babies in napkins

Dreams become reality in television 
In real life they don't exist  
Welcome to my world 
Here we fight only for survival

The Invention of a Village Life

by Parizo Van Thulare

I was born endless miles from the town 
I was raised to wear a crown 
I may look shy in a crowd 
But i was born to survive in these dark clouds 

Criticism makes me bold 
Unlike protons i know how to settle even when it is cold 
I know what a struggle is 
I know how to be independent means 

They say i was raised from a dull background
Some say i grew driving copper wired cars around 
But that created the person i am today 
It was preparing my heart to face such life 

I am a village boy
The invention of a village life 
Thee innovation to the future life  
I am a village boy
I'm not scared to tell stories of how i was raised 

Words have come from the other side 
Saying  i have a soul of a kite 
They say i don't know how to hike  
They forget i raised in a cave 
I do know how to climb 
Thats why i always thrive 

These scars on my face 
They do tell many tales
The battles i fought with my enemies 
And the path I've travelled to this moment

Premium Member Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee

Meet Tweedle Dum and Tweedle-Dee
Two of a kind they both lived in a tree
Way high up on the upper most branch
Not afraid of heights but why take a chance

I fail to see why they're living up there
They don't have a bed, they don't have a chair
Must be uncomfortable and hard on the bum
Hope they're not bothered by splinters, by gum

These guys are strange, they're nincompoops
They've never liked living in community groups
Independent old souls most all of their lives
Some call 'em snobby, these guys they deride

Society is made up of all different trolls
Some are hot headed with holes in their souls
Some are real happy, like those guys the best
Sure happy I got that stuff off of my chest

Meet Tweedle Dum and old Tweedle-Dee
Two of a kind they both lived in a tree
If you guys want my opinion and advice
Get the hell down here and I won't tell you twice
