Almighty Lord
You know me and you know how in life I pine to succeed
I know all that...

I

As things do return home like a refrain, 
On way back from a country tour were we,
A leisurely long trip—my kin and me, 
And met a quaint character on the train, 
As I recall, in...

Descending into a mega-mall, the fluorescence blemishes my skin.
There is a twinge in my temples as I approach the makeup counter,
meeting eyes with a woman whose shoes pierce my gait 
and whose artificially white teeth...

There once was a princess
so beautiful,
That all those who beheld her
Wanted her hand forever

There was, at this time,
A White Knight
In shining armor
(save a few tarnish spots
he'd somehow overlooked)
Who roamed the land
Seeking justice and true love

Unbeknownst...

So many people help me.  They are concerned, they rush to see if I am okay.
They listen when I want to tell my truth. They do not call me out 
When I get outrageous....

She’s complaining:

Darling,
I thought a thought.
But the thought I thought 
Wasn't the thought I thought I thought.
If the thought I thought I thought,
Was the thought I thought,
I would never had that thought.

Darling,
You thought a thought
But the...

that knows his wits ain't the keenest
and a writer that thought he was cock-of-the-walk 
we'll refer to him as genius

genius liked to hang around o'boy
and make fun of him all...

With acquired skills often very bold...
as a philosopher once foretold,
I write my essay on friendship, kind of brief,
not for my sake but for anyone without relief.
With the keenest mind I move this speedy hand,
to convince...

Freedom to display one’s unwashed teeth
Exhibiting the whole thirty-two,
Even as others with anger seethe 
And the keenest insults on one rain, too.
	
Voice to broadcast one’s HIV-Status
Before it’s public discovery
Or befriending some consoling circus
And waiting for...

We open scene, a moonless dream 
Ensconced in night held safe from light
And yet a mind of the keenest kind
Tells tales that tower of daylight hours:

With fleetest foot and fur of soot
The cat runs on,...

For amid the calls, the paeans to bloody coup-de-tats and revolutions and the, 
Orders on the radio, is a broken static. It follows as three short cries, a pause,
Then three long wails, a pause, then...

O joyous Love-Of-Things Day,
O LOt Day, coming near,
I've bought a lot
To give a lot,
To lots of friends so dear.

And lots are coming my way,
Of flashing things so good,
And in a lot
I'll take a lot,
Like every...

Nobody can discover anything
that's hidden in the quite woods
of the striking wilderness:
if adventure and curiosity limit
our perception to fully discover it
with the keenest senses:
it can make us marvel at the loveliness.
of the butterflies or the...

Fittingly hallowed gods must intrinsic majesty hold.
Even before deities invoked weigh the caller's case,
The deity's potent title should alone spell the balm,
And tint with nourishing grace the supplicant's face. 

Woe justly betides gods modelled by...

Oh, happy are the people who
have loads of chums, both old and new,
who stop and pass the time of day,
or join them when they dine and play.

And yet the luckiest, by far,
are those who know...

CROWN THE KING
 
Kendrick, king of kinetic kinesis,
Kaleidoscopic knowledge knits keenest.
Kindled by Compton's kinetic flame,
Keen verses vie for victory, acclaim.4

Knightly in kendo of kindred beats,
Keeps a killing calmness under knit sheets.
Kicks, knuckles, knockouts off his...

	Lord,
	I've asked not from you, the fastest steed.
	Nor desire I to possess the keenest eye.
	Nor do I seek, from life, an easy, meaningless, course
	Wherein, that I, upon my labor, might get...

Sweet is equally sweet to all mortal tongues, 
Choice morsels sate all men's starved pangs; 
Brilliant sights of plenty charm every eye right, 
And friends against foes for shinier spoils fight.

Why then do many in...

What conundrum lies under life's foxy rinds 
That even the most adept eye seldom finds? 
The surgeon's knife removes the outer coat
To see hard lids that mask the whole report. 

Keenest pilots only fly far...

I am the predator you watch up in the sky
Blessed by the Lord with the keenest of eyes
I nest in the canyons high up on the walls
Keeping my babies safe from it all
When my babies...

Paint a picture with your mind
Dust out your cluttered head
Close the outer eye and open 
Imagination’s keenest eye within

See now grassy hills that rise and fall
See the crisp blue stream that winds along
Now the downy...

The keenest winter wind so shrilly whistled
In the night;
The fire in the fireplace flared and fizzled,
Giving light
Through the wailing winter night.

Within the cabin all was warm and cozy
In the night;
The children's cheeks were glowing red...

Seems that with nearly every purchase nowadays for a fee,
Sales representatives want to sell you an extended warranty!

I reckon that's fine should you purchase a washing machine or car,
But the warranty that I was offered...

Taking on an odd challenge - committed
Ideal forms, fired in keenest kiln
Trespass pages torn out, inmate omitted
Anguish arms, firm steely shield


Tigers eye eclipse rolls out a rosy moon
Rising icy on closed encyclopaedia 
Thick black book...
