"50 Words for Poe: Winter"
Hey, you know how it goes
when you had your first kiss
Poetry kind of gets you between
the gonads with that kinda shizz
Yep, you’re lost on the swell when it
hits that frizz
You just gotta hit the surf and
when the waves come for you
dive under the Effers
You’ll come out of the Lemonade, betya 10 quids
Head up, you’re King or Queen of the Waves
This is how "IT" begins
Sharks, bellies full of sunk brave
are there to awaken
"Kavorka"
Byron knew that biz
"Kavorka"
Poetry in Bliss
Go on
Deal those cards
Black Jack
No Pikers
Never pass this way again
It’s Now or Never
We’re ALL heading towards Winter

Steely Dan...
"One always has to be willing to lose to be able to win... in battle and in life.”
She took off running that rainy, November day,
Flight strip was narrow, the sky was shaded gray,
As she reached the end of the field,
She saw a sign that said "please yield"
Going so fast she could hardly stop,
At the top of this cliff the only option was to drop,
She had reached her maximum speed,
It was now or never for her wings to lead,
The sky was vast the clouds her tier,
Fog was overwhelming,
Her surroundings were not clear,
She reached her highest altitude,
This put her in an excited mood,
Then suddenly she felt her levels drop down,
She was aiming fast towards the ground,
With thoughts of completion set in her mind,
She had to come up with a way to save time,
In the distance she saw a giant tower,
This would save her in this hour,
Now gliding towards this important mark,
She suddenly saw a giant stork,
She realized he conserves energy too,
By gliding in-between flying when traveling some place new,
Encouraged by this wise old bird,
Her journey didn’t seem as absurd,
When she finally was able to rest,
She was thankful that she gave it her best.

There was no alcoholics in my family,
but there was some heavy drinking on weekends.
Personally, I kicked the habit at a very young age.
Prohibition was repealed, but not in our home county.
I was to learn later that our county was an alcohol dry county,
but the county next to ours was a very wet one, and it always
spilled into our county and made it as wet as wet could be. If for
some reason an adequate supply did not flow, there was always plenty
of 'home made stills'. I was always an inquisitive little lad and wondered
what all the fuss was about when it came to alcoholic beverages. It seemed
to make people joyful, smiley, and happy. So at around 5 or 6 years of age, I decided to take a sip of whisky, but I knew that I would have a very bad day if I got caught. There was plenty in the refrigerator and the coast was clear. It was now or never, and my venture into the world of alcohol became both 'a now and a never'. I took one drink and an internal combustion lit up within me like a fire cracker on the 4th of July. I don't know if AA existed when I was 5, but I did not need anybody's program to fix me. I both started and stopped drinking at the same time, nevermore a drink except for Holy Communion.

How many more businesses will need to go under?
How many more lives will they squash and plunder?
Should my way of life be put to the test?
How many should sacrifice so you can rest?
Why should my freedom suffer so you can feel safe?
You can stay home and vegetate.
Martial law, more government control?
We are digging ourselves a mighty large hole.
The entire planet now under siege?
I’m calling BS on the powers that be.
We are the people our numbers are high.
Our leaders are hanging us out to dry.
Rise up or fall, it’s now or never.
Blind obedience is never clever.
Our way of life is being changed.
Don’t let your future be prearranged.
It’s time to act and take a stand.
Our right to choose will soon be banned.
We need exposure to live and survive.
The longer we’re home the deeper we dive.
Two plus zero plus two plus six, on cue
equals one to the power of zero
makes for new beginnings in a remix
soul sovereignty detachment freedom fix
surrender to Divinity the trick
know intelligence is not wisdom's depth
co-dependence will not bring ascension
Creativity is order of day
authenticity can be only truth
disconnect outmoded veils, facades, masks ~
across dimensional realities
we travel for stability, assume …
judgement an unwanted trait, relinquish
fear, make it friend to confront, then vanquish
Inward bound is the choicest momentum
heaven to earth meet in peaceful haven
mind holds matrixes to transmute acute
voice truth clear sincere to everyone dear
demonstrate individuality
own presentation of our Godhead Pure
twenty twenty six, now or never year !

Love me now while
I can love you in return
Love me now when, at will
I can turn on and off the lantern
Love me now while, still
I can exhale and inhale easily
Love me now while
I can see clearly your beauty
Don’t wait for tomorrow
When I can no longer see the transient rainbow
When I can no longer walk on my own
And when I cannot feel the freshness of dawn
Love me not solely on Valentine’s Day
But also when I erringly go astray
Love me now or never
So I can remain blessed and blissful forever
Regardless of my state of mind
Don’t stop being sweet and kind
To my soul, to my heart
And to my body, before I depart.

Now, its now or never, its not an option at all I'm telling you
just being strictly honest inbtween hearts it is Love that compells me
Its my composure that you have shot into pieces, your eyes stab me in the heart like daggers
Now I stagger, I'm putty in your hands no doubt you got me wrapped around your pinky
My friends be like how come we ain't seen you? I say man I'm done for becuz on me she has cast a love spell
And if they think I'm recovering soon I hate to be the barrier of bad news, Together we're a force of nature like the waves that beat against the cliff
I can't really explain the exact extent of our relationship, but ill take the risk, and if my heart gets broken I'll lick the wounds
We are like soldiers that go out to war, she chose me, and many are called but few are chosen
she's true as far as I can see her heart sees
IF I'm cold she says here let me put my arms around you

;-) to my love (-:
Nathan Dilts
;-) from P.D. (-:
You're smiling ...
I'm staring at you
I know you know that I know
That you like me ... that you REALLY like me
Wendy told me, and Linda told her
(After I had Dave ask Debbie to ask Linda)
So it might as well have been you directly ... yeah
I also know that you know that this is my favorite slow-dance
I made sure Dave hinted to Debbie that she tell Linda
'Cause Wendy had said that Linda told her it was YOUR favorite song
Well, your favorite slow-dance song
We have the same favorite fast song, too, "Ain't No Mountain"
But "(They Long To Be) Close To You" is finally playing
And when it started, you spun to find me across the gymnasium
(I was watching - Wendy told me that Linda told her to make sure I watch you)
Then you smiled, and I smiled, and now I KNOW we are true and steady
I KNOW it's time to make my move ...
The lights are low, mirror ball spinning
Sawdust has been spread on the gym floor
I've got my paisley shirt on, apache around my neck
Best bell-bottoms, big-buckle belt and boots
And enough Hai Karate cologne to seduce an elephant
But ... but ... but, my feet aren't moving!!
What's wrong?!?
I've planned this for weeks, and now I'm frozen ...
It's my braces ... Debbie told EVERYone that she cut her lip on them
Now I'm terrified that you might turn me down ... cuz of that
'Cuz last year Linda broke up with Dave just because he GOT braces
She never even kissed him with braces, but broke up with him ...
Just from the FEAR of cutting her lip!
('Course Dave is a power kisser, everybody knows that)
Still, I KNOW you like me ... and you ARE smiling ...
It's now or never, cuz the Carpenter's won't play forever
I feel a hand in my back - Dave, pushing me
Toward you ... across the floor
Braces be DAMNED - I'm making my move!
The night is OURS, Baby
And it's a groovy thing happening!
Yeah ...
"Why do stars ... fall down from the sky ... "

#The_10_years_of_EFF_existence
For weariness of being, a baton fell so hard on African soil, the barking of dogs so loud, defeaning one man conscience, the heaven asked who is worthy to lead the hopeless and promises ravaged-minds and hearts, of Azanian child,
From a savaged past, tattooed with disappointment and deception and backstabbing by those he trusted, in the midst of leaders masquerading to serve,
a formation, unshackled from the dungeon of bruised yesterday, a red regalia so vicious and unequivocally unwavering, took the fore front, and became a voice to the voiceless, a backbone for the weak and frail and ones fear have incarcerated.
My ground catches tremors, I hear voices of reason, breaking lose my bones, a wound has festered, Thomas Sankara, Kwame Nkruma, Fidel Castro, Chris Hani, Gaddafi, Mugabe, an African Renaissance hailing and bowing gratitude that at last a seed has fallen to mzansi soil and now its starting to germinate fruits of hope, their long forgotten and burried vision for every African child,
many voices across the globe shaken to their pans, a revolutionary movement has been unearthed, to cut loose generational chains and norms of man-made political and economical bonds, to an azanian child
they say Rome was not built in a day, to date its 10 years, since inception, the light long overdue at the end of a colour being tunnel, in my head I hear a shona man from Zimbabwe saying "pongoane pongoane" a bit by bit, the foundation has been laid, it's only a matter of time until the vision is realized and africans awakened and African child received his biological birth right, his land and economic freedom
the tracks before me are vivid, mother African is only a matter of time, the glory of your seed brings to life your hope and wish for your own, the economic freedom fighters on the forefront the gloves are off, until the vision is not only realized but accomplished,
the working class, the students, the poor of the poorest, the hoe is on the ground by force this world shall realize the dream, the time is now or never EFF is the force to be reckoned with and epitome for every Melani child
