Celebration of Success

Today we celebrate our 
success after years of perseverances,
struggles & hardship that 
shapes up our academic appearance,
We reminisce the 
challenges that stood 
before us,
and we savor the victories 
that lay the key stone to 
our progress,
It was not so long ago 
when we dared to dream,
and not so long ago we 
dared to take the first step 
despite how hard it seem,
Along the way we met a lot 
of trials,
but our burning desire to 
reach our goals has kept us 
going through the miles,
Along the way were many 
uncertainties that kept us 
on a stake,
but certain beacons of light 
showed us the right path to 
take,
Let us thank God therefore 
for His unceasing grace,
And our professors for their 
immeasurable dedication in 
helping us through this 
race,
our parents for their 
unconditional support,
and our friends for their 
awesome consort,
The medals and diplomas 
we received today must not 
 be mere symbols of high 
grades,
But are ladders that will see 
us through life trades,
Lets make a good use of 
everything we've learn to 
our benefit,
To the point where we can
 boldly say that “We've 
made it !”.

I Am Now

" ... full blast ...."

357 is a great tale to tell...
Tesla saw the steps
so invented his call

And then in the silence 
of Olympian ground

"...I heard you rang?..."
Said d;Meter to them all....

"A cosmic gun" was just for fun
But He's challenged a.dove
To find her way home.

so here we go...
#masons #toolshed #cubit #numbers
N. TESLA
 "Fragments of Olympian Gossip"
While listening on my cosmic phone
I caught words from the Olympus blown.
A newcomer was shown around;
That much I could guess, aided by sound.
"There's Archimedes with his lever
Still busy on problems as ever.
Says: matter and force are transmutable
And wrong the laws you thought immutable."
"Below, on Earth, they work at full blast
And news are coming in thick and fast.
The latest tells of a cosmic gun.
To be pelted is very poor fun.
We are wary with so much at stake,
Those beggars are a pest—no mistake."
"Too bad, Sir Isaac, they dimmed your renown
And turned your great science upside down.
Now a long haired crank, Einstein by name,
Puts on your high teaching all the blame.
Says: matter and force are transmutable
And wrong the laws you thought immutable."
"I am much too ignorant, my son,
For grasping schemes so finely spun.
My followers are of stronger mind
And I am content to stay behind,
Perhaps I failed, but I did my best,
These masters of mine may do the rest.
Come, Kelvin, I have finished my cup.
When is your friend Tesla coming up."
"Oh, quoth Kelvin, he is always late,
It would be useless to remonstrate."
Then silence—shuffle of soft slippered feet—
I knock and—the bedlam of the street.
Nikola Tesla, 
........
and so I replied...
fragments of O
While listening on his cosmic phone
He caught the words 'Olympus blown'
A newcomer, being shown around
was guided there by way of sound
" she's listening " Archimedes found
to steps been laid upon the ground
Sir Isaac, while upside down
gave Albert a turn
saying "change that frown!"
Kelvin's finally finished his cup
and our dearest Tesla...
is about to wake up!
.
.
it's a matter...
of transmutable

But it will take a long time for sure for this race to be over,
But already it looks like "Black  Beauty" is about to make history today.

Stop Our Violence

Somewhere we've made a mistake 
teaching children right from wrong
the poor choices that we make 
whilst making our children strong

We all have good intentions
from the moment that we start
but kids face some distractions
hiding what's deep within their hearts

The sex, drugs, and rock and roll
have turned to thoughts of violence
we need to have a new goal
and teach them some tolerance

Some factors that we should blame
movies, media, and us
all of which should feel some shame
but we don't          that's not a plus

What in God's name will it take
before we will understand
our precious lives are at stake
the outcome cannot be planned

We must stop kids from killing
I don't know who              even how
but we ALL must be willing 
to do this and do it now!

NATURE OF HEART

[charactercounter.com/lines:40]

Dual curved carved crystalline it rests
        quantum wave particles interwoven at best
                     allows Heart to heave
          explorations suavely gentle, feel 
 
Heal with non-local light white 
    across Tibetan height nights  
continuously crafted through storm eyes
    looping smile sighs, holding Soul steady
   whorling, whispering veins tirelessly heady
                 expansive is a rush of blood

Rain tears feed its sizzling throbbings
arteries androgyny crying crumbling piously
 lying awake, nothing’s at stake
                     Heart within Planet of the Heart
        touching, encircling, squeezing

Soft supple sublime smoothing 
         in rhythmic dance inward and out
twirls across seaspun songs, sealed
   as blood flows through brain cells 
holds no sin, beating making no din 

Heart pure stillness, pricelessly present 
        through sockets smiling : sees, hears, feels 
           tastes, smells ~ in silence connecting               its moment is only a moment 
     
holds exalted longings without expectations 
            observing own arising gyrations   
musings, twinnings, dismantlings
                Beauty of Heart melts catalytic 
                making music, fascination still
 
cannot label nor judge neither contradict 
or impress empresses or advocates
governors, lover hierophants or poets 
             fathoms no fools ~ merely IS

          Presents primal lingering languid gaspings
for its own beatings, pulsing, unfoldings
          irrepressible expressions
               explosions of expirations 

 Split  open its  P R E S E N C E
        e x p o s i n g  slivered voluptuous 
                           vulnerability breathing 

                            HEART  AM  I

by Joseph Christopher Liguori and Robert James Liguori
________________________________

Are you safe from intruders living on the tenth floor of a high rise? 
Not as much as you would think, just a word to the wise.

There is a certain species that will still come to your home, 
Wandering up the walls, at night they will roam.

Food is what they seek, as they scale high and low, 
Looking all around, in each and every window.

Your best defense is having lights that flood,
As they feed on one thing alone, your pulsing blood.

A silver stake may come in handy,
That is, if you are not at first, their delicious candy.

So play it safe, grab a hammer and some nails,
For a boarded window, seldom fails!

I can only imagin

I can only imagine
the marriage of life
From youthfull marriage
to the end of life

But I cannot see 
what was not meant for me
one by my side
No one else to see

Children made by her and me
some like her others like me
The making of choices
Of what they may be

The ageing together
the problems we'll flee
the undying love
and sometimes disgrace

The finding of peace
after all the mistakes
Knowing our future
without force of fate

Stay where you are
no matter the stakes
Beside them in a car
were ever it takes

Fighting with voices
that forces and makes
listening to lies
our jealosy at stake

Going to bed 
without a word
where silence speaks loudly
and suspisions are heard

Ever the endurance
the constanct reasurance
It's forever and a day
Just as they say

I wish my life 
to be this way
somehow I escaped
to a different day 

Looking back
I wonder why
For all these women 
I was willing to die

It's what they call 
 A polygamous life
Where all I loved 
Made one wife

Yet today I wonder still
Is the past the life I lived
Was marriage ever the thing I'd give
The ones I loved and love them still

Premium Member Deceitful Deeds

For what is it we find, what is it we feel?
When in the world of men the lie means so much 
more than the truth we need to heal

For what burned and poisoned lands lie dormant 
in their yields?
When the promises of men stray like wisps of 
wind in the valleys and over the fields

For what truth is left to find in a world of deceitful 
deeds?
Has man lost his will to drive a stake through evil 
when light shows where evil is concealed?

For what is it we need? Has humanity lost its path 
because of selfishness and power greed?
Under the bright light of the moon do we choose not 
to hear history scream in our coldest darkest dreams?

For what is it you want, do you think it’s the same 
as me?
For your children to live a life where the lives they 
have are theirs and the dreams they have are free?

Premium Member Nevermore

NEVERMORE

What hell!  Of pale-green fever
that slithers and shakes no longer,
clammy under a cold clean sheet.

Feel the weight of gold roses placed
over the splintered sphinx,
luck of flotsam wood escape —
of twisted fate, no wand will save.

Coins placed where pupils stare,
a swamp of hair on feather pillow, heavy.
How oft her lair, I’d treat myself
to penny candy - sweetness sours.

The howl like a wolf tears,
through my gaping hole.
The dam suddenly severed
divides me from her.

Woe! Woe! Hear the church bells!
Take a stake to my undead heart.
Gargoyles lurch off the steepled seas.
Oh please! I repent — and rend

my reptile skin, stick acupuncture swords
in my pinpoint eyes,
but the blurred black din continues
to squawk, “nevermore...nevermore”

Poe in Plath Style
Inspired by Poe’s poem For Annie

Grossbeck

Continents collide against one another
The tatonic plates are now emerged
Pesisides manipulate earth 
but still we breath the air
vlcanoes erupt and sobdue us
the langlaeers are the Mcabees only fear
Genocide is a brainless way to indulge in a fight
so i end racism like all my friends
Lakes are made by men 
so what can we not do
the energy of the sun is that comparable to the tides and waves
so current so vast and still they pinpoint the lighting strikes
as drones fly through the universe
stars shine untill the last dying light
xrays candle blue vVanderbuilt a song for the flute
liverpool is a life at stake
then send a troop
