PERSONIFIED LIGHTED CANDLE:

Come on, I'm strong and edified.
No one can hold me in detention for getting them defied.
Compared to Cassius Clay; fiercely bonified.
A firmly personified lighted candle on a lampad. 
In the corners of every...

When I was born, 
My hands were empty.
When I was died,
My hands were empty.

What was a difference?
When I was born.
My family relatives and friends
Congratulates to my family.

My father got proud on my Mum.
And arranged a...

Welcome to the new millennium
Seven years in the making.
Forever forsaking.
Every year touted as the last one on earth
Yet we all know the worth
Of a dollar.
Holler if you hear someone knocking
On heavens door.
No one lives there...

Love is the essence.

Your presence is flavor.

I'll savor you "Now and Later."

Your sweetness is one,

of many candies,

not just good night pillow mint "Andes."
 
I'm a "sucker" for you,

like an "Everlasting Gobstopper," forever true.

Even if there's "Mounds"...

We weren't rich by any means
but our bellies were full and our clothes were clean

They didn't display those high priced names
but they wore fine just the same

We didn't ride around in fancy cars
Grandma saved pennies...

Many politicians vociferously lie
Many politicians either hide or omit the truth
Many times, I sit down quietly in a booth
Enjoying a glass of chocolate mousse
And drinking orange juice
Serenely to listen and analyze many lawmakers’ words
I laugh...

I was at the soda shop the other day.
Met a cute girl there by the way,
Only thing about that I can see 
She had terrible stank breath...whooooeee !

Revival* drives spiritual quickening
Against apathy magnified by doubt
Amidst distressful skepticism-bout…
God --- I thank for timely awakening.

Propelling toward faithful stewardship
Revival fires up yielded commitment
Once promised with gracious empowerment
Christ --- I praise for His gearing leadership.

time slides ever to the right,
neither scabrous skidding mark,
nor faint leavings of wisdom’s feast,
only gouged furrows, upturned days,

to love only ideas of love, 
inane this hate of a cruel gentle kiss,
blackened hollow, sunken chest,
banal sacraments...

Cave Kellers and Dig Wellers

Hell of a story to tell

Dwell among tent...

The sky will cover us tonight.
The town crackles beneath our feet
for your eyes' unsettling tilt
and your luminosity in yellows and reds.
Next to you, my bones shine pure white
through the veil of my skin.
Buildings flail in...

It's six o'clock, 
but not for the birds,
for them, it's four-play.  
God says,"Be there, or be square," 
because He's Lord of the times, 
not Jehovah of old, knows 
that slang and jargon, 
keep the...

The havoc of poverty

Is the undisturbed terrain

Of the vain unqualified.

Who live in distress.



Sitting on the recliner

Speaking about the poor

With the glass of costly wine

And there is nothing to offer.



Only talk and talk about them

The one...

before the key touched the door 
and even before 
the agent real-stated this, our home 
i heard the rafters, door stoppers and shutters 
rattle with our love 
i saw 
the garden you’d grow

Winter is the last to the stage
The headlining act
Of a year almost gone

It has a few show stoppers up its sleeve
As Christmas and New Year
Prepare to put their best show on

Patiently waiting in the wings

False Spring 
End of September is a strange interlude 
in Algarve´s countryside. 
Flowers suddenly bloom and yellow grass
turns green, for a few weeks it looks like 
spring before sinking back to winter gloom.
