Elizabeth Bathory Wakka
Was awfully good in the sacka
She'd jump on your face
And writhe with such grace
Then spit out her bright red tobakka.
… only fools rush in
on the blue-green planet where we spin.
Believers say, there’s a grand plan
guiding the destiny of woman and man.
In a philosopher’s evaluation,
it is called predestination.
Scientists say both time and space
compose the contour of our place.
We are free to traverse
the temporal in the universe
through memories on space-time fabric’s seams
and the future threads of dreams.
So, everywhere and always, I say,
I want to marry you today -
when I saw you ‘neath the schoolyard’s skies,
and again, in our grandson’s eyes.
Furious fisherman on calm creeks
Troubling taxes to determine defeat
Urgent upbeat, rigid response
Passionate peace met a sudden select
Tally truth, realize rad
Follow faith please, through the guider's glance
Restored rock of truth don't limit light.
Your heart is kind, so amazing
A blessing, inside… my soul is praising
You’re a piece of the life, God gave
A life full of purpose, a chance so brave
Your soul is faithful, such sacrifice
A sweet smelling joy, heavenly spice
You’re a miracle of grace, God’s light
A murmur of love that feels so very right
Your story comes alive as dawn rises
A blessing of pure wonder always surprises
You’re a healing of the heaviest heart
A music poured out, a song that won’t depart
Your tenderness is like a breath of hope
A sweet ember of encouragement so I can cope
You’re a friend who is worthy of each honor
A promise that tells me all my fear is a goner
Your natural ability is to always inspire
A sincerity that reassures my wildest desire
You’re more than a blessing, I can’t describe
A blessing that is just what Jesus did prescribe
When I first met you, I didn’t realize
How your light could be brighter than sunrise
Now I know that you’re more than a friend
You’re assurance that my gratitude will never end!
Thank you, my friend – for all you’ve been
I’ve loved you since our friendship did first begin
Go forward with all your might, like a star shining be bright, take all your steps forward and never go back.
Go forward with all your knowledge, all your love, be kind, be patient, and remember all of the times of your life that made you.
Go forward like a storm, make all of your marks and if you fail, try again and keep trying till you reach all of your dreams.
Go slow, go fast, go at your pace, but never stop, never quit, life can send you bumps, it can send you off track, it can make you feel like you can never reach your dreams, but you can.
Go like Jesus did, forward to your path, never quit, never give up, for this life is temporary and all of your dreams are available for you if you never quit.
Lifting prayer to God, today and always.
Safe is the feeling of secure and happy, no worries, and able to grow without fear and harm and persecution.
Safe is when you are in an environment that is secure, that has all of your best interest at heart, a feeling like being in the womb of your mother, warm and secure.
Safe we want, we need, we love, we want to live and breathe safely each day of our life.
Safe should always be the most important way we live our life, it should be universal and it should be for all.
Living in an unsafe environment causing harm, harm to oneself, harm to the environment and leaves us unable to grow and learn just to mention a few of the negative effects that living in an unsafe environment can cause us harm.
Safe we want, we need, we love, we want to live and breathe safely each day of our life.
God’s heaven we are told is safe, it has many rooms for us to live, it is a place of love and joy, a place like the garden of even, we look to God to remove all of the unsafe from our life.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
Dear
No aim,
No ambition,
Lazy moments.
I have earned this simple, carefree life through my own honesty and hard work.
Let me be a humble, easygoing soul—dear to everyone, with all calling me their dear friend.
With love to all,
Jagdish Bajantri

Love and truth and peace and joy
Spread these frequencies throufout mother earth
Enter the hearts of every living man woman girl and boy
To Capture an Angel
by Frank Daub
My plan was based
On seeking proof
of Faith erased.
A search for truth.
A hook that could be thrown
to tear my doubting,
and fix on something grown
From love – Divine shouting?
An angel’s message could be so.
Thunder, light or such.
The Sweet of wine, a kindred soul
Or a Sacrificial Touch.
Coffee or tea?
Eggs or French toast?
“I’m not sure honey,
Whatever you want most.”
Strawberries or melon?
A fork or spoon?
“I’m not sure honey,
But I’d like to eat before noon.”
Windows up or curtains drawn?
Go back to bed or start the day?
“I’m not sure love,
You can decide either way.”
Music playing or keep it quiet?
Pajamas or get dressed?
“I’m not sure love,
Whatever you think is best.”
Walk around the garden?
Or sit inside for a while?
“I’m not sure honey,
I just want to see you smile.”
Slow mornings, sleepy eyes
Together curled in a ball
I’m not sure honey,
I think I want it all
Sun shining through the window
Flowers in full bloom
I’m not sure love,
But it’s always with you
No plans, no hurry
No reason to leave
I’m not sure love
But this is enough for me
THE TAO OF TWO
The attic steps
Once I climbed
The door ajar
Alone inside
I watched you stare
Though no one there
You reached for one
But none beside
What secrets kept
Beneath your breast
What is so dark
You won't confess
What storm still stirs
Inside that chest
Who holds the key
With such contempt
Your love for one
Though hard I try
Seems I am lost
And don't know why
For what is said
And what is meant
The Tao of two
You, and I
WHAT IF
Memory stirs
One faceless
Unnamed
Be better served
Be blind to such pain
But I choose to exist
In the realm of, what If
Of wanting and wish
To find you again
PIROUETTE
Dark, the clouds
Move the sky
High above, the rain
Begins it's fall
Unties the towel
Loose, around your waist
The first drops dance
Across your back
You wrap, and run away
You turn to pirouette
So proud
Bow, the clapping waves
A long ago memory of a girl i knew. A ballerina.
When it would rain we would travel to the beach.
Alone, because of the weather ... She loved to dance in the sand.
My heart's at half-mast for dear Molly McGee
Who was drawn and quartered and buried at sea
They thought her a temptress, known only to me
Convicted of mischief and skulduggery
So, I dropped to my knees and prayed to the Lord
Tho, devout as I was, my prayers were ignored
I bowed to the Captain, I begged and implored
But watched my dear Molly, get dumped overboard
Then I shouted her name and jumped in the sea
And followed the body of Molly McGee
Two lovers united, where hearts can be free
Our souls are now mingled, my Molly and me
