Cantankerous cancers found my blood letting from the slit,
Is it avarice of me to desire the love begetting of Lazarus?
Enjoying life cadaverous like forgetting the want to live,
Is it glamorous for me to die while God desires I live?
Forgo the solid ground,
My feet dangled off the edge of a jagged cliff.
I fought the howl of squalid sin,
I caught the wind sending back the fire of my padded spliff.
Below I spotted a town,
My feet angled to squish what I saw down to the earth’s crusty skin.
Got calls asking where I’ve been.
Like,
“Just,
Just been wondering.”
Yeah yeah.
Yeah,
I guess you’ve just been wondering?
Could’ve made it better before I made it end,
Would’ve,
Should’ve,
But I wouldn’t have liked to make amends.
A couple foot of rope set up to further suspend,
Just to be an easy way out for whoever he is?
I misunderstood a friend on what is perpetuity,
I just want to live forever,
Instead I pretend to breathe on incongruity.
And as I descend upon,
I felt alive again when I grew dizzy.
I felt alive,
In my life,
I felt alive as I grew dizzy.
May my greatest feat,
My magnum opus be:
That I loved whole heartedly
And extraordinarily!
May those who knew me,
Know I loved thee best.
Pieces of glass shattered on the wooden floor
I maim my pointed finger; it bleeds and runs into my broken door.
Grief is timeless as it seems,
How evergreen to sculpture happiness in my dreams?
I’m beautifully made but devastatingly asking,
“What keeps you awake and keep on going?”
Life is an art that is crafted under a long process
They say it’s worthy to endure; just like how everyone else.
“You need to find hope in your disappointments and failures”
As nonchalant as mosaic, there’s beauty in life’s curvatures.
“Your insecurity is like a fake brush that loses your colors to paint”
Look how splendor the love and support around; need them to acquaint.
Just keep on going is what will keep me going.
For as long as I know that this beautiful life will keep me flowing.
Soon to be draped inside the room where decors and schemes are pretty simple,
I will be the masterpiece; a work of art that outstands like a steeple.
Move with clear mind the waves of time,
Ask for true heart that sparks pure act;
Glimpse love's sure kind as thought syncs chime,
Now live your art in fond impact;
Urge joy to heal all hurts and pains,
Make your life quest a journey fest.
Opt soul to feel life's stress and strain,
Prize each day's zest and do your best;
Use each kind act so love may light,
Seize stillness well as silence heals.
Live happy tact in mystic flight,
Etch a sound spell with wise goodwill;
On the way home warm sojourn here,
Note how soul roams as light moves spheres.

In simple lines
Grand thought divine
Love speaks easy
Plain and wisely
Seek the good here
Live happy cheer
Work faith and hope
Love suits all scope
Be here now then
Let how know when
Glimpse ample light
Bring wise insight
Allow great work
To flood fond perks
This is your life
Transcend mere strife
Each moment counts
Blooms grand amounts
Just do your best
With zeal and zest
Joy brings good pay
Life starts with play

The sound of the brook as it meanders through the grass, His Magnum Opus
Note:
Opus: A musical work, may be numbered in order of composer’s publication
Magnum Opus- A great, or the greatest work..
Man of words, strange creature of fiery intention,
Amplifying pictures with that restless imagination,
Great are the images spurting forth from your pen,
Nothing holds you down, working alone in the den;
Unto the night you toil, pushed by an alien power,
Mastering some inner demons, taming your fear.
Oh how you search for truths floating up in the air,
Producing tremors with the raging force they stir,
Until at last your labors come to a perfect ending,
Shaking humanity with the hard lessons they bring.
