Mud puddle Marvin makes messy mixes
Never nailed Nanette notices noodles by nixes
Ostentatious Oscar organizes oatmeal fixes
Providing proof personified, pixie counts by sixes
I have had my heart torn to pieces
From inexplicable pain and devotion,
Sown seeds of trust and reaped distrust,
I have gardened it, in dry stormy deserts and in green plains,
And garnered nixes as deserved and underserved,
I have grown fonder in loneliness, yet attached,
Earned pain and immortal reminiscence,
I have had mine broken, as I may have broken others,
Reaped a share of emotional intoxication,
I have let my passion flow, into bottomless pits,
Yet, in all this madness, I find no wondrous virtue,
Than to love, be it in the rains or in the suns,
Inconsiderate of its start or its end.
Lightning transverses the sky like a living fire
Anger burns through the soul with eerie desire
The growth of it in temporal nixes of fifth element one must admire
The meaning of increases greatly and the highest number with literal interpretation awe will inspire
The fury of lighting is supreme
The under fabric of the expanse in it makes it extreme
It feels surreal like a dream
The demon wreaks havoc among airstream
But like all storms it passes by
And soon sun appears in the sky
The under fabric increases from expanse to druid star in a blink of an eye
The sun after the storm is divine glory that refuses to die
