If Tomorrow Does Not Occur

If tomorrow does not occur 
The world would be quite a mess.
Some would dart and some would linger
If tomorrow does not occur.
With people rushing hither and thither
One and all would lose their heads.
If tomorrow does not occur 
The world would be quite a mess.

So keep fulfilling...our hearts delight 
Morning, day, evening...or night

A Shipwrecked Must Occur

That shipwreck will  provoke
consequently the breaking of the old vessels.

Those vessels alike those of the old galleons
would contain coins that we use daily
but that are already moldy, worn
and therefore no longer valid. 

The vessels that contain 
rotten coins in the form of:
debates,  tangent stories, 
contradictions, and unresolved disputes
should be broken.

And from the remains of the old vessels
from the depths of your self,
the quietness,
the abandonment. 
the stillness, 
and a new inner peace
will emerge to the surface
in the form of sparkling bubbles.

Shipwreck, the praise of the day's last drink... or both?


Stir Up Crowd That Does Occur

Stir Up Crowd That Does Occur

Up some people Trump seems to stir;
Like a certain group that does occur,
That around,
Has found;
In our sides has been leaving big burr.

Know Death Does Occur

Know Death Does Occur

What we know is death does occur,
When we lived life good and pure,
Each moment loved,
Then were shoved.
By Trump, who we had to endure.

A Smudge In a Relationship Can Occur

The smudge of the relationship can occur,
   It can be so insecure,

Like through the door,
You hear but can't see, 
  You want to see inside but you're out.

  ?Communication so vague,
  ? depth of one so translucent , other so obscure,
  ?there is so much to figure, ensure... 
  ? 

 ? YOU are free , but a drizzle goes down your spine,
 ?It all goes so well, it's your own will to stay.
  ?
Point here,
  ?If relation goes so well,
  ?you're so happy and then..

What if...
  ?Butterflies vary,
  ?Complements become sturdy,
  ?You feel you're bugging,
  ?  You feel you're undefying....  ?
Too much sweetness, not enough...
  ? So much  we think through,
  ?
  ?Existence of the thoughts are our choice,
  ?   so is the relationships voice,
  ?
Things go hardy....

------

But you are hugging 

Over thinking,  relation so pure, 
 ?not to all expectations,  but secure,
 ? Misunderstandings  can be conquered, 
 ?   With love and care.
 ?
 ?


Racial Slur Did Occur

Racial Slur Did Occur

We heard that Trump said a racial slur;
Which right before  our eyes did occur;
Intimidating;
Humiliating;
Yet, what it was never knew for sure.

When the Crazies Occur

Math is really stressing
It isn’t such a blessing

But what if this was happening?

Aunt Love broke up
With Uncle Caring, yup.

My best friend Motivation
Got a crush on Hallucination.

And I heard that Ms. Persuasion Bell
Married Mr. Laziness T. Ell

What if my neighbor Boredom
Was heading out to somewhere foreign?

My friend named Inspiration Hazy
Just used a car, isn’t that crazy!

And Love and Hate 
Now best friends, but a little late.

But it was all a dream, not off the hook
I awoke sleeping on my math book!

When Cruelty and Suffering Occur, It Isn'T God's Will

Jehovah God isn't responsible for bad things that happen, Satan is.
Satan is responsible for the cruelty and suffering, the cause of it all is entirely his.
When wicked things happen, some people say that it's God's will.
But Satan is the one responsible when people lie, steal and kill.
Satan is the one to blame for the bad things that have occurred.
Songs were once clean but now some are littered with the F word.
When people hurt other people and commit other crimes, Satan is to blame.
When people say that these things are God's will, it's not true and it's a shame.
Cruelty and suffering are things that Jehovah God abhors.
The world needs God more now than it ever has before.
Obama says not to fear the future but I guarantee things will continue to get worse.
Satan will cause people to do even more evil, because of him, the world is cursed.
But when Jesus returns, suffering and cruelty will cease.
If you turn to God, you will gain eternal life and peace.

Did Yesterday's Mistakes Occur

I don't know  
Which way is home, 
Yesterday is kept in store 
By memory alone, 
The inaudible screams 
The motionless violence, 
They bounce in the emptiness 
Of utter silence, 
Truth and happiness oscillate 
But are not of the same sort, 
I'm lost between connotations 
But i seem to come up short 
On the perceptions of reality, 
There's no such thing as rewind 
But it feels a never ending torque 
Fueled by vague echoes of anguish 
Cherished recollections 
That race in a loop, intertwined, 
Locked into the inevitable 
Memories fade to a blur 
Everything bleeds into what now is 
Did yesterdays mistakes occur?

Do Miracles Occur

He stood on such bandy legs, shaking,
I thought he would fall. His cigarette
Puffing like the grey white clouds above.

A lone heron flies high and jagged
Like the tips of the mountains
That brush this clouded sky, and surround the sea

Where our ship skims the shore with its
Light, a star rising from the blue black depths:
Can we wait until the sun sets?

To Occur the Words She Said

Am I so alone,
So far beneath Her feet,
As I make myself out to be?
I'm always so cold
So complimented anger
For six years running

These men have come to hear
The speech of broken hearts
I've waited so many years
To occur the words She said

"When it's al said and done
     you'll be the only one
         to ever take my heart from me
But right now I need some time
     away from all this drama
         that you claim yourself to be"

They're always at my side
Never far nor gone away
I love them for that
But Her will is so obscene
And His mind is so pristine

Occur At Once

Occurring being fearful the winter
while the mid-night minutes
by anew wake of dawn —
the snow-alike rain been falling
and the Cathedral is hollow-ringer
sudden gave off fifth pealing of belling 
and hour done announce by dawn turn,
over the semi vision bout darkness	
and through my window glass
the winter I listening 
giving a sound in torment whimper —	
and the illusion, the dreamy
and memories apart
occupying sort, my mind
the childhood and romance left moment
the school ever by a placenta winter
ever as passions area
the fountain and inspiration
a meant-up dynamic thy precious
the beauty–the greatly there
moments in life 
and by the end, I wrote
the winter I’d listened
in respond and convert ill temper
over hard fury whimpering sound
in landing in torment . . .
