Skirts
With comforts,
Hollandia Yoghurt flirts...
Before each tongue diverts,
From the usual that alerts,
The change to an impromptu concerts,
In different stages of many a song asserts
Except for the atmospheric dive,
Our faces depict the shared skirts
Without sweet scents, breaths hive
Swaying gallant statues in style alerts
High concentrated inebriant consumed
Took our legs lightly easy leaning back
Subjected to change of hits well costumed
Our voices disown its pitches to its crack
Introduce us to the people we know not
And we mingle like been known for ages
It wasn't true but lively moment grown hot
Speaking truthful lies unlike most sages
Happiness
Staged liveliness
Interrupt able orderliness
And introduce apt funniness
In order to promote calmness
Actively seeking to warm night dizziness
Through the beauty of tease staggering fitness
Of our hearts pouring out raw felicity's queasiness
Orderliness is
A secret to cleanliness,
Like royal highness.
Abiding by the rules I comply
Believing they help every gal and guy…
Consider my excuse not a foolish alibi
Duty-bound, to policies I rely...
Efficient and effective driver can’t deny
Following orders does intensify
Great orderliness upon avenues long and high
Hoisting peacefulness midst traffic-caused sigh…
I am so sorry; please forgive my attempt to fly
Just to beat the deadline, verily nigh…
Kindness I ask; “You’re pardoned!” may you reply
Laws to observe and fulfill; never to defy…
My heart seeks conflict-resolution; yes I try
Now, thanking God’s intervention of prayer* ally...
Optimistically learning lesson on obedience, thereby
Paying fines by the Lord's supply.

I started out believing there was but
one church which had the truth, and only one.
However, I felt always in a rut.
By mid-life – with religion I was done.
Too many ideologies exist!
It makes no sense, for all cannot be true.
There’s one thing that I feel can’t be dismissed -
there is a “Someone” who loves me and you
all equally. I see Him and I feel
Him in earth’s beauty and the souls of those
who do good works. I know that He is real.
The orderliness of creation shows
a Master is behind it all! I know
one day in death, my soul will homeward go.

I stare at your face every blessed day
The illumination of your smile makes my day everyday
The orderliness of your white diamonds leads my way everyday
I don't take alcohol because you so much intoxicate me
The wave of your love is mightier than that of the wave of a stormy ocean
The passion that comes with it is a consuming fire
No wonder your appearance sets my nerves on fire
And your touch feels like the embrace of a naked wire
My needs and wants may be numerous, but I have only one desire
Which is you
All my thoughts are about you
Not just because I am in love with you
But because I cherish you
I value you
I appreciate you
And above all else, password, I unconventionally love you.
Optimizing freedom zest
Challenging mother’s tidiness best
My son whirls himself around
Oblivious that he’s wheel-chair bound.
Loosening mobility gear
His spastic hands hurl things everywhere
Zooming beyond glee’s ecstasy
He’s waged war against my mess-flee policy.
Entangled around disarray’s coil
My mind screams, devoid of nagging turmoil
Special child now wins over distress bouts
Ending my heart chaos by his delightful shouts.
*Resolved to blend patience and might
I'm glad to see kid's milestone-height
To God I give my thanks** and praise
For His enabling grace midst orderliness-race.*

*Last stanza added on November 25, 2019.
**1Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
The everyday project is to continue the extreme task of survival
waking up every morning to the bad reality that it may be the last
holding unto this hint, the greatest wisdom to acquire.
Community of birds and a den of serpents confined in one farm;
Cougars, deadly and voracious to the assembly of cayotes;
Cayotes hunting the raccoons and in turn the eels in same habitat.
This cruel side of nature has been instinctively adopted by humans
where virtues and feelings develop cannibalistic canines.
Evil then grows obese in the mind but yet not satisfied
bully and intimidation, openly infused into the town’s planning
for different illegal lords to gallivant with their cabinets,
when those at the top stop giving lawlessness a dime
and close the run way through which impunity cat-walks,
then orderliness will be restored for humanity to have a bath.
God opens doors toward
service opportunities showing His:
...omniscience along His plan
...omnipotence with His power
...omnipresence thru His purpose
...orderliness by His programs
...ordinances upon His precepts*
...orders under His providence
...offers around His progress.
*Psalms 119:159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.

That
you could
be born and
then die without
real purpose is not
an ideology
I can believe in. Too much
of creation’s orderliness
and beauty is proof of this to me.
Have you never felt an inner knowing?

Must
bring
order
to my mind,
my household, my life.
Each step builds on what came before.
Start small, add rise-and-shine routines, plus night-time habits.
Watch for amazing results in a short span of time for achieving orderliness!
We both came
Each alone
One before the other
Like the orderliness of God's seven days
Joyful cries and happy tears
Casts we had become
On this stage
Created in seven days
We thought our part simple
For the script looked easy
When actual acting began
The childish folly died
At six and seven - teen
Things fell apart
Meeting in school
Things got complicated
The scenes and acts seemed long
And in no time
We had grown all grey
Playing flashbacks in our memory
The grave beckoning
And could we resist?
Six feet under we went
Amidst sorrowing
Darkness hovered over us
And our replacements asked
Up or down
Where went we.
Good leadership and oneness
Prosperity and equity in all Aspect
Peace and orderliness in absence of injustice
Terrorist free country,
Subject to her responsibilities.
