Ounce Of Hate
Ounce Of Hate
Miracle Man
11/3/2024
It takes an ounce of hate to ruin a person,
left unchecked, most always, we see it worsen.
Many that hate wonder where it got its start,
until hearing God’s whisper, it’s from the heart.
Hate isn't natural, but is something taught,
It’s things a child sees and hears, that causes fraught.
At early ages, children don't know

An Ounce Of Sweet
Cinnamon dreams aren’t spun with sugar;
Far too spicy for an ounce of sweet,
they are swirled with a magical purr;
Hearing buttery speech you’ll infer
it’s much more than a sumptuous treat;
Cinnamon dreams aren’t spun with sugar;
Not too much glut is what you prefer;
On this diet you’re able to cheat,
they are swirled with a magical purr;
Somewhat of

Comes a gentle knock on my ego

21 Gms Or Three Quarter of An Ounce
Just soul of 3 quarters of an ounce:
Exist in earthly body,
Accomplish planned tasks,
Generate energy and leave;
Endure pain and joy,
During all my life;
Negative and positive both prevail,
React to ambiance surrounding mine,
Life was full of joy and sorrow,
Until I relinquished the body;
Caring friends and kins,
All accompanied up to burial,
Tears in eyes, gesturing bye;
But

What I'D Like To Give You, Is An Ounce of My Perfume
What I'd Like To Give Is An Ounce Of My Perfume
By R. Henderson
What I'd like to give you, is an ounce of my perfume..
Or so to speak..
An aroma like many others is what I shall bequeath.
The air stirs as it consumes all the space above and all beneath.
The enchantments allure called like a siren

What I'D Like To Give You Is An Ounce of My Perfume
fragrance of yesteryears distilled from heartache and joy
mixture of entropy and cohesion scented in hopeful aroma
sweat from wanderlust of adventure
tears from emotional advancement
blood of hard work’s injuries over time
fears contained and turned into vigour
petals ground into an effusion of love
a medley of rose-tinted lenses and reality’s patched spectacles
a truth serum of honesty kindness and

An Ounce of My Perfume
What I'd like to give you, is an ounce of my perfume
place it gently on your skin as if we were just cloned
I'd like to breathe you in exhale your ebullient fumes
smoke you with my hungry eyes and comb
you with my passions, beneath scented wrists and arms
you'd be my

A Champions Retirement
His retirement the champion announced,
After he was in their fight trounced,
And like a tennis ball bounced…
On him had his challenger pounced,
His strength not letting him use an ounce,
And forcing him to hit the canvas, not once!
Soon, the press,
To painfully address,
And meekly renounce,
All that he did archly pronounce…
The cruelest punch finally goes to rest,
For being no

Salvation By the Ounce
Salvation by the Ounce
David J Walker
Gold must be the stuff
Of which the Cup of Christ
is made of
Its value supererogatory
Its bearings veiled
It's content cryptic and obscure
Unknown to hunger
The clean men
In white shirts
are the anointed guides
Meditating and navigating
By starlight
While the beggar's cup is empty
Except for the noise of

Ounce of Prevention
Does wearing a mask make you ill?
Are you a social distancing hater?
Then imagine how you'd feel
Being put on a ventilator

An Ounce of Compassion
An ounce,
Of compassion in practice,
Rates more than a ton of love
In theory, in God's eyes!

Cancer Takes Every Ounce of Strength
A cup of courage
Would not be enough
A gallon of courage?
Not even a start
We need a room full of courage
So we enlist our friends, relatives and church family
Because cancer takes every ounce of strength we have
