How much easier is it so see the beauty in the world
If we happened to be blessed…
first with the ability to see
the beauty we possess.
Catch-22
If I say I love you
I’m too possessive.
If I fail to say I love you
I’m not romantic enough.
If I work twelve-hour days
I don’t spend enough time with you.
If I only work four-hour days
I don’t show enough ambition.
If I discipline the children
I’m too harsh.
If I don’t discipline the children
I’m too lax.
If I suggest we go on a date
I’m to frivolous.
If I suggest we just stay at home
I’m too cheap.
If I want to be intimate
I’m oversexed.
If I’m not in the mood
I’m not a good lover.
If I want to be spur of the moment
I’m too impulsive.
If I want to plan
I’m too overly cautious.
I can’t win for losing.
I’m in a catch-22.
"I love words, because they're mine. Utterly, completely mine. I can share them with others. I can keep them to myself. I can use them over and over again. No matter what I do, they'll always be mine. No one can take them away from me." - Parker S. Huntington
Penniless and powerless
Naught is utterly mine,
'Cept one significant thing
That shall never be thine
Take thee my happiness
Take thee all my time,
Still, I hold the words
And I possess the rhyme
For poetry, thou cannot claim
Be I alive or be I dead,
Naught is utterly mine
'Cept thine words thee read.
To Possess Progress and Success Poetry Soup
Do what you can,
Execute your plan,
For an eternal span,
Try wisely dear man.
Trying alone is great,
To enter fame's gate,
Blame not that fate,
Which Angels hate.
Success is possible,
If efforts you double,
May come trouble,
Feel not so feeble.
Sweats attract success,
Magic, they possess,
They bring progress,
If efforts are vigorous.
Go on the right track,
Exercise your knack,
Nuts you can crack,
God is there to back.
Only when you try,
Failures will die,
if your eyes cry,
Tears, who will dry.
Become a master,
Wisely administer,
Guts, you muster,
To halt disaster.
Choice is yours,
Vote for cheers,
Prefer not fears
That fetch tears.
In your control
Is your soul,
Play a wise role
That will console.
Go ahead my dear,
Victory is very near,
Hope is also here,
Fine atmosphere!
Happiness is in our control
We can get it, if we want
We must play a positive role
We mustn't think we can't
We mustn't lose our hope
We must for a way look out
Our mind must finely cope
Without having any doubt
If we are always optimistic
To find out a proper solution
And try by being enthusiastic
We can complete our mission
If we steadfastly go forward
To achieve our golden goal
Success will be delivered
To console kindly our soul!
Careful what you wish for
Wise advice wasted on fools.
I recognize the danger signs
Yet rush in most willingly.
If only I’d be satisfied
In this blissful state of longing.
What’s sweet far exceeds
The aftertaste of bittersweet.
So why tempt fate with games
And long to possess your heart.
It’s best not to seek fulfilment
I don’t know why, I can’t say why.
I wish I could just hover in eternity
Dangle in suspended animation.
Hovering midway between here and there
And not take for granted this state of bliss.
Be freed of longing, somehow and forever.

"Earth has no power of its own,
Its power proceeds from My throne.
No one, and nothing, share in-
The wild flowers of Sharon.
Nimrods have no power of their own,
Their power proceeds from My throne.
No one, and nothing, share in-
The budding rod of Aaron.
You are not secure in unbelief,
For barren souls get no relief.
Whatever flowers will surely spoil,
No lasting benefit for your toil.
I own the places of blessing,
Walking by faith means possessing.
Conflicts arise along the way,
But faith overcomes the dismay.
Get off that whitewashed fence,
Leaving your place of residence,
Journey through the way I will show,
Fields where faith will bloom and grow.
You do not determine the outcome.
Just know that I am never outdone!
Greater things than these you'll see,
When faith secures the victory!
Believers have no power of their own,
Their power proceeds from My throne.
No one, and nothing, stop them-
From possessing My kingdom."
A world of varieties
To be developed
And to be chosen at random
The materialistic world flourishes
The commercial activities activate
The youngsters herald the changes
The currencies flow in and out
In a world of varieties
Everyone is pursuing the materialistic world iof varieties
And so money is the only target for hardworks and ambitions
To buy and possess abundantly
Varirties
In this world of varieties
What we will possess
access to all assesses
about obsesses
what we have possessed
access to what is assessed
have often abscessed
by a thing passes
ate pancakes with much molasses
now passing gasses
Docile Apostle Who Became Hostile
did know of docile
Trump won was told by apostle
We became hostel
L-ife is wonderful,
B-eautiful faces abound,
R-emain pure inside.

A-ppreciate what you possess,
Q-uest not nor desire for greed;
U-nder the sky you must be
E-xemplar of life to
L-ead.
M-ake God feel recognized,
O-n the strength He has given;
R-un not for naked ambition,
A-lways let your mind open.
L-et your heart be satisfied,
L-et God see your kindness;
O-n Friday February ninth,
S-imply appreciate what you possess.
Always possess a strong will
In order to get yourself through
Lift your chin upward
Be great at what you do
The challenge awaits you
You can be a success
Show your gratitude
And aim for excellence
Possess Some Humility
Have ability,
To possess humility;
But senility!!!

What magic doth new love possess
That tempts the moon at night,
To warmly glow, and fully so,
With beams of velvet light?
That gives the heart the will to smile,
And the sparrow, feathered wings--
What magic doth new love possess,
To achieve such lovely things?
