The Premise of Faith
I stood on top of the mountain looking at the distant that I am coming from, I see the universe swelling around me and the mass parading before me, I have never been to the mountain top but I could feel destiny resting in my lap. Life has taken on a new meaning and I

The Premise of Time
I stand on the premise of time wondering if this day will be mine, the rock is fastened into the ground and the bad weather is driven from the town and courage is onward bound. I stand on the premises of time and gazed beyond the horizon and penetrate the distance that I am coming

The Premise of Time
I wander through the premise of time, seeking for what is rightfully mine; I watch July creeps slowly through the roof and reality crawls on its behind with a message that is divine, while the fast moving clouds with its avalanche of wishes screaming a mile away hold conference with the mountain throll that kept

My Premise
So close I belong,
So close I'd stay,
Even when the clouds gather,
Even when the tempest rage,
I'd still stay close,
Where else would I go to find solace?
In whose embrace would I find comfort?
Many are my troubles,
Many are my assailants,
Though I don’t wear my heart on my sleeves,
In my chamber is a sea of turmoil,
Each day I

Unsubstantial statutory subliminal

Whose truth is sorely tested

In quiet heroes is it nested

Parker's Premise
From 1998, I was born while my existence was pronounced a fluke
Evil twin, though an age gap, I sat myself flat after physical abuse
I salute to the man who fouled my head off a saw splitter
Mad man with a given temper only persuaded my blood flow thinner
Excessive middle finger to where I pull the trigger
On

The Premise
They were sitting in an old-fashioned coffee house unraveling the beans
Little nuggets of wisdom not coated in sugar not creamed by distortion
Is the concept of minimal maxims truly axiomatic when we promise each
other to be of altruistic and selfless composure just discussing an argument
I shall buy you another round of caffeine infusion it helps to

A Convoluted Premise
A CONVOLUTED PREMISE
Do what you can is what you can do
But some seek more it's all up to you
Then it might be said "well then, just do more"
Defining more brings you back to before as an encore
Because to do more you
have to know the before
Defining exactly how much you actually did
Allows possibly going forward

Paradoxical Premise
Stands on the land of heterodox
Who's the mightiest God of all?
People live and die on their equivocation thoughts
Those who exclaimed about the God who never fall
Inversely proportional to what they always do
Who's the mightiest God of all?
Seekers, believers, heathens and philosophers with their point of view
All still seeks for the truth and uphold one they

Premise of Joy
Joy cannot be raised as though it ride the back of a song.
It is a gift and for that we should laud the giver with praise.
The heart races into overdrive as the mind fills with wonder.
Our physical and vocal constraints suddenly are unbound.
The mind and senses suddenly to a higher plane are lifted
and our reactions

Nemesis of a Premise
It's deeper than the shadows
and more shallow than the truth.
It comes despite great wisdom
and in spite of guiltless youth.
It tickles at the psyche
and it spreads a reckless rash,
it yearns for satisfaction
but the itch cannot be scratched.
The raging become victims
opposition cannot hear
and red stained resolutions
never stand to persevere.
An outburst has no power
when a temper seeks out
