Many years gone from her birth since nineteen sixty-four
With hard work she got into her stride
Trinity, in her name, expanded and gained prestige.
Intermutanda, Constantia: her motto
An implication of consistency in academic excellence
In her form is excellence prevailed
Imparture of knowledge to empty little boys
As to the Messiah's impartment to his disciples
Before leaving the Earth.
Her form as mother to her virtuous boys
Nurturing their daily school work— the best
With the fear of God excellent they go.
Ergo the performance of her boys is excellent
With regards to her belief.
In her shadow delights the success of life
With allegiance her boys return, thus,
An appreciative symbol— for the work Holy Trinity has enlightened unto them
United they come, same they go.
Trinity: the school with dignity of all schools
The Best in the country
All others seem to be better, but
Holy Trinity possesses the Best.

Life is with halves replete,
No one real thing complete,
As things gladly deplete
And these sadly repeat:
Someone could include heat
And a drunk wet soil peat
I : a rock-n-roll beat
And clothes sewn from long sheet,
Because they at last shrink
And go ahead to stink;
My prestige starts to sink…
Things have been incomplete
And often this we meet.

Emerald envy nestled on velvet
several thousand away from paid
Puce tulip promise inducement
secluded juice, palliation delayed
Ivory aspire ripped wide envelope
plump with numbered requirement
Absinthe ardent delerium implode
paper stack compiling assignment
Cerulean satin adorns a champion
swanky speculators chase plethora
Fuchcia blooming futures chiming
swindle hopeful fast hoof investors
Magenta dash magic, risky fingers
probe probable, middle of pack peril
Bronze woebegone pilfers millions
prestigious month end ear emeralds

An Amethyst is a precious stone;
A quartz with a violet tone.
The colour stays purple when cold;
Then changes when heated to a yellowish gold.
A Hebrew dream rock is an amethyst;
It symbolizes goals or just a good nights rest.
Amethyst is the stone above them all;
Ifs the twelfth foundation of New Jerusalem's wall.
Amethyst is most commonly found in Brazil;
To find an amethyst is a great thrill.

I am often asked "what makes me tick?"
I reply, KNOW THIS.
I AM the composer of my composure
I am the man in demand
I have sat many days in the dark listening
To the pouring rain
I am a mover and a shaker
Thinking of the BLOOD that THUNDERS through my veins
The consumer of contemplation
I am the complete competition
Withstanding any objection
I relish the court
I often exceed outstanding obvious excellent obligations
In truth, I blink with careful thought and precision
I choose my fights and foes with such
When my fuse is lit......
I need nothing.......
But the best of the best in their profession
Ceaselessly surrounding me
SUCCESSFULLY PERCEPTIVE
I FOCUS

Lines etch deep rhymes in poise profound,
Observe the feel as heart springs free;
Voice cast in time as echoes ground,
Explore fine will in fertile sea;
Live happy fare as blessings speak,
Yes prompts the pace to grand wonder.
Prize joy's fond stare as pleasure peaks,
Reach to embrace what mind ponders;
Express pure thought as feelings cite,
See that you see the journal page;
Trust heart to plot such gifted writes,
Insight can be the better gauge;
Grace comes to show a rapture bold,
Expound a flow as truth unfolds.

Pique fancy here as glamour dates,
Rise to the glow of dazzling daze;
Expose bright cheer with destined fate,
Surreal this show of crafty craze;
Touch of sure wit in fun foray,
Ignite sheer fire in deep desire;
Glimpse of a fit that claims portray,
Embrace and sire what fame attires.
See in good looks that abstract art,
Yes to the taste of picture plots;
Meet touch that hooks what frenzy starts,
Blaze in sheer haste that poignant spot;
Open your eyes to know what wraps,
Loiter with sighs in just a snap.

Besiege and Prestige
Without God we only get gloom
So He should be in every room
When day ends and we do part
Want to have Him in our heart
All our bodies please do besiege
With Your love and not prestige
Many people still have to this day
Always seeming to get in the way
People with prestige are a pain
Always performing and will entertain
With great egos that we all ignore
And each one does become a bore
God so gracious with Your demure
And Son who when on earth was pure
Help us while we have been on a quest
Bless us with way which will be best

Synonymous with freedom,
American liberty,
A voice to vote, political boat,
Laws of Constitutionality.
Parallel to choices,
America the brave,
A pledge to honor, a brlliant bonner,
Preamble promise gave.
Equality in History,
America deems duty,
Into the waves, all Countries crave,
This Star Spangled beauty.

Instantly, what is this?
Call the shos, make your bets!
These things come slowly,
over a long time, not "instantly",
I don't like games eih an obvious winner,
Nor magic tricks with no prestige
It's no fair to the audience
Nor the innocent volunteer
Who opened your act with hope;
Hope your show would tun out wonderfully,
Enamoured with flashing hands and flashing grins
Enamoured with the mysterious magician
Who won't even explain his wondrous act
Not even telling a magician never reveals,
But nothing at all, oblivion,
Instanly vanished, that hand of hearts,
All gone, the prestige completed
Marvelously, wonderously, climactic,
And the crowd cheers and yells,
Riotously and adoringy
But they forget to pay the mage his pennies
And the abandoned volunteer
scorned for her temerity to give herself up
Blasted for her audacity to admir
Forgotten by the mage for the most part
Except that she kept a card for herself,
When will he realise what he's missing?
Then the mage will go back to the volunteer,
And the act will be completed
Oh the audeience will roar and cry
Oh, the highest moment, the prestige
Will be utterly perfect, utterly

Pickled like gherkins in vinegar
Crystallised forever in sugar
Set and translucently Jellied ...
Hung like smoked, salted meat
Pigments crushed from earth
brushes from fine animal hair
Is it because they freeze
the sitter's image which
survived as the best image
of the sitter for millineums?
Linseed oil Egg tempera hand
mixed by devoted apprentices
Were paintings used for
communication to the viewer
Eyes moving behind the paintings..
before humans could read
or write?
To capture the likeness prior
the invention of photography?
