Soldiers Should Be Promptly Paid
Off was triggered a rebellion
And it was by a Battalion:
Troopers stampeding like stallion -
More than lost was Hundred Million;
Someone checked it: A Half Billion!
Some day might notch up, A trillion.
The contents of art Bank’s Bullion,
Each soldier’s stirred mind cast-iron
Of his own Devil – A scion…
I guessed what they’d stirred up-Trouble,
Whirlwind from sown

Mad meets sad
Things turn bad
Lots of pain
Rain in vain
Words grind halt
Drown new malt
Times hurl gall
As tears fall
Strokes bleed pain
Loss swirls drain
Feel the gist
Loss floods list

with your

you raise me
up from a child
to a man
beginning
over again

i am the

raising the riser
for you to step higher

with wires
pulling you into

Promptly
Feel time stroke
Touch that pokes
Bear each yoke
Watch word wit
String bold fit
Set odd hits
Heed strange gaze
In odd maze
Mind owns craze
Sense ***** notes
As touch votes
In old quotes
Feel change trace
Lines on face
In old space
In the end
Round the end
Loss feeds grand

Start deep art:
Live with heart
Know true soul:
Just feel whole
Purge mind games:
Know true fame
Be at peace:
Love funds ease
Know full well:
True love tells
Faith sculpts hope:
Soul feels scope
Dream big here:
Bloom grand spheres
In due time:
Watch buzz rhyme
Chimes move more:
Frame deep core
Be good then:
Love ascends
Speak words kind:
Heart moves mind
Promptly be:
Joy you see

Rain
Greets pain
Not in vain
Wit
Now fits
Such odd bits
Touch
Greets such
In brief nudge
Stress
Moves less
In calm dress
Hope
Now scopes
As faith copes
Friend
Know grand
Fest that trends
Wet
You get
As rain sets

My dear, can you hear
How well silence speaks?
It's clear, have no fear,
Watch stern poise now peaks.
Note then, do you feel
How well silence dwells?
That's when, your hurts heal,
Touch where no voice tells.
My dear, do you know
How well silence grips?
Calm cheer, prompt feel shows,
Feel moves inner trip.

Steal sweet sights
Bear blooms bright
Sight swift streams
Dust day dreams
Make mind move
Glimpse grand grooves
Lift lines loud
Prick pride proud
Spread sound sight
Reap rich rides
Touch your treats
Set sweet streaks
Prize pure play
Note nude nay

Play pokes promptly
Craft claims clearly
See sensuous signs
Bid breathless bind
Smell soothing stench
Drape dazzling drench
Size succinct style
Ply profound pile
Moody mind moves
Glimpse gaudy grooves
Crude clumsy choice
Protest plots poise
Stretch salty sip
Promptly prize pip

Live well with cheer
And dare face fear;
Joy lives right here
With poise most clear.
Love all you meet
On life's harsh streets;
Let cheer now greet
With true peace sweet.
Be kind to all
Who come to call;
For big and small
Must bear life's gall.
Start with your heart
To live love's art;
Discern and start
As love imparts.
Start where you end
Around the bend;
Be a true friend
And
