Blackest wings, scale higher than mountains
in the chill of tonight's air,
scarred and bleeding from within,
determined to reach her lover's side,
A voice calls out to her voyage
but her vision gets lost
as it starts to drizzle and rain.
She collides & in such pain,
her claws trying to embed in the side
of the rocks but she keeps skidding down,
and at the last moment he scoops her up
having flown down & heard her cries.
But she dies in her lover's arms,
gripping his ribs and those tearful eyes....

The older I get the more I think
Of my very last day on earth
It's almost impossible not to think about it
I'm not obsessed by it
But when I hear of all these famous people
That I've known for a lifetime
Passing away at or around my age
It makes me stop and wonder
When my final day will arrive
Will I be ready for it, will I face it
With peace and contentment for a life well lived
I can't imagine it any other way
This life of mine on a scale of one to ten
Has been off the scale!!!

Conch shell sea gem and sea snail
Horn held tone gyrates the tritonis trumpet
Note blown ending battles on a splinted scale
Epitome depictions make cameo’s regret
Emergent higher seas, onward this ship shall sail
Tidal wave warnings of an uprising onset

I fill your cup with light from sun up
till sun down with
the brightest of smiles
Don't frown when it appears you're
running on empty for
you'll be replenished
by the mile
This one life is a game over the
heads of many so listen
closely to what
I say
A man with many hats I have styles
for days one for every
arena in which
I play
I'm one with this Arcade so for
awhile it's these
numbers I'll
consume
The uptick comes in spades with
many keys until
we move to
other rooms
We're all just flowers in bloom pedaling
toward the sky while
we languish
& toil
Don't let this fill your heart with
anguish but be
full while you're
seeding this soil
You'll keep receiving the spoils
as if you were &
always born
to be the victor
Just measure your winnings with
scales & caution
while keeping an
eye on the Richter

Sometimes, a person
Is measured from neck to head
Much more, if he talks.

Stupidity's result reigns, on Englands trains, flooding in London
With disruption most dire' yet Ashford is sidlined Ebbsfleet
Was retired??
Thus must cause some Ire? Ignoring much infrastructure designed
For the best, in tourisam in buisness its not a big guess?
Laissez-faire, and we will find things likely will thrive, human
Scale; human values in each land must preside!

They say there's a first time for everything
My first time ever feeling the unsettling effects of an earthquake
Albeit, it was ONLY 5.8 on the Richter Scale
It happened during our holiday in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
We were roughly 60 km from the epicentre
But still found it a little unsettling to say the least
The locals didn't even break a sweat
They experience on average 150 of them a year
However there was definitely some rocking 'n rolling going on
At first I thought it was one of those people movers going by
Transporting folks around the resort
Then realized... YIKES!
That was a FREAKING EARTHQUAKE!!!
All's well that ends well
And I'm still alive to tell my tale!
Great place to vacation but you wouldn't wanna live there!

I do love you all
on an equal scale,
I'm ready to tell another beautiful tale;
many times before,
I held it inside and hesitated to call...
too afraid to share!
These words area hard to say with thrill,
I wasn't given love and felt cheated by life;
I'm changing all that with a stronger will,
who can bribe fate and not pay the prize?
I'm certain that some of you may ask,
how I do love you all on an equal scale;
did one understand my long silence,
or how I showed affection trough a mask?
Take a better look at me, feel empathy,
I do love you all on equal scale,
gather around me, I'm shouting an apology;
all feelings were lost in a big bale
of paper only written down, never whispered!
I do love you all on an equal scale:
don't ask yourself how I suffered and bled!
I do love you all
in an equal scale,
forget my mindlessness,
I'll make up for my loss;
I do love you all
on a equal scale!

The bizarre scene when Earth has been pressured
And on Richter Scales this can be measured:
When the immovable readily quake,
Not a single hard rock failing to shake…
A punishment too familiar to Japan
At a period hitting her like a pan.
Often her feared National Tragedy
She’d kept devising a ‘Stop Strategy!
How preventable it was ‘Quite Doubtful!
Whenever it struck whisky a mouthful…
The matched with Virulent Epidemic,
Cruelest act of God to Academic:
Wars orchestrated by commando…
Habitations could look like Dog’s Breakfast,
High Death Tolls asking for Religious Fast:
No longer wise raising brick houses,
Better rooms as light as today’s blouses…
Not a thing she could contain with Judos;
The day Judo does, by all means Kudos…

That day, I was on my scale, thought I was fat?
Till I realized, i was holding two, five pound cats!
Scales are deadly, for women, it is proven true.
Use a tape measure instead, to be gorgeous you.
Mens’ weight, seems to move as easily as a cloud.
While ours seems immovable, like an iron clad shroud.
My despicable scale was put away in a deep, dark closet.
I measured my body parts, got thin, so do try it?
Went from a size sixteen to a size seven?
Was so grateful and thought I really was in heaven!
It’s been thirty seven years of pure bliss.
I think my tape measure deserves a honorable kiss.
Your fork, must alas, be given a long rest.
Leaving the table, and exercise, is a character test!

Promised myself, today would be a goodie
On a scale of good to bad
Some days are diamonds, some days are stone
Yesterday wasn't as good as I've had
So many things can turn it around
That really seem unimportant
Like cheery hellos from neighbours and friends
Small things are just reinforcement
For life to turn out the way you envisioned
Is up to each one of us it seems
To choose the right path and stay on the track
The result will be sugar and cream
That's not to say there won't be some times
The choice won't be yours to make
Those days are common and unavoidable
Just remember a deep breath to take
They're usually only momentary glitches
In our everyday manner of things
Just try to remember to keep a positive outlook
Won't be long till it's once again spring

Frighten being full of bright scale
Treated legend like Holy Grail
Kept from all story for all times
With wings like angels silver lines
Wake like demons with screeching sound
Chained down like slaves that are bound
In dungeons, realm, and ocean star
With size, rich, gold, and avatar
The focus is hidden within
Walking among committing sin
Pain sorrow because of immorals
Living long among the immortals
Down came angels and up demon realm
Faught celestial that angered them
Ground breaking with danger effect
Never understand not unchecked
Cursed eternity as a whole
Comes their world with a large hole
Decade, Century, a life time
They were slaughtered for their crime
These beings called only for power
Hide among the people and cower
With rare traits passed all to their kin

this last step...
protruding veins under the skin,
the other imperfections
and these eyes,
from distance.
scaly is the word for it,
brittle skin.
it's not good,
evokes the relentless of time.
it is always destruction that rushes swiftly.
skin,
in this case ex-home.
the color looks gray,
but it is condition.
something that would be solemn in books,
but utterly brutal in reality,
because to the touch it conveys a sense of end.
just scales,
fur or feathers,
nothing flies,
when the emissaries of never arrive,
the last step is like a bird's
that without wings
crawls to survive.
