Seldom-
Sporadically rarely and infrequently
Everything unveiling distant undisclosed
Longing recollections laurals
Divisive and unaccessible
Occasionally now and then modifying strangely rare done almost never
Melancholy missing motivation inseparable

Crystalized Seldom
Spirals of dazzling lights stars dance in rythmic patterns Laughing gaily
to the world Vortex of wonderous possibilities shining beams rainbows
of brilliance water reflecting in crystalized seldom trees lush with life
as the water smiles to the world saying embrace everything and everyone
then see what its all worth the buildings faces down below were as pale as

Seldom Prayer
Sir God,
It's me again,
You already know what I want to say,
But allow me put it this way,
Our genesis is different,
But the destiny is the same.
We all must rest,
We'll die and go to unknown land,
A place only known to the departed,
Not even the worldly majesties,
Will escape it.
Do not give me many years,
Like those of Methuselah,
I not

Silence
Silence, when fills my mind,
random words tend to make sentences.
Sentences seldom having an actual reason to be made at all.
Do they?? No. Then why do they spawn.?
To shush the loud silence that birthed them all.

A Dish Dished Out, Seldom Tried
Let me publish a book, I thought,
And soon His divine blessings sought.
Bless me God that it’s received well,
And in markets makes a marked spell.
Forget it, my innocent child,
He said, desist from dreaming wild.
If put on poetry sites’ stead,
Be content if some do get read.
You know, e’en I’ve been a failure—
A slight till today

Prayers God Seldom Hears
Dear God, protect me from Evil
Particularly the Evil I might cause.
Dear God, this is what I want to do
Please tell me why I should not do it.
Dear God, these are the sins I committed by doing the wrong thing
Please tell me the sins I committed by not doing the right thing.
Dear God,

Seldom Did They Burn
On frozen lands
Did our home lie
Its chimney full of smoke
And heat inside
Kept us alive
While our father spoke
Come here children
Gather around
And hear what I must say
It’s cold outside
So please don’t cry
In here you all must stay
Now I must go
Beyond these walls
The mine won’t mine itself
So please be safe
And pray this day
Unless the ice does melt
He donned

Cry of the Night Is Seldom Heard
Cry of the night is seldom heard
When ailing heart's silent tears fall,
Muffling sound of voices unheard
Trapping her behind callous wall.
When choice is stark, facing soul dark
Cry of the night is seldom heard
As dreams deferred squander the mark
And bawl of love remains interred.
Enduring pain, feelings are stirred,
If no one dares to sound alarm
Cry of the night

Seldom Cries No Tears Got Jesus Now On the Inside---
SELDOM CRIES NO TEARS GOT JESUS NOW ON THE INSIDE---
Seldom do I cry;
I know not why;
Tears do try;
To come by'
So I think about the grace ful one;
And get my mind stay on Him the Son;
In my mind;
Alone
I shall no longer mourn
I cry aloud
No tears shall I shed
I cry aloud
Never more will I bled
Oh, the

Opportunity Seldom Knocks Twice
A-lmost not knocking twice,
L-ittle chance hides in the dark;
E-xtraordinary thing is necessary,
X-factor is needed to walk in the park.
C-hance knocks only once,
A-t the door of forever;
S-imply grab the opportunity,
T-wenty-first morn October.
I-n the window of hope
L-ies the ray from sunrise;
L-et your hand hold the moment,
O-pportunity

Seldom Blue
Seldom blue
Tangent grays covered in orange blossoms
Scantly covered branches leaves left open
Scarlet velvet jasmine dew suspended in mid flair
The aroma of latent summer breeze
Lemon lily lilac treasures
Up high caught up in cotton wood trees
Roses thorns pricks the hands that feed me
Array displayed ever so colorful
Purple dandelions
Gray lavenders blacks
Varies brown orange hues
I've given you many
