racing wind ignores clothes
freezing thoughts in sudden pain
ignored for stubborn gain...

nobility provides 
empty spaces 
where true life 
opens the doors
to a solid meaningful
adjustment for crime
and punishment...

I awaited a 
chance in adjustment
and in time,
was uplifted 
int a tune 
of the universe.
Now I can feel
a force of action
Strongly of time....

Quite philosophical lately, don't understand
Not that brilliant, just a simple minded man
Made an adjustment
Knowledge is abundant
Think I'll travel the country teaching from a van...

So, where is all that oil?
Please, share if you know!
Is there a camera to foil?
Let the world see the show
Living beyond our everyday
Can soon present a problem
Adjustment is the only way
May we all help solve them...

To those trying to vex me I must say, "I don't mean to be rude,
But you need to make an adjustment to your appalling attitude."

Sacrifice is greater than Love..... 
Character is greater than Beauty.....
Humanity is greater than Wealth..... 
Adjustment is better than Argument.....
But NOTHING is greater than TRUST.....

No one wants to go out of own sphere
                                           Set theory is best for assimilation
                                        The best way is the adjustment of life
                                        to live life of compromised combination...

reprehensible 
         his unwanted advances ~
man of bad repute 

uncouth behavior 
          sexual harassment ~
cat-calling women 

brings shame upon self 
          needs attitude adjustment ~ 
simply obnoxious...

when exactly was it
you admitted
your life wasn't going to turn out
like you thought it would?

never again could you look at yourself in the mirror
and see yourself
all the adjustment in the world
couldn't banish the fact
that it didn't turn out
and there was
no
time 
left

for
another
go at it....

Simple sleep
Such intimacy
One leg over
Chest pressed
Head to lip
Smelling hair
A twitch
Adjustment
Quietly cold
Calm isolation
Body curls
Shoulders covered
Head to chest
Hear a tick
A flutter
Attachment
Protective pull
Pure intent
Arms sink
Hips pressed
Head to cheek
Taste of salt
A sigh
Arousal...

Adjustment in life gives relief
                                                as seen in mathematics 
                                             where one is divided by nine 
                                               can't be made equal to one 
                                                    multiply by nine...

Stimulation my desire till my battery runs low.
Disturbed thoughts are frequent before i journey to my sanctuary.
Queen's pain descends my resting heart.
As bright white flickers hazel.
The good one is crossed with Hall standing tall.
Darkness is here following adjustment without tools.
Time is fleeting i won't seal the lid too soon....

Book
there is in the mind of thought
untold, unseen
powerful engineer of life
comes timely
in the perspective of life
like the pure buddy
like the loving child
like the scholastic old
like the experimental theory
it comes to us
but need some
refinery
adjustment
adaptability
let the life be a light of book

Love, laughter and learning
The one with whom you can agree to disagree
Sweet yearning

Partners for life
Loving each other is the key
Man-wife

Transcend
from me to we
Blend

Love, laughter and learning
A li'l adjustment is the key

In the faint blue night
That is start of ominous
There is a rough scene
one twisted time frame
Neither day nor night counts here.

These few times are here
It seems to have bump to ours
Trice of adjustment
before night quite covers all
and sun sets on our stay here.

Wonder pranced forth
Took me by surprise
Whirled me and twirled me
Shaking me out of my doldrums

Enthusiasm threw me in the air
Imagination caught me 
Joy laughed at my confusion
Delight shook me out of my mediocracy

All happened as I gazed
at my new grandson
The world was once again
a place for happiness and excitement.

A new mindset
A new day
A new baby.
Just the attitude adjustment I needed....

October, the privilege to cast off once more,
The thirty-first, get ready to dock once more,
No need to continue within the scholastic helm,
The adjustment of sails lay with the dominant realm,
Throughout the year, 
embark upon the songs of our history,
Unfettered towards the shores of diversity.

The wrath in a template is not always exact in proportion,
but derives a magnitude at source of vibration that echoes to alter
so none wear a halter and one must not falter when faced with the flame of adjustment.

Symbolic shaming stifling sicknesses. 
And a great weight removed through release.
Fire forms freeing.
And a multitude of iron ore sitting in a bowl is thankful
for the altering
path.

Response came from nowhere...

Close up, secrets uncovering
I find myself hovering over
a modern, optical microscope
Out of focus (coarse adjustment)
Blurred image corrected,
revealing… clear-felled trees?
Sharper detail (fine adjustment)
Microscope mesmerizing as colors burst
Scale thickness less than 0.55 micron
Small rake angle and smoothness
implies low friction coefficient
Light permanence even, shadowless—
Finest quality from Istanbul
Wish I had a roomful...

Sleepy set of eyes
Awoke to write 
A little blurry they still type 
Through a sleepy set of eyes
Blinking once blinking twice
These eyes adjust
Helping to read and think
Sinking each word into works 
Beginning to see the envisioning
Of a poem forming 
Adjustment period of sleepy eyed me
Moment when I awake for clarity
To blink once, blink twice then three
Clearing all blur from sleepy eyed me

I was lost tryna find life's key
Befuddlement
Thinkin' the world needed to love G
A Monument
My vision was still cloudy, see?
Poor Judgement
My daddy wasn't proud of me
He Wasn't
Attention rushed in like a flowing sea
Too Abundant
Including bloodsuckers like riding fleas
Too Indulgent
Fell down surrounded by my life's debris
Took Adjustment
Tryna change and grow... reached out to HE
A New Covenant
And my Daddy has forgiven me
Benevolent
