When feeding a family of four

From  a 16-inch terrarium

The secret is to eat less, not more

Or build a seafood aquarium...

Voodoo cryptograms
were the mirrors
alleviating all that is
bred of elementary nature
having spaked in tones
that could quake the bones
fashioning humanity’s frame
furnished by deathly tales...

Hands are for healing,
Alleviating, soothing,
Balms for calming,
Gently restoring,
Curative hands, 
From many lands,
To salve and ease,
Free remedies,
Hands for comforting,
Hands are for healing....

They are the softeners
Voicing breezy sweet.
Alleviating all at once
Living; and its heat.

Softeners; strengtheners;
Shady tree's head-rest!
Dulling the twin pains beneath;
World's; its hard-fought test....

With every passing day
I am mindfully (learning)
Growing in many ways.

With every passing moment
I am sorrowfully (happily)
Thinking about all that sways me.

With every passing year
I am gradually (alleviating)
Healing myself of my fears....

Platonically sentimental I feel.
Fondly my soul is smiling.
Gratefully believing you’re real.
Deeply my mind is thinking.
Freely expressing what I feel.
Gradually my spirit is alleviating.
Spiritually connected, so real.
Intuitively my being is awakening....

calming his nerves
his art shows his truth
taking his pain into other realms

his inspiration comes from many directions
alleviating his sorrows
enhancing his joys

his art is a reflection of
what is working in his life
and in his mind

feelings showing their truth
soothing him
keeping him company...

J'aime la vie…I love life, with all that it brings
Alleviating the jarring pain of potholed roads
Labour uphill, thankful for easy descents, 
Observe the rules, most watchful for red lights
Plagued at times by ailments, wear and tear
Yet, like a defiant aging car, I chug on and on.

As the spirit left the body
It ventured towards the light
Never thinking it would have to choose
Whether to go left or right

Standing at a  crossroads in the afterlife
A choice between glory and doom
A heavenly choir sings 
As eternal joy looms

The choice then becomes quite clear
As you choose the path that's right
Alleviating all your fears
As you journey into light

On this December night
She’ll succumb to the animal
The curse taking control
Alleviating all her pain
No holy water can take away her gift
Carnivorous tendencies
No silver bullets can kill her
As she sleeps with sheep blood on her fur
Hey she wolf
Why do you howl for me
Hey she wolf
Why do you dance in the moon light
Leave me with your taste
Give me a night I will never forget
Surrounded with the smell of scented pines
Beware she’ll be lurking...

I write the wrongs upon the page
To see how wrong it feels
Scribbles that seem to last forever
A hurt that never heals
Happy venting
demented joy
A space that is my own
A place that can call my home
To never feel alone
The words I write so proud and bright
Alleviating stress
Impressive posture impacting people
A pleasant subtle mess
Once the pen has spoke my heart 
I sit back and rest
And let the words untie the tangle
To leave me feeling blessed...

The sweetest thing that ever happened to me
Is very easy to determine.
There is a tie though, of two things, you see
alleviating pandemonium.

When I got married was definitely the first
To get my heart a pumping.
But when I first held my babies, each one,
man that was really something. 

I can’t convey the feelings I have inside,
I just don’t know the whys,
Words aren’t adequate to fully describe
why tears just flooded my eyes.
