Diplomats are tireless negotiators.
At table they exercise conviviality –
not for peace or harmony –
rather over caviar, champagne, and oysters.
Food, they avow, is a better panacea
than interminable diplomacea.

  An ache overflows his soul
    cries that bore deep holes

  Time skirts the crowd’s edges
    not the time, the Master alleges

  To sympathize 
    when paralyzed

  Let it go for now
    vengeance not his to avow

I am not married now,
and nevermore intend to wear a golden ring, 
nor avow

eternal bliss.
My friend, it's not an easy thing
to kiss 

again,
for it may sting
then.

I am not married now,
My friend,  it's not an easy thing
then....

Instead of the phrase, “brain freeze” at times we avow
Blurted out, “freezer burn” pointing between my brows
Wife Cathie took a fit
Convulsed quite a bit
Finally got control before the neighbours she aroused

I made a vow,
To live this year,
'Just for the hell of it'
As last year my best friend died.
Let him not in constancy,
Renege on his vow,
'He must stop now'
His death is a certainty,
He talks to the stars,
They weep for him,
Follow the master,
At the turn of the year,
He will be no more....

Happy describes how 

 All strive to feel each new day;

 Patience must avow-

 Picking times for work and play

 Yet, to balance them somehow.

Wailing thunder
 Growling sound
Clutch the earth
As you rumble aloud
ROAR!

Upon the earth
Beyond its clouds
Your frigid hands
Raucously plow
ROAR! 

Striking seas
You rampantly avow
Assailing its waves
You beset, you plough
ROAR!

Dreadful thunder
We berate to you now
With more potency
Our voices shalt make you pow
ROAR!...

It’s Valentine’s Day and I wanted to say
   from my heart with a love that’s so true.
I’m missin’ you now and to this I avow
      that I’m savin’ my lovin’ for you.

And while we’re apart, I know in my heart
   that you’re missin’ togetherness too.
But never forget, as this simple vignette,
      that I’m savin’ my lovin’ for you.

He wanted to drive a racecar-
a deed that would make him a star.
His friends would say wow-
and Mom, praise avow
for scoring top level- bizarre!

Now flashing on his radar view
a race with a Kayak would too-
Mam Hannah runs them-
each noon plans a gem!
So great if he did place in two!

Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained
Written: by Miracle Man
10-17-2019

Many people will avow,
to being risk adverse.
In discussing this point,
they often become terse.

if we can’t stick our neck out,
without undue fear.
We’ll be like the tortoise,
and not get anywhere.

Sometimes a decision,
causes life to seem bleak.
But risk is always commensurate,
with the reward we seek.

the sentence,perdition
no move to acquit
on trial for offenses
hand tailored to fit

no pardon forthcoming
a curse she proclaims
then yields up her life
to the withering flames

and yet time never ending
as crime will avow 
forever impending
from then to the now

where in uterine slumber
a shadow appears
of a spirit encumbered
with malice and fear

and it's memory burns
like the devils own den=
God no!......NOT AGAIN!!!!!...

Jesus Knows Who I Am?
Written: by Tom Wright
4/9/2018

He knows me intimately as a hard line guy,
To declare otherwise, truthfulness, I’d betray.
It’s just who I am, and past history don’t lie,
I see things in true colors, not shades of grey.

I’m always candid, calling a spade a spade,
No thoughts of procrastination do I allow.
When I try this, God must feel being played,
I must always do for Jesus what I will avow.

Your demure smile made an austere gist on my Mind…
Every time I see you, it feels you to be of my kind….

I don’t know, if it makes a contrast in your Day…
Even if I must, it’s utterly heavy to say…

I sense ardent, when find you adjacent to my bone…
Yet it’s beyond the boundaries to reach that throne…

I could just crave for you to be a chapter in my fate…
I’m waiting for the day to avow post it’s too late…

Ashamed to avow my sins,
A burden mine alone to bear,
Broken beyond repair,
Baptized in gold to fill the cracks,
Restless nights, Velour gowns turning to sacks
No amount of gold brings relief,
Debased by lies and deceit,
Beg for forgiveness,
And you shall be forgiven,
He, who knows all, saw underneath my veneer,
A pain, a woe played for deaf ears,
I beseech my lord to forgive my misdeeds abhorred,
Let my midnight scribble turn into beautiful word....

Finally Tomorrow

So it's finally tomorrow 
which I thought would never come
but here it is and so are you
my heartstrings softly hum 
with all the love you give to me
that I greedily take
to you this thing I do avow
Your heart I'll never break
I could never  get enough
these feelings soft yet strong and rough
wrap 'round me like a warm cocoon
the light shed by the Flower Moon
bathes me in your delight
I am all yours as you are mine
this love we share is quite divine

At his special place on God’s earth
He’d recapture his sense of worth
He sent a prayer to God above
Professing honest undying love
For the beauty around him now
His gratitude he did avow
The feverish sun warmed his skin
He could unwind and look within
Search deep into his soul and heart 
And mend what seemed broken apart
No matter how hard life could be 
His love for God would keep him free
For He had given him this life 
Resplendent with both joy and strife
