Premium Member Defining Red

Red:  A Definition 

Primary and indispensable.
Intuitively felt as warm, never cold.
Romantic in its nature with body and depth.
Wafting sentience from a glass,
Willing drama to a bedroom.
Regaled as royalty by nature,
Often reduced by perception.
Best known and least understood.
Loyal, virtuous, the keeper of secrets,
The orator of life,
The measure of love.

Jesse Duarte - Not the Usual Activist

Jesse Duarte
Muslim South African
Dead just before age 68
Best known as antiracism fighter
Along with Mandela
That generation is dead, it's over
Self-serving "ANC activists & comrades" remain
To steal and blame (minorities)

II
Jesse was eloquent; loyal leader & 'spokesman'
"Diminutive woman;" Dedicated warrior
Never about herself
She died today
Will be buried today
Now, her religion shows

Shauryan My Dear Nephew 1

Among all there is a wholesome son.
His name, we feel pride in, Shauryan.
On 20 November was the jewel born.
So precious that all want him as a pawn
But parents not ready to give for scone.
Without looking at him there’s no dawn
Chess playing at different levels is on.
All are sure of his ability family to conn
In a perfect direction without any con.
He is the best known and virtuous icon
Wishing best for his overall solon.

Mcgavin

(Dedicated to Darren McGavin who died February 25, 2006.)

You were a great actor, this is true.
You had many fans who miss you.
You were best known as the father in A Christmas story but now you're dead.
You'll still be remembered during the years ahead.
You guest starred in Murder she wrote and in Grace under fire.
You were one hell of a guy who was admired.
Saying goodbye wasn't an easy thing to do.
People will always love you.

Manage Thoughts

Manage Thoughts

Heartfelt mixture of imagination.
Much to reason, a humbling experience.
Held back with another.
Lowered senses of woes.
Only rain make its' due.
Invite anew, and with genuine affects, softly speaks.
Here for idle depiction of a masquerade.
By chance, a laughing fellow knows his own deception.
Best known for amiable speech, a gaunt dissatisfaction.
Repartee, starch and meaningless to elaborate.
