Grasping a plot 
from my store of meddles
I spread, 
near the sink, 
verbs and nouns
I've found.
Cleaving each 
to a size
then heated derive
a fragrant misty theme.

   . . .to be continued. . ....

Was your heart,

           woven from the ant-artic circle?

        Did your speech derive from the bitterness

   of the deaf-adder, which is'nt moved by the charmers

                                  charm?...

SURVIVE
Life is always a challenge that we can't survive
Are you wanting me to be dead or alive
Nothing can deter my commitment to derive
Let's do our best, always, and strive

The caterpillar’s name can be 
traced back to antiquity.
To the ancient Romans, in fact. 
It reminded them of a “hairy cat.”
That’s because “cat” and “hairy”
derive from “cattus” and “pelosus” –
just thought you’d like to know this....

Now
I derive a daring sanity
Out of a timely sacrifice 
of self
Who else would 
trouble thought with the logic
That lies entrusted
to the selfless endearment 
of other
A compassionate redemption
of emptiness

Now
What happens to time
at the tragic end
of all...
Forever......

Dear Friends,

I am here to elude you. I derive from your
effervescent pain. But you wont ever see me 
coming, not till it's too late. Did you
taste that? It was , what you say.."bittersweet".
And your heart, what shall it do now?

Forever Yours,
Lies

Supposition....speculation,
fruit of Eden's cultivation....

the pair now share knowledge fare....

Vine to tree,bud to flowered fruit
continued refinement from beginning shoots........

Thy own bright eyes
Truth and beauty 
Shall together thrive

But from thine eyes 
My knowledge of love
I shall derive.

Bereft and torn
Thy tortured heart and soul 
Within my gentle hands
Mended; 
and alas made whole

So shall I live, 
Supposing thou art true, 
Sweet love, 
Thy force renew...

I derive great pleasure when I vote 

My feelings of what is best for my Union are taken note

Democracy emits a great light

The effect while waiting,will come to light

Amidst much consternation reveals a greater Independent Nation

One can only shine in its after-glow

And revel in the seeds it sows...

Here are the mistakes, I am sorry
We are poor, but hope full...nothing to worry
now that your with Jane...forget not Dorry

In it all we would derive pin in the end
...glory features pin, patient and understanding of faith...

Easy Money

Buy now, pay later.

You’ve got credit!
We’ve got debt.

Let’s swap.

It’s how we derive
With asset backed securities

For your house equities

To burrow into your burdens
Our financial inequities

Those company bonuses

As we put you into minuses!
Buy now pay later, so they tell us

Like what comes out of anuses....

Plain useless I say, plain useless every day
The fight to find the value in reality
Yet onward we drive passions purpose to derive
Finding mostly only stymied walls of worry

To decide to never play assures the fate of any
So we gamble yet another day uncertain
The parlor tricks moving most to dance all-in
With hopes to see what lies behind the curtain...

Loves and dreams break for reasons
glasses for resonance
our weaknesses for rising voices
and tunes for divided tones
Queens derive their deeds from swings
princes from addictions 
Apologies lose themselves in heartbreak
They take a day to come back 
a week to break eternally
A lifetime for all others 
And lose simplicity
in understanding
the rest of us...

Perfect rhyme scheme soothes my ear, 
Its rhythmic sequence subtly sways, 
Lyrical images appear, 
Excelling in iambic pace. 

A perfect poem in and about -
Feather’s glory but above all -
It turns my senses inside out 
Suffonsifies my seeking soul. 

So where do I derive it from?
From the inside of outer form - 
a Perfect Storm!

I'm torn between the 
sinfulness of my 
intentions
and my enduring innocence
Each derive pleasure from my 
wavering stints,
An opening window invites
a seal pregnant with 
a lost soul
Inviting you to unfurl
the sin in me
And close me shut...
Each cleft arouses the bruises 
I bear
A retool can chance 
a rousing stare
But to this I swear 
I cannot return...

A constellation resembling a big dog appears in the night sky.
It has the brightest of stars that can be seen with the eye.
For the duration of the night, the star shines its blue white face.
It resembles a solitary diamond resting in a black velvet case.
Many light years from here, Sirius continues to burn away.
That is how we derive the phrase “Dog Day”.

The Lord sent you, an inspiration into my life
Blessings you’ll give and blessings you’ll derive 
I saw the joy you felt in working for the Lord
May he forever, draw you with his loving cord

Great lesson here, for all who believe
Humble now, then a crown of life receive
Thank you Lord, for these your servants
Working for your cause to advance




With deepest thanks, Reneord...

When my life
Is troubled
By sinful acts
And pain
That I derive
From questions
I can not
Find answers for
When my tears 
Are too hot
For my eyes 
To hold
Yet they will not
Rain anymore
When there is no
Peace of soul
Within me
GOD,
I will scream loud
Your name
In repentance
I will surrender
All this troubles
Of mine
In your hands
And seek
COMFORT in you....

From this summertime game, girls derive joys. 
Who said baseball should only be played by boys? 
Girls can catch fly balls, field grounders, and render a mighty swing. 
In comparison to boys, girls can do anything. 
They can hit singles, doubles, triples, and a home run. 
Girls play all nine innings until the game is won.
