A Fine Distinction

What we are
not who we are 
matters to the world.

Who we are
not what we are  
matters when we leave it.

Stripped of control,

That he has forged and some people have helped him at it.
Indeed they have done injustice and uttered a lie!

Happy birthday, Noah Roque, 
A student has high distinction; 
Graduated magna cum laude, 
He has learned from education.

Premium Member decorum for 'em

It’s quite clear that you misunderstood
the distinction between ‘could’ and ‘would’. 
But before we get there,
if you even still care,
is the matter of whether one should.

Old Glory

Flying high and
waving proudly;
perched atop
a silver orifice
the magnificent
and beautiful
flag of honor -
Old Glory,
smiles upon
a grateful nation
with resplendent 
dignity and distinction.

A Simple Distinction

"Shadow" leaves me thinking negative jibes
overheard in rebuke and rejection -
run away in fear.

"Shade" gives me those sweet, more positive vibes 
open, as in relief, relaxation -
it's safe over here.

Premium Member WALK WITH THE EARTH

May we be blessed to make this simple but vital distinction…
when it comes to the Earth…
and how we decide to live upon it…

May we choose always to walk with the Earth…
instead of merely walking on it.

The Distinction - Chapter 25, Verses 59, Holy Koran

He is the One Who created the skies and the earth
And the things between them in six long days
Then He sat on His great throne, He is the Kind God
So ask the person about His Majesty who is aware of your Lord.

Love Without Hope

Love without hope

Promises of love without sincere intention
showered with presents of unique distinction
Dramatic displays of superficial attention
Love without hope drives with no destination.

Here And There

The coincidence of
 opposites
attracts and repels

Polarity of motion
where  
all paradoxes dwell

Conjoined in their
distinction
 negating the either/or

Essential
singularity
— both after and before

oi lexeis mou

My words are my weakness,
They shout unfiltered,
Taste bitter, 
cold like winter.

My words are my strength,
They whisper courage,
To encourage,
And fight discourage.

My words are my legend,
By time goldened,
Honed, silkened,
To my distinction.

Distinction
without difference

Where shadows
defame

Laughter
without smiles

Embodied
in shame

Each story
redundant 

Whose print
stays uninked

As eyes
search for mercy

That last
—missing link

Premium Member If a Book Were a Burrito

If a book were a burrito, hot off the press,
I'd eat it bite by bite, I guess; 
but, I'd do more than savor every bite.
I'd boil a pot of beans and begin to write 
a novel of distinction, served up hot with rice,
and in the sexy parts, I would add some spice.

Windows

Not by any trite window
Tensed, framing worry
Its oft serene onlooker;
Life's; through Memory.

Accordingly is brought up
The clear distinction
Twixt today's world, all feel more
Obligated to
And that brighter faced, breezed through;
With heart's free action.
