    is my mode to emulate sunset
      because I am also a sun... !...

What one should
emulate
to write poem
everyday
at least, tales
of here's doom
no one knew
that a night
exists, here....

For once laying here on my bed while my door is open.
Allowing the kitchen's fluorescent lights to emulate
Atmosphere of a more peaceful hospital I used to know....

Imitate me
If you want something more
But emulate the rest
If you want to settle
Because I hold the answer
To life’s enigma
Do you want me
To whisper it in your ear?...

To Emulate Would Be Great

What we always thought was to emulate;
Did end up being astounding and great;
Worth seeing;
Always being,
But forgetting it all became final fate.

Creators we were born to be - like God, whose artwork is

the finest we can emulate; the very best is HIS!

glimpsed
   from afar

voices murmur
            indistinct
eclipsed
in stillness

all desire
              to compete
or
emulate

            begone
such ambition

modesty remain
                      stay close...

Dreams leak out of my mannequin head
My twisted plastic limbs are sprawled out on my bed
My expression ever frozen, in a dramatic pose
I'm not biodegradable but I want to decompose
A glue drop on my cheek to emulate a tear
I've been here 10 minutes or maybe 10 years...

NOT AS LEAR KNEW IT 

There was a young man from near here
Tried to emulate Edward Lear.
The syllable count
Was the right amount
But alas when the end was near
He had too many lines I fear

Music is

the symphony of creation,

given as a gift of God to Man,
  
that

allows one to emulate the harmony and rhythm 

of 

the cosmic order

into

the innermost parts of his soul

in

the form of melody!

Reflections on a Mirror

I see that you can only emulate, and imitate, 
a slave to everything that passes bye.
With a closer inspection of your redirection,
I’m asking the mimic that stands before me,
is there an artist, somewhere, buried in all that sand,
waiting to come out?...

A distinguished symbol of the age
Happened before my eyes
The lustrous blend of colours
Births a new definition
Brandishing oaths in less words
Than expected to be composed
The unprecedented passion
Causes me to scream internally
Her eyes emulate a saga yet to be told
Although each chapter presents a new beginning...

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO IMITATE

It's impossible to imitate
nothing, yet simple
to emulate everything.
The true way is to meet
life with the sound of
one hand clapping. Bend
life as you would bake
a rice cake with the karma
of your life. I saw the moon
last night with my face
in a crater, smiling 
back at me like a fool....

Wise to emulate
 
“The Greatest Generation”
 
Depression Era
 
Hard times faced with dignity
 
Heroes rose from common men

by Tom Brokaw, a truly inspiring account of how people met the financial challenges 
of The Great Depression....

This love must not stop,
It comes from deep heart
which rises to the top,
No one can set apart,
I've found you at last,
Just like moon and star,
Disappointment is in the past,
As our emotions travel far,
Which makes others to emulate,
And true passion to escalate .

In times of adversity
With instability spreading into University,
With forgiveness at an all time low,
Where hope is a no show, 
Where we see only the worst of humanity, 
We should find some humility
And remember,
The saints whom we are looking to emulate,
Before it is too late, 
To plant something decent to put on our plate....

The horizon speaks to me
in words of clarity.
Sunset emanating.
Awareness with slow glow
perpetually moving...
The arc of earth marries
the protective infinity of
sky.
My knowledge is present
in the union.
Mother breathes in
eternal mystery,
releasing deluded history.
She allows divinity to 
enter and heal
and I
I 
emulate this....

every time i try and every time i fail
the same words ring out
in my minds self erected jail
every time i try and every time i win
the silence is deafening
turmoil erupts within

could do no right
learnt to feed off the hate
take pain pass it on 
my hero i emulate
childsplay horror scene on continus rerun
must of been so hard for you
to have such a bad son...

I
Humans are divine, but watch & emulate pigs

II
We have body-vehicles; "I'm my car," is like thinking you are poultry 

III
Scripture helps us recall our divinity (versus eating with pigs, as the fate of The rude spendthrift & HEIR in LUKE 15, teaches us)

IV
Earthly problems drag us to poultry level.

Recall you are an eagle; fly with eagles...

Imitate, emulate, the way of the primate

unenlightened spirits control and subjugate

Your eyes can't see and your ears can't hear

that loss of the known is your actual fear 

Everyone talks, but few people know 

that change is crucial and needed to grow

Pry your eyes open and keep your heart pure

get acquainted with yourself and you'll know that for sure...

I
I could copy, imitate and duplicate
The words of heart-and-wordsmiths
O muse, help me rather emulate
The genesis of natal pedigree, truths
And touches of agape-Love

II
To speak of aging, arriving, mature
With shy eyes that blossom respect
Lips that don't intimate lust, adventure
But dependence on another pair yet
For air, their mutual sheltered Cove...

everybody thinks it's wrong
for my little brother to emulate me
so i go alone
none of my nephews wants to be like me
i go alone
yearning for vindication
maybe it's just now
may be in time,the Lord will
let them see who i really am
that i'm not good for nothing at all
instead i'm more than my two brothers 
put together
i'll be the best after my vindication...

The mat is out
The cat has a doubt
In her head
Do you remember all the things the bad men said?

The wagon arrived
The wheel is derived
From the cave man
Do you remember all the things that you can?

The home isn't always the place to be
The rome isn't always the place to see
Or to emulate
Do you remember all the things you left to fate?

Yeah, I can't wait...
