Steals health,
Flattering oil
Steals careful wealth

High in the snowy sky
Mist covered forsaken cry

    mocks ever-thinning hairline

    makes head look even fatter...

As my mind paints your image
Through well chosen words

I shall describe your beauty
Through words only flattering...

Contemplating immortality.
Reincarnation, flattering.
Eternity, appealing.
Cosmic intervention?
Everlasting life?
Only death knows.
Awaiting.
Tick tock.
Done....

Colors are flying
The yellows the greens
Colors are splattering
The reds the blues
The white it's dyeing
The purples the pinks
Looks quite flattering!
The colors the hues!...

Her beguiling eyes took my breath away
Above the silken mask she chose to wear
Her coif most flattering above her face,
Until I saw her teeth -- the worst, I swear!

Dictionaries describe “fossil” as a cranky old person
Not flattering but it's bang on, not a very nice version
It doesn't apply to me
I'm as sweet as can be
Fillies flock around till I'm forced to charge a fee...

Flattering words in drown of wine 
Caring voice like divine 
Harmless look in charming eyes 
Harbors the fury and the lies. 

All for one, one for all 
Silent shadows beneath the wall 
Casting bane from the back 
For the price of a buck...

You should go for almsgiving
To the poor who are confined in Allah’s way
Because they can not do anything for their living
The ignorant people think they are well off
Because they do not ask for anything
You can recognize them by this sign
They do not beg by flattering 
And whatever good thing you give
Surely Allah knows it....

heart so pure
genuine and innocent
naïve in the most flattering way
simple as a child’s

don’t hold back
speak your truth
we’ve but one life
no one need tell you
just how precious
each day really is

don’t hold back
express yourself
in matters of the heart

TICK-TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK-TOCK,
SIXTY SECONDS TO A MINUTE,
SIXTY MINUTES TO AN HOUR,
TWENTY-FOUR TO A DAY,
AN INFINITE MOMENT,
TO EXPRESS A NOTION,
MASTERING RIGHT,
A CAPSULATED POTION,
FLATTERING LIFE, 
WRITING IS WHAT I'VE CHOSEN.

HOPING TO ENLIGHTEN,
AND UPLIFT.

AS TIME TICKS AWAY,
EACH DAY,
EACH WORD,
IN TIME,
A SPECIAL GIFT....

Placid waters
Boat, mildly rocking
Cheerful faces
Picture perfect snaps
Posted on social sites
Flattering comments
‘Wonderful family’
Flashback
Happy memories
Happy?
Nay!
Last ditch effort
At calming
Inside turmoil
Save marriage
Children’s sake
Alas!
Unbridgeable difference
Between 
‘Perfect family outing’
And 
‘Not so perfect family’...

Our love has died, quite young,
but none of us have gone to bury it ,
so no grave is to be found,
noone needs to know, but us....
How lovely is to bring the memory
of love so young the way it was,
so beautiful and flattering...
Now dust is left and trust,
the wind will play and have a ball...
But we will know the joy we had,
love to dust we won't forget....

Counting the stars in the night sky,
aiming at heart to fly high,
different stages worth remembrance,
a flattering moment or a nuisance.

When grown old and white,
when eyes lack much light,
you will see with your soul,
every fixed and unfulfilled goal.

Move back to the time,
of sour grapes and sweet lime!
Memories never let go,
they will always flow......

You stand there!
With desiring lures!
Captivating,
Flattering and flirting,
Scented fragrances,
Attracting!	
Drawing!
Magnetism!
Creating happiness,	
Without a word,
You entice,
Reflect
And seduce,
Temperature intensifies,
Your beauty blooms,
Time stands still,
Capturing my heart,
I’m taken!
To a far distant land,
Riding on clouds,
Of heaven.

I am compassion
I dress in what I’ve paid for, not very flattering;
Yet affordable
I need to love you no matter what
I am related to disappointment
I vacation in happiness
My job is always uplifting when you’re sadden
I desire peace, love, longevity of life for you and yours…

Criticism
Written: by Miracle Man
5/28/2020

It’s often unsought and seldom fun,
and critique is rejected if harshly spoken.
Because words once spoken can’t be undone,
they often leave our vanity broken.

Self examination is what criticism is forcing,
by failing to listen our growth is small.
It doesn’t mean we agree and endorsing,
flattering attempts intended to enthrall.

My aunt was chomping at the bit to read my poems
I was not enthusiastic about it because some were about her
And not terribly flattering

She would not let up so I finally shared my site and my pen name
I held my breath as I watched her land at the one that was all her
Oh, I despise these kinds of people she said.

Vindicated through her non-recognition of herself,
I gave a loud low sigh of relief....
