Deceitful Zeus

This is what you DO
Avoid Pandora, trust NOT

Take heed the early GREEKS
Who forbear for fear of SIN

Peace and Quiet

Election tension
Apprehension?
Home's a safe space
  Just in case

Fear a riot?
I don't buy it
Folks just want
  Peace and quiet

The Village Square's
Too noisy out there
The wise forbear
  Say silent prayers

For Augustus

This world an
  illusion

All faith to
  forbear

A friend of mine
  struggles

Whose spirit I
  share

I feel him inside
  me

He calls out my
  name

His friendship a
  blessing

Augustus,
—I pray

Forgiving

Falling out with either
Friends or family can
Flood hearts with resentment,
Fuelling rage and hatred.
Forbear from stoking fire.
Find fair reconcilement.
Forgiveness sets you free.

Emotions I'D Forbear

Fascination reserved for great men who dare
    Admiration for women who suffering bear
  Compassion for the ill who need prayer
    Anger at those who little kids scare

  From all these emotions I would gladly forbear
    to fulfill this twin mission ~ to share and to care

Ungenerous Heart

Your ungenerous heart forbear
Can not understand why
From me a generous reply

As from my easy chair
Face storms of life must them welter
Need warm heart to shelter

Don't understand in life your part
Sometimes wish for release
From stingy ungenerous heart
And go to my grave in peace

Spiritual Warfare

When twin souls peak in godly intercourse,
     love's neither then so deadly nor so baneful!
Invite another in like a Trojan horse,
     and the experience truly might be painful.

If torrid lovers can't forgive or forbear,  
     then carnal knowledge dies in hate and vice,  
as heav'n and hell disintegrate in warfare,
     and wanton lovers flee from wrath like mice.

The Cycle of Life

If there’s a separation now
Take heart,
Because first
there was a union;

If there’s darkness now
Forbear,
Because first
there was light;

If there’s sorrow now
Be patient,
Because first
there was happiness;

If there’s despair now
Rejoice,
Because first
there was hope;

If there’s death now
Celebrate,
Because first
there was life!

Breakup

I think of another
Let my heart surrender
With pleasure under
To give and render
The lost me to the other
Which is not my wonder.
She professes to be tender
But she's not like a mother
'Cause she desires us to be over
Denying me to be her lifeblood lover.
I am now resolute to turn a blind eye to her
Even though she is brighter,
But I can trade her for the better
To forbear my life from the deceitful breaker

Change In The Wishing

Is thinking sufficient
to turn us around

Cerebral in nature
as problems surround

For thousands of years
our nose to the stone

We’ve battled our nature
and mostly we drone

The answers elude us
the questions forbear

While sins of our fathers
live on in the air

The harder we toil
the greater we fail

All change in the wishing
— our fortunes entail

(Saint Davids Pennsylvania: September, 2024)

Tempus Fugit (L)

I shall forbear to wile away
My time in discontent.
But with each day,
Endeavor to extract from it,
The good that God has sent.

For though in awe of Him,
Intrepid, I shall strive to be.
Catering not to some earthly whim,
But at a Godly gait, in haste,
Using the time He's given me.

For as sure as each day brings,
With it a rising sun.
So time, the devourer of all things,
Will cause my sun to set
Making my life's work, soon done.

Dream In a Dream

Today let's find a paradise and take a one way flight
If you can't make it I'll still go and wait there day and night 
I'll look towards the horizon to see if you are there
And if you're not I'll try again, I never will forbear
The thought and hope that one day I will see you from afar
And from that moment on will know, no more maybe, we are
And then I can remove from me the part for you did yearn
For finally you have told me that you're able to return
