Relationships

Love's solid foundations:

Trust, honesty, selflessness--

Herculian tasks!

Build a Strong Foundation

If heartaches seem to surround you,
or if you're troubled at every hand.
Be thankful your foundations solid,
that you didn't build on the sand.

Laying the Foundations

To write to ensnare
to weave a web of intrigue
is it for one’s self?
I’d rather be the devil
than steal true loves innocence.

Trust Iv

No relationship could withstand the test of time,  unless is built upon the solid foundations of trust!

Far, Far Away

Far, far away
In the sunshine
Where light play
Are my highest aspirations
I may not reach them
But I can look up
Believe in them
And see beautiful creations
That are my life`s foundations

Becoming Poet

Energizing all words
   agglutinating vowels and consonants
   soaking up the sounds and noises
    I erected the pristine foundations of poetry
    finally, I created myself
    poet... !

Unfulfilled Expectations

If it's true that unfulfilled expectations
And no prospect of a better future
Shake a man to his foundations
Then our world must have system failure!
Many decisions can't be right,
Many reactions can't be polite!

Recipe For the 60s

(Another way of looking at life... poem)

Stacking bricks in a builder’s yard
I was just eighteen, while my mate
was in Vietnam.
I was building for the future,
he was trying to lay the foundations.

Fabulous Frailty

not the banyan trees
dried twigs hold the dragonflies
often carefully

few fallen feathers
form firm foundations for Finch's
fantastic furrow

a leaf on waters
becomes great lifebuoy
for a drowning ant

Uncertainties Throne

The power of induction,
truth insecure

Foundations and principles,
whispered demure

We take that next leap
from uncertainties throne

To leverage our doubts
—from what’s presently known

In This Place

I am the weed
Nestled
In a crack in the pavement
Dismantling concrete
Crumbling foundations
In this man made world
Rooted in the earth
Despite the city
I am the seed

Monuments and Idols

Latter day idols 
Scrape the sky and
Stand as Monuments; 
Harboring the corruption of men.

A true monument
Stands out in the open.
The real beauty
Forgotten by the Creators.

Beneath the feet of these giants,
Lay solemn foundations of hope.

When and Then

When from this world I draw my final breath
And earth's foundations crumble all around,
Then shall my hope in Jesus Christ be found
Who purified my soul and conquered death.

Fractured Foundations

Fractured Foundations Do not expect longevity from poorly poured, ill-formed foundations. Many changes occur, cause it to crackup and the building will lean. Select quality materials for yourself, at the beginning. 4/26/18

Professional Liars

I know a school 
          Of professional liars
I know a school
          Where you can get a degree in lying

The school has
          DNA 
          Culture
          Ties
          Tactics 
And firm foundations of lies 
That can keep the flies away

Tomorrow's Chord

If the past is not alive in you
the future will be dead
Sparrows turn to flee the dawn
with yesterday unfed

Once memory breaks the golden chain
foundations lay unpoured
And silence breeds the only sound
— to play tomorrow’s chord

Doubt

unsure
                                    nagging thoughts flood
                             anxious "what if"s" drown hopes
                             foundations of the mind falter
                                                waver

Spices of Life

Divine decorum in dealings,
Dearly feelings;
Deep prayer beads,
Daring good deeds...

Eagerly expectant pure heart,
Evils apart;
Exuberance, 
Effervescence...

Love beyond all settled foundations,
Long relations;
Loyal graces,
Living embraces...

Nothing Else Matters

if it all fell down
would you pick up
the bricks

and make an attempt
to build it all up
again

foundations are meant
to be strong

we only want to be
right
when all we do is
wrong

it's the times that we
miss
remembering our first
kiss

when nothing else matters

1 Truthfully Speaking

While the call of hope still stands, -yet the world has doubt. Believe, if you will, yo faith in man. --the only thing dat he can't control is time. Death, greed, and lust are the foundations of the world. A computer, and a demon will deceive those who believe and receive in dem their want.

The Rain Maker

Sweet rain is hammering the dry ground
Dirt turning to muddy foundations
Leaves nodding their heads to the sound
Gaia smiling upon her creations
The earth with green is gowned
Eudora now pouring her libations
To Ceres, with grain is crowned
Patron, we give our adoration
The fruits of your harvest abound

Ni Sa Bula Vinaka

Forty years have passed
Some people late
Memory like clockwork
“Stay away from that hole” he said
I will I will
I will not
Not be told
You can build a bure on top of me
The foundations are weak  
But the smoky darkness is clearing
Yes, the hole still has me
Finally big enough to step up
Almost

Foundations I

LIFE RHYTHMS PULSE.
ITS HIDDEN GEOMETRY
ENGINEERING INTRICATE PLANS...

A GUIDING HAND
LIES DIVINE PLANS...
WE FLY INTO THE FACE OF
A PERFECT GOD...

Curl into bitter tears
And sink into earths cryptic sphere.

LIFE BEGINS ANEW PULSING IT'S
CYCLE...BUILDING IT'S FOUNDATIONS OF
GRAND GEOMETRY.
