but we won't weigh the load

as in pains unfolds

There once was a young boy named Gideon
He lived on the dateline meridian
He flew east each night
To get yesterday right
We'll call him a retro-quotidian?

Gentility never breaks a water pot
                      But in every rush of the day
                      lays a mistake

A hustler never meets hunger
on his way to birth his meals
but bent settled kneels become 
stiff & slave to hunger games

Gideon is trembling with fear
His wife shivering with cold;
Some chattering sounds to bear;
A discomfort from The Cold
Now learnt a fitting lesson;
A bucketful to now heat
“Menthol at home a blessing 
To Life-Threatening Cold beat!?
He is near Seventy-Eight;
Agnes’ loss would be a weight?...

Promises and words of love      Naked bodies on strange beds      Down filled 
pillows      Piled up to lie their heads      Television shouting out it`s static      Dripping 
water in the next room      Plastic flowers      That will never bloom      Mirrors full of 
past images      Gideon in the bedside table      Whispering secrets      And promises 
of      More and more...

learn to cut life piece by piece 
don't swallow it  ,
it chokes
a tailor told me
in piece by piece
she made it a beautiful dress
the mason said
from piece by piece
he built the edifice
the panel beater chopped!
from piece by piece
he shackled it
so the farmer said
from seed by piece
he harvested it
though from 
an acre.. 
life is such a bunch
peel it in style

first impressions last longer

lost in the sands of times

last impressions lives forever 

penned in the mind's of men

treasured in the rhymes of mines

engraved in the tombs pains

inscribed in the palms of history

tattooed in the art of fame


last impressions edit first impressions

last impressions uneditable

so the end justifies the means.

You can make me your leather ball,
Play me where you like
But I know I will come back to you 
Someday,
 Cos' you definitely need me again
To make another bounce,
 but then I might be filled 
with wears 'n' tears of this game
And I might not be able to bounce
So breath in me your air
Your California is still green
Lets I become a sudden rain dropping
On an old California 
And your field as hays

KEEP PUSHING

In trauma of thorns
In turns of time drone
When there seems to be no relief
If you think you're the only unsuccessful person

Dear readers, keep striking
Keep striving harder
When you see someone celebrate success
Ask him what he faced before enthralling to his present level

It has been said "behind every successful person, there are sustained injuries
If you fail today, try harder tomorrow, because joy cometh at last.

 no contention only one common goal
;Pains pains pains with hands like darks fangs
deepened down the brain emmmmmmmm~~~~~

The greatest mystery;
 burns but never ashes
only strengthens
worms feed ease
death is sent parking
pain is the foundation

The cries of wailing men
like the roaring of millions
of lions

Be warned 
Behold He cometh
In His wings of Glory!!!
I bubbled out my sleep
to remain whole again
In the fragility of my dreams
