My name is written down
Signed in blood, the blood of the lamb
It's highlighted in gold
Underlined in bold
Circled in blue
For God's Word is true...

the perfect girl of his dream
her highlighted crown
conflates an embellishment
emitting fashion design

Testing my diffused sanity 
Gritty and alluring in its guile 
Only highlighted stark reality 
Overboard, in an unruly file

I read and study my father-in law's old Bible

Tattered, written in , highlighted, never left idle

Each time I pick it up, I think of this spiritual man

He's smiling when I read from it as often as I can...

Two portaitists Anna&Doris Zinkeisen*
in the 20's were preferred to men
Their paintings highlighted at the R&A
what a scandal it caused in that day

She is from Nairobi, a highlighted nation of luminaries
A country that encourages the education of women
She has her masters and her PHD but none of that matters
When the men see how beautiful she is, they discount her brilliance....

"Darkness has been hiding,
A moon that is smiling

Down at you,
Who knew

Your day was good,
As I hoped it would 

Positive moments strung together,
Highlighted by sunshine and good weather 

Building confidence each and every day,
To have your life your way"...

Sunny yellow face
Highlighted by deep purple eyes
Tiny yet determined
Standing strong through cold
Fighting to shine in the shadow
Nothing there at all 
Then, suddenly you appear
Leaping into view 
To brighten the world
From Spring until Summer's end
My Johnny-Jump-Up...

recognising our default orientation as trance
purity of silence too scarred by thought spirals
our presence neither immanent nor transcendent 
yet deludedly affirms meaningful dwelling in darkness
akin to the irony highlighted in Plato’s allegory of the cave ...

Perfect lips pouting
Red pink as if lightly touched by strawberries 
Eyes compelling drawing in the masses
Brown the color of honey, warm and inviting
Hair flowing wind blown
Brown black, lightly highlighted perfectly shiny smelling like heaven
You are the perfect dream woman
Two races, three races, maybe more
Mix Chick....

A glow in the sky, captured the distant horizon 
Highlighted with streaks of pale pink and dark gray 
As night crept in, a frozen layer of snow shined bright white
                     - through the darkness -
Prominent, compelling, 
        Then, overcoming...whatever nightfall brings...

We all stared at the pretty Christmas hobby horse
Wondering who would get it, guessing in vain
There were eighteen of us grandchildren
Most of us knew we were way too old for it
Still, it enticed us with its decorated beauty
Highlighted by grandma’s gorgeous bubble lights
I think we were all relieved it was staying at Grandma’s....

like leering leopard
feeble flesh flicker
sassy spots smirk
scorching saucy surge
punctured passion puke
per prey's view

taunted tongue elated
eerie emotions elevated
dangling deer highlighted

porous paranormal bleeds
crushing callous creed
severing saucy speed

Sprint hoisted heel:
my siveness' spree.

The reason is

Once opened please consume within three days
that's what the smudgy printed label says
'Best before' highlighted in big letters
for after that it won't get any better.
'Use by' is not for info, it's a warning
so you must eat it all up by the morning
You make sure that it's all gone by the date
then wonder why you don't lose any weight....
