lovely lithe lively lemurs
languishing lovingly lengthwise
laboriously lightening our loads
laughing in lemur-like linguistics

lovely lacksidasical loving lemurs
letting loose leeches live
living lemur-like lightness
lollygagging in lemur-like ways...

This speaker knows history, geography, epics, ethics, linguistics and more
How to run a family? Author speaker
How to win an election? Author speaker
Bloody Nayagam gentlemen are no cold fish, peace lovers !...

Life’s Linguistics

Music is language 
That speaks 
To us all
It asks
And it tells
Like human 
Bird calls 

Food is our greeter
It says…
Come on in!
It gives
Then it feeds
With warm 
Welcome grins

Art is the glue
That says
We’re all human
It draws us 
All in
While we’re all
Bloomin’

Simply
unidentifiably
Perplexing.
Exemplifying
rather
crazy,
absurd,
Linguistics.
It's
fantastic
rhythm
allowing
grandiose
Ictus
lends 
imbecilic
speach.
Truly 
idioclly
contrived.
Experiencing
xanaphobia
paralizingly
incapacitates
any
linguist
in 
defining
obligatory
comprehension.
It 
obviously
undermines
spell check!

My blood never aches unless she is nearby Ameoba foamed at the mouth while repenting
sedative games Larvae linguistics of dead tongues fold the river by the lips I got a
prayer that’ll siphon off our blood As water quenches a blazing fire God damns my shadow
bound by the sender The burns a taunting to dissolve in you I gotta rid this world of one
who is starving A monument hidden from ravens in the sand...

A missed word
An error of syntax
A slip in punctuation

The truth is relative
Your truth is not necessarily mine

Truth told in grief
Truth told in mockery
Does not always remain The Truth

Truth be told
Your truth is not necessarily mine

A breath of gossip
An overheard sentence
The snatched glimpse of a word

Just remember this truth
Your truth is not necessarily mine

(Yes, I'm crap at titles, sorry.)...

Any (every) man
can brag about his conquests, 
the notches in his belt
little rungs on a ladder
baptized in bullshit. 

Any (every) man
can regale you with stories
of their swordsmanship or cunning
linguistics.

Any (let's just be honest and say all) man
can try to hold a woman down
while pretending to hold her hand.

But it takes a REAL man
to look a beautiful woman 
in her emerald moth eyes
and say;

"Will you teach me how to fish? "...
