Setting boundaries
A lesson learned, sometimes late
May simplify daily lives
Minimize regrets 
Lives ruined crossing lines...

I strive for simple life and simpler deeds,
Cut down on needs,
And minimize the multiples of me,
And wriggle free
Of whirligig complexity....

Rich, I am certainly not,

But

If my desires, I minimize,

Rich, I will certainly be!

In spite of negative stuff in the news today
We can all do our part to minimize the decay
Smile at each other
Love one another
Wake up each morning whistling away...

Listen to poem:

it doesn't have to be complicated
let's leave behind the clutter
let time wash over us
clear away debris
minimize and
simplify

Better would be for one to:

Progressively, minimize his attachment to life as he gets too old, 

As to enable himself to decrease fear, caused by death's advent!

Math, the realm of life, let's
Multiply all pleasures
Minus entire sorrows
Manage total tie-ups
Measure mentalities
Matrix adventures and
Minimize kindred’s flaws.

The wave, a distant statement
“trust me, I come in peace”

The handshake, firm and strong
held just a bit too long

the hug, a gentle frisk
to minimize the risk

to those who must decide
to double down or let it ride

Take your standbys
And your surprise
And analyze
My starting rise
This is advised
To get baptized
And Christianize
You idolize
Evils lullabies
Now memorize
These words replies
Say your good-buys
Leave all your spies
You agonizes
And minimize
Romanticize
Evils veils of lies...

What seems dull by day
  Flashes peril by night
Sparks far away
  A trembling fright

The rustling of trees
  Noontide's gentle wind
On nighttime's breeze
  Nearly do me in

Night's shadow amplifies
  What bright days minimize
Pitch-black terror underlies
  The scream of the Evil Eye...

Sat in a car to get my shot.
Doc says it ought
to minimize
pending demise.

Knee joints are aging, sorely fast
They will not last
another spring 
nor highland fling.

My go for the gusto is spent
my frame is bent.
COVID vaccine
one more routine.

Love and care
Smiling faces
Simple yet complicated
Hearts are stray

Hugs and fights
Endless talks
Bold and bright
that Unbreakable lock

Dreams and wishes
Aims and hopes
Confused and frightened
Timeless talks

together they stand
Friends they are
No matter how hard
Never apart...

Mingle with me, in a misty, mimosa moment.

Make my metric mistakes so minuscule.

Maximize my poetic meaningfulness .

Minimize my meaninglessness.

Of my most memorable moments, let me pen.

Memories with members, with momentous souls.

Poetic mathematics, Misty Angel, is my goal!

God 
is the only perfect being 
thus 
He is characterized, among other things,
by  
the absence of needs!

Man
being imperfect has many wants
thus
if Man wishes to approach God *
must first 
minimize the plethora of his wants!

Thank you for the sunshine, that makes us smile on the tougher days
Thank you for the rain storms, that seem to ease the pain away 
And how the wind seems to hold you, if you can find its simplistic unattainable rhythm 
Even for the cold, that when applied to the wounds will minimize the illness
Mother Nature, a woman so fierce and so majestic 
There's not words beautiful enough yet, to describe her image....

A king is also a man with single mind,
People in the kingdom with many minds,
The pool of minds of people,stronger than the king's sometimes,
"Your strength to compensate my weaknesses,
Your wisdom to help to minimize my mistakes",
To the hearts of his people President Jimmy Carter once spoke,
Kings have wiser,advisors,
People are the supervisors,
If the king ignores the verses of both,
The king is walking along the disastrous path!...

My Autumn bridge has come for me and bids me come abode.
Hats off and a warm welcome to her cooling sun of Fall.

Come O gentle winds and also Autumn showers.
O hurricane, we pray you to minimize your pain.

May Autumn trees in recline sing of their beauty.
Satiate the land with your trees of golden leaves.

How sweet the sound of harvesters gathering the grain.
O Autumn friend, rain down prosperity on every living soul.

It's what I saw in your eyes
That made me to realize
That no matter how I disguise
Myself and try to minimize
The hatred I have for your lies
It's your being I will anathematize

If it is all about patience
Then I'm afraid my conscience
Has decided that intolerance
Is going to be the stance
It'll take for your nonsense

I'll be here waiting for you
So if there is any voodoo
That will make you to glue
To me, we will try to
Shake it off in a coup...

The wise I asked:

           "How could I, my life, ever be able to enrich?"


 
            "If your desires, ready are you, to minimize 

                                        And 

       The greed from your heart, willing are you to uproot

                                       Then 

          Riches beyond your wildest dreams, your heart

                May realize. " he enigmatically replied!

An online date inquired,
Via text, of my good friend,
If she indulged in what’s become
An up-and-coming trend.

He had to know, he claimed,
‘Cause her retort could break the deal,
If she had shaved “down there,” 
Which would diminish her appeal.

To say this question threw her
Is to minimize the truth,
For how could someone better prove
That he is so uncouth?

My friend has crossed him off her list
For how he did behave,
Preventing what might have become
An awfully close shave!...

Fix in your mind a prospect desire

Burst other things like volcano fire

Set your mind with lot of hope

And that should be an invulnerability rope

 You optimize the faith that what you can

And minimize the time you sit under the fan

Pray the mighty for good nature, and not even

Dream to save for your future

Think you aren’t the priority sex

And flush out your entire evil complex

We will pay for what we had done

No one can cool inside the burning sun...

you are only a mere man 
limited in strenght and magical powers
your needs are never ending
you sweat like its a curse and minimize food like its a burden to eat
wretched is your kind 
it shows in your way of life
children cursing mothers or the other way round 
representatives causing pain 
and man takes a hole in the mountain as home
you live complainig and die dissapointed
your needs- more than numerous
your responsibilities unfulfilled
the life of a mere man is better imagined....

The Road

Life always has twists and turns
We learn many of them while we grow	
Our parents tell us what to do
How to minimize the effects of life
But sometimes life comes without twists
Just a straight road leading from birth to death
Maybe with small ups and downs
Maybe with some junk covering your path
And your travels will not always be easy
You should remember one thing in your journey
The road will never be more than you can handle
But it will always give you what you deserve...
