Painstaking desire
wants to write a write for cause -
Bleeds to provide ink

Beast springs -
Innocent 
Insatiable 
Prey – 
Moments
Anticipating 
Eternity-
Dual hearts 
Thumping –
Frantic breath
Hungry fangs
Depress-
Delicious 
Juices flow-
Painstaking 
Ecstasy-
Beast and Prey
Want more-...

Don't say that slander is as dangerous as a deep torrent
And people who’re banished sink forever like sediment. 
Although with painstaking filtration the panning is bound, 
Only when the sand is filtered out, can the gold be found.

protecting others~
by sacrificing their own lives
warriors steal hearts

not only borders~
in hospitals too, white coats
saving others' lives

In schools and colleges~
building nation's character
painstaking gurus

lending their voices~
for just, fair, equal systems
warriors on street

Case unlocked
Lone Ranger came out in theatres
Awesome! Johnny Depp is so brilliant and wicked!
Painstaking regrets shown on stage
Pangs of depression cling to me like the Pirates of the Caribbean monkey 
Iris turns blue...the pupils of many decrease in size
Never felt so much pride and happiness 
Grasp vast grace...

I made a list of things to do
And said to myself it’s up to you
Painstaking in its making
None of it will find the earth a-quaking

So I look to do each one
Now’s the time I should have begun
For my list is just a reminder of things
That when completed I will find the joy it brings.

I still remember that stay, 
           that day, that week, that May...
You told you would come, 
            and i waited all the way.


Time kept ticking, 
           was painstaking...
You didnot come, 
       n left me brooding.


I shuddered, i muttered, 
          n finding reasons...
why i loved you, 
          loved you for seasons.......

paint me a dream 
as only you can 
make me ponder 
and wander the sands 
create desire painstaking 
endeavors heated 

eaves dropping 
on my thoughts
investing in my heart 
again and again 
gambling with fate 
fancied by my nape
 
a chance meeting 
crawling on gravel hot 
tires backing over stones 
lights blinding the sun 
while my eyes 
empties your mind...

Tedious of ephemeral dreams
I prefer to be in a coma
If my thoughts are where you reside
I shall close my eyes for eternity
My empyreal cerebrations
ostend the painstaking reality
that a body of water
has unlinked us both
Thus far, I have survived
without your company,
which is what keeps me sane,
and secure; That if I were
to cede it, I shall go sightless
And life shall lose it's felicity...

 My Reality

'tis a far cry from perfection;
however, I'm the owner.
What there is to accept,
may not always be.

It is, still a possession:
With which, none can reckon.
Not even the closest of friends,
can Ridicule.

Taking months of deliberation
and years of painstaking work,
Hoping  just to obtain mediocraty,
I tire at the thought of future.

Each passing day,
bringing more strife, I...

An illuminating moonscape came on Sunday
In Spring of thirty-three C.E. 
[The third day]
Executed—Jesus the Nazarene
Falsely charged with sedition
God raised Jesus back to life
Forty days later, Jesus ascended to heaven

Unlike legends, the Gospel reflects
Painstaking accuracy and detail refined
If those events really did happen
Then there is a bright future for mankind!

My notebooks were once filled with doodles
Adorning the margins; in class
I doodled when bored at a lecture,
When minutes took hours to pass.

My squiggles and boxes repeated;
They weren’t worth even a glance
But, along with my painstaking scribble,
They filled up the paper’s expanse.

Years later, at times when I’m Zooming,
My thoughts from the topic removed,
I find myself doodling idly,
Those squiggles and such not improved....

(As I saw people participating in the March Contest, I decided to make my non-participation as if it were a joke. I just don't have the patience to count syllables and I commend the painstaking and strenuous work of the participants in this contest, of course.)


If I only knew what to do with this March guy,
things wouldn't be in this uncomfortable stand by.
I would surely address the entire nation
establishing a monthly holiday and free drink on the declaration....

It nearly was a rude shock,
When I cursorily checked the lock,
Looking beyond the first block
And saw not a sheep in a once stampeding flock:
The security there by many judged “A Rock”,
That would the painstaking efforts of robbers mock
And rather produce them in some dock,
If not that day, after the crow of the Earliest Cock
,,, All in a matter of repeated Tick Tock!
Which shepherd could bear a disappeared flock?
But, Alas! Looking back at me is a disappeared flock!...

Love, sweet fleeting love, 
Never lasts. 
Trial and error, always
The end.
Try to keep love alight, 
Don’t die.

Happiness, gentle calm happiness, 
Never lasts.
A mismatched dream
That ends, 
Nothing left to stop it
It dies.

Peace, soft caring peace, 
Never lasts.
Disrupted through turbulence, which
Never ends.
Ongoing, ferocity, crying pain, to
Cause death.

Life, harsh yet balanced life, 
Always lasts, 
Difficult, painstaking yet
It never ends, 
A living cycle of hope to
Outlive death....

A painstaking search
For ‘A Living Church’
For The Risks in Dead Ones
Being tried even once.

A painstaking search;
This time not a church
But for a fine office
In a clean edifice, 
Yet one with not a pile
Of withheld serious file …

For Drunk Folks who lurch
And sleep under Birch
Against their Love proposal 
for shaming disposal …

For The Bare Novice:
Nothing for Elvis
With a certificate
But could Boss implicate …

People find time to search
And take this to The Church....
