     Day and night without end

Goin’ to school
Grad school that is
But I’ve got to wait
Till they choose me
There’s a simple
Process needed to be done
Before they allow me in
It’s an admission decision
They will notify me
By email, phone, or letter
I’m waiting painstakingly
For the results

She's lost in a naked dream
Barring all to see
With each key stroke
Undressing all of me

Barring all to see
Reveling vulnerability 
Undressing all of me
Stings so painstakingly

Revealing vulnerability
With each key stroke
Stings so painstakingly 
She's lost in a naked dream

Listen to poem:

cold harsh desolate terrain
where life to us seems hostile and cruel
gardens painstakingly nurtured
with minimal returns

so much effort so little gain
yet a most appreciative and spiritual people
atop their mountains so close to God

beyond
commotion
the concealed
watertight door
hides a world
onto my own
an inner realm
painstakingly
mastered

the delicate
balance
of
covert
turbulence
and
serenity

Sticks and stones may break your bones
Promises game Amnesia clones 
Dying in a crowd life alone
Laryngitis quiet a video phone
Painstakingly separated brokerage
Twin birth anxiety twerks
Like in a marriage For Better or For Worse
Beautiful ballistic

The weight of a rainbow,
The glory of colours,
The artistry of nature,
The wonder of light.
Somewhere up,
Nature’s hands are at work, 
Somewhere above,
Colours align painstakingly,
In a bow that shoots arrows of hope to humanity,
We remember a covenant,  
We remember an age-old event.

Pulled a pail of words
From the well of my heart
Painstakingly stringed
The words in order
Create a web of thoughts
With these strings
Entangled in this web
Are my thoughts and emotions
All my imaginations
All the life’s lessons
Juggling words all day
Juggling thoughts all day
That’s how I, a wordsmith
spend each day…...

Avalanche 

Avalanched blizzards' cold dustings 
           envelope: 
 forests, gulleys, hillsides--
intentionally juxtaposing life...
 making necrose obstacles 
   painstakingly quiver,
      releasing Snow!
             Tons!
Ubiquitous vagabond-wielding
        Xenophobics'... Yielding Zone!

UNIFORMITY

romantic
   wondering
in enchanted
 impressions
such
 remote sounding such
breath
an unmissable
sight
resisting
  translation
this
curious feeling
 absorbed
 painstakingly
in
matching
run of the mill
 fictions
with
a
startling

 singular
abstracts

Perpetually praising poet's perforce presence,
particular poets persevere penniless, proudly,
people present peonies, prizes,
poet's perennial prose, poesy,
pacific, provocative, purposeful,
painstakingly perfected, promising,
poet's prolific in populace,
platinum pens poised,
paper primed, persnickety,
pensive pinnacle power of poetic peace,
and posterity....

You research choices thoroughly
  until your eyes dim blurrily

The issues you're so familiar with
  you know them like your kin and kith

You review the votes each candidate casts
  project their futures from their past

There's nothing that you fail to cover
  over daily papers you fairly hover

You mark your ballot painstakingly
  then forget to mail it, carelessly...

here on earth
i pray for all
in space
i have amnesia
the rainbow has golden strings
the sun has a surprisingly cool center
the moon has a warm, comforting glow
i am happy lying to myself

here at home
i play for all
rat race
i have amnesia
my voice painstakingly sings
my throat has a crockery laced splinter
the boos, yay, they steal the show
i get so excited when denying myself...

so, the frenzied hunt is on,
for that perfect gift,
that unique something,
for that special someone.

Heart-shaped chocolates,
diverse species of stuffed animals,
gold and silver anklets,
carefully trimmed bouquets,
painstakingly worded cards,
gift vouchers, moonlit dinners,
cruises, picnics, breakfasts in bed.

Gosh, I’ve got to run,
I’ve just thought of exactly,

exactly what my cat will love…...

Memories:

Unique libraries of unsurpassed grandeur

Safeguarding

The precious volumes of our life's history

That

Have, painstakingly, been written down with the use

Of

The ink of our tears, and the pen of our laughter

For

Later to read, at our leisure, with great delight

Before 

The sun...goes down!

NATURE


Nature:
A conglomeration of unbounded energy into matter
Under 
The auspices of paramount universal Logos 
That
The harmonious coexistence of opposite forces 
Established
By 
Masterfully choreographing it with the help
Of 
The infallible divine will 
And 
Painstakingly interwoven with the assistance
Of 
Mighty space and time!
