Blossoms perpetuating beyond mortality....

Wish we were wont to hold the hasty hands -
To grip and grasp perpetuating plans.

Life is not fair to me,
 maybe it shouldn't be.
Never did I imagine,
 opening up my heart,
  perpetuating its falling apart....

Life is a blessing
Unfolds in mysterious 
Paths to choose daily
Allowing the creation 
Perpetuating changes

In the sunny cottage garden
The hollyhocks thrive
Pleasing to the eye
And loved by the butterflies
Hollyhocks are the eatery
For larvae to thrive
Perpetuating the Painted Lady
Also pleasing to the eye...

A woman's love is
A self perpetuating thing
That which travels' on the
Dust of the wind
     And sleeps' in the
   Heat of the night
     Never sensing
The defeat or retreat
Of a love scorned
Scored to last forever

When mind-blowing poverty is rife, 
People no longer have reason to care
Or rise above self-perpetuating strife,
Dusty trails often lead to nowhere
Through the annals of a wasted life.

  Lingers forever, without fading

i have came to 
the realization that
through out 
the years there has
been a steady creation of 
mental defamation 
character assassination
misleading slander 
perpetuating false 
ideals to continuously
replay within your mind
concerning you and I...

Intimacy

Love
bonded
amid man

perpetuating relationships, love.
 
Close relatives, heartfelt family ties. 
woven through hearts
reflecting

Living to love?
Stab me swiftly
In the heart. Where
He watches as its
Red empties
Itself.

The meat tastes like pity.
So he smiles at me with pity,
Holds my hand with pity.
I am his,
In pity.

Enough.

A past perpetuating pity
Has no future for a love.
Remove His scythe.
And the fool, one day, will restore
Until I hurt for his love, once more....

Circumstances gatherings
Porcelain entrappings
Mr. and Mrs Johns
Keep forgetting to turn their praise on
Photosonic devastating 
Oh! But I just keep perpetuating 
While  those denisions keep on  arriving 
More to this 
This and more 
I am surviving 
Circumstantial gatherings
Keep the people laughing

Acceptance can be your worst enemy,
Causing you to waste valuable time.
Creating this person that you really aren’t.
Expressions unreal 
Perpetuating a persona, 
Teetering on the edge of collapse.
Anticipating inclusion in the 
Non-existence of inclusivity.
Causing more and more anxiety.
Express who you are and be content.

REINFORCEMENT

We are looking
All searching 
For a gear that fits
For things we won’t admit
For things that will numb our hurting
Habits collect comfort become hard to quit

Reinforcement 
Why we avoid our pain
When it is what defines us.
Gives us our true name
We should accept  it without blame
let it serve as remindings of those cowardice kings
Ruling poisonous reigns
Perpetuating the disease....

What Is Woke?
Miracle Man
3/13/2023

Say social awareness don’t give me “woke”,
I’m not impressed with one’s use of slang.
Perpetuating it’s use has made it a joke,
politicians use this word to deliver harangue. 

Some think it’s impressive spewing woke
and think that it makes them some big deal.
But they remain in my eyes a solitary spoke,
and a solitary spoke doesn’t make a wheel.

If we feed our soil and root systems
more nutritiously balanced meals
than we feed ourselves
through mouth,
but also nose,
ears,
eyes,
skin,
mindbodies,

we might all learn and live long enough
to absorb
commune
communicate
cooperate
more ecotherapeutically effective,
self with other optimizing,
perpetuating
co-arising co-gravitating
a more polyculturally dense menu 
of healthy intent
and multicultural diet 
of wealthy robust content....

The Devil has no
honor...therefore, he 
only rewards himself – 

Evil his concept – 
an eternal cross...

There is no partisanship...
only a price to be paid:

his currency the hearts
and souls of foolish
men and women, who
place themselves outside
of God – perpetuating the 
lie of death. 

One does not enter the Kingdom
by mere confession, nor fear driven
devotion – only through Christ Love 
and His Presence, one having become 
in life the prayer.......

Thanksgiving is a day
 
we notably celebrate.

Joyful gatherings,

bonding of families,
 
extra special meals

yielding kind, loving, hearts
 
perpetuating vibrant,
  
quality remembrances:

zestful, uplifting, xenial!

Today’s Political Climate
Tom’s Opinion
October 17, 2020

Politicians come to us with conflicting voices,
all intended to sway and influence our thought.
We’re bombarded daily with a myriad of choices,
most succeed in leaving us feeling distraught.

In today’s political climate, it’s mostly fake news?
Spewed are half truths causing many to scoff.
As Progressive Socialist’s are perpetuating their views,
career politicians continue reaping a payoff.

Flowering nature defines regrowth
within cycles of perpetuating life
Rotational seasons universally 
acclaimed, fruitful, abundant, then
withering to autumnal variegated scents
and scenic hues of vibrant golds, copper 
and plum feted reds decrying diminishing 
twilight hour before extinguishing 
concealed beneath the inclement 
winter’s blanket of snow


Vibrational throb
instrumentally wakens
snowdrop’s snowy head
