Life:
Not a swift race,
Rough journey.
Perplexities and perils on the way:
Patience.

Dreamed:
A brave heart,
Endure hardness.
Under difficult circumstances:
Prominence.

Shalt not listen.
Effective means signified.
Legitimate means require.
Fresh hurrahs let.


Satisfactions desire.
Adjective pronouns search.
Manifold perplexities stand.
Excursive glees mean

My body flows effortlessly through this air space
That sometimes chokes and holds me firm in position
I blank at the perplexities, unknown all
What of this? I muse wondering in relearning
Will the same prognosis deliver? Or like
The air and body will I walk effortlessly?...

A sojourner of life embarks on unchartered territory,
when he/she is uncertain how to feel,
The everchanging perplexities of life makes for an 
emotional journey filled with strife,
stirring up suppressed feelings that have
no outlets,
Creating knots and a quagmire of negative vibes........

Amid life’s troubles and perplexities,
Worry has no hold on him,
Amid roaring and turbulent seas,
He sails undaunted,
On a journey permeated by horrifying darkness,   
He walks unperturbed,
Though fear stealthily creeps in,
It doesn’t have an abode,
It takes no seat,
He has his eyes on the future,
Hope is his pillar....

T ommorow talks tough,
A sking all already answered,
T ackling today's threshold
T hrough time's turf,
E voking equable emotions
R oundly rocking retentions,
E verlastingly entrapped
D uring dreams devastatingly drapped;

H elplessly hiding
O doriferous oddities,
P ushing perplexities past purpose's
E xtensively eroding ending....

Drowned in the sea of my troubles,
I'm reaching for a breath,
Stifled by the weight of my perplexities,
I'm moving to where the light splits,
Up and up I go,
Pushing my way through,
Wiggling my way past, 
I'm losing my breath in the fight,
My strength is ebbing away,
I have died a million times,    
The stump still held firm to the ground,
I live to see a new day,
I live to fight again.

Let me burn in this paradise,
Fill my chest with butterflies…

A fate with no restrict
Thrills of rapture and perplexities in a mix

Whisper those sweet sultry rasps
With that smile I love so much 

Subtle savor of your lips to your fingertips,
Give me something I don’t wanna miss.

Baby you don't need to ask,
For you I'll lay down this mask.

Make me vulnerable in this yellow light,
After a dark fiery fight....

In this line of life a parallel listed standing in realities trying to breathe
Enclosed in a circle surrounded by people who are broken
Corralled in perplexities trying to find my due fond memories
My misgivings are taken being toyed with spiritually broken
I was just a token just standing here hopin
I'm such a mess tattered torn yet I am bless

Ascending unto the fourth pinnacles auspicious plyth ~


To quantumly observe these plateaus regions of oeuvre


Molten monograms of monarchies scripted immure; immolating


These gravitating exhibits of perceptions inter alia


Past particles of meticulously latticed perplexities....

....Quid pro quo?!

Walking along the river shore
Enjoying the cool crisp fall air
Warm sun upon my face and more
This event in life so rare

Those smooth stones made rounder with age
Some large, some medium, some small
One different rough sharp_rage
Never change_ be rough 'til pall

Maybe place in center river
Where more water, stronger currents
Erase perplexities _sliver
Away ruff edges__deterrents

Can this ruff gruff rock become smooth
Then lay close to smooth rocks and soothe...

Hid from the world,
None of this they must see,
Concealed from my friends,
This to them may be strange,
Cloaked from my home,
Phantom I may seem to be,
Caught in a web of perplexities, 
I fight to be freed,
Entangled in a replayed contest, 
I persevere to conquer,
Edged in by opposing forces,
I push against the barriers,
Though none of this I can comprehend,
I'm unperturbed like a river at dawn.
