if you were persuaded to play 
me like you do that guitar…...

Persuaded his wife to try it
As if it were fate
They both ate and ate
Because they loved grease and fry it...

clothed in rust, night reveals a

lonely Halloween...

Illusions of my childhood

drift away with falling leaves...

Special, secret fruit
Adam persuaded to eat
Good and evil known
fig leaves cover us

Sin!

As he ran his fingers through her hair, her gentle seduction persuaded him near.
The touch was real and the thought was there, is this love or is this fear?
His mind now questions will he be alone?
Perhaps his answer will never be known....

Monday, wake up feeling jaded,
Tuesday, try to see what's true
Wednesday feeling more persuaded-
For Thursday's new point of view
Friday seeming more degraded
Saturday, question what I knew
And Sunday: look what I created!
A week I've sadly misconstrued......

Pretty pancake peacock pointedly persuaded powerhouse pig
To publicly plan porcupine’s playful pink planetary probability placement.
Pleasure palace princesses provided puny particulars providing big
Porky plebes who placated porcupines, poking peacock’s replacement....

I’m starting to admit it
to the people
who will try to talk me out of it.
At least they get it.

Smokin’ and drinkin’:
the two things I do best –
persuaded my inhibitions;
had tight lips singin’.

A beautiful song;
the way it came out.
A communion of secrets,
right or wrong....

Persuaded by a gypsy imposter to have my Tarot read 
There were two cards missing from her Tarot deck
She hadn't figured out which ones yet
Didn't seem to be important
Mentioning it was all bull anyway
Although there was one event in my future 
she was sure of
I was still going to have to pay....

Her dream of falcon, flamingo and furious things
Persuaded a parade of ideas indicating bird sings
A prancing parakeet provides a penguin’s sweet play
A clock in the shadows give her more reason to stay
Inside a dream where she is safe from the world
Ideas are tucked in close, until later unfurled....

An archer from Sherwood made shooting an art
Persuaded the wealthy from surplus to part.
He fell for a maid at first sight
But fearing to tell her outright
Enlisted friend Eros to capture her heart.

Listen to poem:

Precariously poised on 
the precipitous precipice,
I pondered whether a nose-dive plummet
into the whirlpool lagoon below
was prudent, well-advised and provident.
But the angry impassive persona,
of the ever so cross porpoises,
seen purposefully prancing there
gawking up at me,
persuaded me to prudently, 
postpone the plunge....

Ever so warm he held me;
So special his love prayed for me;
Just as he touch me, I felt his heart beating;
So strong is his faith his love surrounds me;
This son of God persuaded me;
Share his agape love;
Ever so warm he held me;
So special his love prayed for me;
Halleluiah

Robbers in their den:
The harshest of men, 
In all ten, 
Their boss,  terrible Ben!! 
Stepbrother of as terrible Ken!! 
Now, not with his pistol but confusing pen
Their next operation indicating 'when'
And much persuaded to give it a name
One wouldn't have guessed, nursing mother hen
For his having once favored 'operation wren'...

Observing

I do not have to watch the grass
 To be persuaded of its growing.
Nor have I seen the wicked wind
 But again, I can feel it blowing.

The mere fact that I cut the grass
 Has been quite evident enough. 
And the wind oft appearing as wicked
May also be as marshmallow fluff.

Life like war has many casualties

It shows pity on none

I long for perfection in my time

Knowing I’ll never find that someone

I make me ‘Me’ not u so remember that!


Defined by what I think I am

Explained by who I aspire to be

Persuaded by nothing and no one

Bejeweled by my own aspirations

I make me ‘Me’ not u so remember that!...

By day its all a blur
But at Twilight I become hers
Bonfires s'mores and kisses 
Discussing vanity thoughts 
For vanity sake
But once in a blue moon 
She becomes mine once more 
Caressed by gentle swaying eaves
For all I have I have in her
She Delights me so easily
In the Twilight the Prelude to something more
I am persuaded to be hers forever more...

Monsoon set fire in the heart.
At that,persecute your distance.
Song love's heart sings it.
Without your,now it is not possible.
Mind fish,like,aggrieved.
The sense persuaded me to be mad at you.
Your thirst,it increases.
The heartbeat that you call.
Without your,heart does not found someone.
Monsoon set fire in the heart.
At that,persecute your distance....

ohhh
rolled my sleep
in
the
dark
sold my weep
to
the
harp
who eyes are we anyway
time for time just my delay
moisture from her lips persuaded
it was just my heart that she jaded
she sings poetry to desert sands
in
the
rain
my ilusions
just a stain
rolled my dreams
through your pain
sewed all seams
seamstress
games
rolled
my
sleep

(about 8 July of the 1998 year)
---------------------------------------
The month of May persuaded me,
« Listen! Believe me, 
Spring weeps, fortunately, tears of happiness,
Be not afraid and do not worry, please!
My dear, all must be well.» 
But after 2 months,
July – my blossoming executioner – 
The summer killer 
who hid behind a birch,
Has shot me directly in my heart 
and has taken my boy from me....

APPROVALIt does not matter how hard we try
In our fight for approval in others sight

25% of people will NEVER be partial to you
25% DON’T like you but might be persuaded to
25% of people DO but may be persuaded to change their view
Only 25% will love you unconditionally
Although perhaps not continually

It does not matter how hard we try
We will never get it 100% right<>...

Aroma of lilacs wafted to me as I peered in
Feeling the mysticism of magic, sensing hidden faeries
A gentle breeze coaxed me to come a bit closer
Intimidated by the reverence I felt, I held back.

A monarch swished past me, on her way
I heard the trill of a joyful robin and her young ones
Ancestral voices welcomed me, persuaded me to take a step
Inside the magical world of elves, gnomes, faeries, and flowers...
