Twisting, manipulating, tormenting
Struggle between right and wrong
Persuading, reassuring, convincing
Light, righteous

voice
       crying,
       yet
       a melody

full
  of feeling,
full
  of emotions
passion
     portrayed
perpetual
pounding
   persuading
me
to
answer

This
Ornate
Fine silver
Gathering dust.
Hands splayed, overlaid
With golden promises
Caught in persuading rings.
Blood diamond among crystals,
Unsullied with obligations and
Laying in your four chambered treasure chest...

UNTITLED 09142016
Believing is sometimes just suicidal
Persuading is pure denial
Let's burn down the heart to build survival
Everything is nothing in the wake of technical

Why this melancholy that pierces my defences, that holds me
That invades this gentle heart, leaving its mark, a lasting legacy?
Will I ever fully understand this broken, flawed nature holding me
Persuading me, that I need it’s comforting, such a tragic fallacy.

Her eyes captured
Angels flew by
Persuading my soul

Almond shaped
Delicately demure
My heart gasped

Seductively lost
Breaching my spirit
She fulfilled my passion.

Persuading you with
my verses

Never convincing you
with my yarn

Your heartstrings twist
in braided strands

Attention mine
disarmed

All shouts have turned
to whispers

New melodies
resound

A phrase to dance
inside your head

As love
—each word surrounds

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2020)...

I miss bright
Skies of Dakota night.
Ever since I started into roam

Memories of their sparkling beauty call me home,
Persuading me to leave this place of steel and chrome.

Dakota skies are so wide and clear,
It seems as though from there
Stars are near.

What is this?  
This feeling?
Screaming at me for freedom,
Trying to break free of its confines.
Persuading me for its chance to roam ,
And it worked,
I let it in,
Its Flowing through me now,
Its gotten hold of my emotions.
It's furious,
Tempting me to let it out,
Let the anger take complete control,
And so…....
Watch out,
Its free…...

To delay
Would be
Averse
Destiny
And time
Adverse

Shiny planet
Time reverse
Years behind
To go
Traverse

Diamond waiting
Time pervading
Knowing nothing
Spinning
Waiting

All persuading
Frozen places
Dense as iron
Telling
Traces

Crystalline
It waits for us
Years to come
And haste for us

Will this planet
Yield its wealth
Forever lie
In cold
And stealth?...

Summer rain like windswept silk or
Kitten belly fur
Instilling feeling into leaves
Persuading cows to milk
Perhaps the drip from cabin eaves
Is edging to the flowered bed
Neath windowed view of Fall
Glowing in late Summer sun
A sparkling veil of dazzled drops
Lingering as they spill
O lowly summer raindrops they
Not driven only falling
Gleeful  feeling flowing to fill...

An oldest wood existing still with a ray of hope
Enlightens her children with mighty words to cope.
She speaks: Struggles are indispensable art of life
We should stay faithful to God and hardly strive.

Though humans aim to destroy us for money
Always shower positive seeds dipped in honey~
Must pray not to lose our broken wobbly boughs,
As many lives cling upon us with lamenting echoes !...

Youthful Guilt

Penitence embedded his soul
For persuading his lover
To unite their labials:
Not deep but shallow felt.

The hormone spills out
Till he was tensed;
And inside him—
Concealed from the other flesh—
Oozed a yogurt-like liquid:
That makes the world enormous…

The dryness underneath 
Was dampen and reeks—
Of creation gland—
But his inner man 
Imaged in the Cross shrinks:
Evince youthful guilt...

Longingly, desire to see your face

Achingly, missing your company

Jealously, checking on your emails

Languishing, in your caressing arms

Surreptitiously, following you

Suspecting, your infidelity

Persuading you, to do what I want

Laughing, when you say unfunny jokes

Nine times out of ten, your forgiveness


(Common traits of people who say they are in love)

G-et the lead out, 
I-n snatching men from fire; 
N-ever linger nor tarry, 
A-s you do your sacred desire.

V-ery good to get the lead out, 
I-n persuading the people; 
L-etting them know the truth, 
L-ike the lesson on soul.
A-im to get the lead out, 
N-ever go slow nor delay; 
U-ntil you see the sunrise, 
E-arly July twenty-ninth day.
V-ictory is in sight, erasing each and every doubt; 
A-llow your heart and mind to get the lead out....

To call her tall voice again,
ouch! she drove me crazy
My addiction to lonely couches
Uttering I love in remarkable sense-
In vain,
She sunk deep in her thoughts
Drawing near the deep thoughts
Against spirits of abstain
Christened by the dreams.
Bitter woes came as assassin
Persuading with smile in style-
the end destined in hearts'
As the nos got drained,
In a derailment chained-
As the slain mercy felt done
vanishing like the demons....

the faith of a musterd seed
findly took hold
grabed me
pulled me in a surging shock cruent 
I felt it 
I could not release it 
so overwelming 
the sharp imiges
vioces from above and below
white light chaseing my crown like a throbing train
the fire weald up inside me
and my noes began to bleed 
I saw truth as it was
each lie as a lie 
my demons all lined up
crying for my retrun
beging and persuading my down fall
with a beam of light 
they disapaired...

reverse me
I'm in the wrong direction
I have no connection
to anywhere I go
confound me
I need some meaty thinking
I crave someone to get me
at the first mighty blink
coerse me
I need some persuading
to stay here among the living
do some serious singing
 with the friends in my life
delight me
with any willful fantasy
in which we can be partners
and speak in secret tongues
believe in me
give me time and rapt attention
dont lie but stand behind me
be my guide...
