  —one final serpent to mount

With excuses now abandoned

A liberal
Is moderately progressive
Believes in giving generously
Broadening the mind in a general way.
A liberal is not too strict and not too literal
Is tolerant and open-minded
Favors good reforms
Loves Liberty....

Letter to Sharon

You were a dancing queen,
a random unicyclist,
an overeducated ‘dark thinker’.
You were resourceful and independent,
a stubborn fighter,
a fanciful prize. 
Why did you leave?
I miss you.

Abortion on demand and euthanasia
  Life as sacred -- out the window

Police-free neighborhoods of guns and gangs
  Innocents shot dead, no remorse, no pangs

Such desecration of Life is highly regressive
  Why, O why, is it deemed 'progressive'...

Benjamin Harrison was a progressive President of the USA
He installed electricity in the White House one Wednesday.
We kept begging him to use it, but his face turned ashen and gray.
He never touched a light switch, his fear could not be sluffed away....

We can unite globally all together as one,
and bring about an entirely new progressive civilization,
that would benefit worldwide the environment and everyone....

shining dawn
dew in forlorn!

no; come out
touch and feel

let the dew of

to quench the eternal 
thirst for beautiful life
on the progressive way 
of satiate born

Juxtaposition,
Of ever-changing moments:
In dynamic love.
·
Emotions invert,
Colliding interfaces:
Of lost pulsing time.
·
Progressive attempts,
Indefinable feelings:
Of the human bond.
·
Opposed through the mess,
And in the dynamic end:
We mesh together....

Ethereally, breathtakingly beautiful

Miniscule your faults no compare
 
Maddeningly, temperamentally playful

Athletically challenging flair


Essentially charismatic though guileless

Monumental in your achieved goal

Motherly manifestations you bless

A spiritually progressive soul....

Corn

Pulse

Twirling

Spinal wave

Decoded rings square

Progressive loss of a tin spark

Ineffable tidal clap remains in partial sight

Cycled dragon spoon enhances sensorial spore road

Recreation of constant growth

Inverted slices

Sound cone

Snails

They told us dream vast
Never knowing it wouldn't last
Imagination would die
As time flew by
Speculations kept us progressive
But really it was unimpressive
Surely the truth will come out
With all the doubt
Of those before despaired
While we should be scared
Inspiration is weak
Believe and Seek...
