nature is calling
autumn somber transition
falls kaleidoscope

leaves on trees so dance
branches wave their fone farewell
autumn's prominence

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

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

On our promises;
The embraced darknesses;
Corrales our accomplishments;
Septic views of toxic waste;
Post makes haste;
Prominence

The wisdom tree
grasps knowingly
secured by gnarly roots.
Reaching heights prestigiously,
bearing rings of truth.

A canopy of prominence,
shades of all you've seen.
Do tell of landscape changes,
and what has come to be....

Napoleon, the Military Commander,
Rose to prominence as the indefatigable French leader.
Stood on victor’s podium for long, but Fate pulled down Bonaparte.
A deflated balloon in Waterloo, with his armaments torn apart!...

I ask to be able to forgive wrongdoings 
I ask for love, peace and harmony amongst mayhem
I ask for truth and righteousness 
I ask for prominence of spirit
I ask for absolution
I ask for the truth, courage, remembrance and glory in life 
Spiritual consciousness is present so I will ask...

Let your advent
Be a venture 
Let your living 
Be an adventure

Insipidity
Will not have validity
Idiocy
Will not have prominence

Do not waste your days
Do not ruin your years

Have drive
Move to thrive

As you are born
Rise like the sun
Grow with shine
Realize that you 
Are a human...

WHAT IS THIS PLACE--Heaven

have you been there, yet?
Have you been to prominence
just what is this place

just where is this space
state of being important
preeminence fame

could it be heaven
the place where God dwells always
eternal heaven

Prominence walking barefoot
Check out the chaos below
The soundless roar of foam and smoke
The banshee howls at the rising tide
Dragged and swept away
The wind chafes.
Tortured through a slap
It is ghostly and eerie in her hair
She must tiptoe over cliffs.

Intro
His status quo
Formidable

Filled with confidence
0ver those waiting to succeed
He proceeds to assert his dominance
To maintain his prominence
Amongst apex predators he dwells
Where on the regular tempors flare, egos swell
You never know what's next
He stays prepared to flex
Welcome to the life of an alpha male...

That part of our anatomy
often remembered first, usually,
and by which others form an opinion 
of our character, unfortunately 
is the face. With some women 
it takes a backseat in preference
for another of greater prominence,
located just a glance below the face
or if you prefer just above the waist, 
and is often doubly false, say peeved men....

 The Sun Shines, Though Alone, Adrift
 In it's rightful place of Prominence,
 Nor Scarred, Nor Scorned by it's Flames Of Life
 Eternal by the Fire, Eternal by the Light
 Sublime Regal by Flight
 Luminous In Through the Veils Of Time,
 Sword and Spear Of Infinity
 Stone and Shield of Destiny,
 GLORY, It Soon Shall Be
 Crowned Once More For Eternity

‘Twas a rather sodden evening
When the congregation had begun departing
Pending an austere twister
I know not if it was deliberately
though for some reason the bright red hue 
That comprises your vehicle ensnared my eyes
it was in that moment when your lovely smile 
Rose to prominence in the 
Gradually diluting presence of the rain
Chuckles sprang forth in merriment...

Flames emanate everywhere
heat can be felt across the town
Every fire in sight
glows a different tint
red roars
blues bereave
turquoise turns blue
to their shade
yellow radiate their aura in the form of yowl
purple flare prominence
white glimmers grace and wings
black emits mystery
and among the other million blazes
denizens of the rainbow city
burn with diversity
in their souls...

You ask those questions why
Head and Hands and spirit races
towards the skies
Unequivocal
A man speaks of promises
He raised much questions he's an alarmist
Well poised well-spoken man a politician
Devout
His specialist is attrition
To erase the nation
Does prominence is dominated by Satan



Unequivocal

see how they run

summer come and gone
see how they run

frost, its icy fingers
touched our lands this morning
light crept sluggishly 
from behind the horizon
to do battle for prominence
here above my cottage.

the white-cold face of winter
smiled surreptitiously
arrogant in knowing 
that his power made all life run
before him as sheep, 
stalked by the white wolf.

see how they  run!...

You are the home to come back to
a prominence of my starry body
enduring there as a warning
to all of that asteroids throbbing at our
affixed  paper door

this soul is engraved with
each of your microscopically misformed curve
irregularly modified word
aligned posture
parted attitude and
shards of perception collected in crumpled framework of skeleton

in all those desecrated parts of you lies a thought of me...

Phoenix is reduced to ashes.
Consumed by a powerful flame.
They lay strewn all over the ground.
Just mere ashes, no more than dust.
Hardly anything that's living.
However, this is not the end.
The bird comes together once more.
It's more dynamic than before.
Into the sky, ascend and soar.
It reaches prominence again.

Women Have a Voice
Women have a voice
Strength in their silence
They have caused heads to turn
Rocking the world with defiance.
Marie Currie turned the tide
Against male dominance
Mother Teresa the weaker side
Overpowered men of prominence
Much against their heaves and sighs
To save many without supplies.
Women are stronger now,
With social platforms giving voice
They control every rank
Which once, men them employed....

Weary, sullen, mournful face,
A tale of internal disturbance tells,
Perhaps of some chronic illness,
Or of current affairs!

Dark rings around the eyes,
Malar prominence and sunken cheeks,
Malar flush of high fever,
Makes the diagnosis more clear

Clinicians! beware! pay attention!
It may be Acute consumption!

( Note:-- The first episode of 
Acute consumption i.e.
 Acute miliary tuberculosis may
 masquerade Acute bronchitis. )...
