A black cloud discriminates effortlessly,
forms gauche haunting images
justifying Kraken legend.
Malevolent nimbostratus
orchestrate prejudice quotable rain squalls,
travelling unbiased verifying
what xtremes yonder zoom.

Quotable Words

if you think trouble is always following you : 
maybe you should check your peeps, 
it might not always be you 
but maybe its the company you keep 


you have to work very hard these days to get what you need
 ***it may cost you to sweat and bleed***
so try and try again if first you don't succeed**
*but beware that you don't get overwhelm by greed****

I Can Not Get My Heart Around My Head

One thing that stands out above all the rest when it comes to politics, history, or geography, is that all three are shaped by the winners. 

Losers have no voice in politics.
Losers have no country on a map.
Losers have no quotable history. 

So, if you find yourself failing in the lessons of politics, history, or geography don’t put the blame on your brain, put it on your loving heart instead.

Premium Member Love Is An Act

Love is an act of endless forgiveness, 
a tender look which becomes a habit- Peter Ustinov



When two souls become one
"Love is an act of endless forgiveness,
a tender look which becomes a habit"
an everyday practice
of wrong to right
an unselfish shared feat
with an everlasting ending

It's the beating of two hearts
the endlessness of forgiveness 
as we grow in age
a habit that will never get old

Love Is a Malady

"Love is a lady for which there is no cure." John Dryden

Love is a malady for which there is no cure.
Some endure a bitter pill.
They dare to love,
Seeking Heaven's benevolence.
But the pains of eros 
Outweigh its gain.
Love is a malady for which there is no cure.
Alluring is the hope of pleasure.
For this a wounded soul will risk,
Seeking a glorious romance.
Though the heart breaks,
And the heart will never end.
