Premium Member Raise the Bar

In a bar room they boldly contested
Though both were quite fully breasted
On the wall who’d pee higher
The dame or her squire
He lost when "no hands" was requested

Fate

We think we have free will,
we don't,
we are what we are and are predictable,
we cannot stray too far from our nature,
for sure and if we raise the bar,
we are still fated to be what we are,
not one goes too far,
it's written in the stars.

Bury My Soul

Bury my soul in autumn leaves
So that the wind might blow away
Memories of mistakes I made
That breaks my heart today

Sticks and stones can break the bones
But words can crush the spirit
Raise the bar but once again
And I'll still try to clear it

Premium Member Zen mode

raise the bar
stop pause blink

we are present
at both ends
simultaneously 

intent furious 
peace tranquil

move up and down 
ladder of vibration
seamlessly 

we acquire thus
power of bilocation

there is a caveat 
the seeker 
must disappear

Night Hunter

Everybody’s bad day…
a badge without a star
the one who stood when others fled,
each day to raise the bar

The one they all could come to,
when freedom was in chains
the light that rampaged in the night
—to hunt what darkness claimed

(The New Room: April, 2022)

Premium Member Glow Again

Here and now start to glow again! 
There is always music and magick.
Adhere to the rules that are shattered,
mirror on the wall’s playing a trick;

Stream of soul lingers in fingertips,
beam like the beacon that you are;
Deem it so and so mote it be 
Dance a little harder raise the bar.

Premium Member Twinkle Snowman

Twinkle Snowman loved the evening star
Feeling it came from somewhere afar
Glittery diamond paved way for dreams
Floating in tandem with starlit beams

Heaven is close Twinkle told his friend
Magical missives from December end
Showed him mystical power from this star
Comes every Christmas to raise the bar

Premium Member THANKFUL THAT WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT

Today I’m thankful that we are all different…
that we are not all the same.
that we look different
think differently
have different beliefs…
gifferent longings…
different names.

And I pray that one day
this vast and different world will raise the bar…
by accepting all our differences
looking beyond them
and seeing just how similar we are.

Raising the Bar

I’ll raise the bar and do what’s right
Raising the bar comes purely with
A fight. I’m Christ representative
In this dark unfriendly world, refusing
 To get stuck in any old mould. 

To employers and customers confidence
Is the key.  I’ll strive to be the best I can
Possibly be. God promise my labour would 
not be in vain, if I raise the bar consistently
and call on his name.

Reflection

Every day, we come face-to-face
With what we were and what we are.
As a part of the human race,
We’re taught to hide a scar.
But within me, from the deepest place,
I know that I’ve come far.
I’ve got big dreams to raise the bar because
Every day, when I come face-to-face
With who I was and who I am,
I want to think I lived with grace
But, I’m even better today! Goddamn!

The Stage

I come from the world,
of the misunderstood.
Where feelings and emotions,
Always have to be good.

I come from a place,
Filled with smiles and expression.
Not one lousy day…
Can cause any depression.

I come from the stage,
where you always raise the bar.
Just a great face and smile,
Will get you far.

A stage is isn’t just a place where people perform,
Because behind what you see…there is so much more.

Straight From the Heart

1/6/17


I'd like to raise a toast

Life ain't a joke
Been trying to stay afloat
And make the most
While I see another night and day approach
Near and far from any trains and boats
Not one to rely on faith or hope
Opportunities you either take or don't
Time you never want to waste or loaf


Straight from the heart
Is how I paint my art

But now I raise the bar
As I star gaze from afar

Lulu

My cats a tad bit different so I'm here to raise the bar
He won't climb a fence adores riding in the car 
His favorite trip begins when we're off to PETCO 
Sitting in his basket to watch his fishing show!

He's Spider Man for Halloween all the kids adore
they're here to Trick Or Treat and pet Lulu on the floor
I could go on forever talking about my love
instead I've left photos for you to see above

Where the Heart Resides

That will teach them to assume,
All the things they thought they knew,
Raise the bar, be bold, ask questions,
Take the time to search intentions,
Look at others and look at your own,
Don't assume unless you know,
And even then test again,
Because words can be fickle, and make pretend,
Inspire thoughts, make them think,
To reevaluate the value of things,
They'll be surprised at what they find,
Learning where the heart resides.

WHO WE ARE AT OUR CORE

WHO WE ARE AT OUR CORE

Are we who we think we are
Or more likely what others think
Perhaps multifaceted, we may be
Or neither, always a mystery
Taking self-analysis to the brink
But in the end, just raise the bar

At our core, whatever that may be
Some sort of an inherent disposition
Or just acting out our genetic code
Delving deep to find the mother lode
When psychoanalysis is an imposition
Will anyone ever know the real me

Premium Member Bullies Never Win

Bullies lose every time
Bullies can never win
Taking a country hostage
And its hard working citizens
Is a serious and outrageous crime
Calm down, being in rage
Over nonsense is unacceptable
Bullies are despicable
Peace is better than war
Let's raise the bar
To be better and less hostile
It's great to be humble and to have style.

Premium Member Mental Excercise Number 36

Never spill secrets.
Always raise the bar.
Sometimes go in hiding.
Never steal sundries.
Always look to win.
Sometimes cry.
Never arrive late.
Always appear content.
Sometimes freak out.
Never sound alarms.
Always handle it yourself.
Sometimes find windows.
Never kiss your neighbor.
Always leave a note.
Sometimes pour your heart out.
Never stop too soon.
Always reassess.
Sometimes rip it to shreds.
Never leave it for another.
Always do your best.
Sometimes is never enough.
