God gave me the greatest character defects

Reservation unconditionally

Hidden mission in seclution,
close to owners private mansion,
military reservation.
Grapes are grown here.
Soil's good given cultivation.
Seed crops show wealth.

An Indian chief, named Bold Eagle,
Once lived with his faithful old beagle.
He maintained his station,
Without reservation,
In a style that was in tents, but regal.

She held him without reservation
His breathing calmed,
Her heart pounded and
softly she said, "I wanna know you."
and he said "You will."
And now that it's over
she got what she wished for.

A sinner in search of salvation
Discovered the Cherokee Nation
So many look white
The fit was just right
What white man needs a reservation?

So much lost…
so little gained
Prairies in judgment,
our destiny framed
So little gained
for what we lost
Spirits now orphaned
—tomorrow the cost
(Browning Montana: Blackfoot Reservation - May, 1995).

Miss Mae West
Party animal heart in her ample chest
The wily lady a player without reservation
"Come on up and see me" her not so subtle invitation!

In the world of love
No one is sorry for anyone
Only who doesn't know how to value
When I give this love to you
There's no reservation
I have no request at all
Wish you could treat the same
Wish you could always be true.

Light Verse
holding onto a secret mantra
said to be meant for us alone
lovingness of heart hardened
conscience asked us to atone
what we know let us pass on
freely and without reservation
ask: can we abandon anyone
may love be our sole vibration

Beneath the Wolf’s breath,
rocks cradle my resting form.
Wild rice sways, whispers—
nature's soft secrets unfurl,
beauty bathed in dawn's light.
Note: Wild rice growing at mouth of Wolf River in Wisconsin on Menominee Indian Reservation.

Bingo halls and liquor stores,
what's happened to this land?
They call it a reservation,
a word you cannot stand.
The deep gut ache that you feel
as native blood boils deep inside
comes from where spirits roam free
with a fiercely eternal pride.

Love with all your being
Love without hesitation
Inquiry, debating
Love with all your senses
All that you can and are capable of
Love without work
Cause or comprehending
Love without reservation
Apprehension, motivation
Love now and always
Love all

Human kindness never weakens the stamina
Even though it is as free as heavenly manna
It never softens the fiber of a free people
A nation does not have to be cruel to be powerful
Authority, without any condition and reservation
All belongs to the people

(a Magic 9 poem)
To show you my love,
I need to take action.
My words are not enough,
Nor are emoji blowing kisses.
Reservation makes it tough
To express how I feel.
It's easier to stroke a dove,
To give it my affection,
Than to shower you with love.

surrendering in blind faith
seeking genuine serenity
afraid deep down
to let go without reservation
to the point it may
change my life momentously
that it may change everything
thinking i’m not ready

My reservation made
My ticket punched
My racket strung
My hole card trumps
My lead dog ready
My rudder long
My hope restructured
My spirit strong
My story ending
My fable begins
My memories endowed
All faith now within
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2016)

it’s no accident
faeries in her daily thoughts
for she is magic
I watch her mind think
daring escapades for fun
smile she is mine
hey grammie she says
i’m a unicorn today
no reservation
my face turns smile-lee
her three year old loveliness
helps me to fly too

There is no problem with overcrowded prisons
Don’t worry
All the jails are overcrowded
You have to make a reservation
These days
Go for one more traffic violation
Indulge in your crimes
Bring a cushion
When it is your turn
And the waiting is over
When all the prisoners stare at you
You know you are at home

I read your poems with bated anticipation
and little reservation.
They make me laugh, they make me cry
a few of you make me say "Oh MY"!
That's okay,
everyone has something meaningful to say.
Thank you for your sharing
even your souls unbearing.
Let me see the real you
and I'll share a little of me too.

You think that,
my favourite time is
taking the pan
and cooking dinner for you....
Its not true....
I have no obligation,
for daily meal preparation,
Further more...
I find no attraction
for your appetite satisfaction..
So therefore,
Lets quickly change the situation
and make a dinner reservation:-)

There's beauty in the smallest pearl--
the darkest grain of sand--
the cry of eagle and of lark--
the curve of sea and land--
I have seen it in the human heart --
within it, folded down:
beauty --deep as could be hid--
the Pearl Diver found.

Verse
To give unselfishly
Freely, completely
Without reservation
Or restriction
Without limitation
Or inhibition
To give
All you have
To give
And then
Once more
To bare your soul
Without recrimination
To give your heart
Without expectation
To love
Without doubt
Without fear
This is true love
Pure love
A Sacrificial Love.

They call me NightWolf
I'm walking these reservation streets Im known to imitate buffalo hooves
Im walking knocturnal Im a black owl sniping prey at night like I should
I RIP MY ENEMIES TO BITS LIKE A ONE MAN PACK OF WOLVES
And people wonder why I can be known dark as soldier knight tearing deer apart bit by bit Im known as NightWolf

The Indians are Najavo
The army says "GO"
"Go to the reservation,
they are for you preservation"
Wovoka started the Ghost Dance
To pull Indians out of their trance
"We will fight for reform,
and we will not conform"
Custer discovered gold,
in the land so cold
Forces clashed at the Little Bighorn
A battle full of scorn
