Love is wonderful love is kind.
It puts a smile when love is kind.
It doesn't envy it does not boast.

When love is kind. :)

I drugged my demons
Ritualistic suicide
Speaking the word
Of indifference-
I woke one day embodied in manhood–
Self searching –
Self seeking-
I began the anatomy of a prince in ruins-
The legend remains,
A child-

My true nature, I’m told, I must seek.
I’ve been daft, I’ve been bold, I’ve been meek.
I’ve been angry and slow.
I’ve been high; I’ve been low.
So my "self-seeking" prospects are bleak.

There are those that seek their own
self-seeking folk - wild oats they've sown
In air afloat they drift aloft
above the masses on breezes tossed
when land they do - great shock received
they find cost heavy o' pride and greed

To wit, sans pearl, mere grit and sand,
an irritant, sebaceous cyst,
expressive as a mongrel’s gland,
self-seeking randy churlish tryst!
[bard2]
Eccentric heel’s ethos raised grand,
eschews finesse, rough skewers gist,
a numpty dumpty, brillig panned,
thou frontal lob, now dully bris’d!

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast.
It is not proud, it is not rude.
It is not self-seeking.
Love is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil,
but it rejoices in the truth.
Love always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

I do not know?
Plight plays pretty prose
Deed defies dense dose
Clever charms coast close
Love leaves legacy
Meet most minds motley
Hell hurls hurts hotly
~~~~~~~~~
Fire frees form fleeting
Measure moves meeting
Succinct self seeking
Love lifts life lofty
Laughter loves loosely
Live language lovely

He sought The Light of the World
an ancient quest,
yet was easily distracted,
too inclined to dally
with shadows of his own making.
He still sought.
It was his only way out
while still here.
One early morning,
too weary to even think
his mind turned-off
its self-seeking flashlight.
"My God” he thought,
“I have gone spiritually blind!"
Then of a sudden, he began to shine.

Life, often, is self-seeking,
Sages did, within speaking;
Enlightenment dawns; not soon,
Yet, it's not magical boon...!
From tumbling forth from the womb,
Till reaching our precious tomb;
What go, exactly, betwixt?
Are truths, by nature, well-fixed...?
Not had a wish to be born,
No hope of life till next morn;
Puzzle is whole existence,
Too less trace of the essence...!

As an answer to the all too common vitriol and truculence
I seek to anesthetize such behavior with the gifts God gave me
From a mouth that can produce venom flows milk and honey
From a base and vile self seeking "quid pro quo"
Comes the blessed parry of a forgiving heart
When people ask why I don't act as they would
The only response I could ever give is...
"Because God didn't give me what I deserve."

Pain held in heart I’m hanging on,
Amidst life’s grave gloom, going on.
World vicarious watch as if fun,
From cracked mirror I’m peeping on.
Smoke billows from my burning heart,
I battle but it’s blazing on.
How self-seeking can be this world!
Friends as foes askance looking on.
My woes are out to wear me out,
Though hurt my heart keeps humming on.

I sense that my Self is wandering,
My Self seeking,Nothingness,
Like space like the universe..........., E x p a n d i n g,
Thin-
ning
its-
elf
In-
to
Nonexistence,
'Til then, the tiny strings of time and space,
Will have to settle for e t r o n p y,
Variably echoing the preset notion
Of all things that have been born,
"We are because we have not yet ceased
to be."
For now, I am
Waiting,
I find myself wondering.
