Love Is Kind
Love is wonderful love is kind. 
It puts a smile when love is kind.
It doesn't envy it does not boast.
Love is not proud or self- seeking.
When love is kind. :)...

Forever Alone
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-...

True Self
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.

Greeds Cost
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...

[bard1]
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
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....

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

The Light
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
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...!

Prompted By a Quote
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."...

Waiting
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....
