A lawyer who sought approbation
Had a penchant towards litigation
He would argue his case
With a smile on his face
Then win in his final summation...

Love’s compounding 
Enumeration 
Of inner interest
The summation of our hearts
Affection 
Is appreciation 
Serving desire 
Through our end…together...

What does it take to become great?
Allow me a moment to extrapolate.
It’s the summation of things in a life that were not fate,
Being oneself is the great escape.

You ask, how can we know one is great?
Allow me a moment to extrapolate.
It’s the summation of things in a life that were not fate,
Being oneself is the great escape....

zillions-
amounts beyond
our imagination
like the depth of infinity-
worthless

zillions-
open-ended
eluding summation
endless quantities revealing
nothing

Individual’s individual,
summation of one

The snow always fresh,
no marks on the trail

Those tracks left by others,
a map to retreat from

Direction internal
—new spirit to hail

Can't avoid yesterday by dreaming of tomorrow;
But there is no need to wallow
In the superfluous sorrow;
All those wrongful things . . .
All the righteous acts . . .
The summation of it all,
Is what we feel and do right now....

Small iambic form named
Sonnet- is quite succinct
Scripted in fourteen lines
Sundered into three parts:
Stage- outlined in Octave
Sestet- four-line feedback
Summation- last two lines.

For a blue
So  bountiful
You bow down
Before it

To the Master 
Blender of
This endless 
Blanket

Of blue light.

A soul's ascent
To a starry sky
Stops short 
Of con-

Summation
Clouds 
Become
An eternal rest

Reward by 
The Cloud-
Master
For life  

Lived best....

Back of the room I sat.
An eye on every rat.
Trying to do math.

The date is a Summation-

Number 1 is three times nine,
Number 2 is even and prime.

I'll give you the last-
twenty seventeen.

The Eagle eye for chewing gum.
Get your head down, do that sum!

I felt I was full of affection
'Till he started enumeration,
His ego inflation
My interpretation,
Had compounded that situation.


He'd better show appreciation
And maybe even some elation
If he wants gyration
Or any sensation,
And Brother, that is my summation.

                 Sharing the Stars
                        *****

No matter your skin color nor political orientation,
We are most truly united, by sharing the same stars.
Amazingly, a most peaceful summation!
Our diversity, so peaceful, in God's brilliant light-show.
His nightly, divine, twinkling constellations.

Love,
Panagiota

Better Angels


The better angels of our nature
The higher aspects of our hearts
The deeper yearnings of our beings
The true summation of our parts

It is to this that I aspire
It is to this my soul assumes
To the highest but no higher
Only what a man presumes

Only where the best have been
Only where the saints have trod
To be less would would be a sin
To be more would be a god...

The following is me paraphrasing,
John Nash, 
one of the most brilliant, amazing, 
Nobel Prize winning mathematicians;
"My whole life has been numbers of varied equations, 
searching for answers to problems and their solutions,
and in summation I have come to this ultimate conclusion,
It Is Only Through The Equation Of Love 
That Truly Gives Our Lives Any Meaning,
whether that love be for someone or for some thing."...

A droplet of water. 
Millions of molecules, zillions of interactions;
Chaos.

Struggle continues, for self preservation;
And annihilation.
It is unique.

HA  HA  HA
One of so many.

Born and struggles to live, creates attachment;
A puddle, a pond, a river, a sea, an ocean.
Only to evaporate; to die.

A struggle meaningful, only till it ends.
Worthless in summation.
Or, is it?

Don’t know the answer.
Only know this; its life....

I see the dotted lines
     The never ending road
A long twisted ribbon of pain
     It leads me away from you

I see the dotted lines
     Like a paint by number artist
Trying desperately to cover
     Knowing it will never do

I hate the dotted lines
     They penetrate my head
Like bullets in the rain
     Distance can’t deny

I sign the dotted lines
     The summation of our love
Wiped away by pen and ink
     As we say goodbye...

Ratchet Gentrification 
Sneaky Dislocation 
A People Sank Deeper Into An Abyss of Desperation 
No Lubrication....
In Summation....
Screwed... 
Without Consideration
of The Deprivation of Unaffordable Habitation 
Nostalgic Disintegration 
Of Memories Nesting in the hearts of Generations 
Shameful Demonstration of Humanity...
Straight up Insanity...
Sad to Say
Failure to Realize Damage Done Today...
Create a Price Future Offspring Will Pay.......

I don’t think it’s foolish,
Simple-minded, silly, whimsical,
Naïve, and/or childish
To believe that love is magical.

So-called experts offer
No scientific explanations
That any would prefer.
Love wordlessly defies summation.

You know that I love you,
But that is so hard to quantify;
And I am loved by you--
I don’t need to know a reason why.

Some believe in magic.
Most believe in something up above.
Wouldn’t life be tragic,
If we all stopped believing in love?!...
